Gan-Shin

is a European rock music record label. It was formed in 2004 by Deville Schober. The label, active in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, exclusively signs bands from Japan.

History

Gan-Shin was formed by Brainstorm Music Marketing head, Deville Schober. Schober saw a promotional poster for a rock quartet, and was intrigued, as he had never heard of the band before, D'espairsRay. Schober attended concerts to Japanese rock bands, and, inspired by their unique look and sound, began to sign Japanese rock acts to his new label, Gan-Shin.
