I have a question regarding Johnny artists
 

Hey, i've been quite into Johnny acts lately (News, Kat-Tun, Tegomass...) and i've been collecting their albums and stuffs on cd japan, amazon and yesasia. i noticed that none of the JE artists have their album covers displayed on those sites, just a picture with their names. Even with magazines covers they also have to delete the singers faces. Is there a prohibition on using JE artists picture or something? Can someone explain to me? Thanks so much in advance.

Simple...it's because JE has a policy which says that no pictures of their artists are allowed to be published outside of the official JE-page.

I think it clears this thing up! :yes

Oh dear god, JE is crazyyyyy. Are they living in a cave or something? No pics mean no promotion these days. I hope someone hack into their server and bring all the photos out in UHQ
Thanks so much midori chan :x

Haha~~ :laugh

There are so many communities (mostly on livejournal) who provide HQ scans of CD/DVD-covers, magazines and booklets, so it's not like there is a real problem! :D

But of course it's kind of unnerving when you can only see small previews of - say - covers for new singles on the official page and have to wait until somebody shares scans of their versions!
