The great open minded Boss of Rakuten is crying for years on the shoulders of his friends to help him stop the big bad amazon. Rakuten doen’t stand a chanse if they compete on even terms with amazon. Old fashioned, messy, over complicated website from Rakuten, against transparent and simple amazon. No chanse so lets call in a little help from some friends

Perhaps corporate Amazon doesn't understand proper gifting in Japan for all the different entities.

Good point. Rakuten regularly trick unknowing shoppers out of points by whatever method they can think of. They won't even return them in some cases when they mess up your order. I find Amazon to be much more transparent with their practices. They have very strict rules for sellers but that leads to a good product for shoppers.

Amazon abusing it's position to strong arm small retailers. Not for the first time. Do Amazon pay proper tax in Japan? They don't elsewhere, maybe that should be investigated too.
