Music matters...

"We must buy original Music CDs as many musicians ain't making money."

I was thinking whether this is really true?

Why is it that there are more and more musicians as time goes by, who don't seem poor to me?

I believe it is true that CD sales are not as good as before, and musicians know that very well too. So how come the music industry is still doing so well?

If you look at Japanese music videos, they call them "Promotional Videos".
I think they have treated the music they produce as Promotional music towards their concerts/performance. Through Live performance, one can then see and feel the musician(s) true colors! Apparently, much editing is done during recording, thus musicians can cover over their mistakes with ease. While Live, they have to do it once perfect! Therefore, I suppose Music CDs serves as a "preview" to Live performance. Remember that there are no music CDs at all in the olden days and people only watch performance! Music CDs also serves as collections for the fans.

I mean nowadays major performance comes with at least 10,000 tickets! Compare to CD sales, earning through performance seems faster. Furthermore, musicians are then really doing something they like to do.

Nowadays there are more musicians doing acting, where they use their music in the show, which also acts as a promotion too!

In conclusion....

I strongly believe that in the near future, distribution of music will be completely legal ^__^!!!

タイヨウのうた Taiyou no Uta

I've just watched a Japanese movie called Taiyou no Uta (A song to the Sun) and wow...it's a really nice movie!

Very sad but sweet, inspiring movie!
It starred YUI, the singer. I've been listening her music before i watched that movie and now the movie had made me like her music even more! Simply her lyrics are awesome! Her voice is so so kawaii~~~ ^_^
It's about a girl that have this skin diesease that she cannot come in contact with sunlight, thus she only goes out at night. She writes music and perform on the streets at night. She met this guy who loves surfing and fell in love with him. However she cannot go out during the day right?
(should stop here....spoilers....)

YUI's singing plays a major role in the movie, making the movie so nice. Check it out if you got the chance ne!
