Rice Music (ライス・ミュージック) is a subsidiary label of UP-FRONT WORKS that handles enka music. It was originally established in March 1995 under the name "Y.J. Sounds" (Y.J.サウンズ), but the label was renamed "Rice Music" in September 2004, and various UP-FRONT GROUP enka or folk singers were transferred over from the zetima label. Much like PICCOLO TOWN, the label was also originally handled by KING RECORDS. However, as of August 2013, the label is now handled by Pony Canyon instead, much like the hachama label.
