I owe an explanation to my fans outside of Japan about Sony’s video postings. It takes a little time for the videos to be ready for worldwide viewing but unfortunately it’s just how YouTube works. We’re not deliberately limiting access to anyone anywhere! Sorry for the latency!

So maybe this is similar to the Spotify issue? |
Utada clearly isn't happy with Sony Music Japan on YouTube, looks like we weren't alone after all. No wonder why when Utada moved to Sony, we were concerned about Utada's YouTube status because of how protectionist SMEJ really is...this isn't helping the effort for spreading Japanese music widespread.
It could either be 1) Japanese copyright laws and/or 2) YouTube Red terms that SMEJ still hasn't fully complied (outside Vevo)?
