Opening heading
editI removed the prod tag since the band has a Japanese Wiki article at http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHOW-YA and also has numerous Google hits (unfortunately most of them in Japanese). If you still think this article should be removed, go ahead and re-tag it. Travelbird 12:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- The article as it exists demonstrates no notability. You shouldn't remove the tag until it does. --Dweller 12:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've replaced the tag. Please do remove it when the article will pass WP:MUSIC --Dweller 13:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Show Ya → Show-Ya – Pretty non-controversial, their name clearly has a hyphen. Xfansd (talk) 17:13, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I totally agree! I already tried to use the correct name in the articles about the band, but got involved in what seems to be an old debate with the result of having the name stuck to Show Ya. All my edits have been hastily reverted. I hope that you have better luck! Lewismaster (talk) 18:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Official site uses a hyphen, so I see no problem moving the article to conform with this. --DAJF (talk) 23:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Influence of Akimoto.
editArticle says: "The Japanese Idol phenomenon touched the band only marginally, but Akimoto’s management gave Show-Ya the chance to play in front of larger audiences in their “Date Line” national tour."
This underplays Akimoto's contributions. Not only a manager, he is an award-winning songwriter. In addition to providing management, Akimoto, usually in collaboration with composer Kyouhei Tsutsumi, wrote a number of important songs for Show-Ya. It's clear from the performances that Show-Ya were able to "bond" with the musical and lyrical content of these Akimoto songs, vividly bringing them to life.208.81.120.1 (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- In the article it is written that "Show-Ya ceded musical direction" to Akimoto, clearly implying that he was not only a manager. If you think that his contribution as songwriter should be remarked, add it to the article. Lewismaster (talk) 09:52, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
