    > gas powered regular clothes dryer

Woah, that is rare. What brand? I have seen gas-powered clothes dryers at laundromats, but never inside a home in Japan.

They're almost always Rinnai, specifically 乾太くん (kanta-kun).

In my experience of living and travelling in East and Southeast Asia, it seems like Rinnai frequently has a close relationship with the monopoly/dominant natual gas utlity. This makes sense to me.
