RAMEN CURRY MUSIC RECORDS

RAMEN CURRY MUSIC RECORDS (often abbreviated RCMR) is a Japanese independent record label founded in May 2015 by musician Tamio Okuda. The label's name combines some of Okuda's favorite foods and things; according to the Japanese Wikipedia, the original idea involved mentaiko (spicy cod roe), but it was changed to "music" because Okuda is a musician. Okuda had reportedly been making T-shirts with an "RCM" motif even before establishing the label. The label is primarily a vehicle for Okuda's own releases and related projects. Its roster includes Okuda himself and the band Sanfujins. Releases on the label include Okuda's works from 'Aki Kore ~MTR&Y Tour 2015~' (May 11, 2016) onward, as well as material by Sanfujins. Beyond music, RCMR has issued Okuda-original hardware. In June 2018, it released the 'RCMR Rajikase SCR-OT,' a stereo mini radio-cassette recorder based on the SANSUI-branded SCR-B2 sold by Doshisha, with an OT-original exterior. In December 2018, it released the 'DP-008EX-OT,' an eight-track portable MTR born from Okuda's recording project 'Kantan Kantabile'; it retains the specs of the TASCAM DP-008EX but features a bright orange body color and the label mascot 'Hero Diggin' on its LCD screen. The label also compiled 'Radio Curry,' a TSUTAYA-limited rental CD featuring the FM802 2020 ACCESS campaign song 'Boku no BUDDY!!' (composed by Tamio Okuda, lyrics by Takashi Nagatake of Hanaregumi) along with Okuda songs selected by FM802 DJs. 'Radio Curry' is a unit consisting of iri, Tamio Okuda, TAKUMA (10-FEET), Hakai (Group Tamashii), Hanaregumi, and Tatsuya Maki (go!go!vanillas). RCMR maintains an official website at rcmr.jp and an official YouTube channel, and is active on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.
