Image comparing Toyota President Toichi Akihi with how much apology is being held at two interviews

President Toyota Akio of Toyota who apologized in the public place for the recall problem of the new Prius. I did an apology conference on February 5 and February 9, but this is an image of how President Akio Toyoda compares these two press conferences with how much apology they are facing.

When you compare it, you can see that the meaning of apology is getting stronger at the second interview.

Details are as follows.
What's In A Bow? - Toyota Recall - Jalopnik

This bowed the press conference held on February 5. The head is lowered at an angle of 40 degrees.


This is a bow of an apology apology held on February 9. Due to poor response at the February 5th interview, my head has fallen to 60 degrees more deeply.


With this difference in angle, the apology at the second interview is said to be "pass".


On the New York Post dated 10th, on the February 9 apology briefing, while saying that "it was sincerity more than the last weekend bow which was only 40 degrees""The angle of the bow needed for apology in Japan is 75 degrees", he says that it is "not yet enough".
