Serene state of mind

You might get suspicious that I place this on "Music 10-line" instead of "Favorite" -but just read it.

Shou Kiryuuin (Vo-karu) and Yutaka Kyan (Gita-) started this band, and later, Jun Utahiroba (Be-su) and Kenji Darubissyu (Doramu) joined, and those four members consist this band now.
Part names are not spelling errors but their official transcription.
At first, they were a common rock band, but Yutaka had a hard time improving his guitar performance, and attendance remained restrained.
One day, Shou suggested Yutaka flamboyant action performance instead of guitar solo.
This attracted audience a lot, and since then, they've raised in popularity as "air-band" -or a performance group who don't play musical instruments on stage.
Then, considering the fact mentioned below, you might think that they are the last ones I place on "Favorite" or this weblog -that's right
-Until I took interested in them and changed my mind when they launched out into a challenge with this single:

These days, more and more CDs are sold with benefit such as tickets for handshaking events and special concerts, or with pluralized types, to stretch sales.
They are also the ones who do so.
But when they made a release of a new single "Laura no kizudarake" (covered all over with scars of Laura), they declared that they were selling only music.
No prize, no benefit like special event tickets, and they even removed artworks of jacket; just plain white jacket.
One of the three songs in this single was used for an advertising jingle of a karaoke chain, though.
They were prepared that the sales would drop to one-fifth of the former single.
As a result, the sales exceeded their estimate in the first week.
I don't deny an opinion that distribution would be enough if they want to sell music itself only.
But if the fans bought the former single and didn't buy this single, they might be called into question what they expect from buying CDs...
I suppose many of the musicians I've placed on "Favorite" desire to appeal and sell their music itself, but even such musicians are forced to make sales strategies such as DVDs and special booklets coming with limited edition, special event tickets for fans who buy several CDs, and so on.
Golden Bomber and their label side deny that their intention was antithesis or criticism against someone else.
Even so, as a result, this challenge caused a stir in recent situation of music industry in our country, however...
I appreciate the significance of this challenge, but I confess this was the very reason why I was all the more disappointed that the song they performed at year-end special music programs was not this song but "Memeshikute"(effeminate), their synonymous song
-While I understood that publicity is more important for the state-run program, of course...
Later, Shou mentioned on his weblog that they wish they could perform the latest song on annual Year-end Grand Song Festival.
