What kind of releases do you like?
 

Well I really didn't know where to put this since it's not an Asian music poll since it's not really talking about the music, so please move to the right place~~

Japanese/Korean releases is singles before albums
Chinese is many different versions of one album like CD+DVD, CD+concert, CD+DVD+one extra PV, plus different goodies for each version, etc.
American is one album about every 2 or 3 years

I'm just talking about generally~

Japanese releases...

I never understood chinese releases xD They already release an album but weeks later i see the same album advertisement but this time there are some extra stuff in it like a new PV and a different cover >_>

I think I'd go with Japanese releases.

I like how there's singles before albums. ^^

Japanese...

I once bought an album of Fergie, The Dutchess, and I knew every song out that. But then there came singles out like Big Girls don't Cry and Clumsy.. and I tought: Ha? Hey! Those are from the album before.

The way like Japanese are doing this is really good. And maybe also better for money...


Anyway, sorry for my ... strange english

OMG I so agree with xLuna&1LOVE

Fergie released The Dutchess like a 2 years ago, but yet she is still releasing singles from that one album. Why promote an album that you released two years ago?

Japanese singers release much better, it's simple and easier to follow.

def Japanese/Korean

you wouldn't see me buying singles after an album releases , it just doesn't make sense to me

Japenese/Korean
seriously, they make american artists seem so lazy

Japanese Releases are the best :D

Japanese/Korean releases.

American releases take too long and I would hate buying a Chinese CD ony to have a version with extras come out some time later.

Japanese/Korean.

i like how they market their items and i like all the extra goodies that come with it. i also like the idea of releasing singles prior to an album.

Japanese releases, 'nuff said XD

i'll go with japanese/korean release.

western music's single is release after the album released, i dont think i will have the "feeling" to buy the single since it is released in an album.

Japanese/Korean

Japanese/Korean

I find Chinese release a bit too much. It's the same album and they purposely made it into many versions by adding new stuff, releasing it a few weeks later, AGAIN N AGAIN.

it's irritating to see the same album got promoting all the time. -_-

It's jus my opinion la..

jpn..sometimes i wish american singers can release their stuff the jpn way! T__T
but the jpn way is soo costly, if youre lik willing 2 buy everything in a jpn artistz discography, ur gonna use sooo much money. though it can get kinda annoying when someone releases new stuff TOO often..
its just COMMON sense 2 release singles b4 album releases -_________-

japanese way is the best

Japanese!

not korean though... yuck xD

Japanese/Korean to me.
but i also like the chinese "system". then you will get probably some extra goodies :yes

Def the Japanese way

Japanese

Japanese/korean release. they are more profitable and we wont be bored like to see the whole song which already in album popped up after couple months after the album or more than 1 year =.=

I love how the Japanese/Koreans do it. That's how it should be done everywhere really....

Japanese/Korean. Because you never really get tired of an artist. When an artist releases an album suddenly after a long time I tend to lose interest in that artist and eventually refuse to listen to the whole album (that may not be the case for all American artists)
Plus, I love the idea of First Press goodies! It shows they really care about physical sales too, unlike American releases, which basically rely manily on downloads.

Japanese. Koreans are a bit annoying too since they released another version of the new album after some weeks/months >.>

err.... Japanese/Korean,...

American just doesn't make sense to me~~

Japanese!!! It would be terrible to wait one year to hear an Ayu´s new song...

Japanese or Korean!

Though, if I bought a Chinese CD, I would get the FINAL EDITION, like say it's the 5th edition, i would buy that one cos you get the most goodies with it XD

Japanese releases! :yes

Japanese but not korean they call every releases comebacks which is just dumb.

only japanese

I wouldn't say japanese are the same as korean. :shakehead

^ I wouldn't either now, but since I made this poll a year ago and I didn't really follow Korean music back then...so yeah :laugh

definitely japanese/korean.i rather to spend money on single than buying multiple version of those chinese albums

I like japanese releases but also american releases. :D I don't know why american, but for some reason I feel that the latter way of releasing stuff is also good. :D

I prefer the Japanese system myself... But that's just me! :laugh It's more effecent! ^_^

JAPANESE! all the other releases didn't get any vote

Japanese/Korean

Japanese/Korean

Japanese/Korean is the only system that makes sense.

Japanese/Korean definetly. I hate this: "yeah I earn so much money that I haven't to work anymore. I think I will release my next album in 20 years!"

^ Considering how after releasing an album, acts go on tour and inbetween they also work on songs for the next album, I wouldn't call the American acts lazy.

Personally, I prefer the American way.

At first, I liked American/Canadian (have to add Canadian for some Canadian artists do it as well) releases. Then, I discovered Japanese releases which make sense.

I much prefer Japanese releases. A great example of why I don't care for the way American releases are done is Katy Perry. She is still releasing singles from Teenage Dream when it came out two years ago. By the time singles are released from an album in America, I'm sick of the song and so are most people who purchased the album. :headache

^ That Katy Perry chick is still releasing singles from "Teenage Dream"? Goes to show how in tune with American music I am. :P

I voted for Japanese/Korean. I just like their pacing with releases and quality overall. Of course there are a few exceptions.

Japanese/Korean, definitely

LOVE the way the Japanese do music!

Japanese

Japanese. I like singles released first.

I prefer the Japanese style of releasing. Releasing the singles prior to the album builds up anticipation and offers a glimpse of what the album will sound like. The American way seems so backwards and the repackaging of albums in Korea irks my nerves.
