Question from a reader:
What do you think about the possibility of Miyama Ryouki leaving the group?
Thoughts on Miyama Ryouki’s Departure
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the possibility of Miyama Ryouki leaving the group. According to weekly magazines, he is reportedly “scaling back activities after the world tour,” so it seems unlikely that he would leave
immediately. As a fan, I hope to avoid surprising news like “Wait, is he really leaving just like that?”
About BMSG’s Contractual Situation
I’ve heard that BMSG has favorable contracts for their artists. It seems that transferring out is relatively easy, which would be quite appealing for artists. Especially when considering his career, it could be possible for Miyama to choose to leave. However, judging from the statements released by BMSG, it appears that he currently has no intention of departing. Recently, while working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I often handle contracts. I feel that artist contracts should be created with both parties’ interests in mind, just like any other standard agreement. It’s crucial to establish an environment where artists can freely express themselves.
My Personal Thoughts
This reminds me of a discussion we had in a university class about contracts. Everyone shared their opinions, and we seriously talked about how “contracts should not be one-sidedly disadvantageous.” During that conversation, a friend made me laugh by saying, “But contracts are complicated, so isn’t it fine just to have an agreement for when we get paid for our part-time jobs?” That stuck with me. Regarding Miyama’s future activities, I want to keep a supportive eye on him as a fan. No matter what decision he makes, I plan to continue cheering him on.
