Amuse USA’s mission is to build business opportunities worldwide, to enhance global name recognition of artists under its management, and to maximize investment efficiency. Our main businesses consist of Financing and Development of TV series, films and musicals, Music Artist & Talent Management, A&R, and Event Planning and Production Coordination. Our film/TV department actively develops and finances projects in Hollywood. In 2014, we invested in the TV series The Pinkertons, with the show airing in the US, Canada, Japan, and the UK. In 2016, we successfully launched J-CREATION: A FIRST LOOK SHOWCASE, a content-matching event bridging the gap between Japanese rights holders and US creators to facilitate the adaptation of Japanese IP for film, TV, and games. (for more information, please visit j-creation.us). We also invested in the Tony Award-winning plays An American in Paris and Kinky Boots. Our talent management department actively searches and discovers new local talent for the US entertainment industry. We represent a diverse array of actors and actresses here in the US, as well as some of Japan’s most bankable stars for their overseas activities. Our music department provides tour support and management services for bands such as BABYMETAL, the metal dance unit sensation; ONE OK ROCK, one of the biggest Japanese rock bands in the US; and Perfume, the global techno-pop trio. We also continue to discover talented musical artists in the US. We also plan, coordinate, and produce a variety of events and concerts. In recent years, we have worked with SPJA, Lantis Co., Ltd., Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc., BANDAI VISUAL CO. LTD., BANDAI NAMCO Live Creative Inc., and other leading Japanese entertainment companies to bring the concert live event Anisong World Matsuri to Anime Expo in Los Angeles. Featuring some of the top anime theme song artists and bands, Amuse USA will be organizing the event for a third year at Anime Expo 2018.
