What really irks me with this sort of mindset is that the big agencies don't see any necessity to change their current modus operandi as long it "works" and brings in the revenue they plan with. Especially the two big jap corpos are at fault for it, more so Niji in recent times, as it feels they just copy paste spam talents that should all have some individuality, and yet feel like they grab their interest tags from the same bucket. I can't tell if this is just complacency or generally a Japanese conservative business approach to stick with what's known and works for them. My gut feeling is telling me it stems from the latter, but I sadly don't have any hardproof for this. I wish there was an additional factor that would push cover and anykara for more innovation and break the stagnation, but no idea how this realistically could happen.
