We started this label called "POPBALL RECORDS" in1996. First we released a comp
called "POPBALL SHOWCASE", and it showed clearly the goodness & good quality of
Japanese pop punk rock bands!!
We love cacthy & pop punk bands with R&R attitude, and we are gonna support such
bands ever!
Our respectable labels are; 1+2(Japan), NO TOMORROW(Spain), SCREAMING APPLE
(Germany), the early days LOOKOUT!(USA) etc. And someday we will be at the same
level as them!!
Basically we release Japanese band's stuffs, but sometimes we do for overseas'.
