Japan is an interesting place to launch new ideas and build dreams. I knew a guy who was a musician and his band couldn't sell their album in the States. So, they sold the album in Japan and it sold very well. He still gets the residual checks. Actor David Hasselhoff sold an album in Germany and he did well with that. I've even read about an author who sold her first book and made her first million in the European markets. The thing is that if one cannot find a way in this country, one has to give up their comfort zone in this regard. Jimi Hendrix left Little Richard's band and moved to England to pursue his dreams of stardom. He came to London with his guitar and very little money. Now, he is among one of rock & roll's greatest. Dr. Gerald Bull, a Canadian scientist and inventor, wanted to invent a gun to rival a gun he previously invented. Everyone turned him down except for Iraq. The Iraqis gave him the money and facilities to build part of the gun and it worked. If it was completed, it would have given the Iraqis total domination(the gun was built on a revolving pivot and it could fire shells, missiles and other weapons from all directions). Bull was murdered in Paris, France and the Israeli Mossad claimed responsibility. Film maker Stanley Kubrick moved to England so that he can enjoy some freedom in making films. It is all possible as long as one is ready, able and willing to leave their comfort zone.
