In my anecdotal experience, they're usually the first to scoop big Japanese business stories. (Some kind of Nikkei -> FT pipeline?)

Edit-

> It’s been owned by the Japanese company Nikkei, Inc. — an employee-owned company that publishes The Nikkei newspaper — since 2015.

Okay that makes sense now, haha.

Nikkei is employee-owned?! I need to look into this more!

It's a Kabushiki gaisha (株式会社).

They aren't "employee-owned" in the progressive western sense (that's actually a "Cooperative") - it's just a joint stock company similar to McKinsey where employees can partake in limited profit sharing.
