Danger Crue Records is a Japanese visual kei independent record label located in Tokyo, Japan. It was originally the record label of the Danger Crue music office, both founded in 1981.[1] According to D'erlanger drummer Tetsu, Danger Crue was formed for the heavy metal band 44Magnum.[1] The first release by Danger Crue was the album Insane by Reaction in July 1985.[2] In April 2000, the office changed its name to the Maverick D.C. Group but continues to run the Danger Crue Records label.

In 2002, Maverick D.C. held a concert to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Danger Crue. It has since become an annual year-end event under the name Jack in the Box since 2007;[3] derived from the nickname of Maverick D.C. president Masahiro Oishi. On December 27, 2021, Jack in the Box celebrated Danger Crue's 40th anniversary at the Nippon Budokan.[1][4]
