History[edit]
Initially the manager of Pour Lui under Tsubasa Records, Watanabe became Bis' manager in 2010 when Pour Lui decided to halt solo activities and form an idol group.[2] After the disbandment of Bis in 2014 Watanabe left Tsubasa Records and founded WACK. The first two artists to sign with the company were This is not a business and new idol group Pla2me which had been formed by former Bis member Saki Kamiya.
