| Oct 24, 2019 at 22:03 | comment | added | goldbrick | @istrasci I tend to think of the use of the word in marketing as especially a metaphor for typhoons, making reference to the (purported) "stormy sensation" that has been caused by the product being marketed. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 22:01 | comment | added | goldbrick | @istrasci "上陸" is a popular marketing phrase, but so are "デビュー", "登場", and "発売", as you suspect. What sets "上陸" ('to land' 'to make landfall') apart from other options, and makes this word particularly appropriate in this case, is (quite simply) its intrinsic implication that whatever thing being talked about comes from overseas. This metaphorical usage is common enough for it to be included in the word's entry in デジタル大辞泉: "２ 外国の文物が渡来すること。" | |

| Oct 24, 2019 at 5:02 | comment | added | naruto | @istrasci I mean, 日本(初)上陸 is a very common marketing phrase. It's not something we come up with, but it's something we just know and use. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 15:50 | comment | added | istrasci | @naruto: "This"ってどっち？ 上陸 or my examples? | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 2:51 | comment | added | naruto | @istrasci This is a very common marketing phrase and I never wondered why. | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 14:45 | comment | added | istrasci | Can you explain why you use 上陸 instead of just something like 登場, 発売, or デビュー? I mean, I understand it, but I wouldn't have even thought of that word. | |
