Hitachi should have just fully embraced it and advertise it everywhere across their product lines to distinguish themselves from the competition.

Buying a backhoe or front end loader? Now introducing the Hitachi Backhoe with Magic Wand ~~massager~~ pleasure device! Turn your backhoe into a front hoe!

I kind of love that this company makes everything from nuclear reactors to tractors to the industry standard vibrator.

They made amazing boomboxes back in 80s. We have one still operational.

They don't make it anymore, they sold it off a couple years ago because of "optics".

We had some Hitachi trains here in Australia. "Riding a Hitachi with my friends," was a common weekend activity for me.

Oh and we sometimes catch the train too.
