The article laments the lack of innovation, then introduces a groupon clone as an exemplar of how things should be. <eyeroll/>

I also wish that when they do these "The problem with Japan" articles, that they actually interview someone Japanese.

While I'm sure that Jeff Char is an amazing man, and has done great things for tech incubation in Japan -- I would like to know what problems the Japanese feel they have with Entrepreneurship.

I agree that speaking with some "locals" is useful, but don't entirely discount foreigners who have lived there for a while - they tend to see the quirks more clearly.
