Topic: Daiei (era)


  
  The History Daiei.
As youngest of the pre-war companies, Daiei emerged into the post-war era without a chain of theaters, and since it had been organized at a time when distribution was in the hands of a monopoly, there was no opportunity to line up contracted theaters.
Now definitely on top, Daiei set what shortly was to become a pattern, representing as it did the perfect compromise between the exoticism which the studio believed the West hungered for and the mediocrity which it was thought that Japan would happily consume.
Daiei was revived in the summer of 1974 under the presidency of newspaper publisher Yasuyoshi Tokuma.

 Japanese era name
Showa is the longest era as of 2003.
Historically however, prior to the Meiji Restoration, era names were changed on many different occasions such as celebration, major political incidents, natural disasters, and so on, but the emperors posthumous name never took the name of an era.
Incidently, on modern official papers, those who were born prior to the Meiji era did not write the era name in which they born, but wrote Edo period (though now no one born over 130 years ago in that time period is still alive now).

Daiei came to epitomize the industrial sclerosis that befell much of Japan in the 1990s, and has proved to be one of the most challenging restructuring efforts to date.
Daiei is trying to persuade banks that the involvement of lawyers and securities companies in its latest plan will meet creditors' requirements for greater transparency, one of the reasons the banks are seeking the involvement of the bailout agency.
Daiei’s stock had plunged from ¥500 in Q3 2001 to a mere ¥100 as the Nikkei 225 was hitting 7,600 at the height of investor concerns about financial fragility, deflation and Japan’s exposure to external shocks.

 Asia Times Online - The trusted news source for information on Japan
Daiei president Kunio Takagi is reportedly intent on visiting senior officials of the three creditor banks - UFJ Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp and Mizuho Corporate Bank - within a few days to seek their understanding concerning the plan.
In the rehabilitation plan Daiei presented to the banks on Friday, Daiei asked them to forgive debts worth 390 billion yen in order to reduce its interest-bearing loans, which exceeded 1 trillion yen as of the end of February, to 250 billion yen by the end of next February.
All this may appear to be a messy way to embark on a bank cleanup, let alone the launch of a new era of "mega-banks" in a country that has yet to sort out its current crop of squabbling financial institutions.

Should Daiei join the Aeon Group, there are more than a few retailers, Wal-Mart included, that might well decide to pack up and go home.
Not only would Daiei's remaining 200 large scale stores add to Aeon's current sales space which is more than double that of any rival, but many Daiei stores are particularly well located.
Daiei itself, meanwhile, is planning more investment in its remaining stores in advance of Aeon taking over day to day retail operations in the near future.

Daiei was likewise enjoying a Golden Age of it's own, following up the success of GAMERA with GAMERA vs BARUGON (WAR OF THE MONSTERS) as well as a unique trio of period fantasy films in which the title character was a giant statue called Dai Majin.
And like many films of its era, the Majin films had the luxury of solidly competent if unspectacular scripts, allowing the visual payoff to be saved for the last 10 minutes of the film.
Perhaps the only sfx that tend to belie their nature are the matte shots that suffer from blue haloing, a technical limitation of the era.

 Film Review: TESU NO TSUME
In lieu of old-school neko onna and Tokaido-road ghost stories came new-breed modern thrillers that featured glamorous and tawdry nightclub acts, men who challenged science and became monsters, all shot with touches of German expressionism filtered through American film noir.
Daiei’s forward-thinking formula was a low-budget concoction of crime, women’s kneecaps, and monster-on-the-loose mayhem.
All of which proves that there was more going on at Daiei in 1951 than Rashomon, which won accolades at the Venice Film Festival and the Academy Awards that same year.

 Foreign Companies Ride Yen to Bonanza : Imports Flood Japan
But the announcement last month by Daiei Inc., Japan's biggest retailer, caused a stir because by circumventing normal distribution channels, it can sell film made by Germany's Agfa at half the competition's price.
Daiei's strategy, mimicked by many other Japanese companies, illustrates how the high yen and bargain-hunting consumers are sparking an import boom into Japan.
The erosion of Japan's high retail prices, exacerbated by excess capacity in manufacturing and labor and the slump in stock and real estate prices from their bubble-era peaks, is feeding a deflationary spiral that is stripping the fat off corporate profits.

The revitalization plan currently under consideration by Daiei's three main lenders and the IRCJ would have Daiei make deep cuts to its apparel and household goods segments and specialize as a supermarket, making large-scale restructuring of personnel inevitable, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said.
Daiei, which reportedly has more than 1 trillion yen ($9.1 billion) worth of interest-bearing debts, has said it's opposed to seeking government help in favor of its own restructuring plan.
In deference to Daiei's wish to avoid becoming a unit of another retailer, the banks are prepared to accept a nonretail sponsor if the government-affiliated entity is involved, the report said.

ERA+ is great because it is adjusted to the level of competition of the league the pitcher pitched in, and to his home ballpark.
It is figured by dividing the league ERA (adjusted for pitchers ballpark) by the pitchers actual ERA.
Oswalt is the much better pitcher, but it is important to look at the inning totals of both pitchers in each year they have pitched.
