Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Sales in 2014
In 2014, the total production value of recorded music (audio and music videos) decreased 6% versus the previous year to
254.2 billion yen while unit production posted a year-on-year decline of 9% to 226 million units. In contrast, sales of digital
music were up 5% from the previous year to 43.7 billion yen, marking the first year-on-year increase in five years since
2009. As a result, the production value of recorded music and digital music sales decreased 5% to 297.9 billion yen.
Audio Recordings
Music Videos
Production of music videos declined to 53.68 million units with
a value of 67.7 billion yen, representing a 6% decrease on both
a unit and value basis from the previous year. Specifically, unit
production and value of music DVDs declined 8% to 47.07
Digital Music
Digital music sales increased 5% to 43.7 billion yen on a value
basis, the first year-on-year increase in five years since 2009,
thanks to the contribution of sales via PC and smartphones,
which continue to perform favorably. For sales via PC and smartphones, both single tracks and albums posted year-on-year
double-digit growth, as single tracks rose 19% on a unit basis
and 18% in terms of value while albums increased 17% on a
unit basis and 21% in terms of value. The ratio of sales via PC
and smartphones compared with feature phones changed from
60% and 40% in 2013 to 76% and 24% (both exclude results
related to “Others”), which shows that the market for sales via
PCs and smartphones is expanding. The subscription market also
is expanding every year and stood at 7.9 billion yen on a value
basis, marking an increase of 157% from the previous year.

Total of Recorded Music and Digital Music
In terms of audio recordings, unit production declined 10% to
172.31 million units and decreased 6% to 186.4 billion yen on
a value basis from the previous year. Specifically, unit production and value of CD albums declined 10% to 114.93 million
units and 7% to 142.3 billion yen, respectively, while unit production and value of CD singles also declined 8% to 55.46
million units and 3% to 41.8 billion yen, respectively, versus
the previous year. Unit production and value of international
recorded music rose from the previous year. Moreover, unit
production and value of vinyl discs jumped 49% and 66%,
respectively. The composition of domestic and international
recorded music was 84% and 16% (versus 85% and 15% in
the previous year) on a value basis, while the percentage of
domestic and international repertoire for music videos in terms
of both unit production and value was 96% and 4% (versus
95% and 5% in the previous year). Although these figures
show an uptrend in the percentage of domestic repertoire, the
percentage of domestic repertoire versus the total for recorded
music (the total of audio recordings and music videos) remained
unchanged from the previous year as well as the year before
last at 87% and 13% on a value basis.
million units and 11% to 49.1 billion yen, respectively, while
unit production of music Blu-ray Discs rose 16% year-on-year
to 6.60 million units and value rose 10% to 18.6 billion yen.
As a result, the percentage of music DVDs and music Blu-ray
Discs was 88% and 12% (versus 90% and 10% in the previous
year) on a unit basis and 73% and 27% (versus 76% and 24%
in the previous year) in terms of value as the scale of the market
for music Blu-ray Discs steadily is expanding. Although the percentage for music Blu-ray Discs is rising, this increase has been
unable to cover the decline in music DVDs and therefore the
total for both unit production and value for music DVDs
declined from the previous year.
