Now I'm not saying this because I'm a blind hikki fan, but Kaho is quite basic (personality wise) I think, like Leona Lewis. I dislike both their voices though. Hikki's also a bit basic (personality wise) but at least she pumped out jams and interesting music. Or maybe hikki's interesting? I don't know. All I know is that she's in love with her bear and owns a farm. But about Kaho, she seems to be just a rehash. Maybe she'll change. Look at ayu. Her debut was all rehash, and then came the next few albums (and y'all know what happened to her after ASfXX).

But I won't deny her potential though. HOWEVER it seems like she's gonna pull a gohan and not unlock her true potential until like 200 episodes. THEN when/if she does unlock her potential, she'll get shafted by the 'original'. Basically, hikki's coming back or something.

Although I did like her voice in the latest vid that truehappiness posted. Once again, potential. Doesn't mean it will be realized. It's just there.

Okay. Fair enough!

I never understood why there is such a strong urge to compare her to Utada Hikaru. While I do admit there are some similarities, but it's setting the bar a bit high. Her personality is difficult to judge at this point as well. We only have a short interview (in text form) if even that. No public appearances etc. The upcoming ANN GOLD radio broadcast should reveal a bit more.

truehappiness posted what video again?

[Delicious n Bold]

I think it's fair because she's heralded as the second coming of utada.
The press did it, not me ;P

I recorded the All Night Nippon GOLD radio show from Nippon Broadcasting today. It was posted to JPopsuki too, if you want to download it.

Kaho sang many songs live. It was her first time on radio as well as studio live, so she was nervous! Her English pronunciation is very good as expected from a resident of Australia. She only uses Japanese to communicate with her family, or more like parents only, speaks English with her older brother. The announcer was like "are you really 15-year-old?" after hearing her sing. There is a such a big contrast between her speaking (soothing, soft) and singing (deep, mature) voice. I was surprised.

This girl got talent! Looking forward to new work in 2014.

[hayasaki]

i'm curious about the program!! More than half of this setlist are my favorite songs!

[Yooku]

Any news about this girl?

[Bigtop]

Yeah, I haven't been checking her lately - not much news... And I'm skeptical about kaho's potential success, especiallly after recently Sayuri Sugawara (one of my favorite singers, and Final Fantasy XIII theme song singer), after a somewhat succesful debut, she is no longer on a major music label and is working as an independent...

Working on new music, maybe album. Going to appear at the "J-WAVE TOKYO PIANO JAMBOREE" event on 4/13. That's pretty much all we know.



Sorry for not replying sooner. Been a bit missing in action.

J-WAVE TOKYO PIANO JAMBOREE 2014.04.13

Kaho's first live in front of a audience of this size. All other acts are veterans with years of experience, whereas she is the rookie who just debuted. I heard she did well and impressed the crowd. Can't wait for the radio and TV broadcasts later on.

I should be able to record from radio, but gotta rely on jpopsuki for the TV footage (BS Asahi channel).

I hope we get an announcement of something new from her soon!
