Recently, as the label's works have gradually begun to be featured in Japanese CD shops and media as well, I decided to start this Japanese blog here. I hope it will help not only overseas listeners but also Japanese music fans deepen their understanding of the elsewhere music label's activities, the composers we feature, and the works we present. I've chosen to carry forward the name of my personal blog, “view from elsewhere,” which I used to write primarily about experimental and classical music from around 2004, before I moved to the US, until 2020.

Alongside gradually introducing the label's activities and the artists and works featured on elsewhere music, I also hope to write about deep discussions on music beyond my label's releases—similar to what I used to write on my personal blog before I started my own label.
