The controversial position is that I believe that Labo's performance, thus far, in Japan can be considered "not good". That is, I have the gall to state that it's doing something other than good. Whatever word you choose to describe (I'm keen on using middling myself, but sub-par, mediocre, and other similar words also work) in that wide gaping area of vernacular that differentiates a "flop" from "good" is where I think Labo is. It's not a flop and it is not good. Somewhere in between. Somehow holding this position seems controversial.
