Japanese musicians defy record companies to join iTunes

Last updated: May 14, 2021 4:27 pm UTC
By LC Angell

Some Japanese musicians are trying to get their music on the iTunes Music Store, despite being under contract with Sony and other labels that haven’t signed agreements with Apple.


“At least one artist has already gone against his label to offer his songs on iTunes,” reports the Associated Press.

“And a major agency that manages Japanese musicians said Wednesday it was interested in a possible deal with Apple, regardless of the recording companies’ positions.

Japanese rocker Motoharu Sano, who has a recording contract with Sony, said he is making some of his songs available on iTunes.

“It is an individual’s freedom where that person chooses to listen to music. I want to deliver my music wherever my listeners are,” Sano said.
