According to Chapter IV, Section 6, Article 101 of the Japanese Copyright Act: "The duration of neighboring rights shall expire at the end of a period of seventy years from the year following the date... when the publishing was made or when the first fixation of sounds was made if the publishing has not been made within a period of seventy years following the first fixation of sounds."

Warning: This copyright tag does NOT mention that whole copyrights has expired. It may be remained composer- or lyricist-related copyrights in Japan. You must show that such copyrights has also expired in Japan.

Note: The enforcement of the revised Copyright Act on December 30, 2018 extended the copyright term of works whose copyright was valid on that day to 70 years. Do not use this template for works published after 1967.

Please note that being in the public domain in Japan does not automatically mean that it is free as well in the United States. Find and add one of the PD US license tags in order to ensure that the file is free in the United States. Typically, for a published work to be in the public domain in the United States, it needs to be published before 1946, because of URAA-restored copyrights. Unpublished works need to satisfy {{PD-US-unpublished}}.
