  • SEGA Music Department to Launch 'Wave Master' Record Labels

    Selling SEGA Soundtracks and handling J-pop artists.

    A new chapter opens for SEGA's in-house sound and music production studio, 'Wave Master Co', as it announces that it will be creating two record labels to support its game soundtrack and pop music ambitions.

    The music production department, which has been responsible for developing the music for many SEGA game (including Sonic the Hedgehog titles), will start commercially releasing the SEGA game soundtracks it produces under the 'Wave Master Entertainment' label. 'Wave Master Entertainment' will also release soundtracks from various movies and anime, but it sounds like its focus will be on in-house SEGA projects.

    Interestingly, the second record label, 'Wave Master Artists', instead aims to pursue the mainstream J-pop market, with an aim to court popular Japanese artists and handle their new CD releases. To that end, SEGA announced that an agreement has already been concluded with Avex Distribution Co to begin work with some of their artists. The inital lineup includes Juria Matsuda, Hayabusa Jones, El Malo and Spinning Q Factor.

    The first titles under the 'Wave Master Artists' label are scheduled to release on October 1, while the initial soundtracks from 'Wave Master Entertainment' will launch from November 5.
