Hi.

Our mission is simple: to share inspiring narratives. We curate exceptional talents, selecting them solely based on the merit of their work, not fleeting trends. Join us in exploring the uncharted territories of creativity and celebrating the essence of artistry.

MEET COCORO AUCTION

MEET COCORO AUCTION

COCORO AUCTION is a Japanese rock band from Osaka.

How did the band start

We were classmates at University and we couldn’t decide whether to get a job or pursue our musical dreams, Ohno sent an e-mail to Awako and Ikawa, ”let's be rock stars!”, and well that’s kind of how it started.

After that, we began performing.

Greatest inspirations or influences?

When I was a high school student,  I come across a Japanese rock band ”BUMP OF CHICKEN”.

What’s your creative process to making music like?

Awako and Ohno play a central role in our music production.

No matter how we make the music, I think one of our characteristics is that we arrange the music with an image of the scenery that can be felt from the melodies and phrases.

How has covid impacted the band?

As each member spends more time at home, each one of us is having more time to face ourselves. This has led us to have more awareness to our work, at a deeper level and is pushing us more and more to create. It’s challenging to hold a live show, so more artists are doing shows online and as its also difficult to get together in a studio to record, we’re doing recordings at home. The interesting part is finding new ways to adapt to the changes.

I think that in the future, many artists will create ideas and works of art that make the world seem more fun, interesting and beautiful.

We would like to create music like that in the future.
