About STARTO ENTERTAINMENT
STARTO ENTERTAINMENT is a Tokyo-based talent management company established in October 2023, with a legacy that dates back to 1962. Since its formation, the company has been taking confident steps toward the global stage, guided by the solid foundation built through over six decades of supporting the Japanese entertainment industry.
Currently, STARTO comprises dozens of chart-topping groups—both past and present—and more than 100 currently active artists and entertainers who represent Japanese pop culture across a diverse range of genres, including NEWS, SUPER EIGHT, Hey! Say! JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, timelesz, A.B.C-Z, King & Prince, SixTONES, Snow Man, Naniwa Danshi, and Travis Japan. These performers have been at the forefront of J-Pop and grow in both greatness and attention with each new generation.
To be successful in this industry is a one in a billion chance. To see one agency continuously pump out star after star, must-see group after must-see group, generation after generation, is a testament not only to the skills they possess, but also to the work they put in to become absolute masters of their craft. And it cannot be stated any other way, this company, this family, this heritage, has taken every single aspect of Japanese entertainment to new heights.
STARTO NEWS ARCHIVES – a significant step toward expanding global reach
Now, STARTO opens a new chapter to bring fans the happiness and love of their incredible talent that transcends languages, distances, and time zones.
Their new platform, known as “STARTO NEWS ARCHIVES,” will host curated articles about its talent and artist groups, and is available in Chinese (Traditional), Thai, Korean, and English. Rather than relying solely on polished announcements or formal press materials, this site offers something more personal: the stories, memories, and passion of the people whose lives have been touched by the artists’ work.
In addition to fan-focused reviews of select new music releases, original docuseries, and other globally available streaming media, there will also be a focus on content those living outside Japan can enjoy in-person; including but not limited to: behind-the-scenes reports of local concerts and live events featuring the participation of the company’s beloved icons. Registered users will also have the option to follow their favorite artists for a more personalized feed and reader experience.
All articles will be archived on the official website for access at any time, with a comprehensive newsletter released every month. Individual in-language updates will also be rolled out via dedicated Facebook and LINE accounts for readers living in Thailand and Taiwan (check the site for details). Additional member benefits and content opportunities are currently underway, to be expanded on based on community interest.
Be they local or internationally-accessible events, new release announcements, merchandise news, or original content, your cherished memories will be preserved forever. Sign up today to be a part of this new community!
