First Time to Introduce J-Rock to the World via USTREAM by Japanese Music Organizations
Sync Music Japan, a collaborative effort of three Japanese music organizations, will broadcast live performances via Ustream by artists such as MUCC, Girugamesh and Plastic Tree. A major project to help Japanese artists to reach out to the world is now in full gear.
Sync Music Japan, a project founded by three music organizations for the purpose of expanding the Japanese music market to a global scale, will be launching Nexus, a live music event featuring performances from sixteen Japanese artists broadcast via Ustream on MySpace, on Saturday, June 5th and Sunday, June 6th. This is the very first time for a music organization to use USTREAM to broadcast an event live. SYNC MUSIC JAPAN will continue to encourage overseas promotion with such project to enthusiastically introduce Japanese artists to the world.

The Sync Music Japan project, organized by the Council of Music Associations Japan (consisting of Japan Association of Music Enterprises, Music Publishers Association of Japan and the Federation of Music Producers Japan), was started on March 26th for the purpose of expanding the Japanese music market to a global scale. Through the project's page on social network service MySpace, approximately three hundred Japanese artists have been promoted worldwide thus far. The upcoming live broadcasts are another facet of the project's goal of introducing the world to Japanese music.
