A Brief Description Of
The Japanese Recording Industry
1. Overview of Record Production in Japan in 2000
The total production of audio and video recordings by the 24 member companies of the
Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) was 480.3 million units (100% vs. previous year)
and 677.4 billion yen in value (100% vs. previous year) from January 2000 to December 2000. In
terms of both units and value, production remained at the same level as the previous year.
Audio recordings, including compact disks (CDs), analog recordings, and cassette tapes
totaled 433.1 million units (97% vs. previous year) and 539.8 billion yen in value (95% vs.
previous year). For the second consecutive year, neither unit nor value achieved the level of the
previous year, reflecting the severe market conditions.
Production of CDs, the main audio format, fell to 414.1 million units (98% vs. previous year)
and 523.9 billion yen in value (95% vs. previous year). In both unit and value terms, production
was lower than that of the previous year.
The breakdown within the CD format showed a drastic drop in production of 3" CD singles
to 33.1 million units (38% vs. previous year) and 15.0 billion yen in value (28% vs. previous year).
However, 5" CD singles production increased dramatically to 104.6 million units (171% vs.
previous year) and 82.4 billion yen in value (176% vs. previous year). The transition of CD
singles from the 3" to the 5" format showed rapid progress.
Production of 5" CD albums maintained the same level as the previous year at 276.3 million
units (100% vs. previous year), but the value fell to 426.4 billion yen (95% vs. previous year).
Production of video recordings was 47.2 million units (136% vs. previous year) and 137.6
billion yen in value (126% vs. previous year). Both units and value significantly exceeded the
previous year.
Within this category, although laser disk (LD) and video tape production decreased, the
rapid increase of DVD production at 23.0 million units (364% vs. previous year) and 55.8 billion
yen in value (358% vs. previous year) contributed to significant growth of overall video
production.

2. Major Issues For the Japanese Recording Industry
In 2000, the recording industry in Japan was confronted with severe economic circumstances including sluggish individual consumption and price deflation for the first time in the
post-War period.
Besides the prolonged economic slump, there were other factors that adversely affected
the industry. The youth demographic, a major consumer of music recordings, decreased, and
competition from other information and telecommunication services such as mobile phones
increased. Such an environment resulted in the second consecutive annual decrease in the
production value of audio recordings in 2000.
On the other hand, production of video recordings increased dramatically due to the rapid
growth of the DVD format. In unit terms, the production ratio of video disks rose to 56% to
overtake that of video tape at 44%, resulting in values of 45% and 55% respectively. 2000 was
an impressive first year for DVDs.
Meanwhile, after a 10-year appeal by the industry to keep the “Resale Price Maintenance
System” on copyrighted materials, on March 23, 2001 the Fair Trade Commission announced
the final decision to maintain the system for the foreseeable future. The recording industry
voluntarily continues to employ the system in a flexible way for the benefit of consumers.
Due to the current rapid advancement of digital technologies and diversifying use of
recordings including the digital downloading business, the current Copyright Law cannot
sufficiently protect owners of neighboring rights. Therefore it is essential to work in various
arenas to reinforce the Copyright Law and other regulations.
With this background, the major issues to be tackled by the recording industry can be
outlined as follows:
● Extend the rights and interests of record producers
・Establish exclusive rights of public transmission and the right of transfer of ownership without
international exhaustion (the right of importation)
● Cope with issues caused by the expansion of IT usage
・Establish a system to protect rights of owners in next-generation audio formats
・Establish security technologies for digital distribution of music contents
● Conduct various measures to expand demand
・Enhance experimental listening systems and promote music gift cards
● Strengthen measures to solve problems concerning infringement of rights
・Eliminate piracy, illegal distribution via the internet, sales of sample products, etc
