I have made the above edits and no longer feel this is correct.
YOASOBI and Ayase are members of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. but they do not appear on the labels of the digital distribution releases, but rather on the releases from YOASOBI or Ayase.
However, I am not sure if this is called a self-release.
Please give me some advice.
If this is a case of artists putting their own name into the “label” field, when they are adding their own music to digital distribution services, it is [no label].
Since they haven’t released any other artist’s music, as a label, it seems likely that [no label] is correct - but I haven’t researched it!

I’ve mostly followed the same logic as aerozol, tho I usually deal with independent artists, so this approach may or may not be correct here, I’m not sure
what exactly do you mean that these artists are “members” of SME Japan tho?
Physical releases such as CDs are released by Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and the ISRC is also assigned the SME code.
On digital releases, typically (maybe not always), on SME Japan releases, if a physical release is available just pick the label from that. If not, see if there is a cat# available in the URL or another source and use the annotation found on Sony Music Labels for a guide to help select the appropriate label. If unable to figure out, just leave it blank.

I discussed these YOASOBI digital releases with yakumo0209 later, and we agreed that it would be appropriate to make it a “no label” as others have mentioned.

Please confirm the Ayase and 幾田りら labels as well.
