zaa_zaa 208 Posted February 13, 2017 Good luck with that. Precisely because of such tactics I wish for this band to disband. 1 deadman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrenGun 2261 Posted February 13, 2017 they are not that unpopular tho. At one of their first gigs I had to buy 2 copies of their first single for a Japanese friend. But still good luck with 300. I still doubt that they are that popular tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Reverend 3566 Posted February 13, 2017 Damn that's a big ask... esp. considering I don't think they have some release that coincides with that show. Also, if this really was their record label saying "get 300 people at this show or find a new label" does that not hurt Terakoya's ability to convince other bands to sign with them? Like, if I was a band on the come up would I want to sign with a label that made public a demand to get a certain number of people at a show?? Just drop 'em and move on if they're not making the money you'd like, don't embarrass them. 10 smilesxchibi, desparejo86, Komorebi and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desparejo86 160 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a cheap ploy to get people to come to the gig. Very lame of the band. Edited February 13, 2017 by desparejo86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) they're definitely not that popular, i wonder who booked them at o-west; i saw it on twitter and thought i was hallucinating bc they're an incredibly niche band. i don't think they're stupid enough to do this, i wouldn't even see them filling up area half way let alone half of o-west. i hope it wasn't terakoya trying to promote them with the obligatory o-west tour final then realizing they pushed way too hard and now they'll punish the band.

It is not the band's request, as it clearly says that their label is putting them through this. Being one of the few original acts left, it is unfortunately no surprise that they are so unpopular as their sound simply does not match the current competition. They are one of the few bands I personally still enjoy and it would be sad to see them go. 2 smilesxchibi and Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Shironuri's last stand～白失明～ Even if they don't make 300, hopefully getting dropped from their label doesn't mean they also break up. They're pretty decent, which is why this is more concerning than Misarudeka inciting drama Edited February 13, 2017 by Peace Heavy mk II 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
