What Hacker News says?
Hm. Are you familiar with Danny Choo[1]? I talked to him briefly about some work a while back; very nice, down to earth guy, and he's absolutely huge with Japanophiles. If you can either trade work or get him interested in your service, a little promotion from him would go a very, very long way.

HN discussionApparently the president of Canon Electronics (Hisashi Sakamaki) wrote this book: http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4396612486/mitsu-10... whose title translates to "A company will do well if you get rid of the chairs and computers" (Caveat: I don't read Japanese - I'd appreciate confirmation of that translation from someone.
