Informative things and some not
Kpop idol/group debut demographics and history
Jpop version
But who care about that, because homg apparently those slave contracts make bank for the pretty ones. Shisus, no wonder their music is shit nowadays. It's the least important part of their career, financially.
Okay, now I'm depressed. Quick, distract myself with the awesomeness that is Mouretsu. PV preview and covers! Reni can ride her bike with no handlebars.
As "technically," Momoclo are also signed under UMJ along with SNSD,(as is SDN48) this proves that record label means nothing in terms of production in Japan, and it's all about the management companies. So those covers and what looks like a kick-ass PV(with footage during the song, so none of that "this will be the intro into the dance shot only" bullshit) should be chalked up to Stardust/3-B Jr., and the RDR/Mr. Taxi/Bad Girl PVs should still be blamed on SMEnt. Now I wonder what SNSD under Avex would have been like, as they're one of the exceptions to the management =/= record label thing.
