On Wednesday, 4 December 2024, Maika Loubté will release their first live sound recording 'Live at WWW X - art of mani mani' to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
The soundtrack is a live recording of the one-man live 'art of mani mani at WWW X', which took place at Shibuya WWW X last November to celebrate the release of Maika's mini-album 'mani mani'.
mani mani' is an EP of seven tracks that freely move between synthpop, EDM, breakbeats and ambient, etc. The title "mani mani" is an ancient Japanese word meaning "as it happens" or "as it goes". It is inspired by the ancient Japanese phrase 'mani mani', which means 'as it comes, as it goes', and is taken from a line in the Hyakunin Isshu poem '~Kami no mani mani', which means 'when you are faced with events in life that you cannot control, affirm what comes to you'.
Supporting musicians include sound designers Sountrive and So Kanno (BREIMEN), and the album also includes the tracks 'It's So Natural feat. AAAMYYYY', which was released in the Corona disaster, and 'Hana Flame feat. .Chinza DOPENESS' were also performed for the first time in front of the audience with the artists themselves as guests.
The mixing for this album was also handled by Micah himself, and the tranquillity and frenzy of the day was packed into a single piece of work. He says: 'It's more than the original song. I'd like you to enjoy it while listening to it and comparing it with the original. The cover photo was taken by photographer Hayato Watanabe.
Maika is also currently working on a completely new album.
