I have two questions for Keen Japan A quick search of the net shows me the Keen Newport retails for 95USD at regular (not discount) stores in the US but here they cost 18,000yen (the Rakuten average seems to be around 11,550). At current exchange rates $95.00 is 7300 yen!! How do you justify this discrepancy?
Secondly, Keen has a fine track record in, and prides itself on it's environmentalism and Corporate Social Responsibility as mentioned in the interview. How does tying up with Itochu, which has exactly the opposite reputation, fit with Keen's vision?

I'd be pretty happy with a cool tax free million yen right now. Might actually go home for Christmas for a change. Congratulations to her.

Looks exactly like a Lotus Elise! Which I believe even Tesla admits. Can never understand why Lotus doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves. The hugely popular Mazda Roadster was an exact copy of the Elan and now with all the buzz surrounding the Tesla you're comparing it to a Toyota. aaaaaaaarrrrgh

If you like the style and elan (pun intended) of the car but don't care so much much about it being electric - just check out the original Lotus. Exact same car for a lot less money and probably pretty good gas mileage too. Much rather get the Elise for fun and a Prius for shopping both for the price of a Tesla

LOL!!
Good luck ever trying to catch them on this. First of all you have to find the lower price within 24 hours. They can lower the price, for the exact same itinerary on the exact same day, days or weeks later and you are SOL. Sure they will allow you to rebook - for 25,000 yen per ticket plus 2500 for having the new ticket issued through an agent

Why are suitcases always so expensive? R&D costs? These things are more than likely made in china and can't possibly cost any more than 5000 or 6000 yen to produce.

What this article completely neglects is the fact that the yen/dollar exchange rate is at historic highs. The beef that they are importing from the states is, unless they are locked into long term contracts, significantly cheaper. Why not pass those savings on the the customers. Don't call it a spiraling recession sale but a strong yen sale and people will be lining up around the block.
I'm getting tired of these companies that bitch and moan and raise prices when rates are unfavorable and then completely ignore their customers when the shoe is on the other foot

uh.. that's actually Kiko. Masako is sitting next to her husband directly behind the Emperor and Empress. I'l agree it is a funny shot but it is nice to see them all enjoying a day out. Although I'm surprised the Emperor made it after his exhausting last minute hastily arranged meeting with China's Vice President Xi Jinping ;-)
