    Anyway I thought Kai was “leader-sama”. What’s the deal with that?

    The deal is Ruki was all "let's management bother this dude and keep them off my back while I write".

    it especially sucks when I've amassed most of a band's discography, only to be lacking their live-limited cds and it's so nervewracking for a perfectionist like me. 

     

    Missing that one Malisend release, that one first Jiluka single, that one rare VRZEL distributed CD... it's killing me, man, killing me slowly and painfully.

     

    I never replied to Zeus because I was busy/being lazy, but Hiroki explained more or less what I meant to say. I do not blame overseas fans for poor VK sales, I mean that for the average VK band there's probably no more than like 8 overseas fans interested in actually purchasing a CD they distribute live, so for the band it's probably not worth the trouble of releasing a live CD through a regular shop, with all the added expenses that would entail, just so like 3 dudes in Europe and one in the States can get a copy. Basically what Hiroki explained. It sucks ass for us but I really see why bands would go that route. And most don't even care about that extra 3 bucks they'll get from us if we get the CD on any store, it's not relevant, when they can push a live limited release that will draw fans from Japan who will not only spend 1000 yen on the CD, but, while they're at it, they'll spend 2000-5000 extra yen on cheki and merch, AND the ticket.

     

    As Zeus mentioned, it's probably a few hoarders at the top of the food chain who are keeping VK from taking the smart route when it comes to music distribution, and for bands it's not an easy thing to just ditch the labels, since, as I understand, livehouses have deals with music labels and if you want to actually perform you gotta sell your soul to the devil somehow. It really sucks, but for us to get VK music on bandcamp and such it would require much, MUCH more than just an artist saying "K, so I have a bunch of chicks tweeting me in English, gotta sell for them as well" 😕

    Not surprised by this, of course the cute one leaving took a toll on them, as ignorant as that sounds.

    Actually, he's the least popular member in Japan it seems. But he was probably the main composer.

    When I bought the umbrella album I had a brief encounter with the band members themselves. I didn’t recognise them until they said who they were, they were wearing no makeup and two of them had surgical masks. I was too shy to talk to them but it was still really cool to see them hanging around Closet Child Harajuku!

    That's really cool, and it's nice they saw you actually buy their release :P

    Buying music in Japan gets addictive.

    I got another bunch of Jiluka merch and, as usual, can't post photos here. But I share on IG.
