As a campaign of the new story of Gundam, Gundam UC, all of Gundam stories are broadcast online all over the world. That's wonderful but Japan is eliminated from the target.
It must certainly be a chance to get popularity of Gundam fans over the world. However I'm sad the business isn't looking at Japanese fans.
It is consoling that prices of the Blu-ray disc are almost the same among the world including Japan. (Japanese market prices of Blu-ray/DVD discs are usually ridiculously expensive!)

RESPECT THE VaN
I like Honda's CM. Here is an example. Do you know anything about Odyssey from this CM?
The next examples are of Insight.
They don't say anything about the spec of Insight, too. However we may be interested in Honda's cars...

Amazing Weather Forecast Show
American TV weather forecasts are not just information program but like TV shows. On my opinion, weather forecasters emphasize themselves more more than weather information. They walk back and forth on screen, swing their arms, and sometimes cover and hide important information. In below pictures the weather forecaster occupies 1/4 up to 1/3 of the screen for himself. I know it's a catchy way to attract audiences, however...you aren't annoyed?
I talked with my professor and his staff about the behavior, then he was interested in Japanese weather forecast programs. I explained to them that Japanese weather forecasters are gone out from the screen when they show the map. Then he said suddenly funny idea that they don't have to disappear because Japanese island is vertically and they can be on the sea. He must be right!

Closed Caption Already Available.
This information is not new, but... As you know youtube made the closed caption available in last August, the function has also been available at Hulu.com since a few months ago. Now, thanks to the function, I can enjoy The Sarah Connor Chronicles more than before.

Texty Beat, a Great TV Program - Jan 25th 2009 23:41
Today I watched a TV program named Texty Beat.
The TV program is enabling requesting musics with a message. The message seems to be displayed while the music video is being played.
I think it may be similar to NicoNico Douga. Though the reality of Texty Beat is less than NicoNico Douga, I think the program is great because it works on TV. I have thought for a several years that they would be exciting everyone if TV programs such like football game programs with audience realtime messages appear.

How Expensive DVDs in Japan Are!
I offen talked with my Japanese friend about how about learning English with DVDs. I think it sounds good, but I guess I cannot understand almost contents of DVDs in English.
So I tried to find a kind of DVDs which I don't gave up to watch. I think the followings are best:
Both are American tv shows which I watched in Japan eagerly when I was a child, and I will be able to remain the stories of the DVDs when I watched them.
I checked prices of the DVDs and I was very surprised at the difference of prices between US and Japan. Here are some examples:
Knight Rider - Season One: $16.49(US, 1185 minutes), $129[$1=110Yen](Japan, 1168 minutes)
Airwolf - Season 1: $25.99(US, 592 minutes), $91[$1=110Yen](Japan, 567 minutes)
So It is reasonable to buy them in US. But unfortunately the region code of DVDs differ between US and Japan. It means that I can't play them with Japanese DVD player or in Japan. Why aren't they the same?
And I think why they in Japan are expensive is that Japanese DVDs of American tv shows and movies have the translated Japanese dubbing and the superimpose. But is is worth to the difference that make the price several times of the original one?
By the way the region codes of Blu-ray discs in the both country are the same...

あるあると納豆
二日に一度の割合で仕事帰りに3パック88円の納豆を買って帰るのですが、今朝はその納豆が全て売切れでした。はっと思い出してみると、昨日の「あるある」では納豆の若返り効果が囁かれていました。
ヨーグルトの時も思ったのですが、日本人はちょっとメディアに流されすぎじゃないですかね。ま、流されるのは人の勝手なのだけど、3パック88円という低価格帯に流れてくることないのに。どうせなら効果のありそうな高いのを狙えばいいのに。
ところで、実は店のほうは非常に上手で、いつもは存在しない3パック98円の納豆がラインナップされていました。
結局それを買って帰ってきたものの、何か釈然としない。で納豆を50リボルブしながら考えたところ、きっと情報が事前にリークされていて、メディアとマーケットに扇動された大衆のために、なぜか自分が被害にあったような気がしていたのです。
明後日は残業しないで帰るぞ。目指せ、格安納豆ゲット！

sakusaku Ver1.0
以前に買ってあったDVDを＊やっと＊見切った。
テレビ神奈川でやってた番組で、神奈川内外のローカルネタについて他愛もない笑いを連発するトーク番組。木村カエラと増田ジゴロウの120%アドリブにハマる。
仕事でクタ２になって帰ってきてテレビをつけると時間の流れ方が全く違う世界がそこにはあり、これで笑って寝てた日々を思い出す。まぁ本来は朝の放送で夜は朝放送分の再放送なんだけど、その脱力感が高校生にウケるんでしょう(生徒は朝見て学校に行くらしい)。
番組はまだまだ続いているようだけど、いまは引越してしまってテレビ神奈川が見られないので残念。マイナーなDVDをゲットするのは時間がかかるようだし、ネット配信してくれないかなぁ。
