Sony Music’s parent corporation has published its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 (its fiscal Q2) including its music division. The key figures there include 21% growth in revenues to ¥542bn ($3.51bn) driven by higher streaming revenue for both recorded music and publishing. However, the ‘music’ figures also include ¥106bn of revenues from Sony’s ‘Visual Media & Platform’ business – animation and mobile games.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.
