I think it's a lot of YouTube if they can. Or via Apple sources? When I saw anyone listening to July 1st, it was on old iPods or using iTunes somehow.
The chart that the song got on for AWA was "recently added songs total plays" or something and has gone up to no.4 on there but it doesn't seem like there's a ton of plays to begin with on AWA.

How can they do that though? Japanese official channels never upload music videos entirely lol Short versions are still a thing there it seems.
Physical sales overall are decreasing, streaming isn't very common either, seems like japanese people don't really care for music anymore?

Even within avex it depends on the artist. Especially artists being popular with the younger generations are uploading full videos and doing YouTube lives and so on.

I think CD rentals (then ripping files from them) are probably the big thing that is not as common anywhere else that Japan has access to. Streaming isn't nearly as big as physical in Japan still but it's growing, same for downloads... but people are still able to get their music somehow, lol. https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/201...outube-report/ http://musically.com/2017/09/25/riaj...reaming-japan/ Quote:

Here is a good list for YouTube channels, if you wanna have a look:
http://minuskakugo.blogspot.com/p/ja...resources.html If you look at avex' official channel alone, you'll see that the majority of uploaded PVs are full ones.

I always thought these full videos were blocked for japanese users (like Ayu ones).

^in ayu's case, all these full songs (e.g. if someone uploads "Heartplace") and videos on avex's channel are blocked in Japan. Thus, the 'small' amount of views. They can watch all the stuff on ayu's channel though and those few full PV's there (like Last Minute).

And when I lived in Japan last year, I've never had problems accessing YouTube videos. So this might be a thing of the past, except for a few artists.

I don't have access to Ayu videos in full, so there's still restrictions in play here.
Japan doesn't really have a radio culture either, so streaming probably won't take off. You can literally rent CDs for 1 dollar, not to mention buy them for dirt cheap at book off. Sales, in terms of physical releases, still sees Japan at or near the top. If Oricon properly counted digital sales as well, I doubt artists would pale that much in comparison to western countries. It takes Japan like 10 years to finally start adapting to changes. I do think that eventually sales will be counted...

I thought they used LINE Music?

I think LINE Music is counted along with the services like Spotify and so on. LINE Music also doesn't have a free option, it's subscription only.

Am I the only one who doesn't use any streaming service? I hate streaming services with passion. I'm still using my sony walkman mp3 player (which I noticed a lot of Japanese people also use) and for me streaming services would take away a lot of my music listening experience.

^ no, you're not the only one.
I wouldn't say it's something to brag about though - streaming is the future. |

I'm not going to start that debate again but it makes me happy to see Japan keep physical media alive. I use both physical music and streaming (youtube, spotify ect.) We have the best of both worlds and the freedom to choose.
For now, anyway. |

^ Yea high five! I am in love with the demo, it sounds promising. A mix of Summer Diary and TODAY. The melody is really sweet!
Hopefully she will sing this song on a'nation. I need it already... what title will it get... I don't know about you guys but I have become very very excited about the new album because of the demos. New material is coming soooooooon and I am literally checking any spare time on AHS hoping there is news!
