◆The 4th Music Ally Japan Pro offline meetup is scheduled to be held!
Music Ally Japan, which delivers information that will serve as tips for success to everyone involved in the music business in a variety of forms, including e-mail newsletters, podcasts, webinars, and conferences, has launched "MAJ Pro," an original service for the music industry, in collaboration with Music Ally UK.

As part of our service to help people and organisations in the music business expand their knowledge of practical digital marketing and maximise their individual skills and business strengths, we will be hosting in-person community meet-ups.

In the first half of the study session, two guest speakers will take the stage and deliver two sessions.
In Session 1, we will focus on changes in organizational functionality and division of roles, citing examples of hit works from the Reiwa era.
In Session 2, we will deepen our understanding of "super fans," who are essential to creating hits, and focus on appropriate fan engagement for artists.
Experienced speakers will share their unique perspectives and interpretations with participants.
After the study session, we will also provide a social gathering where you can expand your business network.

We hope to create a forum where you can casually share your thoughts on issues and gain new insights and hints. Please feel free to join us.

For inquiries, please contact musicallyjapan@musically.com.
