Co-production, licensing your music, and launching your catalog in Japan.
Global music partnership
Across the sea,toward the next work.
For labels, music companies, schools and festival organizers outside Japan. We explore co-production, launching in Japan, education exchange and shared stages together, in English and Japanese.
Why Japan, why us
Music does not stop
at the border.
Japanese music and music education can grow in new directions when they meet partners abroad. Works and lessons from abroad, in turn, take on new shapes when they meet listeners and learners in Japan.
Since 1995 we have run a voice and singing school, a record label and a music production studio. We want to open that work to partners across the sea.
Works and learning grow
when they travel both ways.
How a partnership grows
From a first meeting
to a lasting relationship.

- Meet and confirmWe start by confirming goals, rights, languages and time zones.
- Create and releaseWe begin with a small pilot, then shape the work or program.
