Japan has no one to blame but itself - by not being able to take full advantage of a low cost producing base like India for exporting all over Asia and the developing world, they have ceded the market without a fight. What a shame for sch a great manufacturing country.
What we need is a new breed of industrialists in Japan that are more global and less hesitant in playing in markets and cultures that may not be similar to theirs.

Paris Hilton in Tokyo
Most Japanese couldn't recognize her in person - they have never seen her with so much clothes on - on the Internet pictures and videos :-)

Amagasaki Train Accident
On a sober note - the accident at Amagasaki was a terrible disaster - my condolences to family members of all who lost their lives.
I travel from JR Osaka to Itami stations quite often - passing through Amagasaki. I have always admired the dilligence with which most JR drivers operate - their manners and devotion is quite different from the staff you see in public transits in USA. However, it seems that all is not as it seems - corporate greed and cutting corners on quality and safety is being imported into Japan from USA, just like layoffs, outsourcing and other things.
