Named after a Japanese retail store known for its jingle titled "Miracle Shopping", this slang term refers to retail stores like Yodobashi Camera or Bic Camera using jingles to entice consumers, encouraging them to spend more money there. Please note that the "Don Quijote phenomenon", while uncommon in the West, is also commonly shown in Indonesia where retail stores like Giant, Indomaret, and Alfamart also have their own jingles.
