re: kibouya honpo/himitsu kessha codomo A best-of re-releases
Hey guys~
I really don't want to start a flame war or some kind of long debate on the subject, but Eiji (the leader/vocalist/songwriter for both キボウ屋本舗(kibouya honpo) and 秘密結社コドモA (himitsu kessha codomo a)) just posted this on his blog, and I really felt like this is something fans of his/theirs should definitely read.

Reasoning in today's world
Toketsu Kuma has recently been receiving many e-mails recently that
apparently, my previous bands are releasing CDs?
Weeeeell...
I had no idea.
Did the other members?
I understand that it's just business
and many different things happen for different reasons,
but I just wish someone would've let me know.
I know it's the past,
but since this is our flesh and blood,
I'm angry, and also sad.
I really just wanted to say
that sanbun and Toketsu Kuma records
didn't have a thing to do with this.
I'm sorry.
*notes: Toketsu kuma is eiji's own label he formed after kibouya's disbanding, and sanbun is the abbreviation for サンドイッチで１２０分？, eiji's current band/project with takken.

I know there's probably some little translation errors, but those are the basic ideas.
The main reason for posting this is that, since both of these are re-releases, many people buy under the ideal of "supporting the artist", and I feel like it should be known that in this instance, you're only supporting the label, not the artist.
m(_ _)m thanks for reading.
