Junko Otsubo

Planning & Communication Manager

As a music lover and a motivated student, Junko worked as an artist attend and interpreter for artists that played at music festivals during the summer, which opened the door to her music industry career.

After graduating, she was given the opportunity to work at a record label as a promoter, for many innovative labels from around the world where she was given the opportunity to promote underground yet very high quality music.

With the desire to learn more about the entertainment industry, she then joined the top music broadcast company in Japan, where she worked as the key member of the new web music channel that the company had launched.

A year later, Junko was invited to be the starting member of a new record label. She was in the A&R and Promotion division where she worked with a small yet powerful team to release globally acknowledged artists through the new independent label. She played a key role in taking a proactive approach to all medias, TV, Print, Web, and Radio. Experiencing promotion in all medias, she then was assigned to product manage several labels and artists from US, UK, Europe and Japan.

In 2008, Junko joined Syn and she is now a key player in our G-Star Raw business, she is also helping to expand our expertise in music related and PR activities. Junko ALWAYS has a smile on her face and has the enthusiasm and energy of a dozen people.
