avex usa
 

i was looking at her vinyl when i notice that some were released in us http://eneabba.net/ayu/disco/vinyl/part3.htm by avex usa . i was wondering , do avex usa still exist and if it does why not releasing ayumi albums with us pressing ?

maybe it's the hawaii studio?

and damn how to get my hands on all those pretty vinyls...

no I dont think it is...maybe they have a studio in LA?

maybe i have no idea. i want those vinyl too but when i ask in store it seems they never heard of it . those must have been very limited

i think when artist in in avex jp realese in US I think it's will be by Hollywood records ;)

any ayumi album have been produce under this label ?

i dont think its for all japanese artist because i remember l arc en ciel was under tofu record

Avex USA was a subsidiary from Avex. They established it in 1993 for licensing and mastering purposes (Avex USA ran the US recording studios) and released a few remixes of avex artists under it. In May 2007 it was shut down though, because apparently it was too costly. There is still a UK sub-label though. :)

oh wow they shut down ? what a pity ! i think they didnt promote enough well . i would have love to buy ayumi cd in regular store for decent price. tofu records shut down too . it seems like every japanese music company that try to licence they products in us shut down after a few years.

a lot more visual kei and jrock artist are coming now so why not jpop ?

^well the sounds are very different no?

and the market for those two genres are also very different.

I would expect that people who like pop in america won't be as "forgiving" to the lack of english vocals as people who would enjoy visual kei and jrock...imo anyway.
