About Us
Far Side Music Ltd. was started by Paul Fisher while living in Japan in 1991. He originally intended to stay for six months, but ended up staying for over 11 years, moving back to the UK in 2001. Paul worked in several areas of the music business in the UK, from A&R for record and management companies to distribution and owning a record shop. After re-locating to Japan Paul wrote a few articles for the British magazine 'fRoots' on Japanese and Okinawan music, and after realizing there was no outlet for this 'undiscovered' music, decided to start selling it himself.
In addition to internet and mail order CD sales, Far Side Music Ltd now manages internationally several Japanese and Asian artists, promoting their music overseas, by arranging record releases, festival appearances and tours. Our artists have performed at some of the world's most prestigious festivals including various WOMADs, TFF Rudolstadt Germany, and other renowned festivals and venues from Africa to Asia to Australia. In 2006 we are booking several artists to perform at the prestigious City of London festival.
We also license, export and promote other 'world music' into Japan and other Asian countries, working with independent and major Japanese companies, a major retailer and at the same time representing several European record companies in Japan.
