Overview of Production of Recordings and Digital Music Sales in 2012

In 2012, the total production value of recorded music (audio and music videos) achieved double-digit growth of 10% to
310.8 billion yen for the first time in 14 years. Unit production in this segment also recorded double-digit growth with a
year-on-year increase of 12% to 290.66 million units, thereby realizing an increase for the second consecutive year. At the
same time, although digital music was down 25% to 54.3 billion yen versus the previous year, the total value of recorded
music and digital music sales increased 3% to 365.1 billion yen for the first time in five years.
Audio Recordings
Music Videos
Regarding audio recordings, unit production increased 9% to

218.03 million units and rose 8% to 227.7 billion yen on a
value basis from the previous year. Specifically, in addition to
favorable results of CD singles that were maintained by surpassing the previous year results both in terms of unit production
and value for the third consecutive year, unit production and
value of CD albums also increased 12% to 150.31 million units
and 9% to 180.2 billion yen, respectively. As a result, unit
production and value of overall audio recordings respectively
achieved a year-on-year increase of 9% and 8% for the first
time in 14 years. The composition of domestic and international
recorded music was 84% and 16% (versus 82% and 18% in
the previous year) on a value basis, whereby the trend shifted
slightly toward higher domestic recorded music and lower international recorded music. However, the percentage of domestic
and international repertoire for the total of audio recordings
and music videos was 87% and 13% (versus 84% and 16% in
the previous year), respectively. This was attributable to various
factors such as a growth in music videos, in which domestic
music videos have a high percentage (93% and 7% both in
terms of unit production and on a value basis). Consequently,
the percentage of domestic repertoire among overall is
becoming larger every year.
Production of music videos recorded double-digit growth versus

the previous year for the second consecutive year and amounted
to 72.63 million units with a value of 83.1 billion yen, representing an increase of 21% and 18%, respectively. Strong
growth continued in music DVDs with unit production increasing 18% to 68.64 million units and value increasing 11% to
70.9 billion yen. Additionally, music Blu-ray Discs also contributed by achieving significant growth in unit production, which
jumped 97% to 3.98 million units, and value, which increased
99% to 12.2 billion yen. As a result, the percentage of music
DVDs and music Blu-ray Discs was 85% and 15% (versus 91%
and 9% in the previous year), respectively, which in turn indicated an increase in the percentage of music Blu-ray Discs
among the total of music videos.

Total of Recorded Music and Digital Music
Digital music sales decreased 25% to 54.3 billion yen in value.

This was largely attributable to a 37% decline in unit production
and 40% decline in value of mobile digital contents that continued from the previous year. Conversely, Internet downloads,
including PC and smartphones, recorded double-digit growth
of 26% on a unit basis and 43% on a value basis, thereby
indicating a continuously shifting trend from mobile phones to
Internet downloads. Consequently, the percentage of sales of
Internet downloads and mobile digital contents was 34% and
66% (versus 18% and 82% in the previous year), respectively.
