About the studio
TV Tokyo Music was founded August 25, 1969 under the original name Tokyo Twelve Music Publishing, based in Minato, Tokyo, and it's operated as a subsidiary of TV Tokyo Holdings ever since. Its role isn't production or broadcasting, it's music: rights management, background scoring, and music production credits across TV Tokyo's anime lineup, including the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, Aikatsu!, Tokyo Revengers, and Re:Zero. *Every long-running anime needs someone managing the music rights in the background, and that's been this company's whole job for over 50 years.* In November 2023, the company rebranded its logo to テレ東ミュージック (Tele-to Music) alongside TV Tokyo's broader brand refresh. More than five decades since its founding, TV Tokyo Music remains one of those essential-but-invisible companies, the kind whose work you'd only notice if the music rights on your favorite anime suddenly went sideways.
