Does Mark Zuckerberg buying a full-page ad on the New York Times and addressing the American nation sound ridiculous? Yes or no, something similar happened in Japan – just with Yoshikazu Tanaka instead of Zuckerberg, and Japanese newspapers like Yomiuri, Asahi or Nikkei instead of the NYT.
In the 4,000-character text, Tanaka talks about the early days of GREE, Silicon Valley, the Japanese economy, etc. It’s accessible on the web here, under a link that says GREE/Corporate/Vision.
