Philippine label plans on officially releasing J-pop albums in the Philippines
Philippine record label Universal Records Philippines posted something on their official Facebook page on May 30, 2011 which contains a link leading to the Kis-My-Ft2 fanpage. This was followed by another post that says if there are Kis-My-Ft2 fans in the Philippines followed by the question: Would u be interested if we release their album in the Philippines? We'd love to hear your honest thoughts.
Because of these, fans led to a speculation that the label will release J-pop albums in the Philippines very soon. On the same day, a poll on the label's fanpage was posted with the question: OKAY. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO TELL US. ARE U INTO J-POP, K-POP OR C-POP?, in which it received varying answers among Filipino fans.
The next day, the label posted: Unbelievable but true! J-pop fans have invaded Universal Records Philippines Facebook Fanpage!
It was followed by a note containing a message to J-pop fans that quote:
"To all J-pop fans. Thank u very much for all your comments & suggestions. We are overwhelmed and amazed by your love & passion for J-pop. We are still in the process of education & preparation just like how we prepared for K-pop in the past. These things cannot be done overnight and we beg for your patience & understanding.
Universal Records always takes pride in promoting our products, whether it's OPM or K-Pop. We take our job seriously that's why we are home to some of the biggest OPM artists (Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Christian Bautista, Nina, Jed Madela, Jay R, Parokya ni Edgar, Kamikazee, Sponge Cola, Noel Cabangon etc.) and to date we have accumulated TWENTY (20) Number One K-Pop Albums (based on record stores' album chart), which other record labels have tried to do but failed.
In 1995, Universal Records released two of the biggest J-pop acts (under Avex Japan) during that time - trf and Globe and for 2011 we are expanding beyond Korean pop. Watch out for more updates here in our Facebook Fanpage. どうも有難う .
Feel free to post anything about J-pop here in our Fanpage. We'd love to hear from u again."
