Why did she have to do the press conference in pajamas ?
IchyaParadise
I guess it was to represent that she did not have to leave home or something...

When I woke up this morning, this was under my pillow! Thanks au. I've always wanted one of these, whatever it is.

Mind you, this is infinitely easier on the eye than a dozen old farts and a couple of flowers at 1am.

Should sell well in North Korea.

What's that on her index finger. Looks as if she's been picking her nose.

those teens through 30s who are not yet familiar with PC's might want to spend some time before hand. I can't see how using a mobile phone or a tv add-on utility can be any easier then using MS or Mac.

Oh cool, so now I can do my bag shopping with just one press of the tv remote control. And to think I've been double clicking on the Internet Explorer icon all this time, and then rushing to brush my teeth and do my hair.

nice pajama!, but baby doll is the best to attract customers for an "au box" wich looks ordinary

At first, I thought she was a boy.

Pajamas? Are those cherries on the pajamas or apples?

You don't understand the pajama thing because you are not a "celebrity". " The service targets consumers in their teens through 30s, who are not familiar with PCs, " Well, then there is no point in putting this on a webpage. Mabe they should send the message of the new product to the targeted group by ttelegram, Morse code or smoke signs...
Youdontknow
That's the biggest load of piffle I've read today!!
And 315yen per month? Yeah right...that'll give ya about ten minutes if you're lucky and then as usual, KDDI will whack users with huge bills at the end of the month!

Man how many "celebrity" girls does Japan have? I'm starting to lose count, I don't know why they call these AV 'hostess' women stars!!!??

I grow weary of this Akina Minami, 19. Please put up a younger one.

she looks better when wearing a bikini in the shower and brushing her teeth.

Akina Minami is so beautiful I would love to take her out for dinner some day and treat her to a wonderful and romantic experience.
