SINGAPORE - If you've noticed more Japanese apparel and merchandise in malls here, or spied more logos of famous Japanese game makers, you're not imagining things.
More Japanese companies are setting up shop here.
They include boutique JRunway, which opened last November at Plaza Singapura. The store is said to be the first Japanese multi-label boutique in South-east Asia, and is a joint venture between Japanese retailer Apparel Web and home-grown streetwear chain 77th Street.
