Trying to prepare a free MP3 catalog file

I think that it is not the phenomenon in Japan only, now the CD does not sell well. In Japan, it has become not sell well even in the CD of Japanese composer's Works. CD that only foreign composers' works were recorded would be even more difficult to sell.

In particular, the younger generation is becoming not use the money in the music media (CD or download), it seems to look for works on YouTube. This means that it is essential that it is free. So trying to prepare a free MP3 catalog file. Trying to take advantage of in the same way as YouTube.

If one work hit it tends to be long-term seller. But so what work don't know whether to hit attempts to provide a ZIP file that includes all of your band works. There is no need to worry about whether the contents of the catalog is to match the Japanese market.

With reference to the past articles in this blog When you are ready, Tell the message of e-mail and SNS to the key person or bands. Do not forget to appeal that it is a "free download". Even Japanese who are not good at English are understood much "free download".

Let's make Japanese account of SNS or Japanese site

There are many wind bands in Japan as I wrote in the article "Scale of the market." However, language barrier is very thick. It is said about even my Japanese friends as "Seriously are you writing blog in English? Amazing!". In this way, language barrier is causing that I have written in this blog so far. However, this barrier is something like the Berlin Wall. If you or your spokesperson can use Japanese, most of problems become clear. It is the moment the wall to collapse. If you wish to more success in Japan, trying to create an environment that can be used the Japanese whether using Google translation or hire a spokesperson.

Then, trying to make a page for Japan to your own site. Facebook page also create a new page for the Japanese. Twitter account also create a Japanese-only account. After just take advantage of them for the promotion. Many Japanese to follow your Facebook page or Twitter account gladly, will visit your site. Inquiry in Japanese might increase.

I has finished writing all once that I wanted to tell to you in the article until today.I intend to provide from time to time new information about the brass band of Japan irregularly in the future. I write when it comes out to write. Contact with the message of Facebook or Twitter If you have anything you would like to know as well. And then write an article every time look about it.

How do you sell your works to the Japanese market Part1

Now finally, you think about "how sell your works to the Japanese market." Thanks for patiently waiting! Part1 is "what should be done is to create the opportunity to be played?"


I: First, name recognition is affecting all

But I do not think there is a story unique to the Japanese, the works of composers not known the name there is a tendency to deviate from the selection candidate. That is, it is difficult to sell if not known your name. Please try to check the following shops whether or not your work has been recorded in Japanese CD. This two stores may be searching in English because it is also shown the Japanese and English.

 http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/bandpower/

Will your name was found?


II: In Japan, you are dead treats?

You might exist was known among wind music lovers. But for the rest of the Japanese, oddly enough, you may be rare misunderstanding that it is "already dead composer". Trying to tell the Japanese that you are alive. This is not the joke, trying to firmly appeal because it affects on many things. Language that the Japanese use the first Japanese, then English. For other languages, they spend a lifetime without knowing as long as they do not receive the specialized lectures at universities etc. So, use the Japanese or English, Let's make a lot of Japanese friends.


III: Aim for the Music College!

It is a music college of us interested in your even name recognition is low aggressively your work. There is a music college with a tuition of wind band, I do list up.

 Tokyo University of the Arts (http://www.geidai.ac.jp/english/)
 Showa University of Music (http://www.tosei-showa-music.ac.jp/english/index.html)

 Heisei College of Music (http://www.heisei-music.ac.jp/)
 etc.

You can either contact the secretariat, it would be they may be in contact if there are acquaintances to instructor.


IV: Find the key person!

It is important whether you can find how much the key person who introduces the overseas work in Japanese wind band world. As the key person to have taken up the work of overseas at magazines and workshops, Yo Goto and Norio Akiyama are famous. Key person may not be Japanese. Let's look at person who is a lecturer in such as Japanese College of Music in the site of the University of the III. Especially Ray E. Cramer (Musashino Academia Musicae) and Eugene M. Corporon (Showa University of Music) who have released a CD in Japan is going to be a key person.


When you take the contact to Japanese, profile will write in detail since many Japanese tend to focus on career and title.

Next time, let's think of a way to be invited to Japan.

About rental: There is no direct orders from Japan to your self-publishing

Rental is often as a sales method of music sheet in Japan, but it is difficult to hire from abroad for many Japanese. (It seems not too difficult for the professional bands and music college band). For mainly amateur band, there is a wall of language, they might feel uneasy. There is also a possibility that they're unable to accurately understand the rental conditions.

Has carried out a publication on your own, you really want a success in Japan, trying to make whether Japanese corporation or find Japanese agency. In particular, in the case of rental, it is better to think that there is no direct orders from Japan to your selg-publishing.

Actually publishers have been successful with the Japanese agency would Osti Music (John Mackey). Japanese agency is BRAIN MUSIC. BRAIN MUSIC is publisher that also performs recordings, CD production and DVD production. Their number of rental musical score is probably the most common in Japan. But even McKee, is not have BRAIN MUSIC make CD of his works for the Japanese market. Do carefully the selection of the agency and negotiation with them. Don't be impatient. It still seems to me to do the large agency of rental music in Japanese publisher is BRAIN MUSIC. There is the value of the consideration.

BRAIN MUSIC's English page >> (http://www.brain-music.com/en/index.html)
*It seems the update is stopped.

Besides, there are some Japanese publishers are doing agency of the overseas publisher like "Winds Score" (agency of Metropolis Music) , "Foster Music" (agency of Baton Music)  etc. In a retail store, "Musicstore.JP" is the agency of Storm Works.

It would be also good to consult with a number of Japanese publishers they are dealing with rental scores of Japanese composer. For example, "CAFUA Records" and "Teeda Publishing" seems to have stretched the performance in the rental score.

I think that retailers and publishers who deal if "sell" scores often. In addition to the above-mentioned company, such as "Rocket music" and "Music Eight" are dealing also aggressively "sell" scores overseas.

However, in either case the sell or rental, the Japanese agency is just a distribution outlet in Japan. You can not be expected as the promoter. Promotion on your own is a must as I said in the previous article. It is important to find a publisher that can be agreed on satisfactory terms without hurry.

Or, if Japanese customer can order from your site, also it might be better to make a Japanese page. However in that case, eventually Japanese customer may need to communicate with a language other than Japanese. You must be careful so that there are no misunderstandings and lack of understanding.

Who is promote your works?

In Japan, because there is only a handful of professional wind band, if you want to succeed, it is essential to promote to amateur band.

Who is promote your works in Japan? Mainly magazines, retail stores, news sites and leaders (contains advisers, instructors). News site is equal to the almost non-existent. Also other media, it is not much to actively promote the work of overseas. Because resources for the promotion is poured into the domestic goods. Most expected to be would be leaders that has attracted the information little by little from such media. It has a little with the influential retailers are dealing overseas products to the main.

Amateur bands of Japan do not have enough to time and money. Professional bands also are struggling to attract customers.  As a result, it is biased to Japanese works and classic works that is easily attract customers or is easily to get scores. But even in the overseas work, if it is played in the All-Japan Band Competition, the next few years there is a tendency that many bands to play. And there are also bands to take up works that new and not so much playing dare.

Anyway, because such a situation, it is essential to carry out a promotion on your own. It is a good idea to become friends with Japanese composers and leaders who are familiar with the site of Japanese amateur bands. Trying to share the information and to interact with them.

Because many of the Japanese is not good at English, try to create a Facebook page or You Tube channel for promotion to upload video and audio. I also introducing the You Tube videos of favorite works from the new works of overseas almost daily in my other blog that is for the Japanese. Such a person would have to the other. Trying to promote the new video and sound also use Twitter as well as Facebook.

Japanese composer boom and Competition

Wind band world of Japan, with the exception of the professional band, All Japan Band Competition has become a core. For many amateur bands, the maximum of the goals of the annual is to compete in the National of All Japan Band Competition, and publishers make catalog CDs to propose works they having as "best in All Japan Band Competition" and some maker provide DVD of "analysis of a set piece". Works that have been played in the National of All Japan Band Competition and works which the band has been playing took the excellence award at the district tournament, then, easy to fix as repertoire. Composers want to be played their own works in a variety of concerts not only the competition, it is important to be known their name through this competiton for that.

Already more than 10 years, in Japan it is followed by a "Japanese composer boom". In the past, the wind band works by Japanese composer was few, about 20 years ago, the concert event with a collection of Japanese wind band works was held, with a fire in the boom. The boom turned into a "bubble" then. Many publishers are riding the boom, publishing the works of many of the Japanese composer and create catalog CDs, is one of the factors. But, not only that. Let's listed because There are other several factors.


I. Playing time and the instrumantation has been made aware of the contest:
All Japan Band Competition prescribed playing time is 12 minutes. Since the set piece is about 3'30" every year, it's time to 7'30" is given to the free program. Japanese composer to write a work of length to fall within the time commissioned from the band, and it is possible to write a work that was conscious of Japanese bands' instrumentation. Those works are easily published.
In addition also a characteristic that configuration of the work is often easy to understand for Japanese. When listening to the competition, there is a case where works with the same kind of atmosphere "melodious" and "dramatic" are endlessly played. Conclusion of the work ends up loudly sounded in the tutti. If the band want to play the work of more than 8 minutes, but must be "cut" the work to fit the provisions, contact is easy on the license of the cut if the Japanese composer about it.

II. Works which is recorded in the domestic new album CD affects to selection:
There are some shops dealing with CD overseas. But, domestic new album is a priority in most of the shops. Domestic new album is often includes Japanese work or already established overseas repertoire. Previously, a CD that introduce mainly the new work of overseas, named "New Wind repertoire" had been released every year, now this series has stopped.

III. Easy to each other contact:
This is a natural advantage as a domestic composer. Because most of the Japanese is not good at language other than Japanese. There is also that Japanese composer coaches a lot of band as a instructor or the seminar lecturer. So they have a strong connection to the band and "Komon", it is easy to promote own works, there may be factors such as likely to be picked by the connection. Commissioned for the competition would also be many.


I do not want you to misunderstand, I do not want you to write a work that were aware of the Japanese competition in order to be successful in Japan. Such work is a no longer needed. I do not want to listen to. So, you can coache and instruction, but can not use Japanese, there is no connection, how should you do? Let's think after the next time.

The current state of Japanese school band

But also wrote yesterday, Japanese school band is the extracurricular activities rather than in the classroom. They received a lecture from morning to evening, and practice early in the morning before the class begins and after school. Band of private school can practice until late at night, but the band of the public schools there is a limit to the activity time. Because only on weekdays not enough time, there is also a band practice even on the day school holidays. In other words, they are very busy.

In Japanese extracurricular activities there is a teacher called "Komon", this is like "adviser" + "adminstrator". "Komon" is often not a music professional teachers. And because their core business is absolutely certain in the teacher, it must be carried out also preparation of lecture, lectures each is responsible and office work. In other words, the "Komon" is more busy. How much to say Japanese people that it is a workaholic, they are required extraordinary toughness both physically and mentally. Therefore in recent busyness of teachers it has become a social problem.

Under such circumstances, the "Komon" does not have enough to time to listen to domestic and international work of the vast number. As a result, whatever the concert event to competition, Program is selected from works who have heard in the past.

In addition, in the case that let students select programs due to Komon is too busy, it seems there is a tendency to select the work of the Japanese composer. Students have less knowledge of the work, and because the do not even have enough money to buy the CD, look for the work on YouTube. Because they are not able to search for composers and works that do not know, search is biased to the Japanese composer's name or works who know the name. From such circumstances, it is less likely born opportunity to play the work overseas.

Also, the decrease in the number of member due to the declining birthrate have influence on their selection. Recently works with large instrumantation are difficult to play, "flex" is popular. Of course, there is also a scale of band that can play works with large instrumantation, but would not be a majority.

It's also such a situation in the background, which came to be a lot playing the works of Japanese composer than the overseas work, but let's dig a little more information from the next time.

Scale of the market


Before considering how do you sell your works in Japan, today I write about scale of the Japanese wind band market.

But to post at a later date, Japanese wind band world is not too much to say that revolves around the "All Japan Band Competition" that is competition of amateur bands. In order to compete in the All Japan Band Competition, it is necessary to join the All Japan Band Association. The number of bands that are subscribed to the All Japan Band Association is following.(date of November 2014, due to the announcement of All Japan Band Association)

Elementary school Band: 1,145
Junior high school Band: 7,214
High school Band: 3,823
University Band: 313
Company Band: 80
Community Band: 1,666
Total: 14,241

Active duty wind band population in Japan is said to be more than 1 million. Although it becomes average to about 70 people of calculation per one band, can not grasp the exact number because some bands that are not a member of the All Japan Band Association. There is a difference between the number of members, a variety from a few people of the band until the band that more than 100 people. But also to post at a later date too, up to elementary school - high school decrease in the number of team members due to the declining birth rate is seen. To play the music of a large instrumentation is becoming more difficult every year.

The next post, I plan to write about their annual schedule.
