CISAC President Björn Ulvaeus and Japan Prime Minister Kishida Fumio meet on protecting creators rights

4 Apr 2023

CISAC President Björn Ulvaeus met with Japan Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and Commissioner for Cultural Affairs Shunichi Tokura, to discuss the government’s sustained support for fair remuneration of creators in the digital world.

The CISAC President and ABBA co-founder thanked the Japanese government for taking a leading role in protecting creators’ rights in Japan and throughout Asia. He stressed the importance of government support in a digital environment that is becoming ever more challenging for those trying to make a livelihood from their works. The streaming world has transformed life for creators, opening up great opportunities but also making it more difficult for the majority of artists and creators to make a living.

Prime Minister Kishida emphasised that ensuring fair remuneration to creators is an important issue worldwide. He underlined the Japan government’s commitment to continuing to support the protection of creators’ rights worldwide. He highlighted the key role played by CISAC and JASRAC in providing a united voice for creators, both in Japan and globally.

The meeting was also attended by Gadi Oron, Director General of CISAC, Tetsuya Gen, Chairman of JASRAC and Kazumasa Izawa, President of JASRAC.
