The main source of content is Kadokawa’s light novels and manga
Sony Music and others depend on voice actor content
Voice actor content exists only because of anime and games based on light novels and manga.

Since they probably don’t want a publication at this point, maybe they’re aiming for film content?

I had the impression it was a huge company with an enormous scale and profits.

The publishing business is in decline, but I feel there is more hope for it if Sony takes control rather than having it controlled by Old Media.

Niconico without Inmu videos is like a cola without any carbonation.

To briefly explain what will happen after this…
Kadokawa is bought by Sony
→ Sony imposes political correctness
→ Kadokawa anime becomes crap
→ The trend of not selling begins.

At the very least, it’s likely that various restrictions will be imposed on Kadokawa’s content and group companies.
From a consumer standpoint, this is bad news.

The production committee secretaries are mostly Kadokawa and Aniplex, so it’s become too oligopolistic.

Niconico, with its ever-decreasing membership, is likely to be treated as a liability.

Kadokawa and Sony were already close to each other to begin with, so it seems a bit late to say this now, and the benefits would be enormous for both sides.

The moribund Niconico-related businesses will probably be separated and sold off as part of a business restructuring.

Kadokawa’s market capitalization is 450 billion yen, so Sony could easily acquire it.
