概要	The Big Four, in corporate English school history in Japan, set the standards for language communication as a commodity, as well as drove and dominated a market that annually generated billions in Japanese yen and reached hundreds of thousands in student-customers. The paper addresses the historical rise, decline, and resiliency of this industry, from the perspectives of management, marketing, and its underlying consumer psychology. The focus on the Big Four schools presents a brief history of how two of them survived, how two failed, and how the market for private English has changed, from its rocketing beginning during the Japanese bubble economy of the 1980s, through the changes and downturns that occurred up the present.
