What comes to mind when you hear the word “idol”?
For me, “a song” came to mind before “a person”. That’s right, “Idol” by YOASOBI.
“Idol” was released as the opening theme song for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” and even people who do not watch the anime have heard of this hit song. It even topped the Billboard charts in the U.S. as well as Japan.
I saw an online news that the song “Idol” won the Gold Prize at the 2024 JASRAC Awards by the Japan Music Copyright Association (JASRAC).
JASRAC is a general incorporated association that mainly engages in activities such as management business related to copyrights of musical works and mutual protection of copyrights with foreign copyright management organizations.
Copyright is also an important protection of rights for composers, lyricists, and music publishers. (Rabbit)
