6th Station ~Other Bands for H!P Fans~

^ Didn't realize they still never replaced Mizuno Yui after all these years.

Anyway, speaking of THE FIRST TAKE, H!P needs to get one of their soloists on. It's practically a guaranteed million+ view event.

Fujifabric and frederic dropped a pretty fun collab:


(Missed opportunity to call themselves Fujifrederic or fredericfabric)

I'm a simple man. I see "frederic," I upvote

Sadly, the problem with that is THE FIRST TAKE youtube channel is run Sony Music Entertainment Japan, so they only invite artists who work under SONY.

They only help handle and distribute stuff for Upfront's Zetima label, not make music with UF's artists.

Ah, that sucks.

so they only invite artists who work under SONY.

Yeah artists under SMEJ and their subsidiaries definitely make up a large chunk of featured acts on there.

I had to Google what labels some of the latest artists were under just to make sure they aren't associated with Sony:

Stray Kids - Warner Music Japan
Ayaka - A stAtion (releases distributed by avex)
Kimura Kaela - Victor Entertainment
Higuchi Ai - PONY CANYON
PUFFY - Warner Music Japan
STU48 - KING RECORDS
Wednesday Campanella - Warner Music Japan
BREIMEN - Space Shower Music

So idk if I'd completely rule out an act from Up-Front on there, though the chances are still pretty slim.

YouTube randomly decided I would like this 25 year old Danish Eurodance song, because Japan, I guess? Damn you and your all-knowing algorithm, YouTube!
