ありがとう！

[Ido013]

Sweet thanks for showing us a site for Japanese free music! I already knew of muzie(dot)co(dot)jp that promoted free music somehow but didnt know that Wacca one!

[AciidExE]

Best background song was Tonik

[Hikosaemon]

The man can play, can't he? ;)

[daichensworld]

thanx for using Tonik! We really do appreciate the fact that you introduced us to Creative Commons, Wacca, Jamendo, and everything!

[Hikosaemon]

Hahaa, MATE! How could I not?! aside from being a rocking track, somehow I think it really fits with the vid as well. Thank YOU for uploading it there!

[MasakiHikaru]

Cool! So this means I can upload my music to be used by other people and apply a CC license!? This is great! Thank you!

[Hikosaemon]

Mate - EXACTLY! I really recommend the worldwide site Jamendo as well, but as a Japanese music site, for me, Wacca is unrivalled. If you upload stuff there, send me the link!

Peace

[MasakiHikaru]

I'll be sure to. I'm working on getting an opening for my channel and a shorter one for my videos. After I release those i'll be sure to create an account and post the music.

Ta2ya-MyHOMETOWNの地元ラップおもしろい。ひよ­こ豆-タロキチ-18607も素敵ですね！

[Hikosaemon]

俺もひよこ豆の曲をけっこう気に入っています♪

サイドバーのリンクでアーティスト・ページでもっと聞けますよ。

そしてＢＹ－ＮＣだからちゃんとクレジットをして、お金を稼がな­い限り、音楽を動画に使って良い事になっています ^u^

[ArishaInTokyo]

Very informative! Another great resource.

I couldn't help but wonder: do you know if the site's name is a funky respelling of "waka"? It made a lot of sense when I compared the way waka poetry was used with how wacca is facilitating music exchanges.

[Hikosaemon]

I loved the explanation of the name and the site - and I have found it very interactive. The music artists would send me nice messages thanking me when I registered as fans for their stuff, and I've had some good email conversations with them - it is a lot like the live indies scene in Japan where everyone is just very friendly and approachable.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Peace

[APOKALYPSE34]

Hiko you are the man for letting us know about this!

I do feel its a great way to get music even with overseas users when I do plan to put my stuff out I will have to look into this!

[Hikosaemon]

Hey man, happy to be of service, and to make music of people like yourself more accessible to geeks like myself ;)

[denitson777]

Of course my fave is Tonik by Daichen and Shirohige :) ,the only site I use is jamendo (for Now) Im gonna have to check Wacca and the other sites too,Thanks for the info :D

peace!

[daichensworld]

thanx for your constant support Denitson!

[Hikosaemon]

Daichen has some real skillz, doesn't he? ;)

Jamendo is of course the creative commons king, but I have found some real gold on Wacca - what is playing in the background here is a small part of that. Check my own channel page there and see the artists I am fans of - they are all good original creative commons stuff

[fatblueman]

You are an endless fount of information on such things! Going to upload now!

[Hikosaemon]

Hey man, I already fan registered your artist page and will go and slap some gushing recommendations in Japanese on there right after this ;)

[AgentCell]

are you a audio/sound engineer?

[Hikosaemon]

In a former life, I was a club DJ, so I get kinda deep into this stuff - what I like about being really involved in music with artists is that creative people are always really in touch with themselves and what they are doing - it always makes for really good conversation.

Peace

[AgentCell]

hey hikosaemon if you dont mind me asking what is your occupation?

[NichiBeiTrader]

...he must be a professional ambassador for Creative Commons and YouTube... I mean, how else would he have so much time to video and upload all this informative stuff! ;-)

[Hikosaemon]

I like to go by the official title "International Gaijin of Mystery"... :)

[RHCPpwns]

im going to check out this wacca thing. ^-^

[Hikosaemon]

You should man, also I have made a quick user guide for the site on my blog so go check that out.

Peace

[moolikeachicken]

my favorite bgm was ひよこ豆-タロキチ-18607

: D

[Hikosaemon]

Daichen is a great mate, and his track is real quality, but for my personal taste, I agree. That was my favorite track too :)

Also, when I faved her artist channel on Wacca, she sent me a very nice message thanking me right away. I will send her the link for this vid, Hopefully she will enjoy it.

Peace

[moolikeachicken]

Oh yeah, Daichen has to be one of my fave j-vloggers. He's great : D

I'll have to look her up on Wacca. I started an account because of your vid : D Spreadin' the word!

[AbortedSheepFetus]

Man he was so relaxed. He seems like a really cool guy.

[Hikosaemon]

He was - we actually chatted for over an hour. He has a lot of cool projects like this going on, but I really like how he thought of and put this site together.

[DJsorama]

i try cheking the site but is all in japanese lol i cant read japanese lol

[Hikosaemon]

Hey man, two suggestions;

1) Check the English user guide I just made on my blog (link in sidebar)

2) Try google translation - it isn't great but it should give enough to figure out what's what.

Peace!

[acromel]

Sounds like an interesting endeavour. I wish them well.

[Hikosaemon]

It is basically Japan's closest answer to Jamendo, and I really hope it grows.

[yehyeh22]

I love your videos. That man interviewed seems like a quirky, interesting individual. :)

[Hikosaemon]

He is a really cool guy - we talked for an hour about all kinds of things, so it was a task to edit, but I think I got the essence in. The site is a great concept.

[slayer544]

sick man. thanks!

[Hikosaemon]

Glad you liked it!

Sweeet...

[TheVinster]

Haha, that girl is very cute. Anyway, looks interesting and something I might have to explore.

[Hikosaemon]

I highly recommend it - check out my channel page where I have saved some personal recommendations of good music from artists that use creative commons licenses.

[7thwave42]

Very cool video mate. More interview vids would be a good thing.

[Hikosaemon]

Haha, I'm happy with how it came out but wow, it takes SO much more work to edit and subtitle when the words belong to someone else - you have to show a lot more respect to the content to get it right. Fortunately, Inoko san here was a pretty interesting guy - but this is cut over one hour of talking together. Glad you like it though - I would love to get some more interesting Japanese people into vids like this.

Peace

[mhensley81]

thanx for sharing bro, sweet as!

[Hikosaemon]

Haha, that sounds like a written Kiwi accent... choice! :)
