Well I can see that may happens.. The only major selling artist in EMI Japan rite now is hikki. Glay is not selling well, ringo is not... probly hikki is not selling that well in terms physical, but her digital sales are really high.
If she's moving to another label.. I hope it will be Sony. At least I can see Sony giving more freedom to its artists on releasing music. Avex is just a factory, milking its artists 365 days per year LOL
