Summary | In Japan, video platforms such as YouTube and Niconico are very popular. The world’s fourth-largest internet population is in Japan, and Japanese users spend more time on video platforms than on social media platforms. The reason why Japanese people spend more time on video platforms is because they have been able to mould those video platforms to their own cultural norms (unlike social networks such as Facebook). Music streaming services have yet to reach Japan; physical CDs are still popular over there.
