Japan is among five operating areas for Seattle-based Amazon. Of the five -- the others are the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany -- Japan is the fastest-growing outside the United States, Diego Piancentini, senior vice president of worldwide retail and marketing for Amazon, said. "The penetration of e-commerce is growing faster in Japan than any other segment" of business, Piancentini said. "I see signals of e-commerce in Japan exploding."
