He was referring to the copyrights involved with J-pop specifically. Yeah, everyone knows what copyright is, but what most don’t know is how strict Japanese labels, such as Avex which handles a lot of groups, are with their songs. These companies are so strict it’s rare to find these songs unblocked in most countries. Take AKB48 and SKE48 for example. Their official music videos often don’t feature the full song (at least the ones that watchable in the US) and gameplays are usually met with a strike. Kimi Ni Bump is another example. The only video that has lasted a decent amount of time is a live performance video from Avex’s official channel because every time someone uploaded the audio (including the “JD audio” video) it was met with a strike. So since most J-pop has a strict copyright policy, it would be very hard and/or expensive to license the songs for use outside of Japan.
