Business Overview
The genres of 'Japanese music' played in our country today are very diverse. There are many situations in which each of them is engaged in activities that are somewhat closed and independent. However, when considering the future development of Japanese music, it is necessary not only to engage in activities in each genre but also to understand and exchange widely in each field. Based on this idea, the 'Contemporary Japanese Music Composers' League '(abbreviated as the current Bounren) was formed by volunteers who were engaged in creative activities in normal life. - Masakuni KINEYA - The Federation has been active for more than 50 years since its foundation in 1964, and aims to further foster and envision traditional Japanese music formed with a tireless creative attitude.
