I would have liked to see the whole of the article but it seems that the whole thing was brought down due to subscribing being needed. That is a normal thing to do in man countries and Japan is one of the most xenophobic even if they say they arent.

While it seems mostly like advertising for this consultant firm, it's a nice case study into one business owners move to Japan and all the intricacies that could've gotten in his way. Still feel like I'm missing something though, such as who actually backed up this foreigner in order for him to see his success in Japan.
