The Telecommunications Carriers Association (TCA) of Japan has released a set of statistics on Japan’s mobile market today, showing that the country had 122.44 million cell phone subscribers last month (out of a total population of 128 million). According to the organization, Japan’s carriers added 569,200 new customers between July and August.
Breaking the numbers down to individual carriers gets you:
Softbank Mobile gained 239,000 new subscribers on a net basis in August, bringing the total to 26.62 million
NTT Docomo came in second with 182,100 subscribers gained (total: 58.79 million)
Emobile gained 75,000 new customers (total: 3.42 million)
KDDI au attracted 73,000 subscribers (total: 33.53 million)
Willcom gained 55,100 subscribers (total: 4.1 million)

Domestic shipments of mobile phones, excluding foreign smartphones, dropped 17.5% on the year in June to 3.09 million units, marking the third straight month of decline, according to data released Wednesday by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association and the Communications and Information Network Association of Japan. Shipments of mobile phones slid 20.9% to 2.9 million, down for the sixth straight month. Shipments of smartphones in the quarter ended June surged 573% to 2.15 million, accounting for more than 30% of total shipments.
I will add a new slide to the presentation later on to reflect this update.
