Which one is the better sophomore year internship to take if I'm not completely sure what I want to do yet but possibly IB?

The first one just sounds like a bunch of buzzwords for communications (I literally have no idea what you are talking about). The second sounds more interesting and applicable.
As long as you can sell yourself either one should work.
@Brunonian_18 I think is absolutely correct about the first one being just a fancy liason type of role with no quantitative work, and highly qualitative. It won't do much but help you become a better and more qualified communicator. If you have an interest in the healthcare industry, it could help you show that you have a genuine interest and some kind of an understanding of the industry.
If the other role is at something like a Nomura, it'll help you show your interest and relevant exposure when recruiting for finance roles later on. It's still sophomore year so as long as you do your best and stay confident while learning as much as possible, you'll be fine.
Can internal audit really be considered "relevant"?. I did external audit focusing on financial services for a year and it is mind numbing work which was of no relevance to my IB summer analyst gig. OP, neither are directly relevant (from my view) so I'd take the first one as it sounds more interesting. Audit is soul sucking work, particularly at the junior levels.
Only thing which may swing it towards Internal Audit for me, does the Japanese bank have an IB division (Mizuho, Nomura) which you could potentially network into for junior year? Both are in NYC so networking opportunities outside the bank should be even.
