Oh my gosh! "Oedo Onsen Monogatari" in Shanghai? Japan side "There is no relation at all"

A facility with the same name as "Oedo Onsen Monogatari", a hot bathing facility in Tokyo, opened in Shanghai, China.

[Comments from visited Chinese]
"When I heard that the Oedo Onsen in Japan brought a chain store in Shanghai, I came to see it, Japan is far, but here is close."
"I heard that a famous hot spring in Japan also opened in Shanghai, I came to see it."

Oh my gosh!
The Japanese side commented "There is no relation at all".
It is also officially written on the official website.




Please be careful!
Hygiene control standards of Japanese public baths are severe.
Japanese companies apply overseas as well.
I am anxious.

As always, I can not understand it.
Why China does it do business in the replica of Japan?

Japan also imitated overseas products after the war.
However, they have fought as Japanese goods by acquiring skills and others.
Never, Japan does not do business as a replica.
Moreover, we abide by international rules.
The current situation, the people of China is the question whether and how to think.

The future correspondence between the two will draw attention.

[With Moving Image] The "Kei car" in Japan continues to evolve.

They are designed to comply with Japanese government tax and insurance regulations, and in most rural areas are exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle. This especially advantaged class of cars was developed to popularize motorization in the postwar era. While successful in Japan, the genre is generally too specialized and too small to be profitable in export markets.

The cars feature yellow license plates, earning them the name "yellow-plate cars" (black numbers on yellow background for private use and yellow numbers on black background for commercial use) in English-speaking circles. Because regulations only restrict physical size and engine displacement (and latterly outright power), manufacturers have been able to introduce many advanced technologies to the class. As a result, kei cars are often available with forced-induction engines, automatic and CV transmissions, front-, rear-, and four-wheel drive, air conditioning, GPS, and many other features.

Daihatsu, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki all manufacture kei cars, while Nissan sells badge-engineered Mitsubishi and Suzuki models, Mazda offers badge-engineered Suzuki models, and Toyota and Subaru offer badge-engineered Daihatsu models. German brand Smart offered a kei version of its Fortwo called the Smart K in Japan at Yanase dealerships from 2001 to 2004 with specially developed rear fenders, reduced tire dimensions and track width, to conform to kei car standards, though ultimately the model sold the fewest examples of a kei car when it was marketed.

[Today's News] Start the Apple Pay in Japan. However, access is access failure in intensive.


Delivery of iOS 10.1 will start on October 25, came to Apple Pay can be used in Japan.

Currently, available card is limited. In Japan, on a cash basis even now, the use of credit cards are behind.


In Why Apple has launched the use of Apple Pay.

Attention, because it was to enable the use of Suica JR East issues.

Suica is being introduced in the JR East "common travel card" "electronic money".
Issuance is, in 2015 the end of March, about 50.7 million copies.
The card, the contactless IC card system FeliCa technology is used.
Of course, also it corresponds to each Kurejjitokado.


Japan rides, most corresponds to the non-contact type IC card system.


And, today, the access has occurred access failure in concentrated, but downloads of Suica application of "AppStore".

The application and issue the card of Suica is in the East.
Other cards are present in western Japan.

However, Suica is, it is possible mutual use and other local card.
Thus, iPhone users in other regions are also available.

More than expected of JR East, it might have been waiting for the other regions people.

Did you know that Chinese companies? The secret of success Anker.


"The success of the Japanese market difficult." Anker in which is said to have stretched out rapidly sales.

This is, I also Often hear.

Anker is a fabless manufacturer that was founded by the US Google graduates in 2009 (do not own production facilities in-house, manufacturer specializing in product development, quality control, marketing and customer service). Its products are sold accumulated more than 10 million mainly in developed countries such as the US, UK, Germany, Sunday, has grown to boast each genre sales No.1 in the Amazon. The 2015 fiscal year to increase the sales of also about 300 billion yen in the global, has established itself in the top brand.

This If neither be taken a huge cost on both sides of the intermediaries, because it is possible to Amazon and ebay is a huge global market, which has been established over a long period of time (sales network), as they use the sense of trust in the sale .
In addition, there is a great advantage that the direct user's voice can be heard.

Japan advance in 2013, yet only 10 people the size of the organization at the moment, 10 billion yen from fiscal 2013, and fiscal 2014 revenue of 2 billion yen. The third term of the 2015 fiscal year of 30 million yen or more, has made rapid growth.

And there in the Company profile would like to note.

Where to be, and that the head office is in China, it has not been described that the CEO is a Meng Yang.

It has been described, "Anker was founded in 2009, the brainchild of a group of friends working at Google."

Most people of Japanese do not know that.

Surprisingly, this it is important.

In Japan, even in a good product, only say that Chinese companies, because there is a tendency to be shunned.

Never, does not mean that look down on China.
This is now a reality.

In addition, the phrase of the "was founded by the US Google graduates" has a tremendous brand strength.

Japan of "UNIQLO" is also done the same thing.

"UNIQLO" was a publicity at its inception, "quality", "cheap".
However, as the "UNIQLO" brand is a major, performance of the inner has continued to grow, such as fleece, Put on product was slowed.

Then, commodity put on was to remove the tag of "UNIQLO". Then performance was continued growth.
Eventually, the user is that because there is a resistance to it, which is known for wearing a cheap commodity.

This is, attention is there, especially in the Japanese market.
