You mean explain the record contract, well I'll try I'm not an expert, but it work's like this : a Manafactured band, is put together via a record label, like those working for Johnny's entertainment and SM, everything is done for them, they just sing the song's, so all the profits and royalties go to the record label and the writers of the song, same as the name, if a product containing the name Kat-Tun for example is produced, becouse the record label own the band's name, they get all the money the band get nothing. But a band like L'arc en ciel, write all there own song's and music, so they get all the royalties, the record company recieve a percentige for the work they do, unless Laruku have signed over the copyright of there songs to the record label, which is highly doubtful, also they own there own name so any product produced with there name, they get royaltie for also, plus they are paid for TV, radio and magazine aperances. It all depend's on the type of contract they have and who own's the copyright. It's another reason why Laruku only apear on TV shows they want to, becouse they don't have to do what the record company tell's them and why they go on tour when they want to and do solo work when they want to, they are there own boss, the record company just produce the recoed and deal with advertising it,.um I'm not good at explaining U2 have this kind of contract and from what i have observed with Laruku, they seem to be on a similer kind of deal, the largest percent of the sale's go to the copyright owner ^^

Thank you very much.
I have a few questions though :
Johnny's entertainment--> hu ? what, who is it ?
About the name of the band. How can I own mine so as to get money from every goodies...?
I know you're not a expert, but it's okay. Just try to help me like you did.
Finaly, do you know if a new singer can have this kind of contract easily ?

I think Gackt, Luna Sea, X... all have contracts like that.

If anyone has information about it, comment please.

It is quite cramped into a brief space. But I bet everyone get the message loud and clear. ^^
That was a thorough explanation. Subarashii!! (eng: splendid)

oh, I've read the interview sub link you gave, planethyderainbow. It was a funny one. Thanks for sharing the link here.

@lordedwood: Johny's entertainment is where recently formed japanese boybands come from. I'm too old for boybands, I couldn't even careless to figure out which are johny's and which boys are not.

OMFG!!!!!!! ^----^
where can i buy a japanese magazine like this?? i want only one...

well almost all of the goodlooking boys out there nowadays are from JE. anyway thanks for the link ehnkei!! haven't seen you for a while here. ogenki desu ka?? and gackta nice seeing you here again!! too bad I dunno where to buy the mag gomen

haven't seen larukuneko,larukumaniac and all the other peeps here too..

Thanks ehnkei for the link! You rulez!

And wow, old names reappear! How'dy to you all.

@ Gackta: there are several ways i know:
1. ask someone you know who lives in Japan (preferably in big cities) to buy the magz for you.
2. Internet order the magazine (amazon.jp? haven't checked them, but maybe amazon.jp has the magz).
3. Is there any japanese bookstore in your place? Like Kinokuniya, you can order the magz through such stores.

but that would be very pricey

just finished watching the MSSL. I have to admit tetsu does look a little down.. what might be the possible reason?? because that's their last performance as laruku? since hyde is having a tour so their next group project might be around 2008? or never? (I'm only kidding on this part)

maybe he just lacks some sleep...

poor tet-chan..

*edit*

gomen minna!!!
remember the winter fall cover i uploaded several pages back..?
it's not nami tamaki.
