Did Avex Strike A Deal With U.S. iTunes Again?

Sorry if I'm late/it's AP (I couldn't find it), but is there a deal for American iTunes and Avex again? I see all of Ayumi Hamasaki's albums available for purchase right now!

I careless about her albums. What about Kumi, Namie and TVXQ's?

I see Namie's on there, too! I see Queen of Hippop and PLAY.

 

Edit: TVXQ are on there as "touhoushinki."

They didn't strike a deal, they can put them on and off again as they wish just like everyone else.

A record label has to strike a deal to do that due to the bulk of songs they'll be uploading.

They come and go every few years, like Peter Pan said.

They didn't seem to upload anything new this time, but usually when they come back around, AVEX starts uploading new albums slowly. I need Love Songs on iTunes so I can FINALLY have "Virgin Road" on my iPod.

 

In other news, AKB48's first album is no longer on iTunes :omgwtf: They better be uploading "UZA," "Gingham Check," "Heavy Rotation" and the likes soon enough.

Kumi's and Namie's albums are there, but not all of them

Is that really true? If it is then I guess that's why Slavex never puts stuff on iTunes internationally

 

Anyway this is news from two weeks ago and I didn't care to post about it here since buying the physical albums would be cheaper for you than to buy the digital and only the shitty releases are up there

Just get the album, with iTunes bizarre prices nowadays, it's about the same to buy the overseas version of a Japanese album. Or just download the album at JMP3 or something like that, you get the exact same product, only you are not paying for Apple's CEO's 6th villa

Avex screwed J-Pop. If they would have allowed Ayu to reach out globally in the early 2000s (especially in Germany), she probably would have had a huge WW presence.

 

And I Am... is up there. It's always news-worthy, tbh.

I have iTunes gift cards like no other. White aunts LOVE to give them as Christmas/birthday/etc. presents. I have racked up $100s of dollars there from getting $15 gift cards from each aunt like 3 times a year LOL
