CLJ Records

CLJ Records is a German independent record label formed in 2006 specializing in Japanese visual kei style rock and metal bands. The label was never officially dissolved, but there haven't been any releases in over 10 years. The label had up to 31 bands signed, but it's likely that all of the contracts expired by now. CLJ is a sub division of Colosseum Music Entertainment and their head office is located in Nuremberg Germany. In cooperation with the Japanese/German tour promotion company Rock Identity, many of the groups with material released under CLJ Records performed live on tour throughout Europe in the late 2000s.


 * CLJ Records also released the compilation album J-Visual[ism] with JaME dedicated to the "next superstars" of Japanese rock, those bands are also among the listed artists under CLJ Records.
