The big band sounds of Asakusa Jinta, the traditional shamisen fusions of Yoshida Brothers, and all-girl pop line-up Pistol Valve are rocking audiences around the world. Plus, were exploring the streets and neighborhoods of Tokyo and the new wave of fusion bands who make up the club scene there. Omodaka are producing traditonal Japanese music with a modern twist, and the extreme fishing trio Gyoko mix their musical prowess and with culinary delights of sushi.

SXSW '09 is just over, and over fifteen thousand people came to this huge music event to discover new talents or to have some crazy parties!
Japan Nite started in 1996, and many Japanese bands have played there including Puffy, Oreska Band, ELLEGARDEN and so on.
With this as a start, some bands grabbed their chances to debut in the U.S, and achieved big success. Bands found their ways to burst onto the music scene in the US.
It may not be too much to say that Japan Nite has been the gateway to success for Japanese bands.
And as all of you seeing our website know, we, Daruma Label, released the US debut album for one of the bands performing at Japan Nite this year. We are now so exciting to receive feedbacks from you guys!
We will update photos soon!
