Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Delivery in 2009
In 2009 (January to December), the total production value of recorded music (audio and music video recordings) amounted
to 316.5 billion yen, a decrease of 13% from the previous year, as severe conditions persisted. On the other hand, digital
music delivery performed favorably, recording sales of 91.0 billion yen, up slightly from the previous year. As a result, the
production value of recorded music and digital music delivery sales decreased 10% to 407.5 billion yen.
Digital Music Delivery
Production of audio recordings amounted to 214 million units
with a value of 249.6 billion yen, down 13% and 16%,
respectively, from the previous year. Specifically, unit production
and the value of 5" CD albums were down 12% and 16%,
respectively, while unit production and the value of CD singles
dropped 16% and 15%, respectively. Domestic and
international recorded music respectively posted year-on-year
declines of 16% and 13% on a value basis. Nevertheless,
domestic recorded music secured a share of 78% in 2009 and
continues to command a high share of the market.
Digital music delivery amounted to 91.0 billion yen in value, up
slightly from the previous year, and has grown steadily from
34.3 billion yen when statistical data was first compiled in 2005.
Mobile digital contents, a distinctive characteristic of the
Japanese market, remained overwhelmingly dominant, while at
the same time, Internet downloads continued to grow, posting
a 13% gain on a value basis. Specifically, the value of album
and single track downloads increased 17% and 11%,
respectively. Therefore, on the basis of sales value, 89% of
downloads took place via mobile phones versus 11% over the
Internet, and the share of the latter is gradually expanding
compared with 92% versus 8% in 2007 and 90% versus 10%
in 2008.
Mobile digital contents, which accounts for approximately
90% of digital music delivery, continued to achieve robust
growth in sales of full single track downloads service, which
increased 4% in value and accounted for a substantial 62% of
all mobile digital contents and 54% of overall digital music
delivery in terms of sales. Although mastertones declined 19%,
ringback tunes posted steady growth, rising 15% from the
previous year. Additionally, digital music delivery data shows
that users’ needs for music videos remain strong, as
underscored by increases of 18% in downloads of music videos
via the Internet and a 1% increase in mobile digital contents.
Music Videos
Unit production of music video recordings increased 6% to 59
million units and 2% to 66.9 billion yen on a value basis, as
both production and value grew steadily. Unit production and
value have both expanded smoothly every year since 2002
when statistical data was first compiled, except for a year-onyear decline in value in 2004. User demand for music videos is
increasing every year and is anticipated to grow in the future
as well.

29. Overview of Survey of Music Media Users
RIAJ conducts an annual Survey of Music Media Users aimed at assessing the current status of music purchasers in addition to
elucidating changes in the environment covering user awareness underlying these purchases, related hardware and the present state
of Internet usage. The main theme of the fiscal 2009 survey was “characteristics of music purchases among geographic regions.” As
sub-themes, RIAJ analyzed the two categories of “awareness of packaged purchases” and “purchasing style of ‘buying based on
recollection’” that were listed as hypotheses in the previous fiscal year survey report.
The survey showed that CDs accounted for 36.8% of all music purchases, making up the largest percentage, while persons in
their 30s and 40s make up the largest shares of the market.
30. Overview of File Sharing Software Users Status Survey
In September 2009, the Association of Copyright for Computer Software (ACCS), the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ)
and the Japan and International Motion picture Copyright Association, Inc. (JIMCA) implemented the File Sharing Software Users
Status Survey. This survey showed that “current users” of file sharing software accounted for 9.1% of all Internet users (the figure
was 10.3% in the September 2008 survey), marking the first decline in five years.
A factor underlying this decline in usage was the passage of the Bill for Amending Part of the Copyright Law in June 2009
(enforced in January 2010). Of “current users,” around three out of four (74.7%) have some awareness of the law. Meanwhile,
among “past users” who stopped using file sharing software, 15.6% said they stopped because they “heard that downloading
illegal content would be banned.” The results of the survey suggest that the revision to the Copyright Law, which prohibits
downloading through illegal distribution, has had more than just a small effect.
The most currently used file-sharing software continues to be Winny with 23.1%, followed by Cabos at 19.0%, and Limewire at
16.3%.

31. Commencing the Publication of Mastertone Digital Music Delivery
On April, 2009, RIAJ began publishing a weekly chart on digital music delivery based on the number of downloads of mastertones
via mobile phones. RIAJ tabulates the number of mastertone downloads over a one-week period from Wednesday to the following
Tuesday, and at 11am each Friday publishes a chart listing the 100 top-ranked downloaded mastertones. With the final publication
of the monthly February 2009 chart, RIAJ has ceased the publication of the Mastertone Monthly Chart begun in September 2006.
