Apple Premieres Movies on the iTunes Store in Japan
TOKYO-November 11, 2010-Apple today announced that movies are now
available on the iTunes Store in Japan giving customers an
incredible way to enjoy movies on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch,
Mac or PC, or with the new Apple TV on their HD TV. Starting today,
there are over 1,000 movies to rent or buy in high definition and
standard definition from major international film studios including
20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner
Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures and top Japanese studios including
Asmik Ace Entertainment Inc., Fuji TV, Kadakowa Pictures, Nikkatsu,
Shochiku Company Limited and Toei Company Limited.
With iTunes' legendary ease of use, discovering and watching movies
is as simple and easy as buying music on iTunes has always been.
Movie fans can choose from many top-rated movies in Japan, including
Hollywood blockbusters such as "Toy Story 3" and "Sex and the City
2," as well as Japanese favorites including "Ototo," "Gekijôban Kamen
Raidâ Dikeido: Ôru Raidâ tai Daishokkâ" and "Odoru Daisousasen THE
MOVIE 2."
With iTunes Movie Rentals, once a movie is rented, it starts
downloading from the iTunes Store directly to iTunes or Apple TV, and
users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in
seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching their movie,
and once a movie has been started customers have 48 hours to finish
it-or watch it multiple times. In addition to renting movies on the
iTunes Store, many movies are available to purchase in HD and SD.
The new Apple TV started shipping in Japan this week and offers the
simplest way to watch HD movies on an HD TV and users can also enjoy
millions of YouTube videos, more than 200,000 podcasts, 4,000
Internet radio stations and personal photos from MobileMe? and
Flickr, while music, videos and photos can be streamed from Macs and
PCs. Users can control Apple TV with their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
using the Remote app, available now as a free download on the App
Store?, or with the upcoming availability of AirPlay users will be

iPod touch directly to Apple TV.
