Sony once had an active research and development team investigating paranormal activity. A report into Japan’s fascination with mythic creatures and folklore, carried by Japan Today, reveals that during the Nineties the Japanese consumer electronics giant financed a laboratory to investigate the phenomena of extrasensory perception and other Fortean fancies.
The project ran for eight years and delved into extra sensory perception, remote viewing and Qi (metabolic) energy.
When Sony’s chief researcher in the field, Yoichiro Sako, addressed the Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration in Las vegas, he declared: “As the 21st century draws nearer, we can see that society’s materialistic values, fostered in many respects by modern science and technology, have become outdated and unworthy. It is clear that we have come to another turning point in history and science. What we require to meet the challenges of these unpredictable and confusing times is a new paradigm to guide a new age. I believe that the key to this new paradigm lies in the research of biological, mental, and spiritual phenomena that have been overlooked by modern scientists.”
Sony closed its X-files a year later, after the death of the division’s chief proponent Masaru Ibuka.
