KMNZ Follows Singing Relay With Solo Stream of Songs That Missed the Setlist

RK MUSIC — KMNZ of RK Music (10KMN LABEL) followed a multi-singer singing relay with a solo 3D stream of nearly two hours, performing songs that narrowly missed the relay’s setlist. The stream ran 108 minutes, and viewership held at around 600 people, according to the singer.

The first major song was “Posse,” a track KMNZ performs with the other two members of the trio, sung here alone. The singer said such solo versions are a way of getting the group’s songs known, and had picked it after a Super Chat from a viewer who said they had come to hear rap. The singer spent several minutes adjusting the balance between voice and backing track, asking chat to flag anything too loud, and chat kept calling it a little too big before settling on “just right.” Later came “Mela!” and “Golden Time,” both described as relay candidates that were cut.

“This is a stream where you don’t have to force yourself.” — KMNZ, on commenting during songs

Midway through, the singer addressed a point about the stream’s etiquette. Saying the relay’s chat culture tends toward heavy bursts of comments, the singer explained that the usual singing-stream rules were left off the screen, then stressed that nobody should feel pressure to post. “This is a stream where you don’t have to force yourself,” the singer said, adding that it would be a pleasure if the songs blended into someone’s daily life, and that a plain written note on a song is welcome but not required. A Super Chat that said the listener had closed their eyes and could not type was among the 6 paid messages.

An a cappella corner followed at about the one-hour mark, with requests from chat ranging from pop standards to recent hits. The singer forgot lyrics on several songs and said so. The singer moved to the backing track for “Tokyo Flash,” then sang one more song while seated, after changing the camera framing for a full-body view.

Early in the stream, the singer said the relay had added roughly 800 to 900 subscribers to the group’s channel and called subscriptions a real encouragement, and invited viewers to a one-man show planned for next year. In closing, the singer asked newcomers to watch the group’s recent free 30-minute 3D live to see its singing and humor, and signed off with a wish for good dreams.
