before this place has an opportunity to explode in another sales related shitpost - Maroon 5 bassist was arrested for selling cocaine, this market has never been about living off CD revenue even at the peak of their market sales, this can be extrapolated further but holy shit, your scene has fallen out of vogue and music market stagnation (coupled with stagnant local economy) is not helping it, like deal with it without screaming bloody murder all over the board onegai—

i actually got at statistics i wanted to see with part 2 of my post about piracy in visual kei which you sum up nicely. we don't actually know how many people spend money on buying releases but out of everyone that took the time to vote in my topic (which locks at the end of the month), a whopping 75% of them have bought or continue to buy music in addition to pirating what they can't afford. this is a very small sample size (n=36) but even out of that number, a quarter of them said they buy everything they can.
if this market has never been about living off CD revenue, and the way that most international vk fans can support their favorite artists is by buying their CDs, then i think we're already doing a lot as a group. chasing the most ideal outcome may not even be possible.

there's more to vk community than mh users too.
vk is also different from traditional western music market in a sense a minority of this scene is actually educated in music or outright bought their careers, but they still can get relatively successful without marrying into money or w/e through having a host-club/barmen side-gig, essentially drawing in more fans for what they do on stage.

I'm not qualified to comment from a political standpoint, but from the outside looking in, this attitude doesn't really shock me. Retaining status quo/perceived "normalcy" is embedded into many facets of Japanese society (culture in this case) under the guise that it retains/promotes productivity, hinders crime, etc. Fortunately, as the rest of Western society has rapidly embraced LGBT rights & anti-discrimination policies, I think Japan will ironically "fall in line" as the voices there become louder and more voluminous.
It's crazy how if you turn back to the early/mid-2000's in the U.S (and elsewhere), this conversation wouldn't have garnered nearly as much attention as it does now (just from the contents alone.) (for social media being a double-edged sword, this is one of the positives)

I don't think we'll distinctly remember 2018 for anything aside for furry twitter coming for Elon Masc's hair transplant and it's hard to disagree that it is beautiful x

does anyone else think that FWD unpacked their kagerou masters mostly because deg's album flopped and their 500 recent live DVDs were all technically a-knot only and didn't necessarily sell out
