Project Management
AI FUJIMORI LIVE RECORDING at Kitty IZU STUDIO
She professed to be an independent artist to realize a big project in 2018.
She created an uncensored the best album with a full band one-shot recording and launched a project that fans could actually witness in the recording studio. In the crowdfunding that was raised as the production cost, the target amount of 700,000 yen was achieved overnight, and finally 2,174,000 yen was collected.
The recording has a long history and was done at "Kitty Izu Studio", one of the best studios in Japan. In addition, she worked with a number of professionals, including a recording engineer who worked on big Japanese artists, a mastering engineer who worked on the Rolling Stones high resolution master, and a mix in Chicago. All the songs are royalty-free.
In 2019, she launched a project to pre-sale new songs and publish the entire production process from songwriting to recording. It succeeds in collecting production costs exceeding 920,000 yen only by the advance sale.
All songs are free downloads and royalty-free.
In addition, she sold a booklet without a CD instead of a CD at an in-store live hosted by a CD shop. It was rare in Japan at the time when CDs were the mainstream, and it was featured in many media such as newspapers and radio, and the challenge to a new style of not selling music attracted a lot of attention.
Video Production Project at a Live House
The influence of COVID-19 has hit musicians and people involved in event work, so she launched a project to produce Ai Fujimori's video work with the minimum number of people needed to create employment. The amount of money raised for the production cost exceeded three times the target amount, and it was broadcast on TV.
