What was the original system?

When playing music at a ceremony or reception, the user must follow two rules and obtain permission from two types of rights holders, paying the necessary fees.

① Copyright... the rights held by the creators of the music (lyricists and composers)

② Neighboring Rights... the rights held by those who distributed the music to the public (record companies and artists)

However, this time the members of GLAY themselves expressed that "It is a great joy for us to have our songs used on the wonderful stage of weddings, and we would like to provide them for free." As a result, they have made the neighboring rights available for free.♩

【Note】 Not Completely Free!＊

While GLAY's "neighboring rights" have become free, the performance and reproduction rights fees must still be paid to the respective management organizations as before.

Therefore, it's important to note that it is not completely free, so please be aware of this.

Also, the GLAY songs that have free neighboring rights are only those listed in the official SONG LIST on their website.*
