However, it is already available on Youtube, the video for their new single "Phoenix".
▶ Last thing, for a project started by the group called "Crowd Funding".
Crowdfunding is a word assembled by word "crowd" and "funding". In order to get enough money for developing products or service and realizing their ideas, creators raise money or association from the public on the internet.
In recent years, it is not only social welfare, medical and technology need have been solved by Crowdfunding, but also become a way of supporting those hidden talented artists and help them get attention from the public and successfully supported several live and CD production projects of many artists.
This is the message of members about project:
"Rewinding the past from the celebration of 10th anniversary of our band, we are questioning today’s formalized pattern of recommending fans to buy several copies of a same workpiece for the ranking on music charts, which goes too far from the essence of being an artist, as it should be delivering good music to the public. What's the most important thing for bringing good music to people? What's the reason of being indie artist and starting this project? Aren't there any ways to repay those who have always been supporting us? And we get only one answer, "Crowd Funding", from our gropes. To redefine the relationship of artists and the listeners who support them, we start our new challenge from knowing nothing as our first step to be what we want to be. Although a small beam of light seems to be dim, but when gathering together it becomes bright light. Would you please give us a hand? From A9 members"
This is the links of reference for those who want to join the project, that is available in both English and Japanese.
