Submitting solo artists is fine! as long as they’re indie and vk nothing else matters.

Looking for people to become Admins and join our team!
We've been a little down on post volume lately due to busy admins, so we're looking for more people to join our team!
What we need is people who can be active at least one day a week or more to help either find bands to post about, and/or to write intro posts for bands! We're also interested in having people who can post updates about indie bands such as changes in members, going major, new releases, ect.
We're especially interested in anyone who is maybe studying in Japan or goes to lives in Japan and has access to fliers handed out after those lives as they're a good source of new info.
Also anyone who would be interested in being the main person to handle our twitter account, which would involve making sure we follow all the bands we post about!
You need to have an understandable level of English to be able to communicate with other admins if needed, and write posts understandably.
Let us know if you're interested in helping out by sending us an ask or an email! (
[email protected])
