    That's the fatal flaw in your tactics - discussing it with Japanese. What would they know?

    i like the idea NINTY would manufacture instant noodles.
    or games about/with instant noodles/instant noodles eating monsters.

    though a rather useless reply, it does not hurt anyone.
    just another opportunity to display my signature (it is not that big anymore).

    and of course, casio watches (the 80's models), the slogan "nothing is impossible" (toyota)

    I gave them the list before, and asked which they considered the most important among these.
