If you’re a fan of Japanese music and live outside of Japan, I would be so grateful if you take a moment to read this🙏
If you’ve ever wondered why more Japanese artists don’t reach out and do shows & tours overseas, the reason is pretty simple and the main one is the hurdle of selling tickets.
There is only a SMALL percentage of artists that can rely on the power of big labels/agents to promote their shows internationally.
Even in Japan, selling out shows is a lot more challenging than in past years, due to people just being satisfied with digital content. And considering it costs even more to bring a tour overseas, you can imagine how many artists are willing to LOSE money by doing so, if any.
It’s not just about the artist not being popular or sufficient enough, or that they don’t have the will to bring their content to fans around the world. In fact, there are so many fellow artists around me that I highly respect, telling me they wish they could do shows overseas, but know it’s not realistically possible, and as someone who yearns for the same thing, it really, really hurts inside.
More importantly, it hurts most that fans around the world will often never ever be able to see a show of their favorite Japanese artist.
I’m not trying to ask for pity, nor demand anything, unless this resonates with you.
But if it does, and you want to know what you can do to help us reach you with our music, it’s really very simple.
Please go follow artist’s socials.
Please go subscribe to their Youtube channels.
Please find them on Spotify.
Please interact with them by commenting and letting them know you’re there to support them.
Please share your passion with the people around you.
AND PLEASE, don’t miss the opportunity to buy a ticket and GO to their shows, when that miraculous opportunity comes, whether it’s a solo or event stage.
I am not exaggerating when I say it IS a miracle and it might never happen again.
I know writing all this isn’t gonna change much, but I just hope it reminds you that every listener, every fan, every second of support matters in keeping music alive, particularly in this generation.
Thanks for listening, if you made it this far🫶
Let’s keep Rocking On.

After the contract between Yui and Amuse Inc. was terminated, the most important question remained unanswered:
What is Yui's state of health?
However...
In the end, all that remains to be said is...
THANK YOU, BEST OF LUCK and FAREWELL

@VolynkinPV What I've been wondering since 2020 is ...
Why did Amuse Inc. delete Yui's most successful period from her bio 2 years after Babymetal?
She was known worldwide and under contract.
(You have to keep in mind that my screenshot is from 2020)
The contract between Yui Mizuno and Amuse Inc. has now been terminated.
Unfortunately, this doesn't come as a surprise to me.
In 2020, Amuse Inc. already removed the BABYMETAL era from Yui's bio!
#YUIMETAL#水野由結#YUIMIZUNO#BABYMETAL
AMUSE announced on September 30 that Yui Mizuno (aka YUIMETAL) had left the company, and the world of entertainment. The 26-year-old was a member of BABYMETAL from their formation until she left in 2018 because of poor health - she was also a member of Sakura Gakuin from 2010 to 2015. Since leaving BABYMETAL, Yui has been inactive in entertainment. https://t.co/wUVNAH3Wtj
