Wow... that seems like a big middle finger to the many devoted and already very popular bloggers here in Japan.
But a middle finger to people already living here is to be expected. They simply perpetuate the economic flow. Not add to it.

lol and so now Canada is 3rd world? Nissan is going to do exactly what they need to do to stay strong. Almost every car worker in the world outsources production of certain parts to a variety of countries including Japan, Thailand, Canada, the US, and more.

There's an entire area of Japan closed off for the foreseeable future. It would seem that would be a pretty good storage space to start with.

I literally fell off my chair when I saw this commercial. This is unbelievably wrong in so many different ways. Congrats to AKB members, you are officially the words largest sell-outs!! And considering that you were designed to be sell-outs, the fact that a shameful and even disgusting level has been reached is quite an incredible feat to have accomplished. Selling ones image, voice, innocence, or even body still doesnt compare to selling the thought of having someones baby....

Corporate Japan was built off of such payoffs and "less-than-moral" business deals. This is nothing new, and definitely not the first to hit the news. Lets take a look back at Lockheed, or Sagawakyubin, or any of the other 1000s of such issues that have started coming to light since the 80's. Anyone who knows the business and history side of Japan well enough to venture into business deals here most likely already knows this. johninnaha said it clean and clear... the concern isnt with immoral behavior, its with a shift in image. Its all about keeping Face!

I think hitting someone on the head (twice for that matter), and forcing them off the train after causing a scene that would bring someone to a point bold enough to confront 6 full grown men (let alone police officers) gets close enough to the gray area to touch upon both of those points. And this is Japan. A country where even when you're off-duty or on your day off (from work, school, etc...), your actions are not just held against you, but against your company, school, etc... We may not like it, but its the truth.

hmmmm so much negativity and talk about assumptions... We're all friends here you know (^-^)~ As for other TVs being in the market.. that's why its called a "market" if it was only one brand, it would be called a "showroom" !! p.s. Panasonic is with an 'S' not a 'Z' (^_-)

tmarie - ...wow Papa actually has hit the nail on the head with his comment. with modern day TV's it doesnt really take a rocket scientist to figure it out. In fact, even someone who doesnt "know it all" can do it!! Really!! Most people who simply "know TVs have settings" can play around!

Edison was a creator. He created that what was new and useful. He dared to invent, and aimed to produce what no man had ever seen before. Jobs on the other hand was the worlds most insightful and creative re-producer. He took things that already existed, and made people love them He turned the MP3 player into the iPod, a product which has branded the entire "MP3 Player" category as "iPod" (much as many people call tissue kleenex" he took the smart phone which was once just a business tool, and turned it into something everyone in the world wanted. And he took the tablet PC, a device that failed to make any significant market penetration for years and years, and even though the research wouldnt sell, he turned it into something that has become a status symbol and playtoy for millions, and is growing into an indispensable tool of business for others.

I can tell you from working in the TV business for years that 8 million for an entire season isnt as heavy as it sounds. Back in their peak, the cast of Friends, were receiving over 1 million dollars per episode! At one point, the highest paid actor on TV was the man playing Gil Grisom (The main character of CSI) who was getting 2.3 million dollars per episode of the show.
Last year, TBS Japan flew in a "gennojin" and 2 Japanese staff into Toronto Canada. TBS paid for these 3, plus all of their hotel, transportation, food, and more for a total of 4 days. In addidion to these costs, they paid an ouside consultant over $200 per day plus meals, hotel, food, etc.. and a full stunt team was paid over an amount that rivals all of the previous put together! All of this... was for a 30 second segment of a live broadcast related to world cup.

JapanGal - a lot of businesses this day are utilizing online tools and doing quite well. it spreads quickly and cuts advertising costs. And while many may think it to be low and slimy, most people dont think that far. 90% of people just think "oooh! money!!" and click like, there-in sharing it with everyone on their facebook. A wise man once said "you'll never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator". Appeal to the masses and their mob-mentality, and you will do well.... unfortunately.
