Snapshots from earlier this week. Head office VIPs visiting Japan to discuss long term strategical initiatives.Snapshot 1:
Sitting in the meeting room, looking at power point slides and discuss strenghts and weaknesses of potential aquisition targets and how well their offering would fit with our own portfolio. Going through manufacturing capabilities of these companies "I think their factory in Miyazaki produces the catheters while the Akita one produces the pre-filled syringes?" etc galore. Serious meeting.
Snapshot 2:
After a nice dinner at a rustic Izakaya we took them to to experience a little informal drinking and eating, taking the group to Karaoke. Me being "ordered" by a very decisive female guest to order a bunch of whiskey to get the action going.
An hour and a half later, the whole group is standing on the tables, neckties tied around their foreheads and screaming to "Fight for your right to Party" by the Beastie Boys.
Japan can make some strange things happen, but hey, it was all in good fun! Now I just have to try and exorcise the song out of my head, which is easier said than done...

You pop caught you smoking - and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite - smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Bust it!)
You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight
Your welcome :)
I've got that album (Licensed To Ill) on the original vinyl.
After such a serious meeting, having fun is a must.
Thanks Chris, now it's back in my head, but at least it's a good song!
Snapshot 1: be happy you are not working in tampon industry... sanitary tampon industry...
Snapshot2: be happy you are not working for US company. Drunken japanese with Beastie Boys are nothing compared to their christian sect like talks with drunken fat americans singing hopping around with Karaokemashine ad singing "we are the champions".. like west europeans. they eat "finger food", drink their sect/beer and go to the club/pub/brothel to crash the day..
I wish my (French) head office boss would sing the Beastie Boys.
Last time we went Karaoke, he started torturing some Paul Simon and Billy Joel songs, but he can't sing so had me finish all of his songs.
At least he didn't go for any Sinatra.
