Pacific Music Group has established its Japan branch, 'PMG Japan,' officially launching its push into the Asian music market. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Pacific Music Group focuses on discovering artists from across Asia and introducing them to the global stage.

PMG Japan plans to pursue a wide range of businesses by leveraging its local network, including artist development, recorded music, management, promotion, brand partnerships, and cross-country collaborations.

Japanese hip-hop musician JP THE WAVY has been signed as PMG Japan's first artist. JP THE WAVY is a musician making a name for himself in Japan's hip-hop scene with his trendy sound and fashion-centered visual identity.

A representative said, "JP THE WAVY joins as PMG Japan's first artist and is set to begin releasing new music through this new partnership," adding, "We plan to fully support him in opening up new opportunities not only in Japan but across Asia as well as in the U.S. and Western markets."

Meanwhile, Takeshima Tomomi and Shimada Mimi have been appointed as co-CEOs of PMG Japan. The two co-CEOs said, "The launch of PMG Japan brings together a deep local understanding of the Japanese music industry and our artists with the international perspective we have built through global music business," adding, "We hope PMG Japan will become a hub where local insight and global reach come together, based on genuine relationships in Japan."

Pacific Music Group established its Korean branch on March 15 and signed a diverse roster of artists including singers Tiffany Young, Brody, Bang Yong-guk, Bryn, and Lil Cherry. The company is also collaborating with artists from across Asia, including Thailand's PYRA, Taiwan's Nasi, and Hong Kong's Jollie Chan.

With the establishment of its Japan branch, Pacific Music Group has secured a foothold connecting major Asian music markets, including Japan. Going forward, the company plans to actively pursue overseas expansion for Asian artists and cross-country collaborations.
