BMG JAPAN (#166)

[Phonograph]

BMG JAPAN is the result of BMG Funhouse reverting back to the name it had before the 1999 merger with Funhouse, except fully capitalized with no alternate katakana representation...

wrong, BGM JAPAN has always been capitalized when it's written in "english" on covers
however, the whole info is capitalized (like MANUFACTURED BY etc...)

like NIPPON COLUMBIA (said in another thread)
cf. LP/EP/CD covers of that "Nippon Columbia" timeline

both bmg and columbia's second entries should merge with previous
