EXIT TUNES: Difference between revisions

EXIT TUNES (spelled on its official website as '''exit tunes''', and also referred to on the occasion as ''EXIT TUNES INC.'', and in Japanese as ''エグジットチューンズ株式会社'') is a Japanese music label that was founded in 2001. It was originally a printer company under the name ''QUAKE INC.'', but a became a record company in 2003 as ''QUAKE RECORDS'', then ''QUAKE HOLDINGS''. After merging with Pony Canyon in 2009, the company adapted its current EXIT TUNES name in 2011.

Many musicians in BEMANI have had their CDs released through EXIT TUNES, and KONAMI often licenses them for their BEMANI series, most notably REFLEC BEAT, SOUND VOLTEX, and recently beatmania IIDX, too. Notable artists include [[Kazuhiro Kato|DJ UTO]], [[Ryutaro Nakahara|Ryu☆]] (seven albums, and also serves as a music executive in the company), [[Yusuke Ceo|Starving Trancer]], [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]], [[Last Note.]], [[CosMoBousouP|cosMo@暴走P]], and vocalists [[Matsushita]] & [[Mayumi Morinaga]]. In addition, many of the VOCALOID songs in BEMANI are licenses from various other EXIT TUNES artists.

On April 22nd, 2016, Ryu☆ announced the formation of a brand new, BEMANI-affiliated label named ''EXITTUNES Dance Production'' (abbreviated as EDP) focusing on, but not limited to, electronic dance music. Many of the artists involved with the label are ones that have notable presence in the current BEMANI ecosystem. The label has published several albums and is also home to the ''ravemania'' series, Ryu☆'s own modern take on the Dancemania series.
