I've always wondered what's the reason Yamaha is so big in music. Like I get that Japanese big conglomerates are known for being, well, conglomerates with tons of different product lines. But how did Yamaha (which is not really that big) become a big player in niches that are so different?

It's separate companies sharing a name and owner, but de facto independent one from another. E.g. Yamaha motors is completely split from yamaha (even tho they are the biggest shareholder).
