It Begins...

Founder of FM BIRD Makiko Stapf Nagakura had already been the world of TV broadcasting as a talent and model since when in university, she was fascinated and had a strong interest in what is going on in the backstage in mid 20’s , that eventually brought her to her new career as a producer, director, and writer in TV/radio broadcasting. In the 1990’s when foreign music gained high popularity, Nagakura found profound potential in radio personality who are bilingual (English and Japanese) at native level, and started working on building a platform to help educate the talents. However, she soon found difficulties in discovering new talent, for no one at that time had knowledge and experience for the platform, hence there was no way to compete major management companies.

In 1994, Nagakura produced the 1st radio DJ competition with the help of Keio University that took place in the renowned university’s annual festival. Winner was Nao Kaneko, still a university student at that time, but already had some amount of experience internationally as bilingual, and had a beautiful voice. Nagakura immediately asked Kaneko to join Nagakura, trained her and run a whole promotion, but it took some time for the industry to recognize Kaneko’s talent. However that did not stop Nagakura, for she had a strong belief that as Japanese media is going to be globalized, Kaneko is someone they will do need, then Nagakura founded what is now known as FM BIRD, management company exclusively in bilingual radio personality.
