CPRA/Geidankyo is a collective management organization (CMO) with a mission
to protect performers’ rights and benefit andto support the creative activities.
Performers’ rights are protected in an international framework in the form of a
convention to which most countries in the world are signatories. In this framework,
foreign performers’ rights are protected in Japan and, in the same way, Japanese
performers’ rights are protected overseas. To enable this mechanism to function
practically and satisfactorily, performers’ rights management organizations in each
country have reciprocal agreements, under which they collect and distribute the
royalties for the performers of contracting parties.
CPRA/Geidankyo, as an ordinar y member of Societ ies ' Council for the
Collective Management of Performers' Rights (SCAPR), has actively entered into
such agreements with its counterparts for the effective international protection of
performers’ rights.
CMO Designated by the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs
Appropriate Rights Protection Abroad
Collection and Distribution
The Copyright Law of Japan entitles performers to neighboring rights to their performances
fixed on commercial phonograms.
CPRA/Geidankyo is designated by the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs, the Japanese
Government, as the only organization authorized to exercise on behalf of performers’ and other
right holders’ rights;
(1) to claim secondary use fees of commercial phonograms in broadcasting and wire diffusion, and
(2) to claim remunerations of commercial phonograms for CD rental.
In addition, CPRA is also engaged in management of performers’ rights related to the use of
broadcasting programs, by utilizing its long built-up know-how on collection and distribution of
secondary use fees of commercial phonograms.

CPRA receives the usage report of the secondary use fees of
commercial phonograms from broadcasting organizations and
wire diffusion organizations and royalties and remunerations for
CD rental from CD rental shops, and the col lected monies are
distributed to entitled right holders on that basis. For this procedure,
CPRA/Geidankyo has built up a database consisting of performers
information and repertoire. The entitled right holders are identified
by collating these databases with the used commercial phonograms.
Efficient distribution also contributes to reducing CPRA’s
workload and expenses. As a result, its commissions can be phased
down, resulting in an increased sum of distribution to right holders.
