Audience Research

Anamanaguchi make chiptune music from old Nintendo consoles. The guitarist describes how the audience find and connect to the music:

"[Chiptune music's] home is on the Internet. That's where there's the audience for it — everyone's connected to it that way. People are making this sort of stuff across the world. It's not like there's a certain scene in a certain area, like the punk scene in D.C. or something. It's the Internet. That's where its home is."

I went on the band's website and found that they mainly focus on displaying their music videos and links to their social media accounts. This encourages the fans to connect with each other through social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.

I looked at Amazon's suggested products from the page of the band's album. This shows what customers have bought as well as buying this album. Albums from bands such as Daft Punk are suggested. This indicates that Anamanaguchi's audience listen to a lot of up-beat electronic music. They could also be fans of Scott Pilgrim as Anamanaguchi made the sound track for the movie. In the 'Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought' section, we can see the Scott Pilgrim Original Soundtrack and the book 'Seconds' which the author of Scott Pilgrim also wrote. There are other CDs that have very little reviews. They could also be bands with a small following like Anamanaguchi.

(look at last fm for playing figures)






I looked at the customer reviews for Anamanaguchi's album. Only 10 people have left ratings. This shows that they don't have a large following. However, the reviews are very good and show that the people who do buy their music are very satisfied with it.  













Itunes have more reviews than amazon had but are still very good reviews. The average star rating of the band's music is 4.5/5.



The fan reviews on Ticketmaster are similar to the Amazon reviews. Not many people have left feedback but have left high ratings. These reviews were from people who have been to Anamanaguchi's concerts.
