The agency representatives were also asked how they’ve been dealing with the changes they’ve had to go through due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One representative stated, “Our concerts have been canceled and album promotional activities are difficult as well. We’ve been continuing activities through ‘on-tact’ channels, but I think it would help to get additional support to rent venues or produce larger scale content.” Another individual stated, “The industry is facing many losses, especially small and medium-sized agencies. Compared to larger agencies, there are limits to the scope of advertisement and activities we can do, and we don’t have systems set in place for online concerts, so we hope the government will help provide a realistic support system.”

The representatives also discussed how there is a need to set industry standards for charges when it comes to using online platforms. One person noted, “As digital music and online concerts continue to take up a bigger portion of our revenues, there is a need to set better standards for reasonable profit division for online content. Currently, distribution companies and platforms take too much of the profits.” There were also hopes that the government would help support the establishment of global online festivals and other online promotional activities.

Although many things have changed, the representatives were cautiously optimistic that events would slowly resume as long as social distancing and other health measures were upheld. One representative stated, “Although it is sad that there are less opportunities for artists and fans to meet in person, the caution we are currently taking is the right thing to do as this is an emergency situation. I hope that many people in the industry will come together to come up with various ways in which fans and artists can continue to connect through ‘on-tact’ routes.”
