Provisions of the Copyright Act that concern neighboring rights (including the provisions of Article 95 and Article 95-395-5, paragraphs (3) and (4)) do not apply to a performer involved in a performance that takes place before this Act comes into effect, who is a foreign national without a habitual residence in Japan at the time the performance takes place; provided, however, that this does not apply to a performer involved in a performance that takes place before the Copyright Act comes into effect and for which a copyright under the former Copyright Act (Act No. 39 of 1899) exists at the time the Copyright Act comes into effect.
著作権法中著作隣接権に関する規定（第九十五条並びに第九十五条の三五第三項及び第四項の規定を含む。）は、この法律の施行前に行われた実演に係る実演家で当該実演が行われた際国内に常居所を有しない外国人であったものについては、適用しない。ただし、著作権法の施行前に行われた実演で同法の施行の際現に旧著作権法（明治三十二年法律第三十九号）による著作権が存するものに係る実演家については、この限りでない。
