Crave UK: Five ways the Japanese are technically better than us

Japanese TV programs have more than their fair share of weirdness. But let's be honest--when you've seen one British or American game show, you've pretty much seen them all. Click on the image above to read about yet more ways the Japanese have the Brits beat.

We at Crave UK are, not surprisingly, British, so we know when we're being beaten at something. If we're honest, we're beaten at most things. Especially sports, and even more embarrassingly, the sports we invented. When it comes to technology, we do have a proud history of inventing such monumental gadgets as the modern flushing toilet, the television, and the ZX Spectrum.

But even with our glorious history, we'd never pretend to rival Japan for sheer technological nous. If you speak to people who have been to Japan, they're full of barely believable tales of shops selling things so futuristic they couldn't even comprehend what they were for. Or why they had a picture of a cat on them.

So we felt it was time to honor the Japanese by taking a good look at some of the many things they do better than us. Here are five of the most compelling reasons to sell all your stuff on eBay and move to the Land of the Rising Sun.

..."Five ways the Japanese are technically better than us...????

I can tell you and prove to everyone another FIVE WAYS Japanese "really better" than all of us :

Toshiba Corp. and NEC Electronics both would prefer to anticipate reporting losses for the fiscal year ending March 31,2009...

As well as ..."Restructuring alone won't help companies in today's economic conditions," said Masaru Hamasaki, a senior strategist at Toyota Asset Management. "If companies cut jobs or shrink capital spending based on their current earnings level, they risk narrowing their business capacity...."

NEC, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Mitsubishi should better "destruct" or "report" their so called 'hidden network' in Singapore - Finland [Kouvola warehouses] - Russian Retail chains (especially may be mentioned two international retailer's chains: MediaMarkt Saturn and Auchan).

It is not a very dark secret for the progressive mankind that Toshiba's and Mitsubishi?s Headquarters are receiving revenge strikes from Russian Electronics Mafia...:

If you open Moscow Yellow Pages, you would be surprised how many foreign companies have their offices in Moscow...

Although the international financial crisis has caused the collapse which has never occurred since the Great Depression, the Russian Federation is still considered as a quiet harbor.

Amongst the transcontinental companies there are a considerable number of Japanese corporations such as Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, NEC, Sanyo, etc.

Though the latter are thought to be well-known for their successful in retailing of high-quality products worldwide, there have been cases which must be interesting to investigating institutions.

We are going to take Mr. Vadim Danilov?s employee fraud case including asset misappropriation, money laundering, and kickback scheme.

The story goes Mr. Vadim Danilov was hired by Mr. Harry Fujimaki to work for Toshiba Corporation (Kabushiki-gaisha Toshiba) as a general logistics manager in Russia.

The event occurred in 2004.

In the course of two years Mr. Danilov had been ?employed? in other areas such as, a certification specialist, customs broker, trader, promoter, etc. Mr. Danilov worked effectively and honestly thinking that he was a team player contributing to Toshiba?s profits.

Moreover, Mr. Koichiro Natsume, an executive manager of Toshiba Corporation in the CIS, declared him a Toshiba Official Trader at the Conference at the Imperial Park Hotel, Moscow, 2006.

In addition, Mr. Natsume declared that Mr. Vadim Danilov was officially registered by Toshiba Corporation as Toshiba's Official Trader named ?the Ninth Wave? in the UK.

To conclude the announced procedures, Mr. Natsume issued to Danilov?s Ninth Wave an invoice which was paid to a TCMS official account at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Singapore Branch.

Furthermore, there were other financial transactions during 2006-2007-2008 years, executed by Mr. Vadim Danilov between clients and Toshiba Consumer Marketing Singapore, SMBC Singapore branch account.

After all the payments were completed, Mr. Natsume vanished somewhere in Japan. Toshiba Corporation managers in Russia, Japan and Singapore refused to explain to Mr. Vadim Danilov how those payments had been used.

Toshiba Corporation & TCMS, Mitsubishi and MCLogi, insist nowadays that Mr. Vadim Danilov has no evidences and the corporations declare now that Mr. Vadim Danilov had never had any relations with Toshiba Group Companies or Mitsubishi's MCLogi stuff.

Moreover: the Toshiba and Mitsubishi MCLogi staff has been running away from Mr. Danilov for 35 months (!).
The Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo also refused to investigate the accident and explained to Mr. Danilov that he had no right to bring in an action against a Japanese citizen.
It would be better for the Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo to check diligently backgrounds of Toshiba's and Mitsubishi's Conformity Certification procedures manipulations in Russian Federation. As well as Customs Clearance documents with false Japanese stamps and signatures of imaginary "Japanese Customs" or "Thailand Customs"...

It seems to be a confrontation between David and Goliath but David had had no backup?

It seems The Heaven's Referee is judging nowadays all the involved sides by crisis processings ...
