Thread Starter | Offered a deal in Japan, need some advice ! Hi, One of the largest independent record companies in Japan has contacted me about my talkbox tracks. I have made a couple of talkbox albums. They want to release a 'best of' from my two albums. I currently selling cd's via cd baby. And have signed to there digital distribrution. Ie via Itunes, US, UK and Japan. But this will be a new best of album! This is the first offer outline: Advance: 2,000 USD (requires Residency Certification) Royalty: 18% of wholesale price Term: 5 years exclusive Territory: Japan only (including digital distribution rights in Japan) (requires Residency Certification) Not sure what this means ? Proof of address ? If I take the advance i wont get paid until they recoup the 2000 usd? I guess i will have to contact to Cd baby, and tell them to stop selling the tracks which will be on 'best of' album via Itunes Japan ? Thanks for any help, im confused. Hopefuly i havent confused you ![]() If anyone has any thoughts please share !!.. . . . .

| Lives for gear | looks about right. I'd take the deal and see what kind of travel they'll throw in for "promotion". ultimately, you'll do better on an expense paid trip to Japan than you will on the advance - but life is for living. given the way things are, If it were me, I'd waive the advance for the "promotional" trip. tokyo is awesome. maybe you'll develop a following there. the japanese are slow to make any deals these days, so they must really dig yer stuff.
