Building Bridges With Music, Virtually
Whether the performance is an in person live show or done via live stream, without question KMC events help to bridge the gap between cultures.

KMC sponsored performances and events are not only a chance for musicians to network and perform in front of a global audience, but they're also an opportunity for music fans of all types to discover new music and get an up-close view of the unique music culture in Japan.
