Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Delivery in 2008
In 2008 (January to December), the total production value of recorded music (audio and music video
recordings) amounted to 361.8 billion yen, representing a decrease of 8% versus the previous year.
Conversely, digital music delivery continued to expand, posting sales of 90.5 billion yen, up 20% from the
previous year. As a result, the production value of recorded music and digital music delivery sales decreased
3% to 452.3 billion yen.
Audio Recordings
Production of audio recordings amounted to 248 million units at a
value of 296.1 billion yen, down 7% and 11%, respectively, over the
previous year. Specifically, unit production and the value of 5'' CD
albums were down 5% and 10%, respectively, while unit production
and the value of CD singles dropped 13% and 15%, respectively.
Although domestic and international recorded music respectively
posted year-on-year declines of 10% and 16% on a value basis,
domestic recorded music is steadily increasing, capturing a share of
74% in 2005 and 2006, 77% in 2007 and 78% in 2008.
Music Videos
Unit production of music video recordings increased 8% to 56
million units and 13% to 65.6 billion yen on a value basis. Unit
production and value have both expanded steadily every year since
2002 when statistical data was first complied, except for a year-onyear decline in value in 2004. User demand for music videos is
increasing every year, whereby both unit production and value have
increased for the past four consecutive years and are anticipated to
grow in the future as well.
Digital Music Delivery
Digital music delivery achieved an increase in value of 20%, to 90.5
billion yen, or 2.6 times compared with 34.3 billion yen when
statistical data was first complied in 2005. Mobile digital contents,
a distinctive characteristic of the Japanese market, remained
overwhelmingly dominant, while at the same time, Internet
downloads realized significant growth of 52% on a value basis.
Specifically, the value of album and single track downloads has
increased 53% and 48%, respectively. Consequently, on the basis of
sales value, 90% of downloads took place via mobile phones versus
10% over the Internet, with the latter expanding its share compared
with 92% and 8% in 2007. Particularly noteworthy, mobile digital
contents continued to perform favorably, achieving major growth of
39% in sales of full single track downloads service, which accounted
for 60% of all mobile digital contents, and 53% of overall digital
music delivery in terms of sales. Despite a decline of 19% in
mastertones, which has been achieving a steady increase, ringback
tunes continued to realize significant growth, up 39% compared with
the previous year. Additionally, users’ needs for music videos are
increasing, as evidenced by major increases of 123% in downloads
of music videos via the Internet and 41% in mobile digital contents.
Efforts to Combat Illegal Distribution
As a result of research conducted by RIAJ, the number of illegal
music downloads annually is estimated to be more than 407.14
million files in Japan. Based on this situation, RIAJ is pursuing
various measures in terms of technology, laws and regulations and
enforcement through promoting an array of educational campaigns
from various angles with the aim of raising user awareness and
eliminating illegal distribution.
