About Me



The Onpa is so wide we can´t even describe it!

...but its 12" vinyls are distributed worldwide by Discomania . CDs are distributed by Art Union/U-Pop Records in Japan. In case you are running into difficulties when trying to acquire silverlings outside Japan you may send a request-email via the link at the bottom of its website. Jean-Michel´s current album - "The Audience Is Missing" - is handled by Rough Trade . Sorry, but the music Onpa releases on CD seems to be too unique for most sales-people outside of Japan...
