[9][10] Former V6 members (20th century and Ken Miyake), Kis-My-Ft2, and Snow Man, all of whom belonged to Avex Trax, are affiliated with this company.
[14] However, the details of the affiliated company, Ment Recording, Inc. are unknown, as it was only reported that Julie Fujishima had stepped down as president.
Snow Man debuted in 2020 and has since broken out, selling nearly 1 million CDs each time as of 2024, making up the core of the label's sales.
[16][17][18] Groups affiliated with former Johnny & Associates often belonged to private labels financed by Johnny's, such as Arashi, NEWS and KAT-TUN, but it is said that the groups affiliated with Avex Trax had difficulty establishing private labels because of the different factions within the company.
[20] It is said that after Iijima left the company in 2016, SMAP, which she was in charge of, was disbanded and Kis-My-Ft2 was taken over by different people to manage, which eliminated the reason for the conflict and led to the establishment of the private label[19].
