It's a good news! Their live performance has been very cool since their debut.
They sing some kinds of songs, a cappella, a ballade, a rock, a metal and so on. You should give it a try. One of my favorites is "紅"(kurenai).

It is cold in the cherry blossom season every year. "Oden nabe" is one of the best stuff for "Hanami" if you are allowed to use portable gas stove.
Unfortunately we missed "Hanami" party on Friday as a weather forecast predicted it rained and we postponed. It was the best days on April 2nd and 3rd in Kanto area.

I also thought that Bahrain Grand Prix was very boring.
They had had a technical group studying the aerodynamics, which could make F1 cars easily overtake other cars. The cars which had the concept debuted on Australia Grand Prix last season, but cars equipped with double diffusers ruined the concept. The diffuser has made harsh turbulence to the cars behind. That has made a car behind not easily overtake the car in front.
The diffusers is going to be banned next season. But the technical regulation has to be changed drastically for F1 to be much more exciting.

They seem to tend to show themselves more attractive than they are, which seems to be need to improve their firms and to get new customers. But they sometimes do something illegal, tell lies. Because they have to pay salaries for employees, high rents for their offices in Hills, have to continue to make sales up to avoid losing their credit from customers and banks, and of course (the following is most important) they wanna earn much money.
Japan is a capitalistic country though, Japan is also a country under the rules of law. They sometimes tend to forget rules.

I liked her as she was acting a girl with a disability on "1 liter of tears" program.
But she failed to say "Betsu ni" when being interviewed and lost place to be in entertainment industry. It was like a snow boarder "Kokubo" in Vancouver Olympics. I hope she learned the sense of respect, propriety, gratitude and so on.

Qualifying this season was more excited than last season, but Grand Prix less excited. There are no way to overtake during the race without any mistakes. If the engine of Vettel didn't break down, he would win the race.
One of the strategies I understood was the timing to change tires. Anything else? Nothing! I need some races to know whether regulations this season is good or not.

Some high-end models of TVs will be released with just 2 glasses. I was surprised that the "3-D active shutter glasses" will cost about 12,000 yen, according to the other web site. The shutter of glasses are synchronized with infrared rays the TVs transmit to make parallax so that they are expensive.

You won't be able to watch REAL 3-D programs unless REAL 3-D image programs are broadcast or suitable new Blue Ray medias are sold. Though the TVs seem to switch 2-D images to VIRTUAL 3-D images, I'm not sure it works properly in all programs. Even if it works well, I don't think this kind of 3-D TVs will be common. Because we are demanded to get several glasses for family and get them worn for long hours.
I won't buy it but I like such a technological improvement.

The day finally has come for the women figure skating in this Winter Olympics. Both Mao and Kim's performances were perfect! I'm happy about Mao succeeding in the triple axel. All fans were very worried about Mao's triple axel jump.
They strongly fascinated a huge audience with their own personalities, Mao's cheerfulness and Kim's coolness.
Mao looked very happy as she was always smiling due to the success of triple axel and as she jumped up and down on the rink at the last.
Kim looked cool on her face when she virtually shot a gun made from her hands at the last.
I hope both Mao and Kim not to make any mistakes in their free programs. I mean I wanna see their best performances and fair competition which judges give them.
But I wanna Mao to win the GOLD. Follow the predecessor - Shizuka Arakawa. Go for it! Mao!

Posted in: Do you support damages suits filed by former smokers who argue they have developed health problems, including lung cancer, because tobacco companies sold them cigarettes? See in context
I am heavily shocked at 83 people voting "YES" at this time.
I've never understood such people who smoke, who don't have their own responsibilities for their act, who don't learn about something before they buy, and at last who sue for the negligence of companies.
I think that smoking depends on a personal choice not a company choice.

I'm wondering that Toyota had no idea to announce Prius brake problem, and wanted to conceal and to fix it on free inspections which car dealers offered on first and sixth months of the first year customers bought.
Mass media will seek problems and abuse Toyota. This is the best chance for Toyota to change its company culture!

I checked it out on their website.
It specializes in presentations not daily use. It has each up, down, left and right scroll buttons and center button. If specific software is installed the mouse is used as a laser pointer.
It will be useful just for making presentations. I don't buy it personally.

There are harsh realities in Japan.
Constitution in Japan shows that All people shall have the right to maintain the minimum standards of wholesome and cultured living as long as they fulfill their duties of working and paying taxes.
I want Japanese government to keep taking care of people who are looking for jobs. Don't care about people who played pachinko, drank alcohol after getting 20,000 yen of compensation in Tokyo.
