[Output of Audio and Video Records in 1999]

Production of records in January/December, 1999 (aggregate of the production units/value of audio and video records by the 21 member companies of Recording Industry Association of Japan) showed substantial drop from previous year in quantity, at 479.04 million units, which stood 93% against calendar 1998, and ￥678.9 billion in value (based on the dealer price excluding consumption tax), which stood 93% vs. calendar 1998. � Production of audio records including CDs, vinyls and cassette tapes ended with 444.35 million in units (93% vs. preceding year) and ¥ 569.6 billion in value (94% vs. preceding year). � Production of the industry's main format, CD fell both in production units and value; production unit ended with 423.76 million (93% vs. preceding year), while production value fell to ¥551.3 billion (94% vs. preceding year).� Breakdown of CD formats is, production of 3" CDs fell sharply in units and yen value; production unit of 3”CD was 86.33 million (56% vs. preceding year) and the production value for the format ended with ¥ 54.1 billion (57% vs. preceding year). On the contrary, production of 5" CDs grew both in units and yen value, mainly due to the rapid increase in production of 5” CD singles; production unit of 5”CDs (including album and single) was 337.42 million (111% vs. preceding year) and the production value of the format was ¥497.2 billion (101% vs. preceding year).� Production of Video records in 1999 decreased both in production units and value, with 34.69 million in units (97% vs. preceding year) and ¥109.4 billion in value (91% vs. preceding year). � Breakdown of figures by video formats indicates that both video disks and video cassettes suffered from lack of mega-sales products; production of video disks ended with 110.2 million in units (96% vs. preceding year), and ￥ 26.8 billion in value (89% vs. preceding year); production of video cassettes ended with 23.67 million in units (97% vs. preceding year) and ¥82.5 billion in value (91% vs. preceding year).� �[Ref] Production of CD-derivative audio +visual records (such as CD Graphics, CD-ROMs and Video CDs) showed mixed results, with units staying almost flat at 165.79 million (100% vs. preceding year), but production value decreasing to ¥23.3 billion (88% vs. preceding year).��

□ Issues on enlarging Generic Demand and the continuation of Resale Price Maintenance System: To employ appropriate measures to enlarge total demand for the recorded music To continue to take various actions aimed at the continuance of Resale Price Maintenance System□ Issues on providing protection to record producers and extending their rights: To establish exclusive rights to record producers regarding the right of digital public transmission of musical 　 products and to establish the right of importation To take various actions aimed at having the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty ratified at Diet To step up actions toward illegal copying□ Issues on Technological Developments: To establish technologies to ensure security in connection with the digital distribution of musical contents To establish a system of protecting the right owners concerned in the next generation audio format

The year 1999 saw Japanese record industry struggle in a difficult environment, with the general economy suffering from the long-running recession, and the private consumption staying stagnant, due to the consumers’ misgivings toward how they should design their future pattern of household economy. Against such backdrop, negative factors such as the decreasing population of youth, which make up the mainstay of record buying public, and the slowing private consumption had a major toll on record industry, and the production value of audio records scored the first year-on-year decrease since 1984. When we look at the number of million seller CD albums, there were 30 CD albums that sold more than million units in 1999, up from 28 CD albums in 1998. Despite the fact that the best selling CD album in 1999 sold more than 8.5 million units, breaking all historical records for album sales, the overall industry production scored the first decline in fifteen years. The irony of it suggests that the difference in fortunes of a record is getting larger and larger, with strong titles selling hugely and weaker titles finding it difficult to sustain relatively low level of sales. Meanwhile, Fair Trade Commission’s review on “Resale Price Maintenance System on copyrighted materials” continued, with a view to submitting its final proposal to the Government by the end of Fiscal 2000/01. With a view to win continuance of Resale Price Maintenance System, record companies plan to introduce a variety of proactive programmes aimed at promoting the flexibility in the actual employment of the system, such as the shortening of the period to which the system may be applied, discounting of the records with which the applicable period expired, further promoting of deletion sale which had been held jointly by RIAJ members, etc. On the other hand, in the areas surrounding record industry, we see rapid progress of digital technologies being made and the fast diversification being made as to the ways the records are utilized,as evinced by the emrgence of digital downloading businesses, etc. In view of some recent cases which demonstrate that the current Copyright Law cannot provide sufficient protection on the rights of neighbouring rights owners, we feel it is imperative that Copyright Law and other regulations should be revised, and the record industry need to appeal to the public, the government and the legislative community for the prompt revision. Based on such understanding, major issues that the industry should face are outlined as follows:
