I find them to be mostly very well made, long-lasting and would rank Japan on the same level as many European countries across most metrics

    I actually like to buy specifically Japanese, especially audio gear :)

    • Technics for Turntables
    • Pioneer for DJ Players & Mixers
    • Yamaha for other Audio Gear and Instruments
    • Rakuten for streaming and buying movies / shows
    • Don’t own a car but if I had one it would be Japanese
    • Sony for TVs, Gaming Consoles
    • Nintendo: also gaming
    • Muji for home stuff
    • Uniqlo for clothing
    • also: kitchen knifes!

    Etc.

      Yamaha acoustics and electric guitars are VERY good.

      The majority of my audio gear is not American. Not for political reasons but because outside of guitars, amps, and effects, American music gear isn’t that amazing.

      • Native Instruments - Germany
      • Audio Technica - Japan
      • Yamaha - Japana
      • Ibanez - Japan
      • Synthstrom - New Zealand
      • Polyend - Poland
      • Focusrite - UK

      EDIT

      The best DAWs also tend to be European.

      • Renoise - Germany
      • Abelton - Germany
      • Bitwig - Germany

      Audio Technica is also good for audio / production gear
