yay~~ for the 7th thread about sifoooowww

The seventh thread was already created. I dunno why people was posting in the old one.

Link of the seventh thread: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...ighlight=sifow

That FAILED TO CHART makes me depressed T.T

seriously. every single, too. it's not just one failed to chart, but they all did. :(

its funny most of her stuff failed to chart but she has alot of fans lol

this is the 7th thread. I noticed the other 7th thread was actually created before the sixth thread was at 500 posts. it's not a competition, new threads come after 500 posts. :innocent

all that charting data is so sad for sifow, nothing charts :P

anyways, I've often heard speculation that a lot of non-mainstream music is sold in a way that it doesn't count towards oricon. thru various web-services & smaller record stores & post catalogues & in clubs. I wonder if there's any thruth to this?

sifow thread was in 495 posts when I made the other one, lol.

we are a lot of fans but OUTSIDE japan
she probably has a lot of fan in japan(especially gyarus, I think) but not enough to chart :(

Avex doesn't promote her release! Never!!!
maybe if she was having more promotion it would be better

it wasn't, the posts were like around 470-480. but whatever, it's not a big deal ...

Well she doesn't exactly have potential to sell so I think they focus on artists which are more likely to sell a lot. At least she did perform on rare occasions compared to artists who sell like her.

Also gals don't exactly have a great reputation so I think only gals would purchase sifow's stuff.

Some posts were deleted then coz I really saw 495 in the posts mark. Well, I'm sorry it it wasn't.

Because the title is effing ugly, biatch. :D

True, stores need a license from Oricon so stuff can be counted on oricon i herd.

sifow COULD be selling DECENTLY but her sales are just not counted.

Her albums that charted are most likely the few copies that sold in big stores like HMV, Tower records etc, and those stores don't carry many copies of her stuff. I was told from a member that when he went in CD shops, most of them didnt carry sifow's stuff and those that did, only carried one of each release.


Would anyone like to make a banner for the thread?

Well I've heard from my friend that even artists like Hitomi Shimatani also have that problem. Like they don't stock singles in CD shops. I guess only the largest stores do carry CDs of artists which are not huge because small ones aren't willing to take the risk. It's a shame really but with a small fanbase I guess it's not like they can do much or even care that much. I think they should try something like a CD signing event though.

^ That sucks, though. I really like her and that failed to chart thing is a sad. :(

does cdjapan counts in oricon? 'cause I know that when you buy on yesasia she has the money but it doesn't count in oricon chart :(

they should keep more stuff of sifow..but they probably don't want to take the risk of loosing money...

Thank you for the better thread. :D And I'm glad we got to finish out mine...

Yeah, all of those "failed to charts" are pretty depressing... I wish Avex would do SOMETHING to promote her... I just don't understand why they have a contract with her if they're not going to DO anything with it and try to cash in on her? What's in it for them?

Poor Sifow she does not chart at all :/
But I love her music what I've heard of it ^^
I think it's really cool.

Well probably her fanbase is enough to cover the costs and they know that sifow doesn't have much potential through promotion due to her gal image.
