The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) (日本レコード協会, Nippon Rekōdo Kyōkai) is a Japanese trade group in the music industry. It was founded in 1942 as the Japan Phonogram Record Cultural Association. It got its current name in 1969.
The RIAJ promotes music sales, enforces the Japanese copyright, and researches the Japanese music industry. It publishes the annual RIAJ Year Book. This is a statistical summary of each year's music sales, plus other data.
The headquarters are in the Minato section of Tokyo, Japan. The RIAJ has twenty member companies and a smaller number of associate and supporting members. Some member companies are the Japanese branches of multinational corporations headquartered elsewhere.
