- Amount Distributed was 28.4 Billion JPY, 106.8% Compared to 2021-06 Period -

On June 10, 2022, the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) distributed copyright royalties to rights holders including authors, composers, and music publishers for the 2022-06 period. The amount distributed for the relevant period was 28,400,536,012 JPY, which is 106.8% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. (Administrative expenses, income tax etc. are deducted from this amount.)

JASRAC distributes copyright royalties paid by music users to rights holders on a quarterly basis (March, June, September, and December). This distribution primarily reflects royalty income in the 2nd half of fiscal 2021 (October 2021 to March 2022).

< Major topics by usage category >

Performances, etc.
Major live concerts, etc.
As the market is on a recovery trend, the distribution for "Performances, etc." was about 1.17 billion JPY (230.5% of the same period of the previous fiscal year), and the distribution for "Major live concerts, etc." was about 200 million JPY (110.2% of the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Broadcasts, etc.
Distribution was approximately 6.17 billion JPY (91.4% of the same period of the previous fiscal year) as the effect of the decrease in the amount collected for fiscal 2021, resulting from broadcasters' diminished revenues for fiscal 2020, which is the basis of calculation of usage fees.

Videograms
The distribution was about 2.72 billion JPY (123.6% of the same period of the previous fiscal year) due to multiple hit products of idol groups.

Interactive transmissions
Subscription service and online video service markets still maintained their strength, resulting in distribution of approximately 9.61 billion JPY (112.8% of the same period of the previous fiscal year).

The number of works subject to distribution was 2,324,756 works. Rights holders who are entitled to receive royalties, including distribution through music publishers, amount to 68,472 writers and 2,828 music publishers. Furthermore, royalties are distributed to 290,730 writers and 33,598 music publishers through 115 foreign sister societies.

JASRAC will continue to strive for the development of the music industry and music culture by returning to creators and rights holders the compensation they deserve.
