Japanese Website (Web Page)

Once you start trying to sell music, you become a "business". Not many artists or record labels can afford to have a physical shop or office in Japan to conduct business, so your Japanese website is essential in reaching one of the largest music markets in the world.

Over 80% of digital music in Japan is accessed via mobile phones. QR Codes help connect the millions of Japanese mobile users to your website, music, videos, news, tour info, and merch.

Create a free Japanese web page

Give Japanese music fans, media and industry people one convenient place where they can learn about you, listen to your music, watch your videos, buy your music and merch, and connect with you on their favorite devices in their own language. Create a FREE Japanese web page to help market your music in Japan.

It is essential to have a Japanese web page. This is where Japanese consumers, media and industry people will be directed to from search engines (i.e. Google Japan) and advertising/publicity. Distributors, shops, artist managers, press, music directors, concert promoters, social media influencers, and most importantly, Japanese music fans will use and appreciate it.

You can easily set up a Japanese web page (with QR code) at Top Music Japan. For more info and eamples, see Top Music Japan.


About Mobile Sites, QR Codes and Music Promotion

In Japan, where mobile devices are used more often to discover, buy, and listen to music than computers, having a mobile-friendly website is the norm for indie and major label artists.

A sample QR Code. This one has our URL in it.

QR Codes are square barcodes (QR stands for Quick Response) which when scanned by a mobile phone camera can open your website, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube, or other URL. Many print ads, magazines, websites, packaging, flyers, billboards, signs, business cards, t-shirts, posters, and even the sides of buses and buildings have a QR Code on them.
