JYJ’s DVD and album excluded from Japan’s Oricon Chart

JYJ fans have yet another issue on their hands, as it was recently discovered that Japan’s Oricon chart excluded JYJ’s album from its rankings.

Representatives of Oricon Chart reported, “JYJ’s ‘DVD Memories in 2010‘ and their album, ‘Thanksgiving Live in Dome Live CD‘, will both be excluded from the chart rankings.”

According to Oricon, the decision was made in deference to Avex Entertainment’s condition of distribution. The Japanese agency had claimed their contracts with JYJ to be invalid as of September 2010. Consequently, this halt on their Japanese activities brought up discussions of whether or not JYJ’s albums would be still distributed. Avex agreed to release the albums under the condition that the trio are prohibited from promoting and advertising their releases for monetary gain.

The albums were eventually released on March 2nd to “revitalize the market“, but Oricon explained that they would be excluded from the rankings chart since it is also a form of advertisement.

After hearing about the notice, fans have been expressing their outrage over the situation by leaving comments like, “It’s ridiculous that JYJ is being excluded from Oricon just because that in itself is advertising and promoting the album,” “Oricon is killing the reliability of their chart,” and “Is JYJ nothing more than a tool to make money for Avex?”

JYJ’s representatives speak out against “unfair treatment” from Avex & Oricon

On the morning of March 9th, JYJ’s representatives released an official statement regarding JYJ’s DVD and album being excluded from Japan’s Oricon Charts.

Through Star News, they revealed, “It’s ridiculous for Avex to block JYJ from promoting in Japan, and yet still claim rights over the sales and profits of JYJ’s albums.”

They continued, “It’s extremely upsetting that such situations continue to harm not only Korean fans, but Japanese fans as well, who are doing nothing but patiently waiting for JYJ to return. The artists were not consulted at all by Avex over the albums’ release. We hope that this matter is rectified immediately.”

“It is unfair treatment,” they concluded.

As long as they're getting their pay am content

AVEX is scarier, bigger and more influential than SME so idk how this will play out. They even have branch in Taiwan so it's possible that they can cockblock JYJ anywhere they have influence in. imo SME was quite loose with the cockblock in SK coz they're not as powerful as people make them out to be. All I can say is good luck to JYJ.

shady as fuck....

[dimensiongirl.livejournal.com]

This is ridiculous. Listing an album on a chart is not a form of direct or intentional advertisement, I can't believe Oricon is agreeing to this. And fuck you Avex!

[xfactorglory.livejournal.com]

SO I have this:

[ilovessyou.livejournal.com]

The fuck is this.
Seriously I am getting more and more accustomed to this it's not funny.
But honestly even if JYJ does not promote, you CAN'T DENY the fact that fans are going to look for them and buy their stuff.
Continue on cockblocking them but JYJ is going to have my share of wallet for the happiness and wonderful music they bring to me.

[xfactorglory.livejournal.com]

[childishgrin.livejournal.com]

Avex agreed to release the albums under the condition that the trio are prohibited from promoting and advertising their releases for monetary gain
Lol ok, so it would be allowed if they were promoting and advertising for... ramen gain then? Why else would you promote/advertise your 'product' you idiots.
