Yet I don't think Japan has "black friday" the ultimate consumerism "holiday".

The UK got it first and people are already rejecting it apparently.

They now have Cyber Monday on Amazon though!

Also there is a New Years Sale tradition that is very similar to Black Friday with the mad rushes for bargain items, fights for items (often women for clothing), "good luck bags" which is basically a lottery for trying to get lucky with the jackpot items, etc.
