How do I get my music to be played in japan? I want to tour there with my band and have no idea how to break into the market.

Camden Wright

Nathan Butler

Zachary Morris
Noah Bailey

Jaxon Butler

Hudson Garcia
you killing me but yeah im familiar with the j rock sound and ours is completely different, i dont even know what to call it
Tyler Miller
You just need to get better, Tyler.
Leo Campbell
well what did you think of it at least?
David Turner
also, im not Tyler, im another member
Luke Rivera
OP, are you this guy?
Kayden Rodriguez
no he left the band
Nolan Brooks
I liked it, but to break in a foreign market it just needs to be all around better.
Jeremiah Wilson
i noticed he's not in any of the press shots on facebook or the marene site. why did he leave?
Colton Williams
If you have to ask here...
Michael Perez
he wanted to focus on his career in IT
Liam Evans
how so?
Jaxon Taylor
Living the dream.
Jose Brooks
haha, you're not relevant enough. Try harder, or give up
Colton Jenkins
Get a sax.
Cameron Wilson
I have thirty 7''records that were made in Japan and randomly spread around by this single dude/independent record lable/artist guy back in the myspace days who lived in Japan. My copies didn't arrive unfortunately, so I've scouring the internet for them to pop up, but this is ultra obscure shit I guess. There's like 30 weird Japanese dudes who collect weird vinyl and have my release sitting on a shelf.
Ian Campbell
play math rock
Leo Diaz
How about breaking into your own country's market first?
Jose Cooper
Nice blog bro
Daniel Foster
Nah that’s too hard for us
Owen Hill
Now this in an on topic answer
This guy isn't op
We are slowly, our biggest show to date has been a metal festival 2 weeks ago. I guess the best way to build a fan base would be to play those weekend festivals so we're trying to get into that, we've done one so far.
Christian Evans
that’s not a real genre lmao
Adrian Jones
>music for bug men sohiboys
I think not
Luke Wright
日本語が話せますか
Jeremiah Watson
This is half true. Play super cringe melodic metal to have a chance
Jeremiah Ramirez
私が学ぼうとしている
Isaac Parker
>わし＿は＿日本語＿を＿学ぼうとしている
でしょう?
Oliver Morris
play punk/hardcore and actually be good at it. japan's hardcore scene rules and i know a local band that played two shows there.
Henry Mitchell
japan seems to adore 00s rock and 80s metal. literally all the bands i used to listen to in 00s are all managing jrock groups now
Eli Green
youtube.com
Did it really matter being big in japan?
Cameron Edwards
Are you actually Japanese or just larping obviously I'm not fluent
Jaxson Lewis
I had this thought to but when you look at all the big current j rock / metal bands it's all modern stuff. I would love to get to levels like X Japan desu that's the dream
Justin Ward
you don't need to be big to go on a tour
Mason Howard
Funding is an issue in sure you can understand
Hunter Hernandez
you don't need to be big to go on tour and get paid enough to cover the tour.
Owen Barnes
OK so how do we do it?
Luke Ross
get a following in a niche scene and enough fans in japan to attract at least 50 people to a venue at each location.
