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 by [[Kazuhiro Kato]]. Originally a printer company under the name ''QUAKE INC.'', Kato later changed into a record company following his winning money on the 2001-2004 Nippon TV show ''Money no tora'' (マネーの虎), notably the first Japanese TV program revolved around business investment. It later changed its name to ''QUAKE RECORDS'', and then ''QUAKE HOLDINGS''. After merging with Pony Canyon in 2009, the company adapted its current EXIT TUNES name in 2011. | 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 by [[Kazuhiro Kato]].
