Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers?

Living here I figured I would be in audio heaven but it seems like Japan falls in love with certain brands and ignores others. Since I need to buy something here 100V I’m wondering if any of you have an idea of underrated/overlooked value products currently in production. I know this sounds like a lame question and that I should do research but my Japanese still sucks and I thought there might be a few of you who are familiar with what is available here now. I have looked at vintage Luxman and there are a lot available but I thought a current production amp would be more practical and utilized modern technology Ie streaming etc.

If you're eventually looking to bring it back to the US, then Accuphase is the way to go.

If not, then all of the Japanese brands mentioned.  Also, other brands like Marantz and Denon make models that don't make it to Europe or the US, and they tend to be the higher-end models.
