Regarding the footprint information, the information on the new events taking place at “01073 house” in 2024 are updated. Moreover, some information, which was missing, is added as well. A little more work will be done to add all the event information for the footprint.
I have resumed updating the temporarily halted footprint information and added the latest information up to 2024 that is currently available.
I’ve already attended a live performance by KOKIA in Yokohama, and through her live performances and MC, she makes me feel the spirit of “once in a lifetime” more than ever. I felt that the upcoming live performances in various places will surely be enjoyable for both new and long-time fans.
Due to the circumstances of the administrator, updates have been suspended for a while, but I would like to gradually start updating the content of this website again.
Originally, this page was created impulsively to support KOKIA’s 25th-anniversary celebration, but due to my personal life reasons, updates had to be put on hold. After meeting KOKIA again at a Sonorium concert and receiving some energy from her, along with a sense of relief from overcoming the challenges of 2023, I hope to be able to update little by little once more.
The purpose of this page is to publish an interview with KOKIA for archival purposes that was originally published free of charge on a web page. However, we will promptly delete the page upon request from the copyright holder.
