Oh, that part... from what I've seen, that was a partnership with that particular record label for the artists/repertoire on the CeVIO Project side, not complete ownership. Looking at the flowchart, it mentioned that they joined as a song label purchaser only. What's on the flow chart:

'「ソングレーベルの一買としてプロジェクトに参加. 音楽を中心としたWEBサービス、ライヴエベントの企画など、コンテンツを魅力的に届けるサービスを提供. 」'

"Joined the project as a song label purchase. Provides services that attractively deliver content such as music-centered web services, live event planning, etc."

I think if they did own CeVIO, it would've been all up in the site's HTML and even the agreements you have when you first install it. I've been digging since asking, and I haven't found traces of this as of yet. Could be one of those harder to find connections, but usually stuff like this would be easier to trace back to.
