Well this is very cool to see. But I don't know how big the Japanese music catalog will be (given the Japanese music industry not being open-minded to agressively marketing to the world). This service is definitely going to make K-pop fans very happy (although people will want to buy it on Itunes).

Well, in the U.S. digital sales are down and people are preferring streaming over buying so this could be successful.

Well that is true, but this is Asian music, for K-pop, the sales has been going up for the last few years. While the Japanese sales doesn't look very promising. |

Just checked the website out. Since it only just launched, I'm quite impress although the songs are still VERY limited. Tons of singers and albums to choose from. As a fan of J-pop and K-pop I'm pretty much please. However, as stated above, not very many yet. Some singers have more songs/albums compare to the others. Also, the list is sorta limited into songs that are from famous anime. I.E. LiSA I only saw the songs from SAO. As least I got T-Shounen with Boku-tachi no Uta from Blast of Tempest. It's all good for me (y)

I agreed, as of right now the Japanese catalog is small and limited (I'm not sure if it'll grow exponentially), but I'm seeing a lot of K-pop catalog, and I might expect C-pop and Taiwanese pop coming soon, hopefully. But I wasn't surprised to see K-pop on there (and it kinda make sense to see K-pop on there). As I said, I don't expect the Japanese catalog to be big. |

I've been listening to the Anime radio station for the past 4 hours. Thanks for posting this, Bamboo! I'm looking forward to seeing where this site goes.

I think the growth of the catalogs of music is obvious. As I said, I'm quite impressed with the website as of now. They definitely posted a few songs that made me into K/J-pop such as: Eyes, Nose, Lips; Wedding Dress; Bokutachi no Uta, etc. I'm just really waiting for other singers such as Monkey Majik, Rei Yasuda to be on the list. Also maybe add more Voice Actresses/Actors such as Kana Hanazawa, Nao Touyama, and Hiroshi Kamiya and I''ll be going to go back to this site to listen to music for a LONG time. |

As I said, I don't expect the Japanese music catalog to grow, I mean it's hard to find J-music on Itunes (AKB48's album is not even avaliable outside of Japan, and Avex Trax did this back in 2011). I don't expect the J-catalog to be that big, it's wishful thinking but I have serious doubt. |
