Oh.... I wanted to write about this earlier but forgot. A good friend and a fellow Kalafina fan informed me in Jan while I was in Japan that there have been some massive updates to
Kalafina's VEVO channel on YouTube. (
Thanks for the tip, buddy. :) )
And just as I was about to go to bed, I got another notification in my email that even more video clips have been added on the 6th Feb. :)
It's all pretty cool for us international fans because VEVO should be legit and it's not IP locked to Japan. :) THANK YOU!!!!!! It's a little late but it's a good start. I hope this bodes well for the future. Please stop IP locking these to Japan, Kalafina has a pretty big following outside of Japan and IP locking 15-30 second CMs and short version PVs makes no sense to me.
Perfume, KPP, Ieiri Leo, angela, Suiyoubi no Campanella etc have quite a lot of material that isn't IP locked to Japan. It's time that more and more Japanese music companies work out better licensing agreements that will allow promotional material to be accessible outside of Japan too. These are promotional material, it's meant to promote the music, so use it to promote the music to the world too, not just Japan.
Now I can actually share their MVs on Facebook, twitter and even on this blog without worrying about copyright restrictions. :)
Please, please, please do not IP lock future CMs and MVs so that I can help you promote their music without breaking copyright restrictions. Thanks!!!!! :)
Okay... now I MUST sleep. Good night!!!!
