Rare you see 3,000 people all dressed identically. Japan Inc lives despite its obvious problems.

Japanese business people always wear similar black suits that they maybe like. They think and see black suit as business uniform.

I wonder how many of them will try the ol' banana peel trick, where they put a banana peel in front of their competition for their job, and their competition, cartoon-like, slips on the banana peel and lands on their back and in the hospital, assuming the hospital doesn't reject them...

Business schools? I hope the school taught them to forget everything they learned, roll up their white sleeve shirts and get used to difficult, dangerous and dirty if they want to survive the coming depression.

I am sure there was an "Idol" on stage or something. They seem really happy. Very nice photo. Maybe the best I have seen on this site this year.

nisegaijin -- of course not. You don't go to business school in Japan to actually learn business. Just to get a job at the right company, so they can teach you how to do business, they're way. Read somewhere that one of the major Japanese companies (forget which) does not expect a new employee to have any real decison-making authority for like 14 years after being hired. Given that, I don't know what these guys are so excited about. 14 years of near servitude does not seem exciting to me. But, then again, maybe they don't want any responsibility.

spend 20+ years teaching people not to have any imagination and i suppose you shouldn't be surprised if they just follow the herd to the slaughter

Business degrees? They're going to loose that morale very quickly. Also where are the girls?

I guess they mean it when they say "a bunch of grey suits." But what good is a rally going to do anyway?
The girls are all out looking for work, of course!
