Given how "Western" Sony has become, I'm not sure I want this to happen.

Kadokawa owns a ridiculous amount of IP so I can definitely see the appeal for Sony but I'd prefer that content to remain distinctly Japanese. Sony seems vulnerable to social pressure from the rest of the world.

On the other hand, it's quite possible that Kadokawa could remain mostly autonomous in how it operates, other than Sony using its IP elsewhere.

You think of SIE, Sony Interactive Entertainment, their gaming part. Sony itself seems to be still very much japanese.
