Opinions Please Currently I am throwing around a bit of a wild idea in my head. Writing it here is in no way a confirmation, just a check to see if the interest is strong enough to warrant the effort it would take to organize. But would people be interested in a live stream where, with a translator present the international vkei fans themselves could ask questions of one of the musicians I work with (who would be willing) Generally it would probably be operated simular to an in store event in Japan. Due to time, and other issues it would be hard to assure that everyone’s questions would be asked and answered. But it would give everyone a chance to ask and interact with a vkei artist in a new way. Once again I stress the fact that this is not a confirmed thing, just something I am considering looking into if there is enough interest.

I will check on where the physical cd of "Ishtar" will be available. I will try to provide an answer as soon as possible.

Additionally Deviloof’s new artist photo has also been released. And an official facebook page in both English and Japanese has been opened https://www.facebook.com/DeviloofOfficial/

Deviloof's new artist photos along with their new song will be made public today at 22:00 Japanese standard time.

I hope you will enjoy what they have to offer Perhaps we may need to ask a god for a few extra hands in the future to help deal with the growing workload. but its all worth it! thank you, many people seem to be surprised by this announcement. but actually it seemed quite obvious to both me and the band.

While at the moment there are no current plans with any bands signed under Ains, you never know what the future holds.

We at V STAR PROMOTION would like to thank everybody for your continued support. Following our recent two announcements, it now means that the number of band V STAR PROMOTION will be working with closely has increased to four, those four bands being: -Rides In ReVellion -BLAZE -Deviloof -MORRIGAN However sadly BLAZE will soon be disbanding. It is our goal and purpose to make sure that the music produced by these bands is accessible to fans worldwide, as well as easy and accessible up to date news regarding these bands on English social media accounts, as well as English subtitled videos. Of course other things such as occasional competitions live attending support and media in English will also be provided. However this does not mean V STAR PROMOTION will only be working with the above three bands. Our main goal as a business is to help spread the knowledge about as many talented bands as possible, all it means is that due to man power, time and other issues, these three bands will be receiving a little extra effort as providing all of the above listed services can be very time consuming. We hope to increase this number whenever possible. We have many different things under construction for the near and distant future.. Once again thank you for all of your support.

V STAR PROMOTION is very happy to announce that from this day onward, we will be working with the band MORRIGAN! V STAR PROMOTION and MORRIGAN will be working closely together to guarantee that their music is available worldwide. Of course we will also make sure all information about the band is easily accessible to fans worldwide! Please look forward to releases on iTunes, a multi-language official Facebook, subtitled music video, and many other great things. From this moment on, we at V STAR PROMOTION ask that you kindly welcome MORRIGAN.

I'm glad tat you really enjoy their stuff, I hope you will enjoy the upcoming release just as much. thank you for the continued support.

Along with a official facebook in Japanese and english, this is the one of the first things we will be working on!

This is of course something we are very mindful of. however I do have a action plan in mind that should help avoid such a situation. I too hope things go well for Deviloof.

I completely understand. Music is a diverse wonderful thing, it is something with many different styles and variations, so its natural that not everything is going to appeal to everybody. while I do see a good potential market and fanbase for Deviloof, by no means do I think that everyone will like what they have to offer. my goal is to work closely with a handful of bands (expanding as time and means allow) and to provide occasional assistance to several bands. that way hopefully there will be something everybody enjoys somewhere in the mix. and of course thank you for your continued support of Rides In ReVellion!

it will probably be a bit of a surprise for some. but this is actually something I have been planning to pursue for quite a while now. and now the time is right, for both V STAR PROMOTION and Deviloof. as it is I belief Deviloof already has a promising fan base of supportive fans, so the goal is to nurture and grow that fan base by making the band and their music more accessible to international fans. everyone's support is greatly appreciated.

Live photography was taken at a MORRIGAN live. Please look forward to these pictures in the near future. Now I will start two planned meetings for tonight!

My area of business is a little bit different; however this issue is definitely a key issue in any area of the music industry. My personal belief is that regardless, there will always be people in this community, in this world, who if they can get something for free will do so. However the issue of illegal uploading and downloading is not something that can be stopped so easily, and honestly fighting it and blaming it for the “demise of the vkei scene” is not productive at all. Infact if it was not for illegal uploading and downloading, the current visual kei scene would not exist as it does today. Rather than fighting this issue in a negative way, I think it is better to acknowledge it and provide other options. With my experiences to this date, primarily in the case of Rides In ReVellion and their two releases being uploaded for free download. When I explained that the releases are available on international iTunes for a very reasonable price, and that the band would appreciate anyone who enjoys the music to support them by downloading legally, after this a majority of people, wanting to support the band begun to download legally from iTunes and started to encourage others to do so as well, This lead to several key points. -availability -knowledge of availability -affordability -quality of the product -customer service There is no point in feeling discouraged or trying to blame the “corrupt uploaders and downloaders” it’s best to be positive, provide alternatives, market and promote well and of course provide positive, friendly and good customer service.

They are a heavier visual kei band, that has already formed a small but decent fan base internationally. While I think their strong style will not be everybody's taste, I do believe they have a lot of potential. I will also say that, if plans go ahead the first planned actions are a official Facebook in Japanese and English as well as organising to have their current releases avalible at least on iTunes
