It always amazes me how Youtube can have all these copyright material, but mp3 sharing sites are pulled down with vigor.

Anyway:

For Decades, the CD Dominated Japan. Now, There’s an Unlikely Replacement.

The RIAJ asked 2,216 people how they listened to music. Here are the results:

38.4% listened to physical CDs.

27% played their favorite tracks from ripped digital files.

9.7% listened to music downloads.

8.7% listened to online radio.

6% used free streaming platforms.

3.9% paid to stream their tracks.

There’s one we left out: the vast majority of Japanese consumers preferred using YouTube. The RIAJ found that a whopping 42.7% of respondents used the Google-owned video streaming platform.
