<description>Wow!! Mind blown.... Japanese businesses are not actually innovative. And innovation is not admired.

The suggested video is over 5 years old but is relevant and on point. It made me rethink my business model. It's too bad that it is only advantageous for an innovative Japanese national to do business internationally than the other way around. 

My Japanese wife and I will probably have a serious discussion about my earning potential in Japan.

Very useful and informative video.
Thanks....</description>

<description>Hi there,

I'm a subscriber to your channel for some time and have enjoyed your videos. They are interesting and very informative about Japanese topics. I have a question in relation to presenting ideas in a company setting and was hoping if you could create a video addressing the topic.

To the western world, Japan is known for their innovation in technology. When it comes to gadgets, Japanese tech firms seem to come out with sensible products that can compete globally.

My question to you is how are...</description>

<description>Yes, not unusual for them to take days to do a 5 minute job.

<description>Hi there, I'm in the process of buying a home in a medium-sized town in Yamanashi-ken. I put in an offer thought the agent, and waited for 10 days for the landlord to give the permission to go ahead (the built-up part is freehold, but the land is leasehold, so the sale has to clear the landlord first). Thereupon the agent presented my offer to the home seller. It has been four days since, but i have not heard from the agent yet. In a big city in the US, that would have been sufficient time to wrap up the de...</description>
