UK Project (stylized as UK.PROJECT) is a Japanese independent record label and an artist management company which runs various music labels, artist management agencies and concert venues under its umbrella company.
[1] UK Project was founded in September 1987 with the theme of "discovering unknown ones" and has been operating under this concept ever since.
Some notable UK Project-owned labels include RX-Records[3] and Daizawa Records.
[2] In spite of its "indie" label, UK Project is a prolific music company that has signed many Japanese indie-rock bands which later went on to commercial success.
The venue hosts a variety of live performances of bands from all genres, although it is more geared towards rock acts.
[13] Since 2011, UK Project has held an annual summer event named "UKFC on the Road", which started as a nationwide tour but has since evolved into a two-day music festival with current and previous UK Project bands, as well as foreign and affiliated bands.
[1] Notable Highline Record artists were Bump of Chicken, Good Dog Happy Man and Nananine.
