Sony Music is visibly absent.

Lack of King Records makes me sad.

Can't really rejoice, as it sounds like a new step into import restriction to me Confused

So is this streaming-only, no downloading?

Eh, even if I wasn't a physical media diehard, even for music, I wouldn't be interested if I couldn't listen offline.

But as long as it doesn't affect my ability to import soundtrack CDs from Japan, I'm not bothered by this.

I think it should be mentioned that Suzuko Mimori plays Sonoda Umi in Love Live!, since the roles were mentioned with all the others.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before. I'm subscribed in Melon and every year they do this annual music awards, considering that digital music sales is huge in Korea I wonder if it's the same in Japan? Foreigners are more interested in anime music than Jpop so this is a good idea this can lead to an actual anime music award in the future. Japan has only MTV and Billboard awards for Jpop it's infuriating it needs more example like mnet, MAMA and gaon for anime music.

Even if we can't understand what they are saying, that's why we have plenty of pages that contains the translated lyrics. Such a thing should have been done years ago.

No Columbia either, get with the times Columbia even Avex of all companies are in this. I just hope this doesn't lead to import restrictions, just offer this service with no other strings outside of it attached.

I downloaded it. The search function is difficult, it's better to look by series.

They have exactly the same Magi4 stuff as iTunes Japan - everything but the shuffle units. They only have the solos for Tsukiuta (the boys and the girls), but not the duets and nothing from the anime.

I'm gonna use it and listen to some of the Tsukiuta girls side stuff, but I'll probably cancel the subscription and go back to just using Japanese itunes.

. . . . . . Tsuki no Uta full size comes out today, doesn't it?

Best of luck. I think a lot of people would have preferred if this stuff just showed up on Spotify, Amazon, Tidal, iTunes, etc though.

Seeing Avex here made me a little curious if this has anything to do with their recent decision. I like the idea of this streaming app, but I don't like to see it have that kind of effect.

Sounds like a cool idea if done right.

True enough, I'd prefer it as part of my Google Music account. Lack of Sony and King hurts it too. Wonder if it includes artists non anime work, like for instance Maya Sakamotos (someone's whose albums I buy and whose label is listed).
