Japan domestic market\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nThe Japan domestic market (JDM) is a term used to describe Japan's market for purchasing things, chiefly automobiles. A similar term, United States domestic market (USDM) is used to differentiate US-only products. Some people interpret "M" as model. The term also pertains to the parts and products only available within the specific local Marketplace. Therefore, unless you are in Japan, parts have to be specifically imported to your target nation. There are a variety of importers that bring in these parts and have now expanded what once was a JDM only product into other marketplaces.\n\nIn recent years the popularity of JDM auto parts within the United States has grown significantly as a result of the import tuning wave. Part of the reasoning behind this could be associated with drifting, a a traditionally Asian motorsport to only recently make its way to U.S. soil. As a result it is often believed that Japanese companies, because of their experience in developing sports such as drifting have great experience with developing the capabilities of these cars; therefore being able to research design and test parts more well suited to the demands of the sport.\n\nWhat also sets JDM parts aside from others is the fact that Japanese Vehicles usually had different features and equipment to vehicles delivered elsewhere. In the case of Honda specifically, there have been different versions of the famed Type R B18C, B16B and K20A engines which were sent to other markets. Usually Japanese vehicle manufacturers have detuned these engines for other markets. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_domestic_market )

Do you mean how can you put this in Japanese? If you want that, just edit your post and I'll try my best to do it.\n\nIn English I think it sounds less kiss-uppy as:\n"Dear Sir,\nI am please to inform you that the in-country director of XDC wishes to meet with you on 29 December 2006. Is this a convient time for you or do you wish to select a different date?\n\nI look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, please accept the assurance that you have my highest consideration and respect.\nThank you for your time,\n[your name, your boss's name, your company, or whatever]"

My friend's wife is from Colombia.  They met while they were studying at an American university, and when he returned to Japan, she followed him.  They eventually got married, but she had a real difficult time for the first year or so because she spoke no Japanese.  Now, after having been in Japan for ten years, she says she loves it here and never want to move to another country, including her home country.  I think Lations and Japanese share some of the same values, like importance of family, so it might be easy to assimiliate in that regards.

In the super-mystical realm of Yahoo, JDism is a parody religion. Click on my dragon picture, click on my 360 link, scroll down to my groups, and click on the avatar with the body of an ape, and the head of a man (Darwin).\n\nJim is a spectre, he may be listening...

Really, it's the same as here.  All of the major western record labels have Japanese branches, and these labels promote their artists and get them airplay on the radio.

♡You already got a few answers but I'll add my two yen (two cents) too. Here are a few interesting(?) fact about Japanese culture and I hope this helps with your speech:♡\n*It seems that every culture has lucky numbers and unlucky numbers. In Japan, four and nine are considered as unlucky numbers because of their pronunciation. Four is pronounced "shi" which is the same pronunciation as death. Nine is pronounced "ku" which has the same pronunciation as agony or torture.\n\n*Seven appears to be a universally lucky or holy number. There are many terms that include the number seven: seven wonders of the world, seven deadly sins, seven virtues, the seven seas, seven days of the week, seven colors of the spectrum, the seven dwarfs, and so on. Buddhists believe in seven reincarnations. The Japanese celebrate the seventh day after a baby's birth, and mourn the seventh day and seventh week following a death.\n\n*Don't say "NO"\nThe Japanese try to avoid confrontations and direct questions that might create discomfort or a loss of face. The Japanese are not direct, open, or frank. Often they are criticized for being too vague, but their real intentions might be to respect and develop a relationship.\n\n*Presentation\nFor the Japanese, the form is often more important than the content. The way something is said is just as important as what is actually said. The manner in which the food is presented at the table is as important as the taste of the food. The gift wrapping and presentation of a gift can be more important than the gift itself.\n\n*Working overtime\nUnlike Western custom, workers do not leave promptly at closing time. They do not leave until their bosses have and frequently stay quite late every night. It is also embarrassing to be the first one to leave and you do not just sneak out the door. Much of the productive work is done after hours and workers have a chance to be less formal with each other.\n\n*House slippers \nHomes are quite private in Japan and you do not just "drop by" without an invitation. If you are just making an errand, do not expect to go right into the house, but stay at the door or in the entrance area called the "genkan". All shoes worn outside are taken off in the genkan and you are provided your own guest slippers to be worn inside the house. You do not wear these slippers in a tatami room and you remove them at the entrance to the tatami room, even if you have bare feet. Also, you do not wear these slippers in the room for the toilet. There are special slippers designated for use while in the toilet room. This is also a signal to someone else that the toilet is occupied.\n\n*Greetings\nIn a Japanese home, you should always ‘announce' when you are leaving the house or when you have returned. [I'm leaving (home) -iitekimasu / I'm home - tadaima]Appropriately, the people in the house wish you off or receive you into the home. As a courtesy, "good-night" and "good morning" salutations are always said.
