Now finally, you think about "how sell your works to the Japanese market." Thanks for patiently waiting! Part1 is "what should be done is to create the opportunity to be played?"
I: First, name recognition is affecting all
But I do not think there is a story unique to the Japanese, the works of composers not known the name there is a tendency to deviate from the selection candidate. That is, it is difficult to sell if not known your name. Please try to check the following shops whether or not your work has been recorded in Japanese CD. This two stores may be searching in English because it is also shown the Japanese and English.

bandpower

Will your name was found?
II: In Japan, you are dead treats?
You might exist was known among wind music lovers. But for the rest of the Japanese, oddly enough, you may be rare misunderstanding that it is "already dead composer". Trying to tell the Japanese that you are alive. This is not the joke, trying to firmly appeal because it affects on many things. Language that the Japanese use the first Japanese, then English. For other languages, they spend a lifetime without knowing as long as they do not receive the specialized lectures at universities etc. So, use the Japanese or English, Let's make a lot of Japanese friends.
III: Aim for the Music College!
It is a music college of us interested in your even name recognition is low aggressively your work. There is a music college with a tuition of wind band, I do list up.

etc.
You can either contact the secretariat, it would be they may be in contact if there are acquaintances to instructor.
IV: Find the key person!
It is important whether you can find how much the key person who introduces the overseas work in Japanese wind band world. As the key person to have taken up the work of overseas at magazines and workshops, Yo Goto and Norio Akiyama are famous. Key person may not be Japanese. Let's look at person who is a lecturer in such as Japanese College of Music in the site of the University of the III. Especially Ray E. Cramer (Musashino Academia Musicae) and Eugene M. Corporon (Showa University of Music) who have released a CD in Japan is going to be a key person.
When you take the contact to Japanese, profile will write in detail since many Japanese tend to focus on career and title.
Next time, let's think of a way to be invited to Japan.
