Info on Nightmare's former label 'VAP'?

[TheZigzagoon 670]

I'm interested to know more about them because I only recall ever seeing them have NIGHTMARE and Sendai Kamotsu on their label. Anyone know if any other bands were on it and who it belonged to etc, even our opinion on the label would be appreciated

VAP is relatively big iirc? Here's their website with a list of the artists they have/had signed. http://vap.co.jp/category/1355200151595/

Yeah they're a major media publisher for audio and video but that's all I know XD Thanks for the link!

I don't know about now, but they used to have bands like WHITE ASH, Pay money To my Pain, GALNERYUS, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, etc. (although two of those are disbanded and the other two are now on Warner...) I think they have some connections to anime, because all of the artists I can think of that were on VAP got big anime tie-ups.

afaik, VAP is a subsidiary from Nippon TV, and they operate in several multimedia areas, as a label, doing video and audio effects and etc.

 

So yeah, it probably explain why their artists get easier time doing tie-ups
