TOKYO, Nov 14, 2019 - (Media OutReach) - Sony Music Labels Inc.
(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Manabu
Tsujino) announces the launch of "WACAVA Project", a global
animation song covers project lead by in-house music label SACRA
MUSIC. This project is a new challenge designed to familiarize
Japanese songs to the international music market.
|
"WACAVA" is an acronym for
"World Anisong Cover Association by Various Artists". |
The music market has formally entered the era of streaming where we
no longer feel the distance between countries. It's no longer
unusual for Japanese songs to be heard among audiences around the
world. The WACAVA project aims to further familiarize audiences
outside of Japan with Japanese songs through the concept of
creating localized cover versions performed in the respective
non-Japanese languages. The project will start with animation
themes, which already have a presence in the international market,
and additional songs from the SACRA MUSIC label will be covered and
digitally released globally.
The first series kicked off today with the distribution of the
English cover version of "Catch the Moment", a song originally by
SACRA MUSIC artist LiSA and the Chinese version of "Overfly", a
song originally by SACRA MUSIC artist Luna Haruna. "Catch the
Moment" is covered by PelleK, one of the most famous anisong cover
YouTubers who has posted more than 500 cover songs and owns a
YouTube channel with more than 3,470,000 subscribers. "Overfly" is
covered by China's singer Shuang Sheng who has more than 10,000,000
subscribers throughout the Chinese social media platforms. Songs
will be distributed through music streaming and downloads
platforms.
There are also plans for cover singer auditions in hopes to
discover Japan inspired artists around the world. With the support
of Tokyo Otaku Mode which is a company delivering Japanese culture
to the world, auditions will be held in collaboration with
localized events starting with "Anime NYC" which will be held in
New York from November 15th to 17th. Applications will be accepted
from Wednesday, November 13, 2019 through Tuesday, March 31,
2020.
With this "WACAVA Project" ("wakaba" means sprouting leaves in
Japanese), we hope that the Japanese songs and melodies will reach
across continents and around the world to bloom like beautiful
cherry blossoms.
