A Happy New Year

A Happy New Year
There are only few days until the new year will come.
In this season some Japanese salesclerk will be very busy, I think. Because until 25 they have to adorn their stores with Xmas decorations and after that they have to adorn their stores with new year decorations.
I don't know exactly but many countries like the United States don't change Xmas decorations until the new year will come. But in Japan, we have "お正月(Oshogatsu)". And "お正月(Oshogatsu)" is one of the biggest events in Japan. It is our traditional events in Japan so, we can't ignore it. And many shop owners will decorate their shops for "お正月(Oshogatsu)".
I'll tell you one of "お正月(Oshogatsu)" decoration. I uploaded 2 photos in above on this article, one on left side is Xmas leaf. And one on right side is "門松(Kadomatsu)". Some shops and offices put it in front of their building or entrances. It is usually put it in pair (left side and right side), we can see it during "お正月(Oshogatsu)", I mean from December 20 to January 15.
But I wrote before, many shop owners decorated their shop for Xmas then, most of shop will put it after 25, December. And I saw that work yesterday. After their shop closed, they changed their Xmas decorations to new decorations. I think, it is very hard work and unusual.
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smiles!

Now, I can "touch"
Anyway, I found little changes in accessories.
First, iPod's connector changed. Left one is old one and right one is new one. Did you got the difference?
Left one has buttons in their sides but right one don't have button. And new one got smaller. In this case this change got worse, I think. Buttons on the sides was really useful for me so, I don't like new one. In fact, I'm using old one still. Sorry, Jobs.
There are another change in earphone. Left one is old one and right one is new one.
I think, there are no big changes. But they changed the design. New one looks better smart than old one and it's in good design.
I also checked the quality of sounds. But I couldn't found the difference in the quality of sounds. I think, quality of sounds in iPod is not so good and I don't care about official earphones. So, I'm using audio-technica's earphone "CK-32".
I updated the black one but I'm using white one. And I improved it by myself. Because it's too weak in deep sounds. My improvement was not large-scale, but I covered the small hole in the earphone. In this improvement, this earphone got strong in deep sounds and I like this earphone now.Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Crazy on K
- Maximum length: 3.4m
- Maximum width: 1.48m
- Maximum height: 2m
- Maximum displacement: 660cc
It's really small. And we can make out K-car from yellow based license plate. Of course, only in Japan...
Many Japanese buy K-cars because the tax is cheaper than other categories. And K-cars are very economical on gas. It is very important problem because the oil prices are really high these days.
Anyway, Japan Automobile Dealers Association announced that Suzuki's Wagon R got No.1 sales for 9 months straight. Suzuki's Wagon R is also K-car.
I'll tell you the sales ranking of every category in Japan.
- Wagon R (Suzuki)*
- Move (Daihatsu)*
- Corolla (Toyota)
- Vitz (Toyota)
- Fit (Honda)
- Mark X (Toyota)
- Voxy (Toyota)-
- Noua (Toyota)-
- Tant (Daihatsu)*
- Mira (Daihatsu)*
Minivan is also popular car in Japan. We can carry many baggage that is one of the good points of minivan. But I think, many minivan users don't use every seats when they drive their minivans. Mostly, they drive it with 1 or 2 passengers. I don't think that minivans are very economical on gas.
Few years before, the automakers in Japan released a lot of types of minivans. This strategy caused a flight from automobiles between young people. In fact, automobile sales in Japan is decreasing now.
They have to get the young people's attention into their cars.

I can't "touch"
On weekend, I was enjoying our school's festival.
On Sunday night, we have the show in the gym and I joined the quiz. I couldn't believe it but I won the game!! Then I got the iPod touch!!
I have iPod(Video) and I'm using everyday. Because I can carry a lot of songs with iPod. It's really useful and in nice design. I like it.
Anyway, I'm using PC but my PC is really old one. OS is Windows2000. Can you believe it?
And I can't use iPod touch if I'm using Windows2000. So, I can't touch. LOL
I have to update to XP or Vista. Or buy new Mac. I can't touch until then...><
I'm soooooooooooooooo sad... I got new iPod but I can't use it...
My friends don't use Windows2000. They are using XP, Vista or Mac. I wanna buy Mac. In fact, I'm going to buy a MacBook in February, 2008. Maybe...
If I turn on iPod touch, it show me the logo of iTunes. I think iPod touch want to say to me "Please connect to iTunes".
Yesterday, I tried to connect iPod touch to my PC. I think, if I connected iPod touch to my PC, it won't move. But I tried...
Of course, it didn't work on my PC.
I want to use my iPod touch~~~~~~~ LOL

It's happened on Monday.
Because my left sole hurt. I don't know why, but I couldn't walk as smooth as usually...
I wanted to know why my left sole hurt and why was it happened only at left sole? Then, on Thursday, I visited bonesetter.
I got why my left sole hurt. My backbone wasn't straight. So, load has been added to my left sole.
Bonesetter said, "your left leg was shorter than right one. That's why your left sole hurt."
Now, I'm feeling better. But I have to visit bonesetter sometimes. Because I wanna fix my backbone straight.
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
