History
Realize Records (株式会社リアライズレコード) is a Japanese company whose main business is the sale of CDs. It was established in 2004. The label built its catalog around anime songs and voice-actor music, and it developed links with other companies such as AG-ONE. Its releases are handled as independent (indies) titles by Oricon and Amazon. Its best-known artist, the singer and voice actor Naozumi Takahashi, has been with the label since 2004. Over the following years the roster also included Tag (2005–2009), conomi (2006–2007), AKiKA (2005), Machiko Toyoshima (2006), and Swamp Delta Rockcafe' (2009). In November 2007, Toshiki Ota, a director of Dwango, held all shares of Realize Records Co., Ltd., and Naozumi Takahashi, the label's main artist, signed a management contract with Dwango Planning and Development Co., Ltd.
