GOT7 & DAY6 will end their Japanese Fanclubs

[Moon Jellyfish]

I don't know what this may or may not mean for Japanese promos but this is surprising

Wait what? Is this a common thing?

On the top of my head, i can't think of any examples where fanclubs were closed, other than disbandment (doubt that ) or maybe not focusing on the market anymore?  Idk, maybe they're switching labels or something. At least in GOT7's case there's a few speculations but Idk about Day6

i doubt they will stop promoting in japan..

jype is probably about to launch something global like weverse.

 

So what is Weverse exactly? Some of the little tid bits of heard about it reminds me a bit of JYP fan's.

basically a fan community platform for all fans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weverse_(app)

can purchase fanclub memberships, live steaming, etc.

Ah thanks. Yeah, sounds like it has quite a bit in common with JYP Fans (though admittingly, it's been a long time since I've actually tried using the platform)

 

But yeah, maybe JYPE is hoping to set up a more user friendly fanclub system for Japanese fans or something

i doubt they will stop promoting in Japan since it's an easy yet huge moneymaker for JYP

and both groups have had pretty good results so far with their albums and concerts there

not TWICE/2PM levels but good enough to keep continuing

i think the fanclub membership just wasn't profitable enough to keep it 

and they would rather focus on the albums/concerts instead

Hmm that could be. Yeah at this point i have doubts that they are just going to abandon the Japanese market, unless it's said otherwise. I don't know about Day6, but GOT7 does pretty well or at least well enough in Japan to make activities worth while.

Update: According to BamBam theyll still do concerts but looks like no more Japanese releases ?

I wonder what those problems were with the contracts in Japan... well I mean... the japan releases were never really my thing but I still feel a little bad that they're dropping it just like that, poor japanese fans.

Is it the same for Day6? 

Yeah I'm curious as to what happened behind the scenes that causes some sort of contract disagreement? I never really kept up with their Japanese discography as much either. But it seemed like they were establishing some sort of footing lately, both in music and fanbase? If they add Japan dates to their regular tours, I suppose the one plus is that Japanese fans may see ot7 performing again instead of ot6.

 

Day6 confuses a bit as well. their last release I think was a best of album last year and I've been told their fanclub membership actually ended already. Their push in Japan wasn't as great as maybe GOT7's but then again, i don't think they were active that long either?
