History

From the en.wikipedia article Ariola Japan (CC BY-SA 4.0), revision 1330080525.

In October 2008, BMG Japan became a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan following Sony buying out BMG's share of Sony BMG. BMG Japan previously operated as a division of Sony BMG. In October 2009, Ariola Japan Inc. was founded, absorbing BMG Japan and its labels. Its namesake is from the main Ariola Records label. The record label continued to use BMG Japan's "BV" catalog code. In 2014, Ariola Japan Inc. was absorbed by Sony Music Records Inc, changing its name to Sony Music Labels. Since the absorption, Ariola Japan has operated as an imprint of Sony Music Labels.
