In this edition of Sunday Favorite, I am choosing to feature Certification Travels. This post highlighted the history of RIAJ - the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Japan is steeped in historical culture and tradition. And so one point of interest about RIAJ is its original title - Japan Phonogram Record Cultural Association (RIAJ is the adopted name as of 1969).
RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) sets an impressively high standard for artists aspiring to gold, platinum, multi-platinum, and diamond certification.
RIAJ, in the Eastern Hemisphere, sets an intriguing standard for artists aspiring to gold, platinum, multi-platinum, million (the United States equivalent of diamond), and multi-million.
In essence, RIAJ appears to be the foreign equivalent of RIAA.
