Americans are innovators. Actually a small number of Americans are innovators. Americans also tend to excel at new approaches to marketing. Both advertising and propaganda originated in the US. So did Tupperware parties, Multi-level marketing and franchised restaurants and other sorts of franchises.
The Japanese are best at taking a concept and perfecting it to the point of making its creation an art form.
Flower arranging, Paper folding (origami), calligraphy, bonsai and rock gardens are all examples of this. So are modern TV's, DVD and VCR players, Toyotas and Lexuses.
WE are better off having both the American and the Japanese types of creative spirit on the planet.

I totally agree,but us americans are losing our creative edge
ex. our forum has a creative writing section ,but it`s kicking my ass in coming up with something to write.
we are so starve for stories that our movies are using comic books.
don`t get me wrong,I`m a big time comicbook fan and totally completely love that it`s happening.
but It`s the truth creative imagination is down the drain right now.
and I see nothing helping us come up with something.
I can`t stand what passes for art nowadays also
don`t get me started on music
