But all of those are for the Premium Music option from youtube. Seems to be something they wanna push for 2019.
Yeah, that's unfortunate. It's BS.

Polsy is reporting that it is technically 'geoblocked' outside of Japan...but I could bet this is a combination of geoblock/paywall.

And I'm concerned this could spread to other labels - not just Avex - as well. Because of YouTube Music Premium. Seriously??? (Sony geoblocks all over again???)

I also had a conversation with a couple of my Twitter friends; here's what one said regarding the YouTube Music Premium issue recently:

"Sony does not sell its licenses as Avex has done in Asia. We have this problem with all DVD/BD with Avex SKE48 Members. There was even a ban on CDs. YT Premium is just a solution for this license problem."
