In 2006, Sakamoto, with the help of Avex and its founder/president Max Matsuura, founded Commmons.
The label promised change in the way music should be. For him, Commmons is not his label, but is a platform for all aspiring artists to join as equal collaborators and share for benefits of the music industry. The word Commmons has three M's because the 3rd M stands for music.[1]
It is distributed by Rhythm Zone, Avex's urban and R&B record label, and uses the catalog code RZCM-4****. It also serves as a distributing label for Thrill Jockey and Raster-Noton in Japan.
Commmons' official slogan is Think Global, Act Local.
