Japanese TV stations have not been private companies in the free market since their inception. They are businesses that must apply for a license and be approved. This should not be forgotten. TV stations must be examined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) based on the Radio Law when they enter the market, and if the content of their broadcasts does not comply with the Broadcasting Law and other laws and regulations, they will be deprived of their licenses. Based on this law, an oligopoly is a specially authorized legal entity, and is different from a private for-profit company in a free market, which is usually only for profit. This is an industry in which an oligopoly is granted to a small number of licensed companies in exchange for conditions that protect the public's right to know the correct facts and information, taking into account the magnitude of their impact. Therefore, it is not an industry that can freely compete in the market like other industries. So, since its inception, the purpose of the licensed business has been to give all citizens the opportunity to know information, not just to broadcast for the benefit of a few sponsors. We should all remember this. For example, intentionally not broadcasting a particular Japanese band and focusing only on KPOP is inherently problematic under this law.

Great comment. This is one of the dark sides of Japan. I think there is an oligopoly problem of broadcasters and another problem of oligopoly of advertising agencies. These businesses act like money-making cartels, excluding and not exposing artists who are not in the interests of their friends. Such a problem surfaced last year. Last year, some issues came to light during a harassment incident at a major agency, but in the end the harassment issue was resolved and the issue was not addressed. In order to fundamentally solve these problems, it is actually necessary to revise the law and promote liberalization of the industry. Although legal amendments are sometimes discussed from a political perspective, they have not yet been amended. This is a challenge for the future. Another problem is that Japanese TV stations do not have a tradition of having programs that present high-quality music regardless of genre. However, it is truly miraculous that despite the industry's bad habits, they were able to survive and achieve global success simply by simply enjoying music and entertainment. It's a big deal. 素晴らしいコメント。 日本の闇の一つですね。 放送事業者の寡占問題と、もう一つ、広告代理店の寡占問題があると思います。 これら業態が金儲けカルテルの様に振る舞い、その仲間の利益にならないアーティストを除外する、露出させない。そんな問題が昨年表面化しました。 昨年某大手事務所のハラスメント問題の中で、一部問題として表面化したが、結局ハラスメント問題の解決に終始し、この問題にはメスは入りませんでした。 これらを根本的に解決する為には、実は法律改正し、業界の自由化を進める必要があります。 時々政治の面から法律改正が話題になることはありますが、未改正です。今後の課題ですね。 別の問題として、日本のTV局にはジャンルを問わずに品質の高い音楽を届ける番組をもつという慣習がないのもあります。 しかし、こういう業界の悪癖の中でも、純粋に音楽とエンタメを楽しもうという姿勢のみで生き残り、世界的な成功を獲得していくなんて、本当に奇跡的ですな。 大したものです。

@@赤ちゃんポッポ Thank you for your reply. I agree with your opinion. However, compared to the current indiscriminate distribution of online information, the TV media introduced a licensing system for broadcasting stations when it first appeared, taking into consideration the extent of its influence on the public after its dissemination. This in itself was an important decision in terms of protecting the public's right to know correct and unbiased information. In reality, however, the basic philosophy and purpose of the licensing oligopoly system, namely, public interest and fairness to the public, have been forgotten, and a strong position without free competition has come to the fore. This is a reversal of the original philosophy of TV broadcasting at its inception. If they do not fulfill their obligations as public service broadcasters, using their protected oligopoly system as an advantage, their licenses should be revoked or they should be penalized. If they are to be fully commercial enterprises, the licensing system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications should be abolished, and the broadcasting industry, like other industries, should be a market where free entry of capital and free competition with no barriers are allowed, and where the market is eliminated by a merit system of reward and punishment. お返事ありがとうございます。おっしゃるとおりだと思います。 しかし、現在のようなネット情報の無差別配信に比べ、テレビメディアは登場当初、放送局の免許制を導入し発信後の国民への影響力の大きさを考慮した。 このこと自体は、正しく偏りのない情報を知る国民の権利を守るという意味では重要な判断だった。 しかし現実には、ライセンス式寡占制導入の基本理念やその目的である公益性や国民への公平性が忘れ去られ、自由競争なき有利な立場を利用するだけの姿勢が前面に出てきている。 これは、テレビ放送開始当初の理念を覆すもので本末転倒なのだ。 参入障壁で保護されている寡占体制をいいことに、公共放送としての責務を果たさないのであれば、免許を取り消すか、罰則を与えるべきである。 もし完全な一般的営利企業を目指すのであれば、総務省の免許制度は廃止し、放送業界も他の産業と同様に、垣根のない資本の自由参入と自由競争が認められ、信賞必罰の実力主義によって淘汰される自由市場とすべきである。
