I'm having serious troubles to stay updated on KOKIA's works, mostly because of her companies and labels.
No need to say that her discographies on Spotify and iTunes aren't complete, furthermore it seems that the contents are different.
She doesn't even have twitter and doesn't really share other releases she's participating in... wtf

Late 2020 Album "Hoshi no Uta Kaze no Naka"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uykj8v_SeX02021 04 Album "Kono Sekai no Katasumi de" (Can find this one on CDJapan, why not the previous one?)
Can you hear your language here? lol
https://youtu.be/UQiXmyyD7EY?t=1512021 04 Artery Gear Insert Song

And I like the song they did together ^^
Btw I've heard that Yoko Shimomura recently did a long symphony but so far I can't find any topic on it (do you know?). In fact I was searching for it when I saw her collab with KOKIA lol

The VGMdb page is clearly outdated. Why do they stop caring for artists whenever they leave the regular companies or labels? Same goes with Alan Dawa Dolma.

I would be interested in hearing Kajiura doing another song with KOKIA.

My favorite of her which made me fall in love with her voice is Nageki no Oto. but chouwa no oto is a close 2nd.

I was sad to hear that KOKIA's lives in China were cancelled, among other Japanese artists.

"Hippo ~Madam Hippo's dream~"

I haven't heard KOKIA's coloratura soprano stylization before. This is a playful song but she shows off a little bit, in line with the song.

She's such an interesting singer.

Wooow!

She has range, control, expressive colors, resonance, playfulness, drama. This song really brought out her cuteness and more of that feminine energy, as well as a childlike playfulness, all at the same time!

She's a next-level performer and artist, and this is with just a simple acoustic accompaniment. She uses her chest and head voice exccellently, breathy, etc.

Don't get me started on her pristine high notes. Some of the best I've heard on Kajiura's stage, I must say, and she has variation in how she can present them - piercing, dark, heavy.

Thanks for sharing this! It would be cool to hear a high-resolution audio of her performance. I should check out more of her music, and not just the Kajiura-related or trending ones.
