D-topia Entertainment

D-topia Entertainment (previously known as DTJ or D-Topia Japan) is a Japanese record label produced by Terukado Ōnishi, officially established in public prior to December 14, 2007. The label is dedicated to promoting girls' entertainment, particularly the music of female singers. It was formed as a business partnership between Avex Group, its co-area promoter, and Victor Entertainment, its distributing label.

On September 9, 2010, D-topia announced that they had paired with Universal Music Japan to create a new label, D-Topia Universe, with distribution by Universal Music Japan.[1] The label's first release was Mitsuki Aira's third full-length album, "???", released on November 17, 2010.

Musical style

The label's tagline is "Undertaking girls' entertainment" (ガールズエンターテイメントは引き受けます Gārusu entāteimento wa hikiukemasu?).[2]

Originally the home of rock-pop idol group Harenchi Punch, the main focus of D-topia was originally very idol-centric. Towards 2009, the focus of the label gradually shifted to mainstream electronica acts starting with Mega Trance audition winner Aira Mitsuki.
