Who we are

OngakuSHOCK☆ specialises in promoting Japanese rock music in the United Kingdom.

Our Aim for J-Bands
We aim to bring awareness to bands wanting to play here in the UK or are playing here in the UK, from helping with simple promotional ideas to fully booking, confirming promoting and setting up the shows, we aim to make the transition from Japan to England less daunting on the bands themselves, and a much easier and enjoyable experience for everybody to have, so that they may come back and play here in the future. #

Our aim for you, The fans.
Yes, we have a great deal of interested about all of you out there known collectivly as ‘the fans’! You are the biggest part of any promoters job and of and Bands job too, without you bands simply wouldn’t make it here at all so with your constant support, views and opinions you are the biggest and best promotional tool going to date!

We here at OngakuSHOCK☆ Strive to meet ‘The Fans’ needs and requests as much as humanly possible, We want you to have the contact with the band you desire so much, being able to ask them questions and be able to give them gifts, even get the chance of meeting them face to face. We have worked with plenty of bands to know each and every one of them care about their fans a great deal, so we naturally care about you all to! WE aim to provide you with information we think you should know about what’s going on in the music world as well as giving you chances to win signed goodies from the bands we work closely with and offering you chances to enter questions in to our interviews to get them answered.

We value every member of the j-music community and believe that we should all value each other greatly, all fans are there at shows showing their support together for the same reason, the band on stage; so why focus and follow differences or dislikes when you can make friends, have a fun time and enjoy the time with the band you love alongside everybody else.

we also like to hear from you, ‘The fans’. about what bands you would ;love to see come here, whether they have been here before or not, we dio try to achieve these requests, sort out tours and help in getting bands you want to have here, to pop by for a visit!

Who we work with
We work closely with UK Promoters/ Labels, and alongside European tour management providers. We have worked alongside Universal Records, Tidal Concerts, Rage Tours, Twisted Talent and many many more, and still do!

What you can do to help
The more you interact and buy in the UK; the more gigs and shows will become available to the UK  and that means you directly help us, promoters and the bands themselves. We are working on getting more available in the UK for sale, but it takes time and lots of support so please keep supporting the bands you love by buying their CD’s in the UK/EU or through places like itunes! it means much more to the bands, than anybody else!

Thank you for visiting our site, we hope to see you as part of our team and community soon!
