TOKYO — Celebrating 10 years since her debut, singer Kumi Koda showed her appreciation to fans by opening her own personalized “channel” on a streaming video service for a period of five days from July 7-12.
The site was quickly inundated with over 650,000 viewers.
Viewers were treated to streaming video of Koda’s past live performances, music videos, and brief “live” appearances by Koda herself. ON July 11, Koda mass emailed 3,000 female fans for “girls’ talk.”
