RCoverage LAST UPDATE: 2021.08.11 Research Coverage Report by Shared Research Inc. | https://sharedresearch.jp Executive summary Business overview ◤ Stream Media Corporation (SMC) is a Japanese subsidiary of SM Entertainment (SM), South Korea’s largest entertainment company. Since 1998, SMC has provided digital content centered on Korean TV shows (K-dramas) in Japan. In 2009, SMC merged with BOF International Inc., a subsidiary of South Korea-based KEYEAST Co., Ltd. (founded by Bae Yong-joon, the lead actor of the K-drama hit “Winter Sonata”). At the time, SMC operated Japanese fan clubs for Korean actors/actresses, and broadcast Korean pop culture content through its paid TV channel DATV to communication satellite (CS) broadcasting subscribers. ◤ In 2016, SM invested in SMC through its Japanese subsidiary SM Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd. In 2018, SM acquired KEYEAST, bringing SMC into its group as a result. SMC then acquired SMEJ Inc. (a newly formed subsidiary of SM Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd.) via an absorption-type merger. Following the merger, SMC continued to broadcast paid content and manage and operate Japanese fan clubs for Korean artists, including artists not affiliated with SM, while also operating the music business (master production and CD sales) and concert business inherited from SMEJ. SM holds 85.3% of the voting rights in SMC. The company operates in three segments: Rights & Media (in FY12/20, 75.8% of total revenue; operating loss of JPY195mn), Entertainment (24.2% of total revenue; operating loss of JPY308mn), and Other (0.0%; operating loss of JPY14mn). ◤ In the Rights & Media segment, SMC broadcasts paid TV channels such as KNTV through CS broadcasting (via direct broadcast satellite services such as SKY PerfecTV! and SKY PerfecTV! Premium Service), cable TV (CATV), and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). In FY12/19, broadcasting revenue was JPY2.3bn (36.1% of total revenue). Broadcasting revenue was not specifically disclosed in FY12/20 but assuming this revenue held steady YoY, broadcasting likely made up half of the total revenue of JPY4.3bn in FY12/20. Broadcasting revenue is determined by the number of subscribers and subscription fees. SMC pays a fixed percentage (undisclosed) of its subscription revenue to CS broadcasters. It had roughly 100,000 subscribers (as of 2014), mainly consisting of Korean pop culture fans in their 40s and above, including Korean residents in Japan. A KNTV subscription costs JPY3,960/month (on SKY PerfecTV!; incl. tax). In the rights business, SMC sells broadcasting rights of TV shows it has purchased in South Korea to terrestrial, CS, and other broadcasters. It also supplies DVDs of such TV shows to DVD rental chains. The company sells broadcast rights with a limited term and it also collects a portion of the revenue generated from the secondary usage for some rights it sells. However, the copyright of the TV shows is not transferred and remains with the Korean production company or TV station. SMC has not disclosed the fees from selling broadcasting rights. ◤ In the Entertainment segment, SMC exclusively manages SM-affiliated artists in Japan, organizes concerts for them at sports stadiums and other venues, sells merchandise, and plans and operates media appearances. For Korean artists who are not affiliated with SM, the company also offers contracted support for fan club operation, mobile

  • Live Performance Where Congruent Musical, Visual, and Proprioceptive Stimuli Fuse to Form a Combined Aesthetic Narrative
    Soma: live performance where congruent musical, visual, and proprioceptive stimuli fuse to form a combined aesthetic narrative Ilias Bergstrom UCL A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2010 1 I, Ilias Bergstrom, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Artists and scientists have long had an interest in the relationship between music and visual art. Today, many occupy themselves with correlated animation and music, called ‗visual music‘. Established tools and paradigms for performing live visual music however, have several limitations: Virtually no user interface exists, with an expressivity comparable to live musical performance. Mappings between music and visuals are typically reduced to the music‘s beat and amplitude being statically associated to the visuals, disallowing close audiovisual congruence, tension and release, and suspended expectation in narratives. Collaborative performance, common in other live art, is mostly absent due to technical limitations. Preparing or improvising performances is complicated, often requiring software development. This thesis addresses these, through a transdisciplinary integration of findings from several research areas, detailing the resulting ideas, and their implementation in a novel system: Musical instruments are used as the primary control data source, accurately encoding all musical gestures of each performer. The advanced embodied knowledge musicians have of their instruments, allows increased expressivity, the full control data bandwidth allows high mapping complexity, while musicians‘ collaborative performance familiarity may translate to visual music performance. The conduct of Mutable Mapping, gradually creating, destroying and altering mappings, may allow for a narrative in mapping during performance.
