Differentiating between the different EPIC labels[edit]

Does anyone know the difference between Epic Sony Record and EPIC Records Japan (see this ja page [1] if you read Japanese.) The present article doesn't mention if it is a Japanese record company or when it was founded. -- Taku (talk) 11:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'd like to clear this up, but could need some help. EPIC is mentioned on the SMEJ website: [2] - section history:

Date	Japanese	Google translation	Human translation
1971-07	新レーベル「EPIC」発足。	The new label "EPIC" establishment.	?
1978-08	全額出資にて株式会社EPIC・ソニーを設立。	EPIC · Ltd. established a wholly owned by Sony.	?
1988-03	株式会社CBS・ソニー、株式会社EPIC・ソニー、CBS・ソニーレコード株式会社および株式会社ソニービデオソフトウェアインターナショナルの4社を吸収合併。	CBS · Sony Corporation, Sony Corporation EPIC ·, CBS · Sonibideosofutoueaintanashonaru four companies merged Co., Ltd. and Sony Records.	?

Shouldn't the title of the article be "Epic Records Japan Inc." if it was re-established as such in 2001? According to Sony Music Entertainment Japan and ultimately Source 2 (CBS/Sony to Take Over 4 Subsidiaries. Jiji Press Ticker Service, February 12, 1988), Epic/Sony Records Inc. was one of four wholly owned subsidiaries folded into CBS/Sony Group in March of 1988. More pages link directly to "Epic/Sony Records" than redirect through Epic Records Japan, but I think that could be because there are more artists from before 2001.
