Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Delivery in 2010

In 2010, the total production value of recorded music (audio and music video recordings) amounted to 283.6 billion yen, a
decrease of 10% from the previous year, while digital music delivery performance was down 5% to 86.0 billion yen versus
the previous year. Despite the considerably harsh circumstances in 2010, promising signs were also evident, including the
brisk singles music market and growth in Blu-ray and new digital music services. As a result, the production value of
recorded music and digital music delivery sales decreased 9% to 369.6 billion yen.
Audio Recordings
Music Videos
Production of audio recordings amounted to 298.8 million units

with a value of 225.0 billion yen, down 2% and 10%,
respectively, from the previous year. Prices tended to be lower
for audio recordings overall, and CD albums in particular, for
which unit production and value decreased 6% and 13%,
respectively. Amid the stringent environment surrounding the
market, CD singles surpassed the previous year for the first time
since 2006, in which unit production increased 13% to 50.61
million units and value was up 9% to 37.3 billion yen. In
particular, unit production of domestic recorded music jumped
substantially by 13% and the singles music market picked up.
With regard to domestic and international recorded music,
domestic recorded music fared relatively well with an increase in
unit production of 1% and decrease in value of 5%; however,
international recorded music struggled and respectively posted
declines of 12% and 26% on a unit production and value basis.
Market share of domestic recorded music rose, in which the
composition of domestic and international recorded music
respectively was 80% and 20% (versus 78% and 22% in the
previous year) on a unit production basis, and 82% and 18%
(versus 78% and 22% in the previous year) on a value basis.
Additionally, the percentage of domestic and international
recorded music for the total of audio recordings and music
videos was 82% and 17%, respectively.
Unit production of music video recordings decreased 21% to

46.48 million units and 12% to 58.6 billion yen on a value
basis. Blu-ray discs, which is included in and makes up a small
share of the Tapes, LDs and Other category, achieved
significant growth.

Digital music delivery amounted to 86.0 billion yen in value and

posted a decline for the first time since statistical data was first
complied in 2005. Mobile digital contents, a distinctive
characteristic of the Japanese market, remained dominant,
while at the same time, the percentage of Internet downloads
to total downloads is increasing every year. Internet downloads
showed a 1% decrease on a value basis while unit production
increased 6%. Specifically, albums and music videos were up
4% from the previous year. In mobile digital contents, although
sales of single track downloads decreased 4% in value, its share
edged up from 54.3% in the previous year to 55.3% in
proportion to the overall digital music market. Mastertones
continued to trend downward with a year-on-year decline of
19%, while conversely, ringback tunes posted 3% growth,
reaching the same market scale as mastertones.

29. Overview of Survey of Music Media Users

RIAJ has conducted the annual Survey of Music Media Users since 1986. The aim is to assess the current status of music purchasers
from the dual perspectives of an intergenerational comparison and trend analysis in addition to elucidating changes in the
environment covering user awareness underlying these purchases, related hardware and the present state of Internet usage.
The 2010 survey focused on the current status of usage of Internet media (specifically, free streaming video sites) and CD shops.
Accordingly, the survey showed that CDs accounted for 33.7% of all music purchases, making up the largest percentage, while
people in their 30s and 40s comprise the largest market share.

30. Current Status of Digital Music Piracy Following the Amendment of Article 30 of the Copyright Law
A survey of the current status regarding digital music piracy conducted by RIAJ in August 2010 revealed that the percentage of users
who are downloading music, music video clips and other content from video sites was 29.6%, while the recognition rate reached
68.1%. These percentages were higher than other content such as P2P file sharing software or other PC websites and bulletin board
websites for mobile phones.
It has been one year since the revised copyright law (Article 30, paragraph (1), item (iii) went into effect, stipulating that
downloading illegal music and images while recognizing such an act as being illegal will be deemed a breach of law. Although the
effects of this amendment have been evident in certain areas, the distribution of illegal music files and other contents has yet to be
reduced and is inflicting heavy damage on the music industry.

Recognition and Usage Rate of Illegal Files and Other Contents

The usage rate and recognition rate, respectively, were 29.6% and 68.1% for video delivery websites, 5.0% and 44.6% for P2P file
sharing websites, 10.4% and 49.3% for other PC websites and 9.4% and 55.3% for bulletin board websites for mobile phones.
Percentage of Illegal Uploading Experience

Among the users of illegal websites and other content, the percentages of upload experience and recognition rate were 18.8% and
65.3%, respectively.
Status of Illegal Music Downloads

The annual estimated number of illegal music downloads*1 is 4.36 billion files, an approximate 10-fold difference versus 440
million files downloaded annually from legitimate/official digital music delivery sites in 2010. This is also equivalent to 668.3 billion
yen*2 in terms of legitimate/official digital music delivery on a retail price basis, representing a roughly 8-fold difference versus
annual sales of legitimate/official digital music delivery totaling 86.0 billion in 2010.
Notes: 1. The estimated number of downloads is calculated according to age and category by multiplying the population of Japan (source: 2005 National Census) by the
download usage rate and average file number (source: RIAJ survey, August 2010). In addition to downloads of illegal files, this estimated number of downloads also
includes unauthorized downloads from official streaming sites of record companies that allow view access only and other sites.
2. Legitimate/official digital music delivery on a retail price basis is calculated based on the average unit price data in RIAJs digital music delivery statistics (JanuaryDecember 2010).
