#Blog9: SoftBank

 Hi, this is Ramu. I'm going to talk about SoftBank which is one of mobile phone companies in Japan. SoftBank newly competed in the mobile phone market in 2006. At first nobady looked forward to this new company because people were satisfied with any other companies, docomo and au. Now, however, SoftBank is likely to catch up with au's the number of contractors that is the second in the mobile phone industry in Japan. It is because SoftBank's commercial message is affecting people, SoftBank succeeded. The commercial message is a series that was revolutionary in CM then, and it is funny and unique story because the family who has played in the CM have a father who is dog, and his wife, daughter and son are human being but only the son is black. According to a search of level of good impression, the series of  CM gained first prize held any other companies' CM. Consumers have been intersted in SoftBank and been contractors increasingly.

This is the SoftBank's commercial message.

Blog#9:An advertising of Gree

Hi, this is Koei Tajima. I'm going to talk about Gree. This is a social media for a cell phone. However, a lot of people use it to play free mobile phone games and I also use it to play the games. Why do many people play the games than they use the other functions. I think the factor is an advertisement. Because Gree often puts advertisements for the games in weekly magazines, such as shounenjump and TV commercial. Specially, I often watch Gree TV commercial and I'm fed up with it each time. Now, the game called DORAKARE is broadcasted on Gree TV commercial. Also, Gree appends a rare supplement of the game to a magazine. It is said that the game has been played by five million people. I think these things are due to the effect of the advertising. This site is basically free. So if you are interested in it, you should check it.

Blog#8 Tokyo Sky Tree

 Hello! I'm Sosuke. I went to Tokyo Sky Tree during summer vacation with my friends. We didn't go there by car and train. We went there on feet because we wanted to do something nobody will do. We lived Omiya in Saitama. There is 30km from Omiya to Tokyo Sky Tree.By a schedule, it will take seven hours, but it actually took nine hours. We took a rest again and again on the way and drank water. Nine hours later since we started, we reached Tokyo Sky Tree at last. It was seven o'clock, so Tokyo Sky Tree was illuminated. It was very beautiful and amazing!

After arrving, we saw the sights of Tokyo Sky Tree and ate lunch. Then we went home by train. Though it took many hours, on the way home took only one and a half hour. We felt the power of civilization. We are going to walk to Kamakura next time during winter vacation!

#Blog 8: New York City

Hi, this is Ramu. Now I'm in Boston because of studying abroad. I went to New York City for trip on the weekend. So today, I'm going to talk about New York City. NYC has a population of more than 8,000,000 people that it is the biggest city in the United States. And also the city has the highest finance centers, business, culture, fashion and entertainment, which influence  them all over the world as the city is called; The big Apple, Gotham, Center of the Universe, The City That Never Sleep and Capital of the World. In 1624, NYC was built as an exchange place by Dutch, and it was called New Amsterdam. Surprisingly, the then Dutch Admiral, Peter Minuit bought Manhattan Island from Native American for marbles, knifes and stitches worth just 24 dollars. In 1664, England defeated Holland, and New Amsterdam changed to England's colony which was named New York by Duke of York. After the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, New York became a capital of the United States for the first time and an entrance of great immigration into the United States, so a variety of cultures were mixed then. Trade and shipping were main industries. Finance, communication and waterworks were rapidly developed by the industrial revolution in the late 1800's. These industries and cultures have brought New York City to be the biggest city all over the world. You should visit New York once if you possible. There are many entertainments and famous buildings as everybody knows that.

#Blog7: SAMURAI

Hi, this is Ramu. Today, I'm going to talk about SAMURAI which is  Japanese pop culture as you know.  SAMURAI were the military nobility of preindustrial Japan. They have a topknot and  strange costume with samurai swords that is the status symbol, and such an appearance is the proof of SAMURAI. They also have been known as Bushi who followed a set of rules called Bushido. Their fighting styles are mainly individual, and they call their name each other before fights, because there was a notion that they don't struggle with strange men. Then Samurai swords were the best arm in Japan, so they valued their own swords equally own life as Ieyasu Tokugawa said "One's sword is one". Therefore, surprisingly, they have a spirit of Harakiri that is to kill oneself and are willing to do that, if they violate their spirits. It is unbelievable, but it had been actually practiced then. These spiritual minds are prouds Japanese culture to other countries, and it had been supporting the morals in Japan where religions were hardly prevailed.
