Japan Music Marketing Resources for independent record labels, bands and artists
Live House Links
The websites are mostly in Japanese but you can click on the links and navigate the live house websites which have photos, contact information and sometimes English info.
Live shows are the best way to promote your music in Japan. Concentrate on Tokyo and Osaka, but if you have a JR Rail Pass (and not much carry-on) it is easy to get to other places like Nagoya, Sendai, Fukushima, etc. in less than 3 hours. The more exposure, the better for creating your Japanese fan base.
