Last.fm: More content in Japan

Our favorite online radio station Last.fm has decided to offer more content in Japan. Great move! Even better now with the Last.fm app for iPhone.

The popular UK-based music streaming and discovery service Last.fm announced that it has expanded its on-demand listening and streaming radio services on the Japanese version of the site with content from Universal Music, IODA, The Orchard, and CD Baby. According to Last.fm, this means that its Japanese outpost now has close to 3.5 million tracks available on its streaming radio service, which makes it the largest free streaming music service in the country.

Last.fm has also engaged in an affiliate partnership with HMV Japan, one of the country’s largest music retailers, and directs its users to their site to purchase the music they listen to on Last.fm.
