hi
plural form for Japan is usually frowned upon. Replacing "y" with "ies" also causes more difficulties for them. If there are no japanese affiliates, then it would be really hard to make any money from affiliates. To sell the name would also be difficult as it doesnt provide the specifics of "supply".
I am unable to give you an appraisal as it would depend on the buyer.
