In 1999, Sony became the first major Japanese label to launch a download service, offering tracks from local artists only.
Twenty-two tracks by foreign acts—including Celine Dion, Lauryn Hill, Savage Garden, Mariah Carey and Ricky Martin—will be available on the site for the equivalent of $3.30 U.S. (350 Yen) apiece.
