Marriage of different cultures = Source of unexpected success

November 4, 2008

Analysis of:A beautiful cultural blend: African kimono | search.japantimes.co.jp

Anyway, I was surprised at an attached URL news. And I read the comment of that African-Kimono deginer. I felt he is wise because he said one side of the common truth. He said "I do not want the end result to belong to Africa, nor should it belong to Japan. It is not a 'fusion,' " says Mouangue, who was born in Cameroon and grew up in Paris. "I want it to be something else. It should transcend the boundaries of both cultures. It is a third aesthetic."  Third aesthetic, it has depth of meaning. In other words, it is "Marriage of different cultures". I consider its example and background.

Beyond Silicon solar cell - Japanese chemical maker's strength and future

November 4, 2008

Analysis of:Japan's solar electronics industry kicks off after subsidies reintroduced | www.icis.com

Japanese domestic solar cell market has been sluggish since the subsidies were abolished in 2005. Japan's solar cell manufacturers have instead relied on rapidly increasing overseas demand, particularly in Germany, Italy and Spain, which have put in place incentives to promote solar cells and other renewable energy sources. Japanese market leaders such as Sharp and Kyosera now export more than 70% of their production. And, Most Japanese chemical companies are focusing on organic thin-film solar cells, which are seen as offering greater reliability and with fewer safety concerns. I reconfirm the strength of Japanese chemical makers on thin-film region and future.

November 4, 2008

Analysis of:Japan Faces Crematorium Shortage Amid Rapid Aging | abcnews.go.com

By chance, excessive and extreme hospitality in Japan might make the new market as phoenix.  The number of people dying annually in Japan rose to 1.1 million in 2007, with nearly all of them cremated in accordance with Buddhist practices, according to the Health and Welfare Ministry.Japan, however, faces significant barriers to expanding the number of crematoria: high land costs and cultural taboos against anything related to death — meaning few Japanese would welcome a crematorium going up next door.the Nippon Foundation, a nonprofit philanthropic group, has come up with a unique idea: building "floating crematoria" ships that could incinerate remains at sea, bypassing the "not-in-my-backyard" syndrome and saving on real estate. And then, I describe Shiseido. Why?  Because I feel they are like a phoenix in Japanese business market.

I describe the reason why and I propose the efficiency of "evolution type" Kei car and introduce Kei car manufacuturers.

And several dinosaurs changed birds.  I feel big semiconductor equipment vender looks like dinosaur and small and unique semiconductor equipment vender looks like reptiles that they survived the disaster.So I think who is able to change birds and who is survived reptiles.

In Japan, there are many inerest point. Shonai area is so.Now, there are convenient airport access and smooth road infrastructure.Also, there are many nice Spa and it has many great mysterious mummy.

Japanese "Otaku" eager for more high performance device

October 7, 2008

Analysis of:The name is Otaku, James Otaku | search.japantimes.co.jp

I describe population of deep Otaku and his equipment and my thought bellow "Commentary". Through those thinking, I think "Deep Otaku" can aid worldwide GDP glow up. Because he think only himself and he never tend to savigs like under 40 years old single Japanese ladies. he lives in moments. And, he is alive in the world of devotion to the material and 2D world. But, he wants the connection with others. He love Taro Aso of current Japan prime minister. Mr. Aso likes Manga and he said to deep Otaku in Akihabara. The only his phrase, He was set up as Otaku's patron saint."Hello, Otaku guys in Akihabara !". This is very suggestive. If The President of the United States for the next term amuses oneself to window shopping in Akihabara with Otaku, and his hobby is maniac, Otaku should be fight and become his supporters. Neither businessman nor the politician in the world must make light of Otaku.

The marine organism and pathogens such as shellfishes and plankton that mix with the ballast water because and it is drained in harbors all over the world and the surrounding ocean area move. The damage case such as closing the adverse effects such as breeding in the sea area in the moving destination to the inside and driving in native species to extermination on the marine environment and the getting water entrances such as power plants is reported though it is not possible to live in the majority of moving marine organisms by a different life environment (temperature of seawater and salinity concentration, etc.). It is guessed that 3,000-4,500 kind of marine organism is transported per day. It is presumed that about 60% of them depends on an international trade. And, it is presumed that about 40% of them depends on the inland trade.
