The Okay Idea
Monitor
Black Shakes
Marble Guitar Case
The Shirts
Come to my Party
Shojyo Skip
Super Samir
Dan Jury
Squadcar
our hope would be to make a 20 - 30 track compilation of our strongest tracks which would best represent what`s going on here in Tokyo. Think Broken Social Scene. The good thing is that recording is relatively cheap these days. Promotion is not. That`s how you get a return on our investment too. World domination soon to follow of course.

Sounds great. What's going on? Any updates?

Hi Valentine Records,
What I meant was if you look at the public version of your artist page there's a "Last Update" date. When reviewing profiles people usually look at that date to see if the profile has been created and (well pretty much) abandoned.
Changing things on your profile does change that date (as does changing the songs that are available). I don't advocate needless changing just to keep the "Last Update" date updated, but there seems to be a lot of bands involved so updating the songs to rotate them through the bands involved would seem to be a good idea (ever few weeks for example).
You might consider doing something to attract the attention of believers, that might be inviting believers to come and listen and leave a message saying that they thought. Also try telling your fans about the project and see if they will buy a part.
If someone does buy a part I'd suggest dropping a PM to them to thank them for doing so (if for no other reason than it's nice manners). If you manage to get a few believers send out a monthly update on what's happening from your end. Sellaband can consume a lot of time if you have it but it doesn't have to. If you've got more than one person amongst the bands interested in pursuing this you can create a rota for Sellaband activity so it doesn't end up being one person all the time that does things here.
I've added you to my wish list and when I have a spare part again I'll have a look back.
Thanks
Shane
P.S. You might consider locating all of the Japanese believers of Riyu Konaka and Electric Eel Shock and see if they will believe if you (don't limit yourself to just Japanese believers though).

Hi All,
I normally wait 3 months before removing parts from inactive artists but with no sign of life after two days of creating the profile and then after that no sign of life at all I've pull one of the two parts. The other part will go on or after the 28th of next month. I hope you do become active again as I actually did like this music.
Thanks

Well it was a great idea but with no follow through I'm don't think that this will go anywhere. I believe that I'll end up taking back the parts next month without some sign of life.
