In Avex, it all began from the dance music my friend suggested me tolisten to one day during university.
I still vividly remember how shocked I felt to know such music existed at the time as I mainly listened to rock and pop music.

In 1988, Avex began as a wholesale business of imported music records. Until now, we have been expanding businesses into various areas such as record labels, live music performances, animation, and filmmaking. Nonetheless, they all trace back to the desire of simply bringing excitement and surprises to audiences through entertainment, just as I felt as a university student.

Despite the arrival of Web 3.0, our fundamental motivation never deviates even to this day. We will uncover new entertainment possibilities, create countless moving works and talents, and continue to bring excitement to the world.
