Music: Lifesound + Sweet Soul Records
Sweet Soul Records
Sweet Soul Records is group of multicultural, multilingual professionals who are passionate about Soul music, along with other related genres such as Jazz, R&B, Funk, Hip-Hop and Gospel. We are focused on creating our own brand of Soul music, and at the same time promoting international artists who we feel share the same passion as we do for "real music".
By using the internet as a core medium, we are be able to promote our own record label and international artist not only in Japan but worldwide. We create high-quality media and make use of our own recording and photography studios, while pooling our resources such as Soul bars, CD shops, radio stations, record labels, and our other contacts in the music industry.

That means we are actively involved in the process of getting your releases into stores nationwide. This allows us to put more effort into finding new talent, either here in Japan or internationally, who we feel can help us promote Soul music here in Japan.
