AVO Magazine is a Japan-related website with a focus on Japanese music. If you have news that you want us to share and is related to Japan or Japanese music, please send an email with your news, press releases, music, and press kits to the Editor-in-Chief of AVO Magazine. So do you have something exciting to share with us? We’re all ears!
Please keep in mind that the news has to be in English and that AVO Magazine is bilingual. To publish certain articles, it needs the time to translate them into Dutch as well. Since the website is run by one person, it is not always possible to publish the article. But know that we will always try our very best.
In regards to music, physical formats are still welcome (on request), but we do also appreciate links to streams and downloadable MP3s.
