[@DavidCruickshank]

@@buffalove9634 " the ugly wars they’ve endured." how about all the ugly wars that they caused? or the many other other incredibly dark parts of japanese history?

"Cleanliness" modern KFC customers - "What?"

[@user-xp9pt1jq4c]

As a Japanese, it was a interesting movie.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

It should, you see how it happened. Your a better person for knowing everything. And sorry we Americans don't appreciate the Colonel statues outside the restaurant like Japan has.

[@benbowlin6571]

I didn't know Church's was in Japan! I think they bit the dust the same way that Dunkin' Donuts did in the Japanese market. These days, outlets in the MENA and Asian regions (and pretty much every outlet in the Eastern Hemisphere) are known as Texas Chicken.

[@ozgoldebronokia8210]

Actually besides in Canada, US, and Mexico, Church's is known as Texas.

[@elvyscruz]

I love Japan..

[@Ian16545]

Having been to Japan twice as a kid, KFC made my day (and Dad's too)-having a hand in keeping us well fortified while Mom was away at work.

[@jonecuntapay9561]

microsoft should take notes from kfc japanese tactic in order to tackle the region.

[@babygirl6789]

Wow it seems like Japan takes business very seriously over there......i wonder if the Japanese still run the KFC franchise exactly like they show in this video still in 2018

[@jonecuntapay9561]

yes. still owned by mitsubishi(those car maker guys) only in japan with 35% shares.

[@DisneyStudioNetwork]

@@jonecuntapay9561 Mitsubishi is more than a car company, they’re a bank, real estate, etc.
