But if you still want to try, go nuts and create a demo tape and send it to the major record publishers. I'll give you the link for Avex for starters. The most popular publisher in Japan. They will contact you if you think you are good or they'll just chuck your tape in the bin and won't bother notifying you about it. They don't notify failed applicants.

No there isn't a English version of the page.
Just to get you prepared, they receive about 40,000 of these entries a year so you better be pretty bloody good.
You could also try other publishers like Toshiba EMI, Sony EPIC, Sony Music Group and heaps of others. Anyway good luck. |
i know koreans also go to japan and start music careers there also.
