お願いがあるんですけど。。
May. 19th, 2012 01:32 pmhey guys~~
can you do me a favor?? pleasee~~
i am currently doing some kind of research for my assignment about "Fans Loyalty Behind the Success of Japan as The World Second Largest Music Industry" ..and i need to collect data from both Japanese and foreigner (for comparison). My goal with this assignment is to prove to people that Japan is and will still be Asia no.1 music industry, despite any downfall or new wave coming. I notice that not many people (esp. those who are not a fan of any Japanese musician) know just how big is the Japan's Music Industry. I guess it is due to the lack of information -such as a new PV of Japanese Musician on youtube, CD, or even concert held in many countries- but there are ways to know or to keep up with anything new happening in Japan regarding our fav. artist,. it's just Japan is so strict and exclusive that most people have a hard time trying to keep up. so, i wanted to know how the fans support japanese artist and keep making them no.1? what the foreign fans do to keep support their fav artist from Japan despite the difficulties?
if you guys have some time, and don't mind, can you answer these question for me?? ~pretty please...hehhee
1. where are you from?
2. where do you live?
3. how old are you?
4. are you a fan of japanese musician? if you are, can you tell me who's your fav?
5. if you are living in Japan, what do you do to show support to your fav musician? (ex: buy cd, concert, handshake, fan-meeting, and so on)
6. if you are living outside of Japan, what do you do to show support to your fav musician? (ex: go to Japan just to see them live in concert, buy CDs, photobook online, and so on)
i hope its not a lot to ask~~ and thank you for your time.. :D
