JASMINE is back!

She's going to release two new digital songs simultaneously August 19.



COCOROZASHI feat. AK-69
ROAD

COCOROZASHI is going to have a PV.
She's celebrating her 10th Anniversary since her debut.

There's now a staff account for her Insta with all music info, if you're as annoyed by her constant selfie game as me on her private account.

She's now signed with Eight Entertainment.

[ayu_ready?]

hopefully she will be more careful with her career and concentrates on music

[visionfactory]

^Her music career has always been secondary

[KarenPang]

Both COCOROZASHI & ROAD can be purchased digitally via iTunes USA

Both new songs are nice.
But now they try to crowdfund a new EP for November:

I'm sad. Why can't she find a label or management which''s able to properly fund her music?

Frankly I feel really bad for JASMINE cos I do think she's musically gifted

But unfortunately same with Wakeshima Kanon , both ladies have faced record label issues over the last decade or so of their career :s

[Corvina]

I do, too. She has a great voice, is talented and pretty.
I don't understand how there are so many other artists and female solos, even indie, surviving on the market, but Jasmine apparently can't.

Eight Entertainment is a label created by her and a friend btw.
She shared more info on the crowdfunding site how she has problems releasing music cause she doesn't have the money. She never stopped making music in all those years.

On another note I rediscovered Black Kitty with her releasing new stuff.
Such a smooth song. Still love it.

[thinkingoutloud89]

tbqh. I'm still a big fan but I never understood her visuals after her first album and it got worse with money missing. You can look cool on a low budget, but she always looks cheap somehow

[KarenPang]

I listened to Black Kitty today after a long while & I know back when it was 1st released , reaction to it was mixed

My opinions towards Black Kitty then & now is still the same in that I still feel the song's good

I thought JASMINE went independent after she released PURE LOVE BEST so for her to be now under a new label after releasing a series of new songs digitally , it's surprising

Aoyama Thelma hasn't sell well in years & yet Universal still keeps her in their rooster , same thing with BENI

I frankly sometimes don't understand how things work in the Japan music industry

Lastly here's a list of performances JASMINE will be performing in the next few weeks





31st Aug - Fukuoka @ Imagawa Kohan Hanabi Taikai

14th Sept @ Oita Ongaku Kan @ 097MILE SPECIAL

15th Sept - Kumamoto

5th Oct - Tokyo's Shibuya Freedom

27th Oct - Okayama's Boat Race

[thinkingoutloud89]

^she is independent. Being under a label does not not make you. As Corvina said, it is her own label - and therefore an indie label.

I still love that song that is called after that one semi-famous chic.

[KarenPang]

JASMINE's crowdfunding campaign now stands at 89%

https://www.makuake.com/project/jasmine/

212K Yen to go before JASMINE reaches the target amount

A lot of female solo acts haven't been musically successful over the last few years but they're still under the same record label they're in

I don't know why JASMINE is the exception to this :x

[Corvina]

The crowdfunding was a success, 200 % even!
And it's still running 43 days.
About 200 people supported her till now and she sold all milestones, even the one for 2 million yen.

Hope the mini will be available digital as well, not only the two digital singles they wanna put out before in October. Otherwise it's going to be hard to get the mini e.g. on auctions with such few copies being made.

[ayu_ready?]

I feel sad about this.
I love her voice and her music style. I think she's an interesting artist.
but I don't really get her 'career'.
