JYJ is currently out looking for a new partner in Japan to support its promotions in the country.

According to many media outlets in Japan, following its triumph in a long and winding legal case against its Japanese agency Avex in January, JYJ has received many love calls from pretigious local record labels.



One outlet reported, "Despite the fact that K-Pop′s popularity is at its lowest in Japan, JYJ can still make profit with its strong fan base. The group can draw audiences with its live performances."

A local official stated, "Large agencies have been sending offers, but we believe one agency is already a strong candidate."

A rep from C-JeS Entertainment told enews, "It is true that following the winning of the suit, the group has been meeting actively with Japanese companies. It′s been holding many talks to look them over carefully and strike a deal with a trustworthy and stable partner."

On January 18, the Tokyo District Court denied Avex the right to claim exclusive management rights over JYJ′s Japanese activities. It also ordered Avex to pay compensation of 660 million yen (approx. 7.8 billion won) to the group as well as 1 million yen (approx. 11 million won) to the C-JeS Ent. rep on defamation claims.

Anyone has any idea of Japan's music industry and wanna share which one they think it'd be better? I can't wait for Japanese activities/releases, PLEASE. (since we are obviously NOT getting them in Korea.)

Based on others' comments, Pony canyon seems to be the obv choice since universal Japan handles mostly sm acts

They need a company that's both powerful, but also gives them freedom and doesn't have a link with SM/Avex. So Universal (SNSD) and EMI (SHINee) are out of question. And Johnnies have very strict rules (also Avex seems to be distributing their albums in Taiwan and Hong Kong) so maybe not j-storm either. Maybe Pony Canyon?

They are sort of SMish in many aspects.

Pony canyon is the most logical choice at this point.

I actually hope they sign with jimusho just so they could have power backing them. But jimusho and JYJ's style doesn't go together.

Jyj can actually sing. No shade to johnnnys but I prefer them as actors over singers.

I mean in terms of promotions. JE is a very powerful company that handles male idols. But JYJ signing to JE is like them going back to SM.

Yep. They don't fit je anyways since they're Korean and kitagawa prides je as wholly japanese (or some nationalist bullshit)

Johnny's have a fair amount of half and straight up foreign guys though.

MTE. The only good thing that would've come out of JYJ signing w/ JE is that JYJ would definitely not get cockblocked in Japan.

But yeah, JYJ will never sign w/ JE and JE will never sign them. And there goes my dream of seeing JYJ in Arashi's variety shows. And more Jaejoong/YamaPi interactions.

Jae and JE idols interaction on TV would be like a spazz fest.

Adding to what hina said, Pc is the third biggest major label in japan afaik. These guys aren't going with an indie bc they still have the star power and are immensely popular in japan.

Lol and that's why pc is a logical choice.

Thanks for clarification. ^^

I don't think the fact that SNSD are signed with Universal would be a problem though? D: It's not like they can back out of their contracts if they decide to sign JYJ.

Universal also has deep ties with avex (especially when it comes to promotions and concerts) though so it'll get complicated

Pony Canyon.... JYJ fans have heard rumors about this since December. That's about the time Cjes is said to have began discussions with Pony Canyon and they're supposedly set to sign the contract in March. So we'll see!

Pony Canyon really seems to be the most likely. But at this point, I just want JYJ back in Japan, releasing Japanese songs, being able to promote, and doing concerts freely there.

From: [identity profile] mrsxiah1612.livejournal.com
yes please! and about JE i agree with most people. wishing them to sign with JE so that they got the most power but again IMO JE is like the bigger SME and that in no no.
i just wish jyj can appear in arashi show.
