AWhat we do for music brands

Representation, marketing and community from one team — for hardware and software alike.

  1. 01

    Representation

    Your local face for distributors, music retailers and press — coordinating everything as your team in Japan.

  2. 02

    Marketing in Japanese

    Campaigns, content and social written for Japanese musicians and producers, not translated from the global plan.

  3. 03

    Giveaways & community

    Giveaways and community activations that get the product into Japanese musicians' hands — and talked about.

  4. 04

    Retail & distribution

    The music shops and distributors that carry your category, approached with terms that fit Japanese retail.

  5. 05

    Product localization

    Manuals, interfaces, product pages and support content in natural Japanese.

  6. 06

    We build audio too

    akioto, our own pro audio hardware brand, and the plugin software behind it — so we know the product side.
