Audio RecordingsProduction of audio recordings amounted to 267 million units at avalue of 333.3 billion yen, down 10% and 5%, respectively, overthe previous year. Production value of domestic 5" CD albums wasup 1% from the previous year, although international CD albumsdeclined 17% over the previous year. Overall, unit production of 5"CD albums declined 11%, and was down 5% on a value basis.
At the same time, unit production of CD singles declined 9%,and value decreased to 8% over the previous year.
Music VideosProduction value of music video recordings increased 2% versusthe previous year. Unit production, which expanded 6% in 2007,has increased steadily every year since 2002 when statistical datawas first compiled, despite a year-on-year decline in value in 2004.Both unit production and value have increased for the past threeconsecutive years.
Digital Music DeliveryDigital music delivery achieved an increase in value of 41%, to 75.5billion yen, or more than double that of the 34.3 billion yen whenstatistical data was first compiled in 2005. The overwhelming domi-nance of mobile digital contents, a distinctive characteristic of theJapanese market, grew even further in 2007. On the basis of salesvalue, 92% of downloads took place via mobile phones compared
to 8% over the Internet. Particularly noticeable within mobile digital contents was the
phenomenal 91% growth in sales of full single track downloadsservice, which accounted for 51% of all mobile digital contents, and 46% of overall digital music delivery in terms of sales.
Full single track music downloads service has steadily takenroot since being introduced for mobile phones in November 2004,and has become the current mainstay contents of digital musicdelivery supported by the increase of compatible mobile phone terminals and tracks available for download. On the other hand,partial track downloads for ringtone use also held steady with a 1%increase in sales.
Efforts to Combat Illegal DistributionThe Japanese market has increased in combined value of recordedmusic and digital music delivery for three consecutive years, and itcan be said to have demonstrated exceptional performance com-pared to major overseas markets. However, as to be expected, ille-gal digital distribution via uploading, which causes enormous dam-age in respective countries, also adversely impacts the Japanesemarket and poses a danger to maintaining the intellectual musiccreation cycle.
In response to this situation, RIAJ is promoting an array of educational campaigns focusing on appealing to the importance ofprotecting the intellectual music creation cycle.
Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Delivery in 2007

Conversely, digital music delivery continued to expand, posting sales of 75.5 billion yen, up 41%from the previous year. This marked an overall increase in the production value of recorded music and digitalmusic delivery sales for the third consecutive year.
