Background

King Records Co., Ltd. is a Japanese record label company that was founded in 1931 as a division of a publishing company Kodansha.

(2006? -)

Logo: We see the text "KING RECORDS" with a tri-colored (red, blue, green) line on a black background.

Variants:

  • A superimposed version exists.
  • Sometimes it's in full screen.
  • An early version has a smaller logo and slightly darker.
  • A CinemaScope/Panavision version has been spotted.
  • A red version has been spotted on Nana Mizuki's Apassionato music video.
  • A black and white version has been spotted.
  • One music video has a bigger King Records logo and a VCR effect.
  • Kindan no Resistance had the text in light brown-yellow.
  • Vitalization had the transparent King Records logo glitching out in a circled-stylized background with red-orange lasers, then the Nana Mizuki screen shuts off.
  • A rare variant that "KING RECORDS" has been replaced with "Bellwood Records" in a Times New Roman-like font.
  • A in-credit version also exists.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon.

  • Appeared on the end of some music videos starting in 2007 with Nana Mizuki's Orchestral Fantasia.
  • A CinemaScope/Panavision version has appeared on the music video versions of Nana Mizuki's BRIGHT STREAM, Kindan no Resistance, WHAT YOU WANT (first song from her 37th single WONDER QUEST EP), and Inori Minase's Catch the Rainbow!
  • This logo is omitted on both music video versions of Nana Mizuki's Pray and SUPER☆MAN, and most AKB48 single songs.
  • The COSMIC LOVE music video however, had the logo in Nana Mizuki's official YouTube channel.

Editor's Note: This logo is similar to the last Perfini logo from 1989 and SF Studios from 1930 to 1932 and 1939 to 1995.
