Warner Music Group and 10K Projects have signed a global label deal with Psychic Fever, a Japanese dance and vocal group. Will this help the J-pop upstarts blow up outside of Japan?
The group already has a strong following inside Japan, with a fast growing fanbase in key Asian markets like the Philippines and Thailand. Leveraging its extensive network, WMG will support Psychic Fever’s global ambition, showcasing their distinctive musical style—rooted in Japan and brought to life by its diverse members. They’ll have access to Warner’s cutting-edge digital marketing expertise and opportunities for cross-border collaborations.
To celebrate the signing, the band visited Warner Music Group’s Los Angeles office, putting on a special showcase. The showcase included performances of hits including “Just Like Dat,” “Paradise,” and “What’s Happenin’.”
“Psychic Fever really blew us away with their incredible performance,” adds Molly McLachlan, Co-President, 10K Projects. “The group has been exploding in Asia and the 10K team is excited to play its part in connecting them with a wider audience in America and around the world.”
“We are delighted that Psychic Fever has chosen Warner Music as a partner for their new challenge on the global stage,” adds Takeshi Okada, President & CEO of Warner Music Japan. “As the unique evolution of Japanese music culture continues to attract significant attention worldwide, we remain committed to bringing the music of Japanese artists to audiences around the globe.”
Debuting in 2022 and signed to the leading entertainment company LDH Japan, Psychic Fever has been on a continuous journey of artistic evolution. The group has steadily built their global fanbase through a combination of streaming hits, social media activity, and dynamic live performances. The group will release it’s first single under Warner Music in June 2025.
“Psychic Fever is a group formed with the goal of making an impact on the global stage,” says Hiroyuki Igarashi, Chairman, CEO, and CCO of LDH Japan. “With Warner Music Group’s support, we are excited to take on new challenges and make even greater strides in the international music scene.”
