Not sure about that but it's quite evident after Johnny-san passed away , the Johnnys have moved onto the digital age a lot more faster than ever
I don't think Johnny-san was the issue . Perhaps he wanted to do that for the longest time but Mary or maybe Julie were not willing to do so
Now with Tackey being more prominently in charge , I think he partially pushed for this to happen . Somemore he's not a blood relative of Johnny-san so he's able to see and view things differently as compared to Johnny-san's family members
With next year being V6's 25th anniversary , I will not be surprised if V6 will undertake a similar but smaller scale approach to what ARASHI has done
Johnnys has lost out so much over the last decade or so cos they avoided SNS like the plague . I'm sure J&A is able to make a ton of more $ if they expand their resources overseas
I don't understand why they're missing this out , same thing with Sony Japan . Isn't making $ & profit the main thing that you go into business ?
Except if you're a charity then that's different

Turning Up digital cover
https://music.apple.com/us/album/tur...gle/1485847795
And Turning Up is included as part of the 65 songs that's now available digitally via numerous platforms
https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ar.../single-albums
Ohno's Kumori Nochi, Kaisei is excluded from the list
Turning Up PV is a very humorous video and for long time fans , there're quite a lot of easter eggs to spot in it
Song wise for now , I'm quite on the fence on it but it's evident Turning Up is quite Westernised
And Turning Up probably would have been a good fit in the LOVE album as LOVE also was Westernised sound wise and P.A.R.A.D.O.X is still amazing after all these years
