Among the top players in Japan's music and entertainment industry, Universal Music Japan stands out.

Universal Music Japan is home to the successful contemporary act Yoasobi, consisting of producer Ayase and singer Lilas Ikuta (Ikura).
Yoasobi continues to make waves in the J-pop scene, with hit singles and albums that remain among the best-selling and most streamed in Japan and internationally, particularly in South Korea. The duo is recognized as a pioneer in the J-pop scene of the 2020s and the Reiwa era.

For music-specific updates and artist information, industry news sites like Oricon and Music Business Worldwide also provide useful insights but may not offer real-time feeds with global context.
