I once tried Wanko Soba (104 bowls), but these days, anytime I even taste those kinds of noodles, my stomach almost violently screams at me "NO! not again!"

These posters annoy me. The subtext is always "don't do anything out of the ordinary. Some gormless Oyaji in glasses might complain!"

Too little, too late.
Posted in: Often, there is no such thing as correct answer in business. In some cases, knowledge can do nothing to solve real problems. Companies now desire personnel who can think on their feet and make breakthroughs on problems.

I wonder if it isn't a kind of arrogance that they think they know best, or sanitising/re-claiming it for themselves in the classic 'us and them' mentality of the Japanese. Remember the cult classic "My big fat Greek Wedding"? It was reduced to "big fat wedding" in katakana, thus totally missing the point of the title. To me, Katakana titles smack of a kind of glib formulaic generalisation that plasters over the subtleties of movie titles, as they do with borrowed words. I would understand if they had a Japanese version of the title that puts it within a Japanese cultural context, but not the kind of reduction that katakana does to it.
