Michiko Fujimura has been involved in the music industry for over 25 years. She started her career at EMI Music Japan and moved to Universal Music Japan at the timing of the acquisition of EMI by Universal.
She spent most of her time as a producer in the international music department on both labels. Since 2021, she has been engaged in various activities centered on the operation of Tokyo International Music Market (TIMM), the only music market in Japan focused on overseas expansion, at Japan Music Culture Export (JMCE), an organization that supports the overseas expansion of Japanese artists.

The foundation is supported by the Japanese music industry and the main supporting members of the foundation are major Japanese record labels and music trade bodies & associations representing; artists, performers, record labels, management companies, music publishers, concert promoters and music retailers.
Tokyo International Music Market (TIMM)
TIMM is the largest Japanese international B-to-B music convention held annually since 2004. The event is supported by the Ministry of Economy, and is attended every year by music industry executives, artists and other professionals from around the globe.
A one-of-a-kind festival that can introduce the wonderfulness of Asian music.
Japan is a number of small islands in the far far East, but its music industry is absolutely massive. Japan has one of the most active, innovative and lucrative music industries in the world.
TIMM, also known as Tokyo International Music Market, is the premier government funded Showcase and music business conference in Japan. We feel that Michiko and her team are at the top of the Japanese music industry with the ability and experience to navigate and connect us with what we could ever want or need in the country of Japan.
