Tokyo No Records

About Me

Tokyo No Records is an independent Philadelphia-based record label dedicated to promoting modern Japanese throwback bands in the form of domestic CD releases and tours. I look towards the future while preserving the past...but its all rock and roll to me.
Tokyo No Radio was/is a North American distro dedicated to modern Japanese music. Not much time for that anymore though...
