Mobile music sales in Japan up 91%
I think J-pop (Japanese pop) has frequently enjoyed in mobile phones in Japan since the mobile devices are becoming more popular in the country.
According to the latest statistics:
Total music sales for 2007 in Japan came to JPY 466 billion (US $4.66 billion). While CD/DVD sales declined 4% from the previous year, digital downloads jumped up 41% to JPY 75.5 billion (US $755 million), comprising 16% of all music sold in Japan. Mobile downloads accounted for JPY 68 billion (US $680 million), more than 90% of the total figure for digital sales.
According to Wireless Watch Japan, the quick calculation shows the total value of Japan’s mobile market is approx. 50x German mobile market figures!
