Background

KOKIA (Akiko Yoshida) has been a mainstay of the Japanese music scene since the late 90s, famously known for tracks like “Arigatou…” and her work on various high-profile anime soundtracks. Her music often carries themes of nature, love, and global peace, sung in Japanese, English, and even her own “KOKIA language” (scat/gibberish lyrics that focus on phonetic beauty). The “Life deepens from here” series represents a mature retrospective of her career, focusing on how life’s experiences enrich the music one creates and shares.
