The story
Brain Co., Ltd. was founded in 1976 by Ken Murakami. It was originally a small recording company serving the Hiroshima area. It focused mainly on recording educational music groups. As demand grew, they moved into recording contests and concerts for secondary, collegiate, community, military and professional musical groups. By 1983 they had created a monthly band topics video magazine called WINDS and the area of operations for recordings expanded to cover the entirety of Japan. In 1997 they began to offer a sales and rental collection of works for wind orchestra and ensembles. Staff grew from originally two in Hiroshima to now more than 50, with branches in Tokyo and Florida. In 1999, to serve America and Europe they created a Western export division called Bravo Music.
