Ayumi + youtube

DOLCE · #1 29th May 2008, 01:39 AM

Why does AXEX feel the need to basicly get rid of EVERY Ayumi video on youtube. Okay I understand if they would want to take off PVS/footage from concerts but there is no need to take off the other videos..especially live performances of her at various shows like HEYx3 and Utaban. What are they seriously thinking?

Someone needs to teach AXEX how to utilize youtube.

because avex <3 money.

Well they should learn to like post previews of songs/pvs, and why haven't they learned about veoh/daily motion yet?

AXEX

AXEX

They HAVE learned about Veoh. They had some of my Ayu videos there removed.

I don't get it either, it's honestly so stupid :| Other artists - Japanese and domestic/US ones - aren't pulled off of Youtube. And I wonder how Ayu videos are flagged and taken down so quickly D:

it's not just ayu, all of avex artists' videos have been removed, that's why i'm very careful when i upload videos, normally i'll type the tag under AyumiHamasaki or KodaKumi, all in a row, it's harder to trace. my videos can last there for a month.

A lot of times it's the tv station who wants it removed, maybe by request from Avex.

only crunchyroll left. ITS LIKE MY PV POD

@_@ if they find out about it. im so dead. i cant watch my M from a musuem anymore T^T

GRACE · #9 29th May 2008, 03:38 AM

Usually I don't include her name or the song titles when I post her videos >.>... It's not just Ayu, Avex or someone POUNCED on my BLACK DIAMOND PV and had it removed within a day of being posted.

Tom Punks · #10 29th May 2008, 03:39 AM

^ Then how do we find it? <<

GRACE · #11 29th May 2008, 03:41 AM

I abbreviate it. Like for my PV of Mirrorcle World, I called it ah-mw or the kiss o kill AT07 preformance, ah-kok. Or the rare case of the my name's WOMEN PV, which I titled my name's...

That's a great idea~
Can I subscribe to your vids?

Tom Punks · #13 29th May 2008, 03:42 AM

^ I just decided to look up ah - kok and I guess you're Animesama? ^o)

GRACE · #14 29th May 2008, 03:49 AM

XP Yep. Granted the three I named are all I got, it's easy to disguise the PVs like that, I remember Kingdom PVs for Kuu where disguised similarly, I think they're still up actually...

se7entheaven · #15 29th May 2008, 04:09 AM

ya i usually use crunchyroll ^^V

pommy48 · #16 29th May 2008, 04:11 AM

only crunchyroll left, i've uploaded like 145 ayu videos alone~i uploaded her pvs on veoh, but they got removed~

YouTube helps promote Ayumi, which brings in more profit - Avex should know this. YouTube also introduces Ayumi to international fans who have difficulty finding her products or have never heard her before.

That discussion is years old, but the record and movie companies still fight it. I doubt they'll ever realize the positive sides of pirating.

I must agree with that. To think that Ayu was never popular here in the Philippines (you won't hear anyone talking about Ayumi here often, only about BoA, Utada Hikaru, Yui and some more j-pop artists but never her.), the only way for her few existing filipino fans to know about her is the internet.

Popularity is important for a celebrity. If Ayu is popular almost everywhere, many more people will buy her products and more will come to her concerts as well.

*Totoo yun.
(*Thats true)

Filipino music cravings are mostly Westerners or Chinese type.
There are very few knew about Jpop except Ayu which is SELDOMLY talked or listened to her music.
They all know about Jpop music are from those "recycled" anime or Hikki-chan(Utada) or YUI or BoA. And that's it.

I felt that im the only Filipino fan for Ayu here in my country(But im not now!).

Anyways, it is really inportant to keep the PVs or LIVE performances on streaming video sites especially from YouTube so that many people will discover the GENUINE music from her.
Thank God that the CrunchyRoll DIDN'T REMOVE those!

Im still wondering why they remove those LIVE performances when its not from AVEX not from the TV station.
