In the age of non-stop advancement of technology, the jobs of a music publisher are becoming more and more complex each day. The ways to use music copyrights which were unthinkable just a year ago arise every day, and most often rules, regulations and common sense come ex post facto.
We at Taiyo Music do our best in keeping ourselves up to date with respect to new technologies and trends which affect music business. The vast network of partners and affiliates, both international and domestic, established over 40 years in the business is the best resource which makes it possible to maintain our knowledge and expertise current.
We believe that music business is still about “people”. As one of the very few independent music publishers in existence, we cater to all independently-minded clients, giving them hands-on, personal attention to their needs and expectations. At Taiyo Music, you know whom you are talking to. We feel that is important in establishing a long-lasting win-win relationship.
We are one of the pioneers in the Japanese music publishing industry and we have been displaying excellence and professionalism in every segment of the music publishing operation. Most publishers in Japan seem to balance losses from sub-publishing international catalogues with gains from representing domestic catalogues. Taiyo Music is probably the only publisher who specializes in sub-publishing international catalogues in Japan, as this has been our expertise since the company was
established in 1962.
We are not only music lovers but also passionate music messengers. We emphasize on the "quality" of our services (promotion, consulting, registration, royalty payments, marketing, etc.) rather than concentrating on a number of songs or catalogues to represent. We believe a music publisher should be a mentor to songwriters in the same way as Tats Nagashima (the founder of Taiyo Music, Inc.) was a mentor to all of our staff at Taiyo Music Inc. Knowledge and experience in the business are, without a doubt, very important factors for music publishers, however it is not good enough for Taiyo Music. It is the wisdom mixed with passion and based on knowledge and experience that makes our operation so strategic and creative.
There are thousands of music publishers around the world. You will probably be amazed at how few music publishers there are with knowledge, experience, wisdom and passion until you take a closer look. Today, there are more and more songwriters who realize how important it is to have day-to-day communication with music publishers who can provide them with intensive care.
We are proud of the kind of services we have been giving to our songwriters in the past and will continue to stay with the same policy for years to come.
