Warner Music Japan has signed up to the country's iTunes service, meaning only Sony Music Japan (which isn't part of SonyBMG, of course), continues to resist signing up to the Japanese version of Apple's download platform. Warner Music Asia Pacific president Lachie Rutherford said yesterday: "We're delighted to make the Warner Japan catalogue available on the iTunes Store for the first time. We're proud to be marking the event with exclusive content from some of our most exciting acts and look forward to music fans being able to download their favorite Warner artists from iTunes". Apple launched iTunes in Japan in 2005, but it has taken some time to get all the country's record labels on board, despite actually offering the variable pricing system that record company execs are desperate to get on iTunes elsewhere in the world.
