うぶごえ | ASPメジャーデビュー記念！MV制作企画「これで君は一生ならず者」（1,000円・10,000円プラン）

ASP are having their Major Debut under Avex this month, as part of their promotions they released a crowdfund project allowing fans to become "Rogue" (fandom name) for life

by a symbolic payment of 10 yen ($0.01 cent of dollar) they are going to include your name (or nick name / username, etc) in the credits of their debut music video, but that's just a part of the project!

the "lifelong" comes from the fact that the project is going to keep running for as long as ASP exist, if 10 years from now they still are around and you sign up to the project they still are going to add your name, they plan to keep updating the credits with the stated goal of one day having the longest music video ever

if having your name appear as a small text in their MV credits isn't enough they added two options

a 1,000 yen (less than $10) for your name to appear in medium text with special characters
a 10,000 yen (less than $100) for having your name appear in fullscreen with the only restriction being what Youtube allows to put in their platform

worth mention that this kind of projects are subject to taxes so they are probably losing money with each person they add, i think is a nice project, some years down the line fans can come back and see their name appear in the credits and recall how they had been supporting the group since the beginning

for more information on ASP's debut there is a thread

Interesting. Too bad they're losing money on it. I'm sure the fans would like it.

ASP's sister group is BiSH who are basically a money printing machine, there is not much reason to worry about it

for example last year they held a fan election to pick the members of the company that would debut in a new sub unit along AKB48's Yuki Kashiwagi, their CEO thought that the final line up was too boring so he decided to spend $50,000 dollars to screw with the rankings by buying 10,000 singles and giving the votes to a random member

Results of Yuki Kashiwagi's "VOTE! WACK SELECT 7" announced, members to debut in a new group alongside Yuki Kashiwagi - K-Pop Source — Keeping the K-Pop Forum Spirit Alive

before starting i want to point out that WACK's CEO Junosuke Watanabe rigged the election, the night prior to the deadline he brought 10,000 singles and secretly gave the votes to a member here are the winners of "VOTE! WACK SELECT 7" #1 Yui ga Dockson - GO TO THE BEDS (she received the...

so with that in mind i think this is definitely a better use of the company money

To the extent of my knowledge, BiSH is going to disband beginning next year. If so, I guess WACK's CEO is betting on ASP.

i feel that ASP are more of a long term investment

right now EMPiRE's sucessor group "ExWHYZ" and "GANG PARADE" are the ones to carry the company for the next few years
