Episode of Appearance: 006 - Mamore koi no melody! Usagi ha cupid

Jam Records is the record company for which famous jazz pianist Yusuke Amade works. This company appears only in episode 006. Jadeite sends the youma Cyrene to there with a Dark Kingdom tape containing energy-stealing subliminal high-frequency waves. Cyrene's mission is to play the tape in the company's recording studio, thus "infecting" the equipment... anything recorded there will contain the subliminal high-frequency waves. Just as Cyrene is about to plant the tape, Akiko Yanagi walks in and distracts her. Akiko mistakenly picks up the Dark Kingdom tape, thinking it is a demo made by Yusuke Amade, and leaves. Cyrene must get the tape back, so she follows Akiko, who gives it to Yusuke. Cyrene then follows Yusuke to a music club parking lot, where she retrieves the tape and returns to Jam Records. Usagi and Yusuke arrive at Jam Records also, only to find that all of the employees there (including Akiko) are completely unconscious. Usagi and Yusuke manage to destroy the tape and rescue Akiko. Eventually, Cyrene is destroyed as well. All of the record company employees return to normal, and Jam Records never appears again in the anime.

Two radio towers can be seen on top. The Jam Records logo can be found on the side of the building. The word "JAM" is written in red upper case Roman letters, but the "A" appears as a traingle rather than a normal letter A. The word "records" is written in yellow in Japanese. click for larger version One of the first things we see inside of Jam Records is the lobby. The lobby has shiny pink tile floors and white walls. There are several booths where people can sit, and large tropical plants can be seen in several corners. One wall is entirely covered by windows. Opposite the windows, there are elevators which have posters inside. The hallways of the building can also be seen, but they have no unique features. click for larger version The recording studios are where most of the action at Jam Records takes place. The studios seem large and spacious. They have pink carpet floors and white walls. The equipment is usually blue. Several plants are used as decor, but there are very few wall hangings or posters.
