As some book on this topic said:

The people who tell you it's impossible to sell in Japan:
	a) Are threatened here
	b) Tried it there an failed [sometimes due to the protectionism,
	and sometimes not understanding the market there].
	c) Are doing good business in Japan, and have no particular reason
	to wish for more competition there.
