/r/TokyoMusicians
Welcome! This sub is for anyone looking for, or networking with musicians of all backgrounds in Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures.
Post requests for band members, gear, meetups, your live shows or anything related to your experience making music in Japan.
/r/tokyomusicians is a subreddit to post and meet like-minded musicians in the Tokyo area.
Craigslist is a cesspit of broken promises by people who are very keen to start bands, then never turning up. This community will be the opposite - we are lovers of tinitus!
It helps to include some, if not all of the following in your post:
* POST TITLE: (Location) [TYPE OF MEMBER] needed for [GENRE] band [OTHER INFO]
* Your age/sex (some people are particular about this, which is weird)
* Your main instrument
* If you play other instruments, sing, write songs, arrange or produce
* What the max. distance you're willing to travel to rehearse
* If you can contribute to rehearsal costs (these vary wildly across the city, so it helps to budget and say what you can afford)
* If you have transport for rehearsals, gear and live shows
* What your nearest station is
* Your influences
* Your previous band experiences (good and bad)
* MORE TO BE ADDED AS I THINK OF THEM

One of their songs have gotten popular recently because of r/lostwave. I talked to the guy who made all the music and he's like a really nice guy. Here's some of his music and make sure y'all promote this to more people to get this guy to start keeping up his great work.

Hello! Moved to Tokyo around 4 months ago, looking to meet more musicians and start gigging (or jamming) in the style of Jazz Fusion Casiopea/T-Square/City-pop!
Ideal instrumentation:
1-2 Electric Guitars (I play lead, so another lead player would be great too)
Piano/synth Bass Drums Alto Sax (optional)
If you’re interested shoot me a DM!
Long story short, I worked on Hiko to solve an identified issue : the distance between content creators and their audience. The app is a combination of music, podcast, radio and livestream and we want to continue providing quality music content.
Have a look at the music we propose, pop on 38.9, electro on 55.7, lofi on 21.8 and more....
If you are interested for a partnership you can DM me here or contact us : contact@hikoapp.com

Hey all!
Tokyo based director and photographer here hoping to meet local artists that might be in interested in shooting something together. I've been wanting to do more music work for a while and haven't had the opportunity to work with new artists since I moved from NYC.
Mainly interested in music videos but if anyone is looking for photos or even social content I'd love to know! At the very least, excited to find and listen to new music so please feel free to reach out!
Hey there!
I'm looking for bookers to find gigs in Japan in April 2024. I'm a DJ and play different styles of electronic music (and have recently started experimental with regional sounds in EDM)
Here's my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/shreya-kasireddi
Does anyone know anyone (who might know anyone?) 👀
Happy Holidays! 🤩

Hi
My former bandmate (a seasoned Japanese drummer) and I (vocals) are looking to form a new Deep Purple tribute band in Tokyo. We're still looking to fill the guitar, bass, and keyboard positions.
We used to cover Deep Purple Mark II and III materials and did a live show 4 years ago.

I also have another Rainbow tirbute project needing a keyboardist, so please send me a DM if you're interested.
Rock on \m/
I’m a professional music producer looking for a small studio space to rent in Tokyo where I can make music
are there any facilities that are like this?
I would bring my own equipment just need a table and a relatively soundproof room.
preferably monthly rental basis but annual could be OK too, any neighbourhood is fine with me.
Hello folks, I thought I'd post some info about my show coming up this Sunday at What the Dickens in Ebisu. My event "Progmatik" features progressive rock and metal bands from Tokyo and I'm hoping to meet more folks that are into this type of music.
PROGMATIK Volume 2! A night of all original music from melodic hardcore group Tibetan Sky and progressive metal outfit Izmatik. Energize an otherwise sleepy Sunday with us!
