These are people working hard to promote themselves with little or no music label support and rarely any commercial radio airplay. We intend to give these artists a voice and place to introduce themselves and their music. In doing so we will provide you the listener and viewer information about shows, artists and new music in English and Japanese. We believe music to be one of the few mediums that can connect people all over the world. With this site we hope to strengthen that connection.
