  • 7ORDER Promote First Major Single Release With Karaoke Kan Collaboration Campaign

    27.June.2021 | MUSIC

    Japanese seven-member boy group 7ORDER are promoting the release of their 1st major single Ame ga Hajimaru no Aizu/SUMMER Samazama, which is releasing on July 7, and their live DVD and Blu-ray WE ARE ONE, with a campaign in collaboration with Karaoke Kan.

    The campaign is titled ‘7ORDER x Karaoke Kan Let’s Sing This Summer!! Collaboration Campaign supported by LIVE DAM Ai’ and it’s running from June 24 to August 31. To enter the campaign, you need to sing 7ORDER’s songs using one of Karaoke Kan’s DAM rooms at any of their branches in Japan. That will enable fans to enter for a chance to win a free 7ORDER microphone, signed poster, and more. DAM rooms as well as monitors in at Karaoke Kan receptions will feature original 7ORDER videos, and select branches will even have panels plastered up.



    The song Ame ga Hajimaru no Aizu from the upcoming single was released early on digital music streaming and download platforms on June 17. The faced-paced uplifting rock song is based on the coincidence that every time a big day comes around for 7ORDER, it rains: it happened on the day they decided to form as a band, during their first concert, and when they signed to a major label. It’s a song to show how the rain isn’t always that bad.

     

    The second track on the single, SUMMER Samazama, was written by NAOTO and HIROKI of ORANGE RANGE. You can hear that when the full single releases on July 7.

  • As part of “Manga no Hi”, DAM Karaoke reveal the most popular anime songs to sing!

    03.November.2016 | MUSIC

    To celebrate “Manga no Hi” (translation: Manga Day), which was established by The Japan Cartoonists Association along with 5 publishing companies, DAM karaoke carried out a survey to find out the most requested anime songs.

    ※The original list contains a selection of top 30 theme songs from anime adapted from manga.

     

    At number one is Motohiro Hata’s “Himawari no Yakusoku”. The song was released in August 2014 and was used as the main theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon” and explores the gap from childhood to adulthood. The song was listed at second place in DAM’s annual karaoke request rankings last year, being sung by many people.

    In second place is Yoko Takahashi with “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis”. Released in October 1995, it is known as the opening theme song to the anime series “Neon Genesis Evangelion”. The track has been in DAM’s annual rankings for 7 consecutive years since 2009. The song was released more than 20 years ago and continues to be loved by all, showing no signs of disappearing any time soon.

    At third place is UNISON SQUARE GARDEN with “Sugar Song and Bitter Step”, which was released in May 2015 and used as the ending theme for the anime “Blood Blockade Battlefront”. Just like the anime, the song is cute and has a catchy melody, with its popularity coming from its original sounding rhythm.

    “Manga no Hi” was adapted from Japan’s national holiday “Bunka no Hi” (or “Culture Day”) which is also celebrated on November 3rd. Manga no Hi specifically celebrates the culture of manga. It also shares the same birthday as the legendary postwar manga artist Osamu Tezuka.

     

    It’s safe to say that manga is most certainly an aspect of Japanese culture adored by the world, particularly today. The anime song ranking has proven very interesting, listing songs of anime from the Showa period to anime songs of today.

    ※This list was calculated based on the number of times a song was sung at Daiichi Kosho’s Karaoke DAM.
