In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we delve into the tragic and chilling story of the Myojo 56 Building Fire, one of Japan's deadliest unsolved arson cases, which claimed 44 lives in Tokyo's notorious Kabukicho red-light district in 2001. Beyond the immense loss, locals speak of strange occurrences and lingering spirits associated with the building's dark past. We investigate the fire's mysterious circumstances, the urban legends that arose, and the ghost stories that continue to haunt this part of Shinjuku.

This is a pretty big subject, so I will pick up a few of the more noteworthy differences.  In the West, salespeople, for the most part, are involved in an occupation for which they have received no training.  They are thrown into sales, to sink or swim.  If they don't sell, they don't eat, because of the sales commission structures.  Total commission based remuneration is a normal thing in most countries or at least the pay structures will have a very high “at risk” component.  In many cases, this drives desperation and salespeople saying anything to get a sale, in order to last another week in the job.  Cold calling potential clients is a big part of finding new buyers and a lot of attention is placed on prospecting and pipeline building activities.  Japan is quite different.  There are very few salespeople here in 100% commission sale jobs.  The simple reason is because they don't have to.  Anyone on that type of pay scale is in a very low level job and are usually pretty young people who not very well educated.  The touts you see on the street outside clubs in Kabukicho in Shinjuku or in Roppongi or Akasaka will no doubt be on high commissions and very low base salaries.  The societal status attached to those in commission sales is also very low and so it is very hard to find anyone who wants to do it.  In Japan, you don't want your daughter to marry one of them. Like the West, most Japanese people have no training in sales apart from a perfunctory On The Job Training exposure.  I say exposure because it is rather more cosmetic than concrete.  Your boss or one of the more experienced salespeople, will take you with them to visit a few clients and then bingo, you are out there on your own.  Your boss and the others in the firm went through the same process, so no one thinks anything about it.  This is a brilliant system for reproducing mediocrity, generation after generation.  In both cases of untrained Western and Japanese salespeople, they notoriously launch straight into their pitch without asking any questions of the buyer.  They immediately go into the dark pit of details, the facts, the spec, the brochure, the flyers, the powerpoint, etc. In the West, commission based salespeople can have ultra short professional lives in sales.  Most people, with little or no training, have simply no idea what they are doing and so they just fail. In short order, they are sayonara out of sales.  The Darwinian penalty for failure is sales oblivion.  In Japan, sales people are usually on a salary and bonus arrangement or base salary and commission, with the base being fairly high.  For some of my followers living outside of Japan, it may be news to learn that because of the labour laws here, incompetence is not an acceptable reason to fire people in companies.  We are predominantly talking about the mid-sized and big companies now, because in smaller firms that bias is not so pronounced.  Nevertheless, in Japan, the failing salesperson would get a good dose of verbal abuse from the boss, on a regular basis.  If they can't take that, then they will quit or if they can take it and won't quit, they will be transferred to another non-sales role elsewhere in the company.  Fairly useless salespeople are tolerated here, much more than in the West. Japanese larger companies are “generalist”, rather than “specialist” production machines.  Everyone is expected to migrate their way around the different parts of the company, picking up experience along the way over the course of their long career.  One of those rotations may be into the sales department.  Strangely, there is very limited activity applied to prospecting, especially cold calling.  Japanese salespeople rely on their firm's brand to do the bulk of the selling for them.  If you aren't very good at hunting, getting new clients, then no problem, you are assigned to become a farmer taking care of existing clients. Basically your job is to turn up and clip their ticket for the next regular order.  For all Japanese salespeople, you must be totally subservient and uber obedient to the buyer.  You must do whatever they say, be available 24 hours a day and put up with large amounts of crap to keep the buyer happy and loyal.  And trust me, Japanese buyers are incredibly picky and demanding.  If you make a mess of even this in the lesser demanding role of farmer, then you will get moved out and into another department.  You won't get fired. In the West, we are trained to persuade the buyer, to counter whatever they say, to have a comeback immediately.  We say the buyer is King, yet we need to get their royal agreement to buy.  There are lots of tactics used to get this “Yes”. Salespeople can be very aggressive and terrier like about this process.  They will argue with the buyer and try to convince them to reverse their opposition to purchasing.  For example, if the buyer says “I will think about it”, then the salespeople will ask them, “what in particular do you need to think about”, “who else will be involved in this decision” etc., and keep pushing hard to get a sale.  In Japan, the end decision maker is very vague and unclear sometimes inside companies.  When they say “we” will think about it, they mean it, because the person you are sitting across the table from cannot make the decision on their own.  Everyone who will be impacted by the buying decision has to be consulted and a consensus reached, before moving forward. In Japan, this always seems to take a lot of time. Now in Japan, the buyer is not King.  The buyer is God.  Salespeople must meekly obey whatever God says.  The buyer will solely direct the sales meeting conversation and will be looking for the salesperson's pitch, so they can fillet it and then destroy it.  This is a tried and true technique to reduce risk.  By pulling the pitch apart limb from limb, they want the seller to now show them this is not a risky decision that will come back later to haunt their career.  Part of this pitch and then firestorm of buyer criticism routine is that there are no discovery questions being asked of the buyer.  The salesperson is scared to ask the buyer, that is to say God, any questions, so they remain ignorant of their needs. If they happen to have what the buyer needs and they have successfully dealt with the risk question, then they will get a sale. The typical lack of sales training is similar in the West and Japan, but the degrees of aggression are quite different.  Pushy sales techniques just won't work here.  If you don't know how to get permission to ask questions, then be prepared to be like the grouse at a shooting afternoon in Scotland, as the well armed buyer gives you both barrels and blows your pitch out of the air.  Decisions are always going to take time because of the group orientation of this society and the buyer is never on your nor your boss's schedule.

In a rare interview, the influential Japanese designer speaks with BoF's Imran Amed about the philosophy that underpins his boundary-breaking career. Background:  After graduating from Keio University with a law degree, Yohji Yamamoto realised he wasn't interested in the law. “I didn't want to join the ordinary society,” he says. “So I told my mother after graduation … ‘I want to help you.'”  She agreed to let him work at her dressmaking shop in Kabukicho, an entertainment district in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, and learn from the sewing assistants if he enrolled at Bunka Fashion College, now famous for training designers such as Kenzo Takada, Junya Watanabe and Yamamoto himself. After graduating, Yamamoto went on to set up a small ready-to-wear company that slowly acquired buyers in all of Japan's major cities. This success eventually led him to Paris, where his signature tailoring and draping in oversized silhouettes created an aesthetic earthquake at Paris Fashion Week in 1981. Since then, Yamamoto has developed a cult following of loyalists who swear by his avant-garde designs. “I'm not working in the mainstream,” he says. “I'm working in the side stream.” This week on The BoF Podcast, we revisit Imran Amed's rare interview with the legendary Japanese designer about his storied career — and the mindset designers need to succeed.  Key Insights: Yamamoto says the fashion industry's increasingly fast-pace has come at the expense of true creativity. “For me the fashion business became a money business,” he said. “I felt I've been losing my competitors year by year.” Yamamoto believes that modern technology can be a distraction. “When I speak with young designers, I [tell] them shut your computer,” he said. “If you really want to see real things, real beauty, you have to go there by walking.” Yamamoto believes it's a designer's job to completely immerse themselves in design. “If you want to create something, keep resisting the mediocracy of ordinary things. It's a life's work. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to create something?” Additional Resources:  Watch the full interview here: Inside Yohji Yamamoto's Fashion Philosophy The Magic of Yohji Yamamoto

What Is Different About Selling In Japan?   This is a pretty big subject, so I will pick up a few of the more noteworthy differences.  In the West, salespeople, for the most part, are involved in an occupation for which they have received no training.  They are thrown into sales, to sink or swim.  If they don't sell, they don't eat, because of the sales commission structures.  Total commission based remuneration is a normal thing in most countries or at least the pay structures will have a very high “at risk” component. In many cases, this drives desperation and salespeople saying anything to get a sale, in order to last another week in the job.  Cold calling potential clients is a big part of finding new buyers and a lot of attention is placed on prospecting and pipeline building activities.    Japan is quite different. There are very few salespeople here in 100% commission sale jobs.  The simple reason is because they don't have to.  Anyone on that type of pay scale is in a very low level job and are usually pretty young people who not very well educated.  The touts you see on the street outside clubs in Kabukicho in Shinjuku or in Roppongi or Akasaka will no doubt be on high commissions and very low base salaries.  The societal status attached to those in commission sales is also very low and so it is very hard to find anyone who wants to do it.  In Japan, you don't want your daughter to marry one of them.   Like the West, most Japanese people have no training in sales apart from a perfunctory On The Job Training exposure.  I say exposure because it is rather more cosmetic than concrete.  Your boss or one of the more experienced salespeople, will take you with them to visit a few clients and then bingo, you are out there on your own.  Your boss and the others in the firm went through the same process, so no one thinks anything about it.  This is a brilliant system for reproducing mediocrity, generation after generation. In both cases of untrained Western and Japanese salespeople, they notoriously launch straight into their pitch without asking any questions of the buyer.  They immediately go into the dark pit of details, the facts, the spec, the brochure, the flyers, the powerpoint, etc.   In the West, commission based salespeople can have ultra short professional lives in sales.  Most people, with little or no training, have simply no idea what they are doing and so they just fail. In short order, they are sayonara out of sales.  The Darwinian penalty for failure is sales oblivion.  In Japan, sales people are usually on a salary and bonus arrangement or base salary and commission, with the base being fairly high.  For some of my followers living outside of Japan, it may be news to learn that because of the labour laws here, incompetence is not an acceptable reason to fire people in companies.  We are predominantly talking about the mid-sized and big companies now, because in smaller firms that bias is not so pronounced.    Nevertheless, in Japan, the failing salesperson would get a good dose of verbal abuse from the boss, on a regular basis.  If they can't take that, then they will quit or if they can take it and won't quit, they will be transferred to another non-sales role elsewhere in the company. Fairly useless salespeople are tolerated here, much more than in the West.   Japanese larger companies are “generalist”, rather than “specialist” production machines.  Everyone is expected to migrate their way around the different parts of the company, picking up experience along the way over the course of their long career.  One of those rotations may be into the sales department.  Strangely, there is very limited activity applied to prospecting, especially cold calling.  Japanese salespeople rely on their firm's brand to do the bulk of the selling for them.  If you aren't very good at hunting, getting new clients, then no problem, you are assigned to become a farmer taking care of existing clients. Basically your job is to turn up and clip their ticket for the next regular order.    For all Japanese salespeople, you must be totally subservient and uber obedient to the buyer. You must do whatever they say, be available 24 hours a day and put up with large amounts of crap to keep the buyer happy and loyal.  And trust me, Japanese buyers are incredibly picky and demanding.  If you make a mess of even this in the lesser demanding role of farmer, then you will get moved out and into another department.  You won't get fired.   In the West, we are trained to persuade the buyer, to counter whatever they say, to have a comeback immediately.  We say the buyer is King, yet we need to get their royal agreement to buy.  There are lots of tactics used to get this “Yes”. Salespeople can be very aggressive and terrier like about this process.  They will argue with the buyer and try to convince them to reverse their opposition to purchasing.  For example, if the buyer says “I will think about it”, then the salespeople will ask them, “what in particular do you need to think about”, “who else will be involved in this decision” etc., and keep pushing hard to get a sale.    In Japan, the end decision maker is very vague and unclear sometimes inside companies.  When they say “we” will think about it, they mean it, because the person you are sitting across the table from cannot make the decision on their own.  Everyone who will be impacted by the buying decision has to be consulted and a consensus reached, before moving forward. In Japan, this always seems to take a lot of time.   Now in Japan, the buyer is not King.  The buyer is God.  Salespeople must meekly obey whatever God says.  The buyer will solely direct the sales meeting conversation and will be looking for the salesperson's pitch, so they can fillet it and then destroy it. This is a tried and true technique to reduce risk.    By pulling the pitch apart limb from limb, they want the seller to now show them this is not a risky decision that will come back later to haunt their career.  Part of this pitch and then firestorm of buyer criticism routine is that there are no discovery questions being asked of the buyer.  The salesperson is scared to ask the buyer, that is to say God, any questions, so they remain ignorant of their needs. If they happen to have what the buyer needs and they have successfully dealt with the risk question, then they will get a sale.   The typical lack of sales training is similar in the West and Japan, but the degrees of aggression are quite different.  Pushy sales techniques just won't work here.  If you don't know how to get permission to ask questions, then be prepared to be like the grouse at a shooting afternoon in Scotland, as the well armed buyer gives you both barrels and blows your pitch out of the air. Decisions are always going to take time because of the group orientation of this society and the buyer is never on your nor your boss's schedule.

Dealing With Crime In Business in Japan   Crime is going to be a feature of any society.  There are going to be different elements of crime – activities that affect your personal safety, fraud coming from outside your firm and fraud coming from within your company.  Organised crime the Yakuza are well established here.  They even have their offices with their own shingle, announcing which gang they are. They are not as strong as they once were, but they are still a force.  The chances of a foreign run business having trouble with the Yakuza is pretty low. For cultural and language reasons they find dealing with us too hard.  There are plenty of local Japanese they can exploit and that is a much easier to do.    They run prostitution, drugs and extortion.  There have been media reports at different times of a Japanese company President or employee being killed by Yakuza, because he wouldn't pay them off or whatever. A new law introduced a few years ago that held the gang boss response for the crimes of his underlings, has had a strong negative impact on the Yakuza, but they are still operating and probably always will be.    You are more likely to run into Yakuza in a club or bar.  You are out on the town, you go for drinks, and are having a great time.  When you get the bill, it is the equivalent of the GNP of a medium sized African country.  You protest and that is when the Yakuza chinpiraor punks, appear to persuade you to shut up and pay.  And you better pay.    If you go to places like Roppongi or Kabukicho in Shinjuku in Tokyo, then you will be in Yakuza territory and they will be running clubs and bars.  If you get into any trouble with Yakuza on the street, the safest place for you is at the police Koban or police box.  Don't try and sort it out yourself, get the cops involved.  Anyway, you will have to work pretty hard to get yourself into trouble with the Yakuza in Japan, it is very, very unlikely to ever happen.   Fraud is a different question.  There are plenty of cases here of Japanese being taken to the cleaners through fraud. They have their share of ponzi schemes here too.  Often they are pretty bad ponzi schemes, in the sense they collect the money and then rapidly disappear. They don't even bother to string it out over a number of years like Bernard Madoff did in the US.  Here they grab your cash and then they are long gone.   You also hear anecdotal cases where family wealth has been stolen through business dealings with bad people.  My Japanese wife's family and friends all know of cases where a solid family has lost wealth through fraud from supposedly reliable business partners. Fraud does happen here.  If the deal sounds too good to be true, it is probably not something you want to be part of.  There is no such thing as a free lunch in business and it is all hard work, hard work, hard work.   It is very difficult at the start to distinguish which business partners are the good ones guys and which ones are the crooks. Keep you wits about you.  Having said that, the chances of this happening are pretty slight.  Again all of those cultural and language issues make it hard for them to target you. And there are so many gullible Japanese kamo or targets anyway, why waste their time on the likes of you.  Counter intuitively, speaking Japanese can be a disadvantage in this regard. I was a kamoin a real estate deal here and did lose a considerable sum of dough as a result.  They had all the aces as it turned out and all I had was ignorance, but it was a strong lesson to do your due diligence here really well.    The other part of fraud is inside your own company.  There are no shortage of cases of people stealing from banks, from their companies, etc. It does happen.  In big companies, some staff are fabricating expense reports, to get the cash for themselves.  There was a case recently of a bank employee who was hiving off cash from some transactions he was involved in.  Often it is driven by bad gambling debts and they become desperate to pay the money back, especially if they are dealing with the Yakuza.  Stealing from you sounds a lot better than getting beaten up or killed by the gang.    In the past, some of the short term, high interest cash loan businesses would use Yakuza muscle to collect the money.  The usurious interest rates made it virtually impossible to ever clear the loan. That got cleaned up after a lot of scandals surfaced, but there is a lot of pressure to pay the loan back, so stealing from your employer starts to look like the only way out.  The other usual driver is the middle aged married guy, trying to fund his young girlfriend's required lifestyle and he starts taking money from the company to make it all work.  This can be going on for years, before it is finally discovered.    Part of that reason is that Japan is such an honest culture that we all get lulled into a false sense of security.  We don't have the checks and balances in place because we are so trusting.  The people involved have worked out the weaknesses in the system and they exploit that gap for their own financial benefit. Japan is a very honest country, so the chances of this happening are quite low, but they are not zero.  So we should make sure we have some mechanisms in place to just be on the safe side of the equation.
