Japanese Website

Not many indie artists or record labels can afford to have a physical presence or office in Japan to promote their music, so a Japanese website and online presence is essential in reaching one of the largest music markets in the world.

Over 80% of digital music in Japan is accessed via mobile phones. QR Codes help connect the millions of Japanese mobile users to your website, music, videos, news, tour info, and merch.

Give Japanese music fans, media and industry people one convenient place where they can learn about you, listen to your music, watch your videos, buy your music and merch, and connect with you on their favorite devices in their own language. Create a FREE Japanese website to help promote your music in Japan.

It is essential to have a Japanese website. This is where Japanese consumers, media and industry people will be directed to from search engines (i.e. Google Japan and AI) and advertising/publicity. Distributors, shops, artist managers, press, music directors, concert promoters, social media influencers, and most importantly, Japanese music fans will use and appreciate it.
