In 2010, Tugboat Records launched in Japan. As a licensed partner of musicians and labels from all over the world, we have released more than 50 music titles.

With our extensive knowledge and experience, we can develop localized and culturally appropriate marketing strategies. As a result, we are able to successfully introduce unique music products into the Japanese marketplace, taking into consideration the individuality of each artist and label.

In 2021, we launched TORNADO BUSINESS Publicity which supports startups and entrepreneurs who are seeking opportunities in Japan. 

Japan is very attractive for business but also very unique. Our knowledgeable staff will ensure that your project is properly localized. With our experience and understanding of market characteristics, we are confident we can help our current and future clients succeed.
