Currently 1$ is only 80yen, It's been already a week to keep this lower rate, I remember Bank of Japan was struggling to fix exchange rates USD/JPY, when 1$ was 85yen, It's killing exporting business, hope it's fixed asap.
We've moved to our new house and he bought the new TV, 60inch SHARP one.
When I followed him to the shop, I get to see so many Japanese products like SHARP, Sony,Panasonic,,, people here love JP products but it has strong competitor from Korea nowadays, people compare price, quality, design,etc ,so what I think about JP products are more advanced than SAMSUNG is that first of all, product quality! you are able to use JP products for long time with great customer support service, and second, strong brand name which was established from long time ago, since JP company barely change the presentation concept in long term, so people already have a clear corporate image for each JP companies.
But in other words, JP company is not very flexible like SAMSUNG, so it's kind of slow to adjust product prices as fast as SAMSUNG does according to economy, and then compare to SAMSUNG product, JP products are normally way to expensive.Even if the quality is great, not many people can afford that fancy expensive products anymore. You could barely compare the real product quality at first sight anyways. And SAMSUNG products have very stylish design. I see every new products have some new design concepts which attract young generation's consumers, JP products are very good quality but not much big improvements design wise,,,
I still think Japan products have way more market share in the world, but in order to keep up with it, we are required flexible changes with knowing timely economic trend.
I love my new house so much! :)
