[Artist] KOKIA

[coachie]

I can't believe there's still no thread for her! (yeah, I've been meaning to make one since last year and forever, but I'm a lazy ass )


Since I suck at promoting, I'll let the woman speak/sing for herself!





This is probably what alot of people got into her music.

I first discovered her through her album THE VOICE, which I bought after I had heard "Follow the Nightingale" on some gametrailer.
But it took another few months and her mini-album "Fairy Dance ~ Kokia meets Ireland" to get me fully hooked.

She's been coming to europe for concerts for five or so years now, first only visiting France/Belgium, but last year she expanded to other countries and thus I got the chance to see her live for the first time and OMG! it was so amazing (eventough the location sucked)!!! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
Apart from that otherworldly voice she has such a charming and warm stage pressence, interacting with her fans and just being open and a all around nice person.

So, right now I feel SUPER ECSTATIC because I found out that she's coming back to Europe in October!!!!

There are no tour dates as of yet, but one (9th Oct. Poland, Blue Note Jazz Club, like last year) but she's coming to all the countires she's visited so far and even adding new ones for this year!!!! So watch out for a concert maybe near YOU! 

I hope to find some fans here! (or even better convert some )

She sings the OP theme for the Anime Break Blade

I thought she stops singing already.

the last song I heard from her was Ai no Rinkaku (ED theme of Brain Powerd)

Aww man, too bad I missed that... but I probably wouldn't have been able to come anyway for several reasons, so that's okay. Glad you had a good time And Kokia's music is AMAZING.
