Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Delivery in 2006
In 2006 ( January to December), the total production of recorded music (audio and music video
recordings) amounted to 346.78 million units at a value of 408.4 billion yen. Although overall
production of recorded music declined 6 million units and 13.8 billion yen in terms of value,
the overall value of recorded music and digital music delivery increased for the second
consecutive year and was up 101% versus the previous year.
Audio Recordings
Music Videos
Production of audio recordings unfortunately decreased for the
eighth consecutive year. Nonetheless, the rate of decline
improved and singles exceeded previous year results for the
first time in three years, indicating a synergistic effect with digital
music delivery.
Unit production of music video recordings has been steadily
increasing since 2002 when statistical data was first compiled.
Despite a decline in value in the previous year compared with
2004, the production of music video recordings achieved a record
high in terms of value in 2006.
Digital Music Delivery
Efforts Toward Expanding Demand of
Music Users
As a follow-up to 2005, which is recognized as the initial year of
delivery of digital music services, digital music delivery in 2006 also
achieved a phenomenal increase of 156% over the previous year.
Among digital music delivery, the value of downloads achieved via
the Internet jumped 272%, nearly double the increase of 149% for
downloads for mobile phones. However, the percentage of Internet
downloads in terms of overall digital music delivery was 9% (5% in
2005), still remaining at a lower rate compared with Western
countries. Conversely, downloads via mobile phones accounted for
more than 90% of overall digital music delivery, in which single track
downloads service grew significantly by 250%.

Digital Music Delivery
Discovering and nurturing new creative music artists as well as
continuing to produce and provide music that responds to various
user needs are necessary for expanding the music market. Based
on an improvement in the declining rate of production of recorded
music, record manufacturers are aiming to realize further
improvement via the debut of 324 new artists (groups), an even
greater number than in 2006, as well as by introducing 19,201 new
recording titles, including music for middle-aged and older persons,
which have currently become a core segment in the market.
