RE: Why do the Japanese ignore or dislike streaming?

My friend does not live in Japan. They work for Spotify in London. The Japanese market has been a dismal failure. They could not get consumers to sign up for accounts. They tried everything.

Wrap your head around this. Tower Records, which famously went bust here in the US, has 85 stores in Japan. Several of which I visited last year..multi floor monoliths.

On top of that, licensing for streaming is much more difficult. See this article.
