What is Darkest Labyrinth?
Created by Kiwamu of BLOOD, Darkest Labyrinth is the label to which his own band belongs. He has expanded the company's operations by beginning distribution in Japan of CDs by foreign gothic, industrial, and new wave artists. Darkest Labyrinth helps such artists sell their CDs in Japan.
Distributing through Darkest Labyrinth
Darkest Labyrinth can distribute CDs through up to 4800 stores nationwide, employing the same system used to market major CDs in Japan. We can handle everything from the first CD order to next-day delivery. Thus far we have used our distribution system to successfully market products such as BLOOD's CDs and Germany's Astan Magazine, producing real results that our clients can trust.
Kiwamu's goals for Darkest Labyrinth
Thanks to our overseas fans and staff, BLOOD's activities have led the way for Japanese bands to play live shows overseas. This indicates that, rather than working solely to make money, BLOOD works hard to make great music for as many people as possible, and we are blessed to have so many people who recognize and support our efforts. I began this new task of aiding in foreign CD distribution in hopes of utilizing the experience and networks I have cultivated thus far to introduce promising foreign bands to Japanese audiences.
