Nishitetsu (Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd., Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, President and Executive Officer: Koichi Hayashida) and JASRAC (Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Chairman of the Board: Ichiga Izawa) will launch a new initiative to support the creative activities of artists and creators, including music data collection and live performance activities, through the service collaboration of both companies.
Nishitetsu and JASRAC each operate services that support the activities of artists and creators, namely "muside" and "KENDRIX." Nishitetsu's muside is a platform that supports the musical activities of amateur musicians, while JASRAC's KENDRIX is a DX platform for music creators that supports the proper management of copyright and other music information.
Both companies believe that all music has value, and they are promoting this collaboration as an effort to provide a system that allows talented artists and creators who produce music to obtain appropriate revenue opportunities.
Through this collaboration, we believe that all people who provide music will be able to receive more appropriate distribution and engage in musical activities stably. Both companies will contribute to creating a mechanism for returning value to promising artists and creators, and furthermore, to the further revitalization of the music scene, especially live music venues.
