Tetora, leave this music company. They are hurting you. They do not want you to grow in America. I do not like your music owners.

I think a lot of Japanese music companies are very conservative, concentrating on the Japanese market, because with music sales being a much lower proportion of the band's income these days, bands have to make their money from touring (and merch). A tour to the US or Europe is massively expensive for a band from the far east, and I think they just don't have the overseas fan base to make it feasible financially. The band members probably all have regular jobs, so they could only do such a tour as a working holiday. I really like Tetora, but they don't have the WTF factor that will get them noticed in the west, which is only interested in Japanese things if they fit the "crazy Japan" stereotype.

@@RevStickleback Sadly true of many good Japanese bands. Tetora's music is very pleasant for a non-Japanese audience but lacks that something special that would get them noticed. To market Japanese music to western audiences you either have to be sounding / looking unlike anything in the west or you have to do what they do in the west but better. Being signed to a western record label helps.

@@thomasrotweiler It is noticeable that they have far fewer English comments than many Japanese bands. There are some very small bands from Japan where nearly all the comments are English, which must be a bit confusing.
