Title: What do you know about library music from Japan?
Post by: ChunYinZi on February 13, 2025, 05:38:35 AM: Can you tell us what you know about Library Music from Japan?

It would be good to include relevant websites

The companies I mentioned are all real. I have CDs from some of them to prove it, but others are only listed on websites—they do exist, but there’s nowhere to listen to their music, no demos are available, and I haven’t seen any CDs for sale either.

Although used on the same channel, I wasn't sure if YFO was separated from Chart Maker.

I think YFO Music is another album title by Chart Maker.

Just like the difference between JPX MUSIC and Sound Staff in Sound Factory

But this is just my guess—unless I see the CD in the future.

Post by: DoctorDoodle19 on June 28, 2026, 06:32:21 PM: I think it’s the opposite.
I think YFO Music Library is the music library’s name, and Chart Maker is their BGM series, like Sound Staff.
That makes more sense, right?

Post by: DoctorDoodle19 on June 29, 2026, 03:19:29 PM: I'm pretty sure it's the Nanki Music Library, although I'm not really interested in it.
You could also note that the Min-On Music Library was the first Japanese music library to incorporate CDs, so it's really the first modern music library in Japan.
