There are collusive ties in many industries. You only have to look at the almost identical pricing of products in the conbini chains, sushi chains, gyudon restaurants etc to see that there are either agreed upon prices, or promises not to undercut each other.
The vehicle manufactures also have meetings where certain information (including pricing) is ‘discussed’ so that there are no big surprises.

Parasites suck all the value in Japan upwards (inflating consumer costs way beyond what the ¥1,000 per hour convenience store wage would suggest), shamelessly aided and abetted by the judiciary, its suspended sentences, and its Mickey Mouse fines.
