Is it just me or almost all SCANDAL's discography has vanished from Spotify again?

It seems to be a Europe-only thing because everything's still up for me in the US + apparently everywhere else as well. Here's an example with HONEY:




It's also happening to a few other Sony artists as well, like Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Here's an example with an AKFG album. Must be some kind of licensing problem related to Sony.

Russia is not on any of these lists, lol. Anyway sad news, hope they will solve this problem 

Thanks @thoseguiltyeyes and @Meph1766 for your answers!


When they moved to Victor Ent something like this happened, but after some time, some of their releases got to be available (before Sony made almost all their artists' releases available in Europe). Curiously, those same releases are the ones missing, and not the ones Sony made available later. And it looks sort of the same with AKFG releases.


Maybe (and just maybe) those songs that are now missing were not part of Sony's massive licensing made last year and luckily some bussiness things are going on to make them available again.


Dunno if I explained myself well lol

People were commenting about it on the band's YouTube channel. So far everything is ok here in Brazil, and I presume that in South America too.

Why does Sony have to be so problematic? I hope it gets solved soon.

This issue seems to be serious. Their old albums are also missing from YouTube Music, Apple Music, Yandex Music, Vk in my country. Does anyone know what exactly the problem may be and when it can be solved?

Again, it seems to be a Sony-related licensing problem in Europe only--everything is still up for me in the US. All we can do is guess what the problem is because we as fans have no way of knowing what's going on behind the scenes. But SCANDAL's management has been informed of this problem for people in Europe, so they should currently be working towards a solution.

SCANDAL's discography is now back up on Spotify for those in Europe.

Took long time to sort that out.
