Does this sounds legit to you?
This is trash thrown away at AKB events. Is it garbage or is it valued music by its fans? |
I know, this looks bad and I don't appreciate it.
But everybody has its own reasons to buy CDs. And it's their money. You know, it's pretty common for Japan to resell CDs and DVDs at stores like Book Off and auctions sites as well (and you don't get that much money back for it). Doesn't mean they value the actual music less. There are for sure also Ayu fans throwing away stuff from her. Or any other artists.
There is a spot for disposing CDs at the garbage info calender e.g. Most apartements are small and so on.
The physical market is all about packaging and editions.
Ayu as well. Most people don't use CDs anymore, even though they're buying them support the artist. And in the end every CD is going to be thrown away at some point.
So no, it isn't. For whatever reasons, people buy the CDs.
But out of curiosity. Do you know how many are thrown away? Percentage?
Also I want to correct a mistake I made - the digital share of the Japanese music market is about 20% (vice versa for the USA). The numbers for 2016 are out. Had a wrong number in my mind.

Quoted for truth!
I listen to so many artists, who aren't popular at all.
It really doesn't matter in the end.
