Hi there, I’m a musician Nobuya Kobori from Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Since I’m moving to a new place on July 28th, I’m currently busy preparing to transport my instruments and have been taking a break from music production.
Instead, I’ve been focusing on administrative tasks regarding rights management, which I’ve been putting off for a while.
Right now, I’m mostly focusing on registering my music with rights management organizations.
I use BMI to register my works instead of JASRAC.

As a BMI affiliate, I’m not allowed to register with other PROs.
After moving into my new place on July 28th, I will be busy with some paperwork for a while, but I plan to resume full-scale music production shortly thereafter.
Thanks to everyone, I’ve been able to learn I need to know about Tohoku life. I’m truly grateful.
