Apple’s iTunes Music Store has opened in Japan at last! While, like the other stores, I don’t expect to be able to buy Japanese music from that store here in the U.S., I am hopeful that someday soon this will not be the case. For me, one of the attractive things about music via the internet is the opportunity to hear music from all over the world in many different languages. Before RIAA began its crusade against online music, I had quite a lot of fun listening to various French and German internet radio stations that had sprung up like weeds. So I’m hoping that soon, buying the latest BoA, or Ayumi Hamasaki song will be as easy as it is now to download the latest from Kenny Chesney via ITMS.
