Sony Artists in Japan Want on iTMS at Any Cost, Report Says
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Gibson
Some Japanese musicians under contract with Sony want their songs listed on Apple's iTunes Music Store (iTMS) and are willing to possibly violate their agreements to do it, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
At least one artist has already gone against his label to offer his songs on iTMS, AP reported, and a major agency that manages Japanese musicians said Wednesday it was interested in a possible deal with Apple.
Rock musician Motoharu Sano, who has a recording contract with Sony, is making some of his songs available on iTMS, according to his official Web page. "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 told The Nihon Keizai Shimbun business daily.
Amuse Inc., an agent for some of Japan's most popular artists, is also thinking about joining iTunes, the report said. "We want to do what users want," Amuse spokeswoman Kyoko Ijichi said Wednesday.
Apple and Sony are reportedly in talks to have music of Sony-labeled artists available on iTMS, but have yet to reach an amicable agreement.
The new iTMS in Japan began last week and sold one million songs in four days.
