Midi Creative

Midi Creative (commonly styled MIDI INC.) is a Japanese record company based in Tokyo, established in 1984. It operates as an independent label and music company, handling releases, artist management, and music video distribution for a roster that spans alternative rock, electronic, experimental, and singer-songwriter genres. Its official site describes it simply as a "record company in Tokyo established in 1984," and Wikidata classifies it as a Japanese record label. The label's catalogue includes releases by Sunny Day Service (including 30th-anniversary deluxe editions and 2026 remasters), Ryuichi Sakamoto (including "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" and "G.T."), world's end girlfriend, XOXO EXTREME, 松江潤 (Jun Matsue), ははの気まぐれ, Quyech, Little Creatures, 友部正人, 寺尾紗穂, ザ・ノックダウンズ, and many others. The breadth of the roster — from J-pop and rock to Vietnamese-language releases by Quyech and experimental acts like Acid Eater and MASONNA — reflects a curatorial identity rooted in independent and alternative music. Midi Creative also produces and distributes music videos through its official channels, with a substantial video catalogue featuring artists such as ゆらゆら帝国 (Yura Yura Teikoku), サニーデイ・サービス, 竹内亜紗子, and LITTLE CREATURES. The company's activities encompass physical and digital releases, remastering projects, and promotional video content. As of the available evidence, Midi Creative remains an active independent Japanese record company. Ownership structure, executive leadership, and financial details are not disclosed in the supplied sources.
