Machine Translation:

Thank you for using the service of Napster Japan.

Indeed without permission on May 31, 2010 I will end providing with all the services of Napster Japan.

After it began to have served in October, 2006, it was possible to meet the people of a lot of music fans through a new way by the subscription service that Napster proposed to enjoy music named listening of music.

Though it was not able to answer all of a lot of comments or opinions gotten from the customer. A lot of people supported Napster.

When the render of service is finished, we wish sincerely to express our gratitude for the patronage gotten from everybody for these four years.
