J-rock North Promotions Inc. has been actively promoting Japanese
music in Toronto since its birth in 2005. Our aim is to bring together local artists and musicians,
as well as foreign artists and musicians, to promote Japanese music in Canada as well as across
North America. We also actively support bands in the indie music scene (including oshare and visual
kei, electronica and more) who are seeking to broaden their exposure in North America. Overall, we
strive to bridge the gap between the artists and the Japanese music fan community, in order to
emphasize the value of cultural diversity and communication.
JNP bridges that gap in several ways: by organizing concerts, both
large-scale stage shows as well as small-scale intimate lives; interactive meet-and-greet sessions
between the artists and their fans; as well as community events (eg. conventions, dances, parties,
movie screenings, etc.) that encourage fans, especially local youth, to come together and celebrate
their interests and their diversity. The majority of our events are based in Toronto and the
surrounding communities, where there is a need for more activities for fans to explore this unique
subculture in a safe and positive environment.
Given that, our overriding objective is to provide leadership and
positive vision to people who attend our events. One of our core principles is to raise awareness of
and gather support for those who are less fortunate, by incorporating charity fundraising into all of
our events. We support smaller local charities and encourage all who attend our events to do the same.
We also encourage youth to volunteer at our events, where they can develop their leadership and
interpersonal skills. We believe that entertainment should also have a social conscience.
JNP is committed to excellence in the planning and execution of all our
events,and so we can also offer our services as an independent consulting group to assist other
organizations and individuals in organizing such events. Our experience as well as our passion for
Japanese music and pop culture has provided us with essential skills and tools that would be
beneficial to those interested in this variety of cultural programming. We would love to work with
others who share our vision, so feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
