JASRAC has already concluded a blanket license with YouTube. Why was it necessary to conclude an administration services agreement with Muserk LLC?

Answer

The blanket license between JASRAC and YouTube (Google) covers videos containing JASRAC repertoire that are made available for and viewed in Japan.
Videos containing JASRAC's domestic repertoire that are made available for and viewed overseas are administered by sister CMOs (copyright management organizations) around the world, based on the representation agreements concluded between JASRAC and such CMOs. If JASRAC's domestic repertoire is used on YouTube in the United States, Muserk LLC will license and collect royalties for mechanical rights, and transfer those royalties to JASRAC for further distribution to the rights holders (authors, composers, music publishers, etc.) of each work.
