Dokaka.com is the official personal website of Japanese vocal musician Dokaka (Shinya Ihara). Dokaka is known for using his mouth, nasal cavity, and throat to imitate drums, bass, guitar, and various other instruments, then layering them through multitrack recording. He has contributed to Bjork’s Medulla, the game We Love Katamari, as well as Japanese animation and advertising music. The site has been running since 2004 and feels more like an independent music archive and experimental art project than a conventional artist page.
The site includes a blog, audio clips, project notes, an artist profile, contact information, and RSS subscription. A recent focus is the new Web App “HUM 'em ALL”: users can record their own humming in the browser, upload it, and mix it online with clips from other music enthusiasts. There are also interactive experimental apps such as DKKMouthReGroover, designed to reconstruct Dokaka’s earlier multitrack material. Login supports Google, GitHub, and Discord.
No clear pricing model is shown in the main content. The blog, introductory pages, and audio content are mostly openly accessible, while HUM 'em ALL is currently in a testing phase. Historically, Dokaka has released limited-edition CD/DVD products, but the currently crawled site content does not list any online subscription, membership pricing, or purchase flow.
The main strengths are its highly distinctive artistic identity, detailed documentation, and preservation of the historical context of how an independent musician has used the internet for distribution. It also uses modern Web technologies for interactive music experiments, making it appealing for exploring sound creation. The drawbacks are that the site structure is quite personal and does not offer the clear categorization, playlists, copyright licensing, or user agreements expected from commercial music platforms. The apps are still in testing, and their stability, privacy practices, and content moderation mechanisms remain unclear.
It is best suited to fans of experimental music, beatbox, progressive rock, game music, and sound art. It may also interest people researching independent music distribution, personal creator websites, and Web Audio applications. If you simply want to listen to mainstream music or find a high-quality commercial music library, this is probably not the best fit.
The main website is likely accessible directly, but third-party login depends on Google, GitHub, and Discord. Google and Discord are usually not directly accessible in mainland China, and GitHub may also be unstable. As a result, the full user experience should be considered “partially restricted.”
