Leading Japanese label Avex and digital content aggregator/distributor Label Gate have launched mobile- and PC-based download services offering the latest pop hits from Japan’s Asian neighbors.

Avex’s new Asia♪mu-mo mobile site (http://asia.mu-mo.net/s/) features master-ringtone and full-length versions of some 1,000 tracks from South Korea, China and Thailand. The service is available though all three major Japanese mobile carriers: NTT DoCoMo, Softbank and au.

On the PC front, Label Gate has joined forces with the Tokyo-based Music on TV cable channel to distribute Korean songs from the hit charts compiled by Seoul-based music channel Mnet’s popular MCountdown TV program. The service, available through Label Gate’s mora (http://mora.jp/) and mora win (http://morawin.jp/) websites, launched by offering the top 50 songs from MCountdown’s first-half  2009 chart and the latest weekly top 10 K-pop hits.

Label Gate will update the weekly top 10 every Tuesday and offer recommended songs from Music on TV K–pop program Kanfu Wide.

Label Gate and Music on TV are both part of the Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) group of companies.
