This includes artists like KinKi Kids, RADWIMPS, and 岡本真夜, as well as franchises like グラディウス, who have released their entire music catalogs on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
This trend is currently gaining traction due to the sudden availability of previously unreleased content, marking a significant shift in the Japanese music industry's approach to digital distribution. Many of these releases coincide with anniversaries or strategic promotional campaigns, making them highly anticipated events for fans and contributing to their widespread discussion on social media.
