iTMS: Live in Japan

Japanese customers may get their own iTunes Music Store by March 2005, according to a report on Thursday by Nihon Keizai newspaper.
Apple plans to offer more than 100,000 tracks with an emphasis on Japanese music, which would make it the largest digital music download service in the nation.

Canada is also remoured to be getting its own store. the iTunes Music Store is currently available in the US, Germany,
France, the UK, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. The store has sold more than 150 million downloads since its launch, and about 70 percent of all digitally-delivered purchased music comes from the iTMS. Not a bad track record, eh?
