The main feature of the Japan Content Catalog is that it integrates information previously available only separately on the following five websites:
Movies: Japanese Film Database (JFDB) (http://jfdb.jp/en/ )
TV Shows: FOYER TV for JACC (https://jcc-tv.foyer-online.com/signin )
Video Games: Japan Content Catalog powered by FOYER
(https://jcc-game.foyer-online.com/signin )
Animation and Characters: Anime Chara DB (http://animecharadb.jp )
Music: Sync Music Japan Database (http://syncmusic-artists.jp/ )
The Japan Content Catalog provides instant access to information contained in the above databases, significantly simplifying a process that until now has required different methods of application depending on the content genre. In addition to providing general information on a wide range of Japanese intellectual property across various genres of creative content, it also provides users with information on which copyright holders contact to obtain commercial usage rights.
