Google Play Music, Netflix face tepid streaming market in Japan


Streamers are trying hook music fans with sweet deals. Google Play Music recently launched in Japan, years after entering overseas markets for music streaming. It's offering millions of songs for a flat rate of ¥980 (US$8.18). [...] Meanwhile, streaming video services are also proliferating in Japan, but there has yet to be a standout winner. Netflix is one of the latest entrants, offering plans from ¥650 and one month free viewing. Amazon is also bringing its Prime Video to Japan this month, featuring U.S. and Japanese films, TV dramas and animation. - Tim Hornyak, CIO [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
