Tokyo International Music Market (TIMM) is a B-to-B convention that brings together professionals of the music industry from Japan and abroad with the common goal of taking Japanese music overseas. Considering the various influences of COVID-19, 17^th, 18^th, and 19^th TIMM were held mainly in online platform called TIMM ONLINE and at where, we offered the same menu as TIMM’s offline event such as business meeting & networking, business seminars and showcase live.
 This year, TIMM celebrates its 20^th anniversary and we are delighted to announce that TIMM will be held in Tokyo as a full-fledged in-person event for the first time in four years.
 The venue of 20^th TIMM is “TOKYU KABUKICHO TOWER” which just has been opened in this spring at Kabukicho of Shinjuku ward. We are excited to offer TIMM’s various programs such as business meeting, networking, business seminars and showcase live to everyone in Shinjuku which is known as an entertainment district like Shibuya, where TIMM was held over a long time.
 The details of business seminars and showcase live will be announced on TIMM official website at a later date. And any changes related to the event will be also announced on TIMM official website.
