Japanese Song Use Made Easier
Music sharing between Korea and Japan will get a lot easier starting next month, thanks to a new partnership agreement between the two countries' music copyright associations.
Japan's NHK says the two sides signed the pact that will allow their citizens to use each other's songs. From next month, they will make available 190-thousand Korean songs and one-point-one million Japanese songs.
The NHK said the accord reflects growing demand in each country for music in broadcasts and karaoke machines. It cited the Hallyu boom of Korean culture in Japan and the opening of the Korean market to Japanese cultural products.
