Tokyopop has joined forces with the Digital Rights Agency (DRA) to launch a new record label, Tokyopop Music.  Tokyopop is a leading North American manga publisher while the Digital Rights Agency currently distributes more than 350 leading independent record labels in 15 countries. 

 

Tokyopop Music will launch with three diverse compilation albums: Tokyopop Presents Drift 2 Die, a mix of electronics and hip-hop from Initial D produced by b_nCHANt_d and D.J. Milky; Tokyopop Presents Anime Trax Volume One, which features music by b_nCHANt_d and D.J. Milky from GTO, Rave Master, and Princess Ai; and Tokyopop Presents Beats 4 Riderz, featuring hip-hop music from Street Fury and Initial D.

 

Although the Tokyopop Music tracks are grouped together in albums for marketing purposes, they will not be released on CD.  They are all available now for downloading on iTunes and soon will be accessible everywhere downloadable music is sold.
