wat does Indies mean?
ReplyDeleteMayuka is ridiculously adorable.
ReplyDeleteBeing an Indie just means that the artist is independent of the influences of major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries.
ReplyDeleteArtists on Indie record labels have a lot more overall creative control on the image of the group, the songs they sing or write and how they want to promote themselves and get a bigger share of overall profits.”
Some Indies don`t have an agency or even managers, they do everything themselves and keep 100% of the profits.
It`s freedom to control your own music career .
Damn, this looks so cool. I wish I lived in Japan...
ReplyDeleteI've seen some pretty successful indie bands from other countries. Some are big enough to have their CD's sold in stores, and hold really big concerts, record their own DVD's, etc...
I don't know if this would be possible in Japan, but you can definitely be big while still being independent.
I think I like Sakino the best.
Nana looks so much younger than she is.
that song sounds so similar to ske48 red team - seishun wa hazukashii
