Apple has invited select media to a special music event in Tokyo that is expected to bring a Japanese version of the iTunes Music Store. The event will be held on Thursday, August 4, at 10:00 a.m. at the Tokyo International Forum.
The long-awaited Japanese iTunes Music Store has been rumored for months. While reports stretch back more than a year, the Nihon Keizai business daily reported in June that major Japanese record labels had signed agreements to provide songs for the service—news that was corroborated by AFX News Limited earlier this month.
