Quite big news indeed.
Apparantly, Apple just made iTunes global.
Ayumi Hamasaki, M-Flo, and Namie Amuro, as for jpop.
They've updated a bunch of video game music as well. The Black Mages and The Star Onions. And they currently have a good majority of the final fantasies (VI~X-2, and all the spinoff/extras/piano collections). Even the indie band Final Fantasy too. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
And an even more vague search brought up Jay Chou, my favorite chinese singer. Apparantly, he's only got one album up, as of now, but that'll change. And his music (imo, r&b) is labeled as world. Whatever.
I came home and pulled the party shuffle. That brought up some of my older asian songs, and I noticed missing artwork. Curious, I tried to "Get Album Artwork", and I was surprised it did. Correctly too, despite asian characters in the ID3 tags. That's what brought me to poke the itunes store.
.... in some sick twisted world, this might be a vile april fool's thing, but there's no downside if the labels agree to apple's ToS, so I doubt it's a prank. iTunes is expanding, and it's here to stay.
oh, and ps. didn't find the seatbelts or yoko kanno up there though. It'll get up eventually. x) it took them 6 years to expand their horizons to current status, and kanno's popular as hell (... I think)
Discuss.
