Tokyo Records

Tokyo Records (東京レコード) is a Japanese record label. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the label is owned by Hitoshi Kobayashi (小林斉). It operates as an independent-style Japanese label rather than a major corporate group, and its roster is built around club-music DJs and producers alongside rock and pop acts. The label's artist roster includes DJ/producers EMMA, MURO, DJ NORI, DJ WATARAI and HAZIME; singer-songwriter Little Black Dress; Akitsugu Narita (成田昭次), former member of the boy band Otokogumi and now a singer-songwriter and guitarist; the band NARITA THOMAS SIMPSON; the band Rockon Social Club; and the chorus group QUMANOMI. This mix of club culture veterans and rock/pop performers reflects the label's positioning at the intersection of Japanese DJ culture and live rock entertainment. Tokyo Records maintains an official website at tokyorecords.com, which publishes news and information about its artists' releases, tours and merchandise. Recent site news has centred on Rockon Social Club, including the "RSC Tour 2026 WARRIORS" and performances at Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater, along with ticket and merchandise announcements. The label therefore functions both as a recorded-music imprint and as a live/touring operation for its flagship acts. As of the available evidence, Tokyo Records is a privately held Japanese label with no disclosed parent company or stock listing. Its identity is closely tied to its owner and to the artists it represents, particularly Rockon Social Club and Akitsugu Narita.

Tokyo Records (東京レコード) is a Japanese record label. The available evidence identifies it as a Japanese record label owned by Hitoshi Kobayashi (小林斉), as recorded in the Japanese Wikipedia article on the label. The label's public identity is built around its owner and its artist roster rather than around a large corporate group. The roster documented in Japanese Wikipedia spans several strands of Japanese music. On the club/DJ side, the label represents DJ/producers EMMA, MURO, DJ NORI, DJ WATARAI and HAZIME. On the singer-songwriter and rock side, it represents Little Black Dress, Akitsugu Narita (成田昭次, a former member of Otokogumi who works as a singer-songwriter and guitarist), the band NARITA THOMAS SIMPSON, the band Rockon Social Club, and the chorus group QUMANOMI. This combination places the label at the meeting point of Japanese club culture and rock/pop performance. In the period covered by the official website's news feed, the label's public activity is dominated by Rockon Social Club. The site lists announcements for the "RSC Tour 2026 WARRIORS," including performances at Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater and Zepp Namba, along with same-day ticket information, new merchandise, and merchandise sales reception for an access tour tied to the Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater performance. The label also posts venue pickup and advance-notice items, such as the "Teruteru Shoji" notice. This shows Tokyo Records operating not only as a recorded-music imprint but also as a live-touring and merchandise operation for its flagship acts. The evidence does not disclose a founding year, a parent company, a stock listing, or a detailed corporate history. Tokyo Records should therefore be understood as a privately held Japanese label whose identity is closely tied to its owner, Hitoshi Kobayashi, and to its roster, particularly Rockon Social Club and Akitsugu Narita.
