Budo Grape Otonatachi x Kodomotachi Budo Grape makes their USA debut at A-Kon 19 this month in Dallas, TX! This album is a great example of their Nagoya-pop style, and has one of my favorite tracks: "Watashi wa no Message."
Chris started JPOPUSA around the crazy idea that anime conventions would
provide an excellent introduction for the Japanese music industry to the
growing interest in Japanese pop culture. He was the first to bring major
Japanese labels to anime conventions and has since brought some of the biggest
names in the Japanese music industry to perform concerts at anime conventions
around the USA - including Koda Kumi, Duel Jewel, T.M. Revolution, and ketchup mania.
JPOP USA’s primary objective is to work as a multimedia liaison to facilitate
Japanese musical artists and Japanese musical companies working in the USA.
Past project have involved concerts, CD releases, TV shows. magazine and
newspaper articles, online marketing, TV advertising, artist relations, label
negotiations and various promotions.
