I can comment as a user in Japan.

There are many many sites, and a few listed companies that run them.
Western, Japanese (pop and traditional) music is available, both as
electronic tones, and as recorded music clips.

I pay 300 yen (approx $3) for 15 downloads a month - I subscribe to an
exclusively western site, which is available in English. I check the
site once a week or so (when I'm bored in a taxi) for new releases, or
intensively whenever I upgrade my handset (can't take them with you
when you upgrade).

Average user trends younger obviously.

Hope this was helpful - I realise its a long time since you asked the question.
