Recording of the album's activities

"My Soul, Your Beats!" once ranked number one on Billboard JAPAN's annual independent record sales chart; The records she participated in also won the 53rd Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album.

First album and first solo performance

1st PLACE released Lia's debut album "prismatic" in June 2004, making her the company's first artist. In December of the same year, she held her first solo performance at Shibuya O-EAST.

The international stage in 2019

Singing and interpretation in AIR recordings

Recalling the initial Los Angeles recording of "AIR," Lia said she not only sang but also handled Japanese-English interpretation between Key and the sound engineer, conveying instructions such as starting, stopping, and holding recording clips.

AIR: The function of audition recording

Orido recalled choosing the singer for "Tori no Uta," saying that the quality of the demo recordings sent by Lia led to her selection.

Cast and recording of Starship

After a voice selection discussion at the end, Orito extends an invitation to Lia. During recording, she understood the story behind the lyrics and proactively requested to sing it again and again.

A reference for two junior singers

While preparing for 'Arkatale,' Konomi Suzuki repeatedly listened to Lia's songs and worked hard to preserve her own voice. YURiKA listed Lia as a singing goal in a 2019 interview, especially emphasizing the balance between songs and works.

AIR's early studio recording arrangements

Lia recalled in 2018 that the initial recording of "AIR" took place at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. She had to record a lot of vocal material in just two days, which put her under a lot of pressure.

Angel Beats!: A recording with a sense of progress

While recording the TV anime "My Soul, Your Beats!", Maeda repeatedly requested a stronger sense of progress, and Lia repeatedly sang it in response, striving to meet the song's demands for vocal motivation.

The ventilation challenge of the Song of Toki o Tokumu

Orito recalls that when Lia recorded "Toki wo Kamu Uta" at the old Osaka studio, she was in charge of the recording process herself; The final five-beat section of the chorus barely allows for breathing, and Lia struggles with how to sing this section.

Song selection and recording of REVIVES

In an interview published in May 2018, Lia reflected on her debut cover album "REVIVES," which was proposed by the producer in response to fans' needs; The song selection also takes input from young staff at the agency, valuing how everyone wants to hear her interpret the songs.

During recordings, she deliberately listened to fewer original singers to avoid unconsciously imitating them. "Soul of Ruflan" initially resembled Yoko Takahashi's singing style, but later shifted to a more breath-focused and melancholic expression.

She said she usually records backing vocals as well, so there are more vocal parts; After finishing recording 'Soul of Rufran,' I realized that some parts I didn't remember recording used IA.

"OPEN YOUR MIND ~Small Wings Spreading~" was recorded live with the band at the suggestion of Kohei Tanaka. Lia studied singing at Berklee College of Music and connected this studio recording to her experience of improvisation at school.
