Japanese advertising is.. laughable. Billion dollar athlete, one of the biggest superstars on EARTH, & some old executive greenlights this? Problem is - no one younger is stepping into the room with ideas/a commanding presence because of respect to elders/authority & no foreigner is being given an ear, so it remains.

Double edged sword, no room for smart, young, confident leaders to take charge and shake things up.

That's the beauty of Japan, they're well disciplined from childhood & are thought to respect each & everyone unlike the westerners.

that is japanese for you. super conservative and respecting elders is always important. oh well, what can you do, i bet their sales locally are enormous! hence why j-pop doesnt need to be global and why anime is almost always paywalled! oh my ancestors!!

these are the types of things my 79-year-old mother-in-law keeps giving me because she's in love with Ohtani

i suppose with the massive elderly population maybe these are selling like hotcakes 😂
