We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Avex Inc. — The company was co-founded by Max Matsuura and Tom Yoda, not solely by Max Matsuura.
Avex Inc. — Avex Trax was launched in September 1990, but the recording studio (Avex Studio) opened later, not at the same time.
Universal Music Japan — The entry states that PolyGram K.K. was established in 1971, but the widely known history is that PolyGram's Japanese operations began in 1970 (as Nippon PolyGram K.K.), not 1971.
Universal Music Japan — The entry states that in 1990, the company was renamed PolyGram Co., Ltd. with Koike Kazuhiko as president and CEO. However, the correct name after restructuring in 1990 was PolyGram K.K. (not Co., Ltd.), and the president at that time was not Koike Kazuhiko b
A Station — The exact month of September for founding A Station is not consistently confirmed in reliable sources; the month may be approximate or unverified.
Alfa Records — The U.S. subsidiary opened in early 1981, but the first U.S. Top 40 hit is incorrectly attributed to Burton Cummings' 'You Saved My Soul' (No. 37). That song did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100; it reached No. 37 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
Alfa Records — The entry states 'Yen Records (1982–1985), fronted by Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiko T' — the name should be 'Yukihiro Takahashi', not 'Yukihiko'.
