In Japan, Sony Music Group is independent from the global Sony BMG, but BMG JAPAN is directly under the global Sony BMG. On August 5, 2008, Sony announced the acquisition of the other 50% equity of Sony Boardman held by Boardman, and it officially came into effect on October 1. Sony Boardman became a 100% US subsidiary of Sony and changed its name back to "Sony Music Entertainment Inc. (SMEI)" Reasons for merger The European Commission announced on the 20th that it has approved the merger between Sony Music Entertainment Inc. and Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG, also known as Bertelsmann). The new Sony BMG will become the world's second-largest record company after Universal Music, with annual revenue of $5 billion. Japan's Sony Corporation and Germany's Bertelsmann AG signed an agreement in New York last December to merge their respective record companies. Both parties will each hold half of the shares in the new company. But the merger must be approved by the European Commission and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The two companies said declining global record sales and the proliferation of pirated CDs and illegal downloads were the main reasons for merging their recording businesses.

After a five-month investigation, Monti, the European Commission’s antitrust commissioner who is responsible for approving company mergers, finally believed that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the merger would be detrimental to competition in the record market, so he decided to approve the merger unconditionally. After the establishment of sonyBMG, 80% of the global record industry market will be divided up by the four major record companies: Universal Music, sonyBMG, EMI and Warner Music. Due to the merger of BMG and Sony, the original five major record companies in the world have become the "Big Four", so the original order will also be rearranged. The merged "SONY-BMG" will become the second largest record company in the world with annual revenue of US$45 billion to US$50 billion, second only to Vivendi Universal Records. After the merger of the two companies, Sony's current CEO will continue to hold this position in the new company, while BMG CEO Nolf Schmidt Holz will serve as chairman of the new company. At the same time, news came from Sony that after Sony and BMG successfully complete the merger, the two companies will lay off 2,000 people worldwide, reaching 25% of the total headcount.
