Updates from our discussions on 4.22

Sony and its purchases of movie companies:
Sony bought Columbia Tri-Star Pictures in 1991 and also acquired MGM (another movie studio) in 2005. It is called Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE).

Tokyo's Silicon Valley:
It started up in Shibuya in the early 2000s, I think, and was called "Bit Valley." It refers to online venture companies, which of course, are started by entrepreneurs. I couldn't really find much online about it, so maybe it has died out. The only thing I found is here. Sorry for the misinformation. There might be activity going on in other parts of Japan, such as Fukuoka and Sapporo, but again, I don't really know.
