This exists because of people like you.
Tokyo Noizu is an independent music publication dedicated to Japanese Rock, Metal, Alternative and underground music.
For years, we've been discovering and sharing Japanese bands and artists through original interviews, music news, features, tour information, our band directory, carefully curated music selections and much more.
We do it because we love the music — and because we believe these artists deserve to be heard.
There is no big company behind Tokyo Noizu. It is funded and run independently, and the ongoing costs of keeping the site running add up.
That's where the Tokyo Noizu community makes a difference. The people who read, share, listen and support what we do are what make it possible for Tokyo Noizu to keep discovering, covering and sharing Japanese music around the world.
