チュート徳井と夏川結衣が破局…「フライデー」報じる

2004年初めて関西に住んで、トミーズ雅とよく週末のTVに出てきた関東で見たことの無かったコメディアンコンビ。これがチュートリアルだった。面白いなっておもってみてた。
2007年から日本を離れた2010年ころからまた日本にもくるようになった。関東の全国放送でも見るようになってきた。今ではワイドショーでも騒がれるほどの存在になった。時代の流れを感じる。

IPads Change Economics, and Speed, of Hotel Wi-Fi

i phone 4 was out with Softbank and 4S is out with Softbank and KDDI. The more smartphone users are in Japan the more connection capacity is full. The following article predicts more WIFI service in the US will no longer be free of charge. Japan has not much free WIFI and should not follow the US.

Chinese And Russian Firms The 'Most Corrupt' 中国 賄賂/汚職

Living in China I see bribes are so prevalent. Whatever you do in business, you should come across this problem. I do not go into details but you need to pay to someone in such as these occasions, you need a license to carry out a business, you need to pay taxes(even in this case you first need to pay), you run your restaurant, you want to sell your products to your client etc. I have been long time opinionated that this wide spread bride is one of the strong drivers of the inflation in China.

If you experienced this problem, feel free to comment.　

中国では賄賂の問題はどこにでもあるインフレの要員であることは間違いないと思っています。詳しいことは書きませんが、これは中国にいれば必ずといって良いほど体験することです。皆さんの体験談お待ちします。

Roberto Cavalli

There was a coverage on this brand on one TV programme some weeks ago which looked just an innocent coverage in a comedy show. That was the coverage to promote this brand which was virtually unknown in Japan. What we see in the media are basically almost all connected to ads.
数週間前にバライティーショーで取り上げられたブランド、イタリアの町で人気ブランドを聞いて、その創業者に会いにいくというないようでした。そのブランドが今となって日本進出。あの番組も進出のための布石だったということ。普通の記事に見せかけるとか、ニュースの中で取り上げるとか隠された広告が多すぎる。

外資のCMがつまらなくなってきた理由

外資系企業のCMがだんだんつまらなくなってきた。これは海外で使っているものの使い回しが増えてきたからである。日本の経済が良いころは日本の市場を見据えて、日本独自のCMをつかってきた。今は、本国や中国でつかっているもの吹き替えをしただけの使いまわしがおおい。

ブランドイメージの統一とかいわれるがただの言い訳。要は日本市場に魅力を感じなくなって、CM制作費を抑えているだけ。
外資のウェブサイトにも同じことが言えます。

Japan Tobacco's first-half profit soars 17.9% JTの上半期利益17.9％アップ

It is obvious that cigarette is harmful to the health of a person who smokes it and who is with the smoker. After I lost my grand father due to the lung cancer my feeling against smoking got much stronger. He quit smoking long time ago but the harm was already done.

In China, known as a big market for the cigarette I see more people stopping smoking. The tobacco market will be smaller in the future and shall not grow big again. There will be fewer tobacco companies to enjoy the economy of the scale and also survive on the shrinking market. JT with its 50% ownership by the government has been protected but the government share could be smaller to finance the earthquake relief. JT will probably also buy more companies in the industry. Yen is strong so it may not be too far from now that it happens. JT sells beverages like Roots coffee( also as a former owner of the Burger King Japan) expanding its non-tobacco business.

I am hoping it will one day becomes a company free of the tobacco business. The marketing know-how in the company is fairly strong as it has been selling their products even the customers think it is "bad" to buy the products. Once it starts selling totally different products it can still grow utilising the long accumulated marketing know-how.

JTは早くタバコ事業から離れて別の事業をもっと大きくしていってほしい。健康に悪いものを長い間拡販してきたマーケティングノウハウは、別の製品をうっても生かせると思う。

来春、鳥取市内で無線ＬＡＮ整備へ Tottori city will have a public WIFI next April

Release the communication!
Like Singapore, China, all Japan needs the free WIFI. People come to Japan and complain why there is no WIFI anywhere in Tokyo. You basically need contracts with careers to use internet outside.
Once the information flow released, there will be more business ideas and creativity. 無料の公衆無線を日本全国に整備すべき。情報の流れを解き放て！人々が自由に無料で素早くコミュニケーションができれば、新たなビジネスもうまれる。

One of the few companies offering the free WIFI http://freespot.com/ in Japan.
