Virgin Records (Japanese domestic artist roster under UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN's Virgin Music division (previously EMI Music Japan / Toshiba EMI). Do not use for international artists!)
~ Label
Annotation
This label originated under Toshiba EMI Ltd. / EMI Music Japan Inc. to distinguish its Japanese domestic artist roster from overseas artists. The imprint was deactivated on April 1, 2013, when UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN merged all of EMI Music Japan Inc.'s domestic labels into the new EMI Records Japan division.
In June 2014, the imprint was reactivated under the newly created Virgin Music division of UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN.
Note: International artists do not belong here! Examples of such releases that don't belong here include VJCP catalog number releases manufactured by Toshiba-EMI ( - 2007), EMI Music Japan (2007 - 2013), or USM Japan (2013 - present), and should use the worldwide Virgin instead.
Renamed to: EMI Records Japan (a J-Pop division of Universal Music Japan, 2013–2014 only)
