Sony does spring cleaning: goodbye the brilliant green, Sowelu, Mai Hoshimura and KCB

[Benihime]

The first three all released a best album not long ago, while the fourth ones have not even released their debut album!
In a press release published on their own websites, the brilliant green and singers Sowelu and Mai Hoshimura announced their contract with their management agency Ken-on ended.

the brilliant green will also leave DefStar records (a Sony sub-label) at the same time, along with every solo project of its singer, Tomoko Kawase (Tommy february6 and tommy heavenly6). Sowelu also announced she was leaving DefStar, while Mai Hoshimura will not work with SME Records anymore. Nothing was announced as for these artists' future. Even if the brilliant green's comments suggest the group will be back quickly, Sowelu just thanks her fans, and this is not necessarily a good omen. Mai expressed her wish to devote herself to the music she likes.

As for KCB[b], the group formed with former ORANGE RANGE drummer [b]KATCHAN, we indirectly deduced that Sony also decided to give up on them since the group's official site redirects visitors on an official blog, while KCB's MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/kcb5sound) announces they are an indies band. KCB had released three singles under Sony in 2008, but they were not as successful as expected.
