They're so well known for home delivery that my Japanese textbook used Yamato Transport's proprietary term 宅急便 (takkyuubin) to describe home delivery, instead of the generic 宅配便 (takuhaibin), noting that this sort of genericized trademark use was common in Japan.[/i]

Sounds like how Americans use "Band-aid" as a catchall for adhesive bandages and Xerox for copying something.

That was oddly captivating. I think I was accidentally hypnotized for three minutes.
Or maybe I am just tired and need to get to bed |

So they don't just deliver merchandise right? Great, now I know what to use when I'm traveling around in Japan
Also, that video was pretty fun

Rather funny that the first outdoor location in that video is the trendy "Cat Street" shopping lane in Harajuku...
