Long Time No Post
header

I do apologize for not posting in so long. t's a wonder I even know what's going on here anymore I'm on so rarely.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have seen the comedic farces of ads for Napster being run here. I know I've been trying to at least a year to get them to carry Japanese Pop Music, which to the best of my knowledge(I checked only a day ago) they still are not carrying. Talk about your misplaced marketing. Am I the only one who's asked Napster to carry J-Pop? Am I really the only anime fan out there who wants an easy means to buy songs in that genre? Those are questions I have to seriously ask myself since I'm not seeing any evidence that others are trying. If there are fans out there who, like me, are trying, we need to get together and show these people using legal terms to condone discrimination that it's not one or two crazy otakus who are bugging them with trivial things, but indeed a serious fan base that's willing to take our money elsewhere to get what we want if these two-bit hack outfits that claim "best selections" in music don't start living up to their false advertising.

On a related note, I've been trying to get soundtrack information from Bandai(details on series are not relevant), and all I got from them was information I already knew from online research. Things are not very good when a leading US distributer of anime materials tells a fan to buy the Japanese imports of the soundtracks, after being told twice that the fan can't shop online. Needles to say that was a wasted endeavor, and they won't comment at all on helping in the fight to get J-Pop and anime music heard on the DMS(Digital Music Service) medium. No one has any idea how long and hard I'm willing to fight to see this thing through.
