Ambrosia Music

Singer moving to Japan???

Hello! Im an American whos been living in Berlin for about 4 years. I came here to pursue my singing career (r&b singer), and have had pretty good success. I managed to get a publishing deal with Universal Music, great radio time, live shows, ect. But now me and my girlfriend wanna try living somewhere else, and we thought about Japan, preferably Tokyo. I just wanted to ask if someone in this line of work would have any chance of legally working in Japan? Im not sure if Japanese people like r&b music, but i just wanted to know if i would have any chance working in the music buisness there as well, and if i could obtain a visa for doing things like live singing, shows or performances. anyone know?

Of course you have a chance to work in Japan in the music/entertainment business legally. The trick is to get your foot in to door. Basically, getting a visa is your first hurdle. You would have to find someone to sponsor you for you and your girlfriends visa. If you have a publishing deal with Universal Music over there, you might want to ask them if they have any contacts in Japan. Universal has a Japan branch, I assume. So, if you can get Universal Japan to sponsor you, that would be your best bet. Your only other option would be to find a club, send them a demo and ask to be a regular performer. In Japan, it is not what you know, but who you know. So I highly recommend you to use your Universal contacts to get in the door here.

Japanese youth love R&B. If you are good, they will accept you into their culture.

You could come over to Japan on a tourist visa for a few months and hit record companies with a demo tape. That would be another option.

Good luck to you.
