Japan's group mentality leads ordsprog

Japan's group mentality leads people to travel in predictable waves. So the secret of a happy, stress-free life in Japan is to do everything 'wrong.

Japan is unhappy about China's rise. From top to bottom in Japan, nobody is happy to see it. Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity.

These are the symbols of the old Japan which was closed to outsiders, ... They will continue to be serious irritants. ... Unless Japan solves these problems, it gives a lie to the claim that Japan is being market driven.

There is tremendous promise for Japan to be an international security leader, ... We have proven to the world that Japan and the U.S. can be mutually supportive partners. ... I have a lot of confidence in Japan.

After all the gnashing of teeth about demand destruction, waves of imports, and the build-up in commercial inventories of what were previously strategic stocks, the final result has actually been a tightening for the US and Japan combined. Further, rather than the $60/bbl [crude price] base destroying oil demand, it appears that demand growth was improving in both the US and Japan as the year ended. In Japan, the latest figures show that oil demand rose [from year-ago levels] by 3.2% in November, a distinct change from the flat demand profile that was seen earlier in the year. Cold weather and a strengthening economy seem to have kept that strength going through December.

These writers are tapping into a frustration that is almost universal among young people in Japan. Japan's economic bubble has burst and for many young people, a period of great promise seems to be over. They're left with no sense of direction, no sense of what really matters in life.

We're hopeful this unfortunate matter can be quickly resolved so we can continue rebuilding our export business in Japan. Our shipments to Japan have been steady since the market reopened. However, as expected, volumes have been limited because of Japan's import restrictions.

I've been surprised to know that people in the U.S. often mix up Japan and China. It is sad to us, because Japan is a different country from China. It is not right to assume that Asian people are all from China. Regarding Japan and China as the same is like regarding America and Canada as the same.

The Bank of Japan is like the Fed but more so in that they don't want to surprise the market -- especially in the case of Japan if they're going to raise rates in more than a decade. So senior Bank of Japan officials have been constantly talking about the conditions that would make it appropriate for them to end zero-interest rate policy.

I had no idea it was such a big deal. We were touring in Japan beforehand and people kept telling us they were flying from Japan to be at Coachella.

Japan does not rest solely upon the efforts of people living now ... Japan stands upon the sacrifices of others in the past.

Junichiro Koizumi

Sixty years ago, an American ambassador to Japan, echoing the conventional wisdom of the times, confidently told President Harry Truman that 'democracy in Japan will never work,' ... Today, Japan is one of the world's model democracies, with one of the largest economies in the world.

If I feel just as confident in Japan, and if my natural pace enables me to challenge for victory, then I will go for it. If I see that keeping up with the leader - or leaders - means that I have to take excessive risks, then I will concentrate on the championship and try to wrap it up in Japan. It will be nice to be able to go to Corsica with a free mind. The Tour of Corsica is one of the rallies I really do want to win!

[The rise in oil prices] wouldn't be quite as calamitous in Japan as it would in the U.S., where the people are more energy-dependent, ... Even though Japan may be efficient in its use of oil, like everyone else it still crimps your monthly budget. They're paying more for gasoline, so they're not immune to that.

the focus will be very largely on Japan and the urgent importance of Japan implementing effective measures to lead to a sustained, domestic, demand-led growth, which is critical not only for the Japanese people but for the people of Asia and, indeed, for recovery in the rest of the world.
