When I was a teenager in the 80's and The Absolute Sound was my favorite hifi magazine, I always thought the Japanese were crazy because they did not believe in an "absolute" sound but were trying to create their "own sound".
They also seemed crazy to be listening to old record players like Garrard and EMTs , using tube amplifiers instead of sexy modern Krells, to drive super ugly, large and complicated, horn speakers.
In the last decade, I guess I was one of the many people who realized that in those respects, the Japanese were more right than wrong.
But these Japanese are also old and very soon all we will have are financially-challenged Japanese who only know iPod sound. (and thats all they can afford after 20 years of economic stagnation)
At this rate, Japanese food will also be much less interesting in 5 years.
