39% up from what % of market? Hmmm.
I think this is because Japanese consumers are very concerned with quality, and Apple makes good products. This is unusual for American products because a lot of them are a waste of space (cars, clothes, manufactured goods in general) and poorly made (by Japanese standards). Japanese only buy them before there's a reasonable European or Asian substitute.
Apple, on the other hand, hasn't made shitty products since the MBA left.

Used to be that both Japanese and Koreans preferred their products with complex feature sets - Apple are notable for what they leave out - perhaps this signals a change of heart for Japanese consumers?
