      Sony Corporation applies to cease being a reporting issuer in Canada



New York - March 29, 2007 - Sony Corporation announced today that it has applied
to Canadian securities regulatory authorities for permission to be deemed to
cease being a reporting issuer in Canada.


Sony Corporation's American depository receipts were de-listed from the Toronto
Stock Exchange, at the Corporation's request, in November 2005.


Even if released from its obligations as a reporting issuer in Canada, Sony
Corporation will continue to deliver to holders of its securities resident in
Canada all disclosure material required by U.S. federal securities law to be
delivered to holders of its securities in the United States, in the manner and
at the time required by U.S. federal securities law and the requirements of the
New York Stock Exchange.
