KOKIA updates: April 2024

Below, I have summarized KOKIA’s recent announcements and messages. As explained here, this will remain the style of updates for now. The updates for April are below.

Once-in-a-lifetime meetings tour

Continuing her Once-in-a-lifetime meetings, KOKIA goes to Oita and Saga next, mentioning in her blog entry for April 6 that Oita has sold out and only 10 seats remain for Saga at that point. She's also started selling her new merchandise at these concerts, including a new tour T-shirt.

KOKIA looks back on her April 13 performance in Oita and her April 14 performance in Saga in her blog entry from April 19. It was her first time for both, and she shared some pictures on her Instagram. As it's been so long since she's toured and she was hitting these places for the first time, she was pleasantly surprised to see how many people showed up. She chose the venues, BRICK BLOCK in Oita and Roman-za in Saga, for their sea-side view and historically rich atmosphere respectively, and had a good time, looking forward to visiting again next year. Next up, the special Tokyo performance on May 23!

All upcoming performances are now sold out completely. KOKIA already mentions in her April 27 blog entry how she'd like to tour again next year and attend more venues this time.

Other performances

Starting April 15, tickets have gone on sale for another private studio performance at 01073house, dubbed Piano and Kokia vol. 1, to be held on June 8 and 9. She mentions this in her blog entry for April 12 as well as in a separate news entry that same day. As the title implies, KOKIA will accompany herself on piano in a smaller venue, the way all her songs are born and how she used to perform a lot when she debuted, and for a limited number of guests. Tickets are available via TicketPay.

KOKIA also announces in her April 27 blog entry that she'll have another performance on August 3 and 4, at the Sonorium in Tokyo, a place with good memories. Further details and ticket information are still to follow. She also teases another event, but says she'll save that for next week.

Releases

No big new releases, but KOKIA does announce in her blog entry of April 27 that starting May 11, all of her Animal albums will be available digitally. The Animal Kingdom 3 and The Animal Kingdom volume 4 will then be online to stream from various platforms, completing the current set of four.

Guys they did it again.

[silouvertongues]

something about the sort of immortalization of louis' voice with the fans voices on an official album is making me so emotional

[glassofpumpkinjuice]

it turns out that when you're obsessed with a band as a depressed 14 year old you sort of imprint on them like a baby bird in ways you won't fully realize until your mid twenties

[jennying-my-thebes]

i feel like there is often a misconception that the mountain goats is "sad music". while it's true, there are many songs that are devastating, i would never personally categorize them as a "sad music" type of band. they are more so, to me, a band dedicated to expressing and sharing many different shades of the human experience, which often includes grief and loss and tragedy, but also many times encompasses joy, love, survival, hope, a sense of belonging, a desperate will to persevere through life despite the challenges and pain, and so many other parts of human existence that aren't just "sad".

[art-o-gant]

baby i was born an effigy!

+ i taped them shittily to my closet

[some-pers0n]

Will Wood songs will be the loudest and most fun music you've ever heard with saxophone solos and piano riffs and some guy screaming in your ear random words and all sorts of noises and then you search up the lyrics and realize it's about the want for love despite knowing how deeply disturbed or and unlovable you are

[jakeperalta]

unpopular opinion I guess but I think maybe not every surprise song choice or mashup is about joe or a hint at tortured poets....

As previously posted here, KOKIA updated her official webshop KOKIA Jirushi with pre-order pages for her upcoming releases: the 25th anniversary concert Blu-ray release (including a limited edition including a special booklet and signature), and her 25th Anniversary Best The Lighthouse. All are currently scheduled to ship around September 21.

In preparation for today's stream of the concert, I have posted the track lists below under a Read more link, so you can either choose to read up on which songs to expect, or to fully ignore this and go into the stream unspoiled. I will be listing the albums on which the songs first appeared, so you can use this list as a way to track down the album if you discover a new song you love!

I will update the discography page later today.
