hope that it will work out eventually for them, Band Maid is one of those rare collectives, which u wanna support not just for their music, but for who they r as individuals, they deserve to grow huge!
Like you, I’m excited for them. They deserve to control their destiny. It’s well earned. I had no idea you guys met them and did an interview. I’m so jealous!!! Hopefully you can post it.
This is exciting news🎉
We need them to come back to Seattle!!🥰
I’m pretty sure this is Miku Kobato spearheading these new changes , her being the main busines person of the band with the backing of the rest. I would have paid anything to be a fly on the wall of that meeting when the decision was being done between the Maids ! 😊
I’m sure Kanami’s economic and business management degree came into the mix. The little genius and Miku probably had this planned for awhile. With Miku’s leadership, Kanami smarts, and Saiki merchandise input they will be successful.
I was there in NYC when you interviewed the Maids, waiting outside with everyone else. Heard about you all interviewing Band-Maid and really wanted to see the interview. Can't wait til you are able to share it.
I agree Alan, I think this will be great for them and us! And hopefully we will finally get to see that interview that we've been waiting to see! Thanks for your take on all of this. Kuruppo!
I think of that interview from time to time. I also would love to see it.
It's funny reading the comments. Management versus Record label. They aren't the same.
Exactly
I think also spending time with The Warning and seeing how Rudy and the management team treats, cares and gives freedom to the girls was like an eye opener, also writing Show Them was like a “you know what…” moment, lol I can just picture Kobato thinking about it
Good luck Band Maid! We ♥ & support you always! 😎
I'd love to see that interview! 🤞 Am jealous you actually got to meet them! 😳
We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! 🎀💝KANAMI TONO💝🎀 Composer, Guitarist, Performer, Role Model, History Maker -- Happy Birthday, Mincho! Thx, Alan!
Would be great to see your interview with Band-Maid 👍🏻
Thank you for the news. Now I know that a European tour is possible; where there was despair, now there is hope
Awesome news !
Band Maid arre so GOATED for me, happy for them and of all us fans since they just dropped ^^
I think Pony Canyon's push to be more relevant in the US/global entertainment market as reported in the Hollywood Reporter yesterday is as big a deal for Band-Maid as this switch to self-management is.
Good move BAND-MAID!
I really want to see that interview, and this was one of the first things I thought of when I heard the news.
Fingers crossed that the mythical interview could eventually surface! But most of all I'm glad for the Maids that they will have more control over their future.
Great info Alan. Thanks man.
So proud of these amazing brave ladies 🔥❤️
The Japanese Band-Maid fan t-shinji noticed on Sept 12 that Platinum Passport had re-branded as Evidem and Band-Maid was not on their webpage. Their webpage was very stripped down so at the time, maybe it just wasn't finished. I checked today and it hasn't changed. No mention of any of their acts. I also noticed today they had also changed offices. I don't know how many other bands they had besides Band-Maid. Passpo and Predia are long gone. They had Silent Siren who went on hiatus when their drummer left but Silent Siren came back recently. I remember seeing photos years ago of a Platinum Passport awards ceremony where Band-Maid got an award. There was a fair number of acts present, including a famous enka singer. It feels like they have done a big downsizing. Band-Maid might have had to find a new management company or found their own.
Originally, Platinum Passport was a subsidiary of Platinum Production, most of the members belong to Platinum Production. As far as I know, BAND-MAID is the only group affiliated with Platinum Passport after 2023.
This really makes the lyrics in "Show Them" more impactful. This means that they all have their skin in the game going forward, so I am all in on supporting these amazing young women.
I hope you saved it and can release the interview.

It has its positives but also comes with big risks being independent will mean more work outside of the music, or employing people to do that all. There are positives and negatives. Also doesn't mean that they will let people freely use their stuff either especially when it will be even more important to make money. But ultimately good luck to them I hope it pans out or at least makes enough money, most independents live off their local fanbase so more Japan tours will be more important, as if the world domination doesn't take off they will still be able to live comfortably.
Well it is a move not totally unexpected. A lot of the older Marketing companies analysed thevjapanese market in immute Details but they were absoluter risk averse. Babymetal had no real choicevthey simply were too big, when they were small but itbwas much easier to calculate for the world. They needed more potential Fans and on thevWorldwide scale it was much simpler to reach the necessary numbers.
Maybe we'll see more random covers on their channel? vlogs? more surprise collabs?
Well, I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Wishing all success to the ladies, they have certainly earned it. Scandal did something similar a few years back On Christmas Eve 2018 during their "Best Xmas 2018 Concert" at Akasaka Blitz, Scandal announced the formation of their own band-run music label "her". They describe the label as a platform for them to "freely explore" themselves and their artistry.
The management system in Japan seemed a bit dodgy to me. For example their mangement team was also their record label....rather a conflict of interest. Also, I saw an interview where Kanami said she wasn't able to use any of the old songs rejected by her record company, suggesting they had all the publishing rights and weren't letting her use them.
I applaud them for doing this, but they have to have some advisors working with them on this. I'm sure they have a good attorney, but Miku can't take on all of this personally and spread herself too thin. We want this to succeed.
From memory their management weren't happy with Akane throwing banana peels into the crowds. Despite the crowds being quite happy about it. Hope this lifts the shackles and they can have more fun and tour more countries...
I Love Band Maid soo much id even buy a Jazz Rock Album from them. for Like 13,99
It kind of feels like them moving from using other people's compositions to using their own. I might have enjoyed their pre-Alone songs, but they really developed their style and sound when they were able to write their own music. I'm hoping that this change allows them to really explore and develop how they want and not how a management company wants. It might be hard work and carry new stresses, but I can see this being a second blooming for them. It will be an exciting time to watch and listen!
They take their destiny in their hands. Their agency would have disbanded the group if not for the success of Thrill. It's a risk but they are courageous women and they have always overcome obstacles as they say. Kanami has a degree in Economics and Management and the others are also intelligent and resourceful. But they kept their chief manager and their agent. Weird. However, they are the bosses now. Let's continue to support them.
Hope you read my comment, I have a video suggestion to watch and listen to the video reaction of the song Janus - BimoPD.
Are you saying.... that a band of maids are trying to forge their own destiny so they can control their own epic narratives?
Cant wait for the whole interview.. even though it’s kinda late but worth watch
There are photos of Akane with Haruna (of Scandal) on her birthday. Must be sort of close. With Scandal creating the "HER" label, maybe got some pointers for "MaidIt".
Maybe other bands will sign with Maid it who have found themselves in similar situations .
I hate to say it but they need to get back to the sound of World Domination/Just Bring It/Early hits. The latest albums are chaotic.
This means Band Maid can finally go on MTV VMAs w The Warning
I think it's pretty much well known that the music industry in Japan can be very tight and controlling.
Breaking out on your own can be scary but ho so much more fulfilling.
Good luck girls we're standing behind you.
Perhaps going forward, their VIP experience will include meet and greets. I imagine the demand for that would be absurdly high.
Have any Japanese bands signed with an American record company? I think if Lava records would be great for them. Independent is great also.
I think usually that's what's called a "distribution deal." I.e., a Japanese label as a whole, or for an individual act, could negotiate a deal with, for example, Sony US or SubPop to distribute their material. There was a lot of that kind of thing with UK and US alternative groups back in the 80s and 90s so that they didn't have to be hunted down in a local record store's "Imports" section. I dunno how electronic distribution has impacted that, though.
The big American record companies all have Japanese subsidiaries, e.g. Universal Music Japan and Warner Music Japan. And Sony Music is a big American record company, except Sony is Japanese.
Perhaps Rudy had some influence?
That's actually an interesting possibility.
That’s gotta be extremely difficult to pull off in Japan, where the management companies control things almost as dictatorially as in s korea
How can a label prevent you from posting an interview video on the U.S.?
Management did not give permission for release
And to clarify, "management" and "the label" are generally two different things/ organizations.
And wasn't Bandmaid signed to their managers' record label......a major conflict of interest.
@@dicodec They kept the same manager and agent. This doesn't look good. But they are the bosses.
Could this mean they can tour other places now? They had this gimmick of world domination but they only perform in Japan and the US and a lot of fans from Europe and South America feel abandoned. So I hope that's the case
It's a gimmick due to your one-sided view. World domination can have many meanings and achieved in many ways other than just physically being in a certain place.
They went independent but with the same home page??
They JUST announced this and you're already ragging on them? Take a pill FFS. It's not like they don't have a lot on their plate right now. 🙄
@@billb.5183 I mean, if they annonced it, they should be prepared starting on Maidit's homepage including Cluppo.
Why would their home page change? It's a Band-Maid page, not a Platinum Passport (or whatever their name was changed to) site. I'm sure any mention of Platinum Passport will be removed and replaced with Maidit, but otherwise there's no reason to alter it.
What's so fun about that? Their agency abandoned them and now they have to fend for themselves.
They weren't abandoned, their contract expired. With 10+ years in the music industry I'm sure the Maids have a large number of contacts/resources willing to help.
Their previous agency was only managing them. All other talent had already left Platinum Passport.The contract between the band and the agency probably expired. I believe the former Platinum Passport has even separated from Platinum Productions. Now, instead of Band-Maid working for a talent management company, they will have managers working for them. More work and more responsibility, but also more freedom and potentially greater rewards. Also, this has no effect on their recording contract. That's completely separate and should continue just as before.
Great news for BAND-MAID.
Why have you bailed on The Warning? Their Pepsi Center Concert is Dropping songs every other day, and it's Freakin Epic!!! I Sub for The Warning, long time ago but since you drop them, I've decided to un-sub. I'll get BAND-MAID elsewhere.
Who said I bailed on the Warning?
@dicodec
Basically, Band-Maid is now similar to how The Warning are set up. The Warning are managed by Rudy and their dad.
@@americanswanI wonder what management things went on while The Warning were in Japan.
@@dicodechow many reactions have you done over the last 6 months?
Yea maybe there was some type of influence there
I found out about it on Ryan's TH-cam channel and rushed to open an email for Omeishu-sama.
I was wondering why he said he might be able to interview maids during their 2022 U.S. tour, but there was no report.
I'm hoping it will definitely get better.Po!
