EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
JAPAN’S MEDIA
• Japan’s media industry has a prominent position globally, both as a market and as a creator with
global impact. Understanding the structure of Japan’s media industry is important for many -
including marketing and communications specialists, or people working in branding and media.
• Japan’s media industry is extremely creative and make important global cultural contributions.
Japan’s creative sectors include the animation and cartoon industry, movies, game software and
hardware, music, mobile communications, mobile internet and several others.
• Dentsu is Japan’s dominating agency with an overwhelming position in Japan. Starting with the
acquisition of Aegis, Dentsu is now on a path to leverage its dominating position in Japan globally.
• With a circulation of almost 72 million copies per day, Japan’s newspaper industry has much larger
circulation than that of the USA and is at the core of Japan’s media industry
• TV is dominated by five large private media groups grown out of and linked to the main
newspaper groups: NihonTelevi, FujiTelevi,TBS,Televi Asahi andTeleviTokyo, as well as the public
NHK which is financed via subscriptions.
• Internet and mobile internet are increasing steadily in importance and influence. Mobile music
takes over as a music distribution channel from traditional CD and DVD sales. Mobile games take
over fromTV games.Traditional sectors, for example Karaoke, tend to decrease in importance.
• Several dramatic take-over battles for management control and ownership of Japan’s largest
media groups, manifest changes in Japan’s media industry caused by the growth of the internet,
globalization, transition to digital from analogTV and many other factors of change.

networks, the basis of Japan’s US$ 40 billionTV industry.
