Touyou Keizai (TK) Deep Inside sat down with SKY-HI to talk to him about managing his company, BMSG, and his views on the state of the Japanese music industry.

A two-part video was shared on Touyou Keizai's YouTube channel on December 27 and 28, 2024 respectively, with the overall interview being approximately one hour and 27 minutes.

In Part 1, SKY-HI shares with TK Deep Inside the state of the Japanese music industry, what is BMSG doing differently, the success of D.U.N.K., and how BMSG will tackle "the world".

In Part 2, SKY-HI goes into a bit more detail about what the atmosphere at BMSG is like and how he communicates with his employees. He also shares some information on No No Girls, the newly established label – Bullmoose Records, and ends with him sharing with viewers his dream for BMSG in the next five to ten years.


Note: Some of what he discusses in Part 1 of TK Deep Inside overlaps with what he shared on the WBS Economy News Academy interview. If some things are familiar, it is because they are pretty much the same questions, phrased differently, lol.

Enjoy!

Translated from Chanmina's interview with Billboard Japan, posted on August 15th, 2024.

Chanmina, audition theme song “NG” is a song of fight & responsibility, “I’ll pull you through”



Several months have passed since Chanmina and SKY-HI, backed by BMSG, teamed up to hold a girl’s group audition, “No No Girls”. The audition show is finally going on air this October. “NG”, the theme song for the audition, was released as a digital single on August 9.

Singing to a dope track and realistic lyrics, this song could be considered as “another story” to Chanmina’s masterpiece, “Bijin”. Why was the song chosen and what kind of feeling was put into it? Furthermore, what will the audition be like? We asked Chamina, who is going through a life changing stage after announcing her marriage and pregnancy, as well as her thoughts on the song and the audition so far.

What Chanmina seeks is the “real deal” with a soul



Chanmina’s latest song, “NG” has been released digitally.

“NG” was written as the theme song for “No No Girls” a girl group audition project in which Chanmina teamed up with BMSG, with Chanmina acting as the producer [of the audition].
This hiphop number, produced by JIGG, has a shaper message than her hit, “Bijin”.

Ongaku Natalie interviewed Chanmina, who just announced her marriage to ASH ISLAND and her pregnancy. We asked her about her new song, “NG”, and her thoughts on “No No Girls”, due to start airing in October.
