Tokyo, Japan, Dec 21, 2007 - (JCN Newswire) - Mobile Content Networks (MCN), the world's leading mobile search management solutions provider, today announced the launch of "Uta Search," a music search service available from the home page of Yahoo! Japan for Mobile's market leading portal. Uta Search is the first of several Digital Content Search channels that MCN will power for Yahoo! Japan for Mobile and is available to nearly 80,000,000 mobile users across the NTT DoCoMo and KDDI/au wireless networks.

"Our collaboration with Yahoo! Japan for Mobile is an excellent example of this shared understanding, one that begins by putting user needs first."
