様態の副詞

To people living outside of Asia, Japan can often seem like a bit of an effort to actually get to

After all a 3 week trip to Japan for a family of four  could probably bankrupt a sultan

程度の副詞

So it's the case of many people who want to come to Japan, but they just need that final push to get here

So today I want to give you 5 reasons to come to Japan

And who knows sometime in the near future your pale jet-lagged face may pass through the gates here

Japanese Marketing  is something I often feel is overlooked

Because regardless of whether  it's Tv Commercials, products or billboards

They offer a great insight into  the Japanese way of thinking

and surround every minute of every day of your time in Japan

After all, having just arrived in Tokyo  and strained your neck

looking after billions of billboards dotted across the Tokyo skyline

You'll stumble down a street and have your ears assaulted by more commercials

And then you will crash out in your Hotel room

switch on the TV and be confronted by an advert

for a USB stick with superior lighter functionality

But to be honest, commercials like this  more than make up for that

This feeling of positivity  that Japanese marketing sprays out

Just the other day I went to the convenient store  to buy some Red Bull

and just some salted potato chips and came back

and a pack of Happy Happy Chicken Potato Chips

Literally pronounced in Japanese, Happy Chicken

Now in the UK we don't have Happy Chicken flavored Potato Chips

We don't have Happy Chicken flavored at all

But I feel happy that before the chicken met its demise

and  so I feel good about myself when I eat them

But because most products in Japan have some English written on them

Even though they are marketed to the 98% of the population who are Japanese

You get a neverending supply of  fantasticly named products

For example Pocari Sweat, the energy sports drink

who use English because they think it sounds cool

After all just the other day I walked past  a poster for a rap concert

and with supporting acts from High-Bridge

Karaoke probably doesn't require an introduction

if you're one of these people who dream of

singing in front of  drunken cheering Japanese salarymen

Then your dreams are absolutely achievable

And if like me you're interested  in either 80's music or linguistics

you'll find unique interpretations of English songs can actually lead to the discovery

And if you listen really closely you can  sometimes hear conspiracy theories about Lebanon

But they provide the perfect atmosphere for the culmination of a drunken night out

is who you take with you. Otherwise, this happens:

to sing at this level would be considered  a crime agaisnt humanity

but in Japan, everybody sings, everybody gets involved

So if you are in Japan even just for a few days you can have a good time

and if you are in a Major city,  there are also Themed-Bars, for example:

the Lockup, where you actually get lockedup in a cell through the duration of your meal

and my personal favorite: Robot Restaurant

where for 45 minutes  you sit in a chair and question your own sanity

where 6 million women riding a variety of vehicles

race around this tiny room and dangle from a mind-fuck merry-go-round mounted to the roof

or the ceiling and they go round and round

Japan has been known to suffer from Galapagos Effect

where products and customs are developed independant from the rest of the world

and this has led to many of Japan's unique Product aimed specifically at a domestic market

For example over 10 years ago Japanese mobile phones were the first to have television and cameras built in

And Japan has a whole  different type of car called the K-Car

specifically designed for  narrower roads and shorter distances

Fast-food companies as well have some pretty cool variants specifically for Japanese people

Such as the McDonald's Premium Burgers  wrapped up like iPods

where despite the cost of about 7000 yens

its still the most popular time of the year  for KFC in Japan

Even holidays like Valentine's Day  have subtle cultural differences

For example, on February the 14th for Valentine's Day

Girls give boys presents and then a month later

And it's said that the returning gift from the boy should be about three times the value

So what you can do on the Post-it note, you can write

anything you want, then, when you're done
