ASOBO-English ver. by NiziU’s 9-member girls group out now!

Published

on

The 9-member girls’ group, “NiziU”, who released their latest digital single ‘ASOBO’ recently, will now be releasing ‘ASOBO-English ver.-’ which is the English version of ‘ASOBO’ on the 26th of April.

NiziU is a girls’ group whose members are formed originally from an audition project called “Nizi Project”. This project was created by Sony Music Entertainment Japan and JYP Entertainment and the girls were selected from the 10,000 girls who competed to debut as a girl group.

Their pre-debut digital mini-album, “Make you happy”, charted at No.1 in three categories on various digital rankings. It was the first time a female artist group was able to achieve this. They also gained over a hundred thousand downloads for their digital album. They gained 110 rankings on music charts all over the world.

The total streaming views of the leading track, which is also the title track, ‘Make you happy’, has over 300 million streams. Its music video on YouTube has also been viewed almost over 300 million times.

In December 2020, they finally made their much-awaited debut with the single ‘Step and a step’. The song successfully hit No.1 on the Japanese Oricon Weekly Singles music chart as well as the Billboard Japan Hot 100. This song gained over 100 million views on their total streaming views. Also, the music video on YouTube has been viewed over 100 million times. They received a special award at the 62nd Japan Record Awards at the end of 2020. They appeared on the program of the 71st NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red-White Song Festival) just 29 days after their debut. They made a great impression on viewers with their amazing performance.

Their success continued through 2021 and they released their second single ‘Take a picture /Poppin’ Shakin’’ in April 2021. The song also ranked No.1 on the Japanese Oricon Weekly Singles chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100. This song also gained 123 titles on the music streaming charts around the world and its total streaming views are now over 100 million. In July 2021, the song ‘Super Summer’, which was the first summer song for NiziU, was a great hit, receiving great reception. The song was used as the song for an advertisement for Coca-Cola products.

On the 24th of November, they released their 1st album “U” which has been long-awaited by their fans. This album was a compilation of their activities since their debut, so the fans had been expecting its release. The focus track “Chopstick” and the album both ranked No.1 on the Oricon Weekly Digital Album chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100. On Billboard Japan, they ranked No.1 in the category of CD sales, Downloads, and Lookup. They totally dominated the charts.

The limited streaming edition called ‘U-Special Edition’, ranked No.1 on the Oricon weekly Digital Album as well as all different kinds of music streaming charts. The song ‘Take a picture’, which was included in their 1st album “U”, has been nominated for the Japan record awards for their excellent work. They also joined the 72nd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red-White Song Festival) for two years in a row.

Their latest song ‘ASOBO’ has the main theme of ‘playfulness’. The message they want to send to fans is that “if you have a playful spirit you can learn to enjoy any mundane moments in daily life”. This song gives power to people who find boredom in their daily life and also it gives a positive feeling for when people are feeling down and are beaten up about their current situation. This is the latest single as well as their first digital single of 2022 since their 1st album “U” dropped, which was a big hit last year.

This song is a fun upbeat dance music with a pop nuance, which is influenced by house music and the Motown sound. The composition of the song is totally new for NiziU. NINA and MIIHI sing strongly in “ASOBO” as the lead vocalists and RIMA and MAYUKA join joyfully and build up the song together. The third part is about dancing and the sound is addictive and playful towards the climax. The sound is so rhythmic and you feel like dancing as soon as you start listening to the music.

Since the release on the 12th of April, the song has ranked No.1 beating many famous artists. They topped the Japan Oricon daily digital single ranking, Oricon daily streaming single ranking, LINE MUSIC, YouTube Music, AWA, mu-mu, and RecoChoku rankings. Furthermore, on the 15th of April, they gained over 10 million views for the music video of this song (https://youtu.be/SpPY1T8UU7Y). It is promising another great success for the girl group.

Now the English version of ‘ASOBO’, which has been an amazing hit in the music scene, is going to be released.

Previously, English versions of their songs were released on disk2, which was the limited album B type when their 1st album “U’ was released last year. Also, they have released English versions of ‘Take a picture’ and “Poppin’ Shakin’’ in the album “U-Special Edition-”, which was in the streaming limited-edition album.

Putting RIMA and NINA, who are native English-speaking members, as the center of the group, NiziU has worked very hard on the recording. Please check out the result of their efforts, ‘ASOBO -English ver.’. Their unique sound is so special to listen to.

NiziU will be joining the biggest Korean culture festival called “KCON 2022 Premiere” on Sunday, the 8th of May at CJ E&M center in Seoul Korea where they will be performing “ASOBO -English ver.- “for the first time ever! Stay tuned!

We are indeed very happy to work with Mr Darren Reddy. He has an amazing personality, the right attitude and upholds the global Music Industry with the highest respect,” Says LA PRESTIGE Management. DIL DENA was a project the 33 year old Singer began working on in 2023 with the Label alongside other musical projects. “The collaboration of international artistry gave birth to DIL DENA. The lyricists, producers, Artist management, legal team, investors, musicians, PR and the marketing / distribution team of LA PRESTIGE had crafted a commendable piece of art (DIL DENA) and made me comfortable with the production when performing the song in my own voice for the first time,” says Reddy. The song is a love song based on a Man who is in love with his perception of an ideal Woman and becomes very descriptive about his love for her as well as his infatuated perception of an ‘ideal’ woman he is pursuing.

Darren Reddy, was born in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. His parents are of Telugu and Hindi speaking lineages with their ancestry deriving from India. He started his musical journey at the age of 3. His voice is described as a soft soulful colorful texture with a wide vocal dynamic range based on his versatility of genres.

It has also been reported that a few mainstream international distributors have also joined working with the label LA PRESTIGE, after seeing the Label’s vision, to also expand on global music distribution and Artist development opportunities amongst Indian communities outside of India.

The vibrant Singer is also an eastern percussionist and is well known in KZN, SA for his percussion. Reddy says,

“I owe my music to my parents, my teachers and the audiences whom have followed my music since childhood. They have always been so kind and supportive towards me. Music is a divine art bestowed upon us by birth and should be taken seriously at all times to nurture and preserve its divinity for generations to come. We must not forget that music preserves the very basis of who we are through our culture and this divinity is Godly,” says Reddy.

Darren is a fan of many legendary Singers such as Dr Sonu Nigam, whom has a major influence in Darren’s musical journey, Shreya Ghoshal, Mohd. Rafi, Dr SPB, Dr TMS, Dr KJ Yesudas and Kaushiki Chakraborty. He also grew up listening to legendary classical musicians such Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Allah Rakha, Ojas Adhiya, Pundit Ravi Shankar and multiple Grammy Award Winner Anoushka Shankar.

Tamboora Strikes the Right Chord: A Dual Launch for Artistic Synergy

Published

on

Delhi, India – Tamboora, the brainchild of Shashank Saxena and co-founded by Nikita Chhabra, is making waves in the artistic community with the simultaneous launch of two innovative platforms: Tamboora, a social network for artists, and Alekhyam, an online academy catering to art learners and teachers alike.

Shashank Saxena, a seasoned Performing and Teaching Artist with 15 years of experience, is the driving force behind Tamboora. His expertise spans various genres of Indian and Western music, and he has collaborated with global art figures and organizations. Shashank recognizes the challenges and strengths of artists, stressing the importance of unity and growth within the artistic community. Tamboora, with its diverse features, serves as a platform for musicians, visual artists, fans, and service providers to come together and thrive.

Nikita Chhabra, Co-Founder of Tamboora, brings her eight years of teaching experience to Alekhyam. Having taught sketching and painting to over 12,000 students online and offline, Nikita envisions making arts education affordable and accessible to all. However, it’s important to note that both Shashank and Nikita are actively involved in both platforms. Shashank’s extensive artistic background informs his contributions to Alekhyam, while Nikita’s teaching expertise influences Tamboora’s vision.

Tamboora and Alekhyam operate symbiotically, showcasing the founders’ dedication to fostering a supportive environment for art and artists. Shashank and Nikita, along with their team, are committed to addressing the personal, social, and economic aspects of art. Both platforms live up to their tagline “Jab Dekho Art,” focusing solely on the pure essence of art, free from bias and open to continuous improvement.

In addition to providing a haven for artists, Tamboora and Alekhyam have a philanthropic aspect. A commendable 5% of the monthly profits from both platforms contribute to animal welfare, showcasing the founders’ commitment to making a positive impact beyond the artistic realm.

Tamboora and Alekhyam transcend being mere apps; they represent a movement to unite, empower, and uplift the global artistic community. Governed by company laws, secured by advanced technologies, and simplified by artists like Shashank, Nikita, and their versatile team – which may include users-turned-collaborators – these platforms are driven by pure artistic intentions.

In a nutshell, Tamboora’s dual launch of a social network for artists and an online academy for art education marks a significant stride towards creating a more interconnected and supportive global artistic community. With Shashank Saxena’s vision for collaborative creativity and Nikita Chhabra’s commitment to accessible art education, Tamboora and Alekhyam promise to resonate with artists and learners worldwide. The apps are now available for download on Android and iOS platforms as ‘Tamboora – Art Social Network’ and ‘Alekhyam Arts’ inviting individuals to join the community and start a journey of artistic discovery growth.
