TJ Media

Background
TJ Media, formerly known as Taijin Media, is a South Korean manufacturer of karaoke machines and bundled content with central operations in Korea and the Philippines.

Logo (1990s)


Logo: Over a white background we see a red glossy oval with the word "TAIJIN" in front, below there's another oval in a shadow-like context with the cursive "media" spread out. The logo fades slowly and stays onscreen for a few seconds before fading out.

FX/SFX: The logo just fades in and out.

Music/Sounds: A harp arpeggio segueing into a bombastic horn fanfare, later a brief flute glissando and a synthesized upbeat theme with timpanis plays. Then more horn notes with a crash, with a male choir singing "Taijin Media!", and a gong note and a female voice is heard at the end.

Availability: Rare. Seen when a Taijin branded karaoke machine is turned on.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (2002-2010)
Logo: Over a dark, orange-glowing background, multiple orange circular borders are shown rotating and zooming out from the camera, these are revealed to be pieces of an optical disc and a tray as two darker circular elements zoom out. A sphere shoots into the hole of the disc tray, as small-sized trails briefly appear behind it and connect in the center, flashing into the yellow "tj media", with the "tj" stylized in a circular logo fashion. The 3D elements then fade out to a white background, and the logo turns into plain black/orange.

FX/SFX: Decent CGI.

Music/Sounds: A string keyboard theme at the beginning, with a flute motif while the disc tray is revealed, a shining swoosh when the sphere shoots in, and an ethereal note at the end, with the male announcer saying "TJ Media".

Music/Sounds Variant: There is a high-tone version shown in Philippine TJ karaoke machines.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on earlier TJ-branded karaoke machines from the Philippines and Korea.

Editor's Note: None.
