ALL about KOKIA

Karma – it’s a funny old thing. One dastardly deed and somewhere down the line the repercussions

will bite you on the backside. Likewise, karma can also bring great rewards. he concept is one

with which !apanese songstress KOKIA is all too familiar – not least because it’s the title of hersingle from the opening of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom .

It also defines her career as a musician. "he had been in#ol#ed in music from the tender age of

two$and$a$bit, when her instruments of choice were the #iolin and piano. Later in life she had stints

at music school in America and !apan before being snapped up by a ma%or label while still at

uni#ersity. "he pro#ided the theme to a &lay"tation game, and her first few singles had been

penned by the same team behind one of the biggest hits from the pre#ious year. If that wasn’t

enough, the singles had also found their way into dramas and anime. 'et, e#en with such a large

amount of backing, e(posure and her own e(tensi#e musical background, her releases barely made

the top )** of the Oricon chart.

'et, karma wasn’t going to let all the hard work go unwarranted. As if by di#ine inter#ention her

fourth single +Arigatou...’ made her a star. hough, not immediately. And not in !apan. In fact,

KOKIA’s debut album failed to chart in her home country at all. ortunately for her, its release in the

rest of Asia was an entirely different story and can be credited to -ong Kong’s super star di#a

"ammi heng. She released a co#er of +Arigatou...’ the same week t hat KOKIA made her Asian

debut, catapulting the !apanese singer to t he stardom she was unable to achie#e back home.

KOKIA’s original #ersion was e#entually awarded third best song in -ong Kong’s /est International

"ong Awards. "uddenly, her career was back on track.

And thank goodness. 0ithout "ammi heng’s success, a second ma%or KOKIA a lbum would ha#e

been highly unlikely. And without a second album, her continued career in the world of the anime$

song would ha#e probably died as well. he opening

to Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino would not e(ist as we know it, the ethereal and haunting #ocals

that set off the beginning of Origin: Spirits of the Past would simply not be, and a whole l ine of

yet$to$be$ anime would ha#e #ery different theme songs.

-er relati#e success outside of !apan, particularly 1urope, has come from the e(posure anime hasgi#en her #oice. In 2*)* she conducted her first world tour 3and by +world’, she clearly meant

1urope and !apan4 which included dates in London and Ireland, the country which inspired the
