massenext, operator of the music agent site 'ZULA', announced a partnership starting May 28 with Daiichikosho’s master recording karaoke service 'ANTENNA!' available on DAM.

This partnership enables songs distributed through ZULA to be made available for karaoke, providing artists with new revenue opportunities and increased fan interaction.

ZULA users can now apply for karaoke distribution, allowing their tracks to be featured on DAM via ANTENNA!. This creates a seamless transition from music streaming to the karaoke market.

*Karaoke distribution is subject to a selection and review process by massenext and Daiichikosho for artists who opt-in.

Background of the Partnership While music distribution continues to grow primarily through streaming, karaoke remains a vital musical touchpoint in Japan. Increasingly, songs that go viral on social media and video platforms see secondary success or heightened awareness when they are 'sung' by audiences.

However, for many independent artists and labels, the procedural barriers for karaoke distribution have often led to missed opportunities. The collaboration between ZULA and ANTENNA! aims to remove these hurdles and realize a world where 'distributed music is naturally sung.'

About ANTENNA! 'ANTENNA!' is a master recording karaoke service by Daiichikosho designed to quickly provide songs by promising 'next-break' artists on DAM.
