Still more money than buying a stock photo.

Japan is a culture of traditions. Should we really deviate from the tradition of having a photomodel on SEBs covers? And is it really that bad?

No. I don't think so.

All it shows is that SEB/Avex is on the cheap, which everyone knew already. They won't pay for anything unless people give them more money. That is all Avex cares about these days so if you want to see better covers, give them more money. They don't listen to the fans, but they listen to money. I can assure you that.

They can't pay for anything unless people give them more money, because the sales money is all they have to work with. It's "all they care about these days" because that's how they feed, clothe and shelter themselves— and allow the EB labels to do the same to some extent. It's entirely possible that Avex is on the cheap not because they're skimpy or stingy, but because they're suffering as a label altogether— not simply that they won't, but because perhaps they can't.

They are part of the music business (the part that generates profit and revenue) so it makes an awful lot of sense for them to be concerned about the business. Not everyone who works at a record label is the stereotypical "fat cat" figure sitting on piles upon piles of money, especially if their label is no longer as profitable as it once was.

Thanks for saying that.

SEB isn't the best at letting people know which songs will appear where/when. I can say for certain that I didn't know a couple of Ken Blast songs appeared on SEB (or Initial D) until after the fact, so it makes sense for Sjoerd to not know.
