JSK and japanese cubers

[amostay2004]

So I was just wondering, since I've read before that many Japanese top speedcubers were supposedly involved in developing the JSK...do any of the top speedcubers in Japan use a JSK as his/her main cube?

I don't think I've ever heard of any of them using..those that I know of are using Edisons, rubiks.com DIYs, type Cs, and Joys (OH)..

So what do you guys think?

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

What Japanese cubers use Type C's?

 

[amostay2004]

I remember there was this guy who still uses LBL and average sub-20 and he uses a type C..he's Japanese isn't he? Or did my memory serve me wrong?

Ive seen the vid of the sub 20 LBL.

Not sure what cube though.

 

[amostay2004]

I'm pretty sure it's a type C.

 

[JTW2007]

Yup. That was a type C.

Damn. I was wrong then. Cancel out type C from the list

I heard that Nakajima Yu uses a Rubik's DIY, but I've also heard that he uses the JSK. Then Hidetoshi Takeji said he made a custom Rubik's DIY - JSK Hybrid for him, calling it the "Nakajima Model." So in the end, I emailed Nakajima on Youtube in whatever Japanese I was able to muster. Didn't get a reply. Doesn't seem like I will. I might try to email him again some other time.

 

[amostay2004]

Oh okay..I might've heard of that before too..but in all of his videos he didn't mention anything about JSK..only rubiks.com DIY

Nakajima can read/write in english, e-mail him in english and you should get a response.

Either way, Koma does not use Type C anymore, he uses Rubik's DIY.

Jcuber: I don't think he is fully adept in English reading and writing...Toshi is better at it I believe, he responds in long comments, while Nakaji doesn't even do more than one sentence...or maybe he is great at reading and writing in English and he just doesn't like commenting too much

Yea I know, I was just trying to show sincerity. Yea I'll English him in a bit.

Why do all the Japanese people use Rubik's DIY instead of JSK. The JSK is probably more accessible and cheaper than the Rubik's DIY with shipping. There's also no cap problem...

Humans always want what they can't/is harder to have. Human nature.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Makes sense. I wonder if there is a nmae for that...other than human nature?

 

[Deleted member 2864]

I think greed is the appropriate word.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Something like that...but some people reach for higher things for good causes...

 

[pentrixter]

oh yeah... I totally forgot about human nature. That explains it.

 

[JTW2007]

Humans always want what they can't/is harder to have.

True.

Human nature.

Don't get me started on that. :rolleyes:

 

[amostay2004]

But is the JSK actually that available in Japan? We know it's sold in many other countries but honestly, we never hear Japanese talk about JSK (or at least I've never)..

c'mon, it's got Japanese in the name!
