Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda, hereinafter referred to as CCC) has been releasing the beta version of its curated music information site "TSUTAYA MUSIC PLAYLIST" (http://tsutaya.jp/playlist/) since late September, and is pleased to announce that the service has officially launched today, November 22nd, 2013.

*Curation: In IT terms, it refers to collecting and compiling information on the Internet. Or, classifying and linking collected information to create new value and share it (Source: Chiekura 2013)

"TSUTAYA MUSIC PLAYLIST" is a new initiative in which music-loving employees from CCC, working across departments, have compiled a list of countless musical works based on themes (e.g., "Music to listen to on a holiday morning," "Driving music for a date - beginner's love edition," etc.) under the motto of "music to feel without thinking," and propose new values and worldviews to the list.

Each playlist provides information about the songs, as well as the ability to search and listen to CD rental and sales stock at TSUTAYA stores, and also allows you to purchase, rent, and stream music online.

In addition, we plan to increase the stock of rental CDs at TSUTAYA stores nationwide and develop linked corners for the popular playlists that receive the most views on this service (please refer to the attached document for the latest popular playlist rankings).

In the future, the service will enable TSUTAYA store staff and customers to freely create and share lists, and will aim to provide recommendations with high customer value by linking rental and purchase history with social media such as Facebook and Twitter. We will continue to improve our services to enrich our customers' entertainment lives.
