J-Pop Producer

Turns our song ideas, lyrics, melodies, and rough demos into complete tracks by creating instrumentals, arrangements, chord progressions, and an overall sound inspired by J-pop.

We’re looking for someone who understands the energetic and expressive qualities commonly found in J-pop, such as detailed arrangements, interesting chord movement, memorable melodies, vocal layering, dynamic transitions, and the blending of pop with genres such as rock, electronic, orchestral, funk, or R&B.

Depending on the project, you may:

• Build an instrumental around a vocal melody or rough demo

• Develop chord progressions and supporting melodies

• Arrange verses, pre-choruses, choruses, bridges, and transitions

• Help shape the song’s energy and emotional progression

• Suggest changes that make the writing feel more authentic to J-pop

• Program or record instruments

• Prepare organized stems for mixing and mastering

• Collaborate with the songwriters and Japanese lyric co-writer

What to submit?

Please send one or more examples of music you have produced or arranged. At least one example should demonstrate your ability to create a J-pop-inspired sound.

Your application may include:

• A completed original production

• An instrumental or arrangement

• A before-and-after example showing how you developed a rough demo

• A short explanation of your creative and technical contributions

• A list of the software, instruments, and equipment you use

• Any experience working remotely with vocalists or songwriters

Please clearly state which parts of each submission you personally created. Rough demos are welcome if they accurately demonstrate your musical ideas and production abilities.

We value strong arrangement choices, creativity, communication, and emotional understanding more than expensive equipment or perfectly polished mastering.
