Avex Korea????

[tl1029530921]

Could there possibly be an Avex Korea??i think that would be really cool, cuz korean CDs are so friggin cheap..:-P.

They're working on it.

Avex is carefully preparing for the full liberalization of sales of Japanese music products in Korea. The licensing agreement with S.M. Entertainment is a key step in this process. Concretely, the two companies plan to initially seek ways to market instrumentals or songs without Japanese lyrics. Then as liberalization proceeds, the two companies will market music with Japanese words through S.M. Entertainment. The establishment of Avex Korea Inc. (provisional name) is also on the drawing board.The Korean partner would acquire a stake in this enterprise.

[CT_Cool]

Oh cool thanks for the infor..

Yeah y is korean CDs are so friggin cheap ???

[Coelacanth]

So that means Avex Korea could print dirt cheap Ayu CD's????? Hopefully, then **** Avex Taiwan...

Korean CD's are usually really cheap, I don't know why though...

[jkm444]

that would be great if there is going to be Avex Korea. I think that Korean cd are cheaper because the cd sales are really bad?? or is it because Korea is not an expensive place like Japan.

[bulmasman]

I'm not bothered about WHY Korean CD's are cheap, i'm just happy about it

An Avex Korea would kick ass though

[ayumi_pukka89]

wo0t! that would rock! omg! >.<
^^;;

[..:DisarO:..]

It sounds great!

[tl1029530921]

wow..that was published 3 years ago..:-/...wonder how long it'll take to establish it tho

[Naja_Akara]

Everything Google comes up with is from 3 years ago.

[Coelacanth]

This whole project probably sank... I mean with the recent *****ing about Overseas Ver. I doubt they would start to make Korean Ver.'s which are even cheaper... =_=

[JimmyKoria]

How cheap are korean cd's anyway? =\ just curious.

At YesAsia, BoA's "My Name" is like... what?... 9 bucks?

[AfanforXX]

SM TOWN handles avex's Japanese releases in Korea, just like avex handles SMs releases in Japan.

examples:
Japanese releases of shinhwa/SES/korean BoA releases are under avex
Namie's Love Enhanced, 181920 and STYLE have all been released in Korea under SM. Not to mention BoA's 3 avex albums.

there's no need for avex korea

[JimmyKoria]

9 bucks!? booyah. russian cd's are fairly cheap too, I got tatu cd for like 10 bucks, and american copy was 15.

[m-a-z-e]

Korean CDs are so well put together to and alot of really fancy photo books. I boght Kangta - Pine Tree the case is beautiful and it all folds out with a photobook and the CD has great sound quality..so why they're so cheap I don't know.. x.x Maybe it's because they don't have a big market?

[AfanforXX]

yeap, smaller market and Koreans make less money than Japanese people I think. So if a CD costs $$$ in general they probably will not buy them. At least that's my logic.

[hanabiwings]

Yeah, I think that's the case. I don't think they have much of a singles market, either. I only see albums from most Korean singers. I think I've seen a single from BoA, maybe, but that's about it.

ooooh Thanks for the info but I think ill stick to singles being pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~.. maybe albums could go korean... I dunno prolly stick to overseas ^^;
