VOCALOID IA landing in Great Britain!
The Japanese artist born from VOCALOID technology, IA to debut into
British market this Autumn at Brand Licensing Europe 2015 and HYPER JAPAN

 The Japanese artist born from VOCALOID technology, IA debut into British market is official.
Her voice source is “Lia”, a Grammy-award winning artist who has sung a number of anime theme songs. At her launch, IA won first place in the Amazon music production software rankings, and related videos now have over 100 million views online.
IA’s full-scale launch as an artist was in 2013. Boasting the largest sales for a Japanese motorsports “SUPER GT” official theme song for the second year running, there was also a collaboration with the music-and-dance game “GROOVE COASTER”, the internationally-released anime “Mekakucity Actors”, and a CD included with the last volume of the Neon Genesis Evangelion Manga.
In July 2015, the game “IA/ VT -COLORFUL-” was released for PlayStation® Vita to good reviews from all around, awarded first place in the Japanese “Weekly Famitsu” Magazine and ranking second on the PlayStation® store.
But IA’s activities aren’t limited to Japan: she’s had live events in France, Taiwan and America selling out. She has just performed in New York on October 11th and the next date is HYPER JAPAN Christmas Market in London in November.
IA is represented by 1st PLACE, a Tokyo based company founded in 2004. Besides IA, 1st PLACE manages pluriprized artists like Jin, Shizu or Ishifuro. It also runs the “IA PROJECT” through which it supports the activities of young creators.
1st PLACE will exhibit at Brand Licensing Europe 2015 introducing IA and “Mekakucity Actors” to European dealers.
This is definitely a hot Autumn for Japanese VOCALOID content.
