Tofu Records was a US record label of Sony Music Entertainment Japan which was launched in 2003 to distribute Japanese pop Sony artists in the United States, and closed in 2007. Tofu Records first signed T.M.Revolution to the label, and used the anime fandom community to spread the word. T.M.Revolution's initial U.S. concert debut at Otakon 2003 was successful, drawing an audience of over 5,000. Tofu Records' second signing deal was with L'Arc~en~Ciel, a successful Japanese band. The label kicked off publicity for the group with a concert at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland during Otakon 2004. L'Arc~en~Ciel made 1st Mariner Arena history by being the first music group from Japan to headline there. The concert drew an estimated 12,000. As of 2006, Tofu Records had also published the Splurge album by pop duo Puffy AmiYumi. They also represented Nami Tamaki, High and Mighty Color, ZONE, Miss Monday, Rhymester, Soulhead and Polysics.
