Ayumi + youtube
 

Why does AXEX feel the need to basicly get rid of EVERY Ayumi video on youtube. Okay I understand if they would want to take off PVS/footage from concerts but there is no need to take off the other videos..especially live performances of her at various shows like HEYx3 and Utaban. What are they seriously thinking?

Someone needs to teach AXEX how to utilize youtube. :headache

because avex <3 money.

Well they should learn to like post previews of songs/pvs, and why haven't they learned about veoh/daily motion yet?

:gunAXEX:eviltongu

I don't get it either, it's honestly so stupid :| Other artists - Japanese and domestic/US ones - aren't pulled off of Youtube. And I wonder how Ayu videos are flagged and taken down so quickly D:

They HAVE learned about Veoh. They had some of my Ayu videos there removed. :(

A lot of times it's the tv station who wants it removed, maybe by request from Avex.

only crunchyroll left. ITS LIKE MY PV POD :D @_@ if they find out about it. im so dead. i cant watch my M from a musuem anymore T^T

where can i watch HEYx3 nowadays manxzxz :(

Usually I don't include her name or the song titles when I post her videos >.>... It's not just Ayu, Avex or someone POUNCED on my BLACK DIAMOND PV and had it removed within a day of being posted.

^ Then how do we find it? <<

I abbreviate it. Like for my PV of Mirrorcle World, I called it ah-mw or the kiss o kill AT07 preformance, ah-kok. Or the rare case of the my name's WOMEN PV, which I titled my name's...

^ I just decided to look up ah - kok and I guess you're Animesama? ^o)

XP Yep. Granted the three I named are all I got, it's easy to disguise the PVs like that, I remember Kingdom PVs for Kuu where disguised similarly, I think they're still up actually...

ya i usually use crunchyroll ^^V

only crunchyroll left, i've uploaded like 145 ayu videos alone~i uploaded her pvs on veoh, but they got removed~

YouTube helps promote Ayumi, which brings in more profit - Avex should know this. YouTube also introduces Ayumi to international fans who have difficulty finding her products or have never heard her before.

That discussion is years old, but the record and movie companies still fight it. I doubt they'll ever realize the positive sides of pirating.

That's a great idea~
Can I subscribe to your vids? :D

I had made a lot of fanvideos of Ayu before and most of them got pulled within a month of being posted. After I got the message "This video has been removed because of Avex copyright infringement" I decided to take all of them down to avoid being suspended. :(

lol i got banned once for uploading her pv's :mini

keep on creatively fighting the system, guys - though i hope it doesn't land you in trouble...

Ah.. it is nonsens from Avex to delete such Videos. You can see it on TV (if you can watch japanese TV) and pay nothing. So.. they can not earn anything with that videos. So.. it makes no different, if the Videos are on Youtube or not. (-.-)'''

it's not just Avex , Sony BMG/DefSTAR is also like that too !

I uploaded live performances of Ken Hirai on youtube & almost everyone of them got taken down due to copyright infringement :grumpy

*Totoo yun.
(*Thats true)

Filipino music cravings are mostly Westerners or Chinese type.
There are very few knew about Jpop except Ayu which is SELDOMLY talked or listened to her music.
They all know about Jpop music are from those "recycled" anime or Hikki-chan(Utada) or YUI or BoA. And that's it.

I felt that im the only Filipino fan for Ayu here in my country(But im not now!).


Anyways, it is really inportant to keep the PVs or LIVE performances on streaming video sites especially from YouTube so that many people will discover the GENUINE music from her.
Thank God that the CrunchyRoll DIDN'T REMOVE those!


Im still wondering why they remove those LIVE performances when its not from AVEX not from the TV station. :(

I stopped using YouTube for anything Japanese, because well... it's crap.

If you want to see Ayu's videos and EVEN MORE. Go on www.dailymotion.com, make a search for Ayumi Hamasaki and you'll find LOTS AND LOTS of her videos, and more. I viewed a lot of small parts of her concerts, making of on there, and also some videos fan recorded when she was in Paris, signing autographes.

That sucks. AVEX should try and break the online market, otherwise they'll lost out on sales in the end :P

Hope they never find AHS!!

because if pvs can be watch via youtube, no one would be buying cd+dvd version :laugh that's 10usd gone each :P

well, i suppose they already know about it..

no, i don't think that you re right. In Youtube you will not get PV in such good quality as dvd.

Let's write letter to AVEX!!!!!!!

and than they close ahs O_O ^

okay just kidding. but man. i dont mind :3

but even if they upload the video on youtube. I'LL STILL BUY THE DVD. cause its. ayumi >_> and and i want to OWN it. HAHA

Youtube doesn´t help to sales... Lol

Then why can't they just upload previews/CMS promoting the product @_@?

It sucks if a new fan or just anyone is looking for videos on Ayumi and all they find are random karaoke videos and Ayu forgetting the lyrics to Voyage :irked

they have alsom pulled most of Boa's videos off too

well..a friend of mine, she studies psychology said me that Japanese people
tend to develop a personality with paranohia...maybe thats the anwer for the AVEX obsession LOL

HAhahaha XD. Maybe.. :P

Are you the person who asked that on my Youtube???

Someone asked why they could only find People singing Ayu's songs and not the REAL PV's.. I answered because Avex pulls em... hmm
