Songs of Sony's label are going to be lounched on iTMS Japan.

[Yomiuri News (in Japanese)]
Finally Sony decided to supply songs holded by their label to iTMS in Japan.
Sony has other download services in Japan [Labelgate] and tried to enlock customers, however it is still not useful enough to dominate the market. It also have been expected that they oppressed to join in iTMS because of the battle between iPod and Walkman.
Anyway, as I choosed iPods for my portable player, I'm glad to get Sony's songs at iTMS. I don't care which label an artist contracted, I don't change my portable player till it will be bloken or more useful one will appear, neither.

Some Japanese artist also started to sell their songs world widely under Apple's label.
It will result in major changes in power relationships of music industory over borders.
