  • GS1 Japan Handbook 2020-2021
    GS1 Japan Handbook 2020-2021 Message from the President Message from the President GS1 Japan was established in 1972 as a specialised institution for the rationalisation and standardisation of distribution systems, and has since worked to promote the introduction of various distribution standards and their application systems. Since we joined GS1 (then called EAN) in 1978, as the representative of Japan, we have been encouraging the use of GS1 standards such as GTIN. (Refer to 4.3) In addition to the standardisation activities above, GS1 Japan has also been providing various services, such as Ryutsu BMS (the Internet-based standard EDI massages for Japanese retailers and wholesalers, Refer to 2.6) and GJDB (GS1 Japan Data Bank, Refer to 2.2). GJDB was launched in October 2019 with the primary purpose of helping GS1 Company Prefix licensees (brand owners) in Japan to easily compose GTINs and manage their own product information. Number of parties have already started utilising this service. GJDB is a system that takes into account GS1’s global policies, such as its linkage to the GS1 Registry Platform. GS1 Japan will further enhance its services in response to the digitalisation of the distribution industry. We are also promoting the use of GS1 standards in the healthcare sector. GS1 Japan, healthcare industry and the government have been working together to ensure patient safety as well as supply chain efficiency, resulting in the source marking of GS1 standard barcodes on almost all prescription drugs and medical devices. Stimulating the standardised use of RFID tags through domestic business organisations is one of our major activities.

  • The Transformation and the Future Challenges of Content Distribution in Japan
    Keio Communication Review No. 32, 2010 The Transformation and the Future Challenges of Content Distribution in Japan by Tatsushiro SHUKUNAMI* Introduction Content business has been dramatically changing due to the diversification of consumer needs and technological innovations. This paper explores the possibility of future video distribution market, focusing on the distribution function of the digital network, with an example of the dramatic changes in the music industry. Transformation of the Music Distribution Changes in the music distribution has been taking place in various ways. The Development of computer technologies and the Internet forced the music industry to utilize digital network environment. Changes in the past several years include ample content stock, gradual shift to price competition, free from copy control, and illegal download. This paper will review how the music industry has adapted itself to such huge waves of environmental changes. 1.1 From the Packages Distribution to the Network Delivery As the Internet’s speed has become faster and it has spread widely, traditional disc media has become less preferable to consumers, because of higher price and less selection of goods. At first, most of the network transaction of music via PC was considered illegal. P2P software, such as Winny and WinMX, was popular for exchanging music content. The music industry was unwilling to give up the traditional, highly-priced CD selling model. The industry reluctantly tried to use mobile network download, which was better controlled by mobile communications carriers. However, an innovative business model was introduced by Apple Inc. in 2001. It combined the three important functions for music distribution: the huge stock of downloadable music, easy-to-use software for PC, and a user-friendly portable * Tatsushiro SHUKUNAMI is a professor of Content Marketing at the College of Image Arts and Sciences, Ritsumeikan University.
