More bloody gaijin

Further to my previous post about the Ichigo investment fund, it turns out that NHK, the Japanese public broadcasting company, has a drama on at the moment on Saturday evenings called Hagetaka (meaning Vulture),  which features a foreign investment fund (often known in Japan as a vulture fund) Horizon (half Japanese personnel with trendy glasses, half perfect Japanese speaking foreigners with scary suits and haircuts), squaring up to our hero, at Mitsuba Bank (presumably meant to be Mitsubishi Bank or rather what is now clumsily called the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ), for majority ownership of a Japanese company called Sunday Toys.  The President of Sunday Toys spends company money on designer handbags and shoes and makes the employees do her gardening.  Mitsuba is what is known under the Japanese financial system as the 'main bank' for Sunday Toys, and our hero is torn between wanting to defend Sunday Toys from evil greedy foreigners, for the sake of its noble employees, and loathing Mrs Sunday Toys.  Being NHK, there has to be an educational component, so the website gives a glossary for each episode - 'bulk sales', 'due diligence', 'buy out' etc.  At least it seems slightly more fair minded towards foreigners than this magazine front cover which says "Bad foreigners are devouring Japan!!"
