Actually Ken, some people are dead! The suicide rate is going even higher. For many, the economy is not in bad shape, it is in a desperate condition. Yes, some people are floating above, especially the utmost corrupt politicians, but the number of bike collectors with big budgets surely is much reduced currently in Japan. Even the pachinko parlor parking lots are not always full these days. I know a few specific collectors who have basicly halted their purchasing.
