Koichiro Takizawa loves his Nissan Presage, so he thought it would be cool to have a scale model on his dashboard. After looking everywhere, he couldn't find one. Then he went to the Web site of Tanomu Tsukuttekure ("Please Make It") and posted a message. After dozens of enthusiastic responses ("I was looking for it, too!"), last week his idea was promoted to the site's main page www.tanomi.com. ("Tanomikomu" means "ask earnestly.") For any idea that attracts enough tentative orders, Engine Inc., the Tokyo venture that runs the site, will find a manufacturer to fill them.
