TAXI in non-US territory?

Just out of curiosity, does TAXI has any non-US clients looking for music?

The reason why I ask is because a lot of the bigger publishing houses in the UK, Europe and Australia seem to put a lot of emphasis on the Asian market (Japan being the 2nd biggest market in the world).
On average the Asian countries have 80% domestic artists and very little are written by Asian writers. CD sales seems to be the strongest there still, even though the price is about 150% of what you can find in Europe/UK.
They have about a girl-boy-band launch the size of the Spice Girls/Nsync/Backstreet Boys, etc... every six months.

If TAXI does not get any requests of that particular market, are any of you on here pro-actively pitching to this market?


Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Cheers

According to a couple of certificates from forwards, I've had tracks sent to a libraries in South Africa and Australia. No deals or further contact from them yet.

I have a couple tracks signed to an Australian library (via a Taxi forward). And there have definitely been great listings for E. Asian record companies and artists. Seems to me there were a few in the last year or so. So, maybe not a lot, but some.
