On January 15, 2026, Daiichikosho Co., Ltd. is set to launch a collaboration between their original karaoke service 'ANTENNA!' and Avex Music Creative's distribution service 'BIG UP!'. This partnership aims to enhance the catalog of songs available for karaoke users via the DAM service, known for its diverse offerings of original tracks in the karaoke realm.
Since its inception in July 2024, 'ANTENNA!' has been at the forefront of bringing tracks from promising new artists to DAM users. This includes innovative services like 'LIVE Karaoke' and 'Ori Kara' which utilize original sound records, providing an engaging karaoke experience. The introduction of 'ANTENNA!' has significantly boosted the exposure of songs trending on social media and video platforms, thanks to collaborations with TuneCore Japan and PNDR. Users can also enjoy karaoke with background visuals that match the song, elevating the overall experience.
With the new step of collaborating with BIG UP!, 'ANTENNA!' aims to significantly broaden its song lineup. BIG UP! leverages the scale of the extensive Avex Group to ensure artists can distribute their music to over 184 countries across 40 streaming services and stores. This not only offers artists more reach but also includes support systems for various aspects of their creative work, from YouTube content ID applications to managing Vocaloid character usage requests.
By partnering with BIG UP!, Daiichikosho is poised to create numerous connections with a wider array of artists and songs, further enriching karaoke content for users. As musical tastes become increasingly diverse, the collaboration reflects a commitment to making exceptional songs accessible to a larger audience. The goal is to respond to user demands effectively by keeping an eye on expanding partnerships with music distributors.
