Will e-books spread in Japan?
Anyway, amazon Kindle finally support Japanese. So, now I can read Japanese books on kindle. Yay!
But I found one big problem.
That is
There is no kindle store for Japanese books. And that means, I cannot buy Japanese e-books and read it on kindle right now.
Well, I hope they will open new kindle store for Japanese books. And I want to know more about new kindle. If you have it, please tell me.
Thank you.

Top of Japanese pops
I like some Japanese pops. For example, Tokyo jihen, B'z, m-flo, southern all stars and so on...
Yesterday the leader of Southern All Stars, Keisuke Kuwata(桑田佳祐) unveiled that he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Fortunately, his cancer found early, so he would back soon. I'm concerning about his pathology, but it seems not so serious.
Anyway, I hope he will be back soon.
The photo on top is some CD and records of him and Southern All Stars.
Thank you.

Death penalty
But today I'm going to write about that Justice Minister hanged two death penalty inmate. Since the Yukio Hatoyama became Japan's prime minister on 16th September, 2009, Justice Minister Keiko Chiba had never permitted the execution of death penalty.
To decide execution is the duty of Justice Minister, so I don't think it's big problem.
BUT...
Justice Minister Keiko Chiba was the lawyer and member of the diet members for the abolition of the death penalty. But finally, she did it.
Also, she rejected by citizens in the election on 11th July. She made the decision after she rejected.
How do you think about this?

2766
The emergency number is different in countries, I think. For example, the emergency call number in the United States is 911, in Japan it's 119 (for medical and fire).
These days, needless call for emergency number is becoming social problem in Japan. For example, they call it like a taxi. I heard that more than 50% of emergency call were in less urgent situation. I don't think, it's good. I hope these needless call for emergency number would decrease.
BTW, it's really hot these days. Last week, the day which the highest temperature was more than 35 degrees (Celsius) continued 4 days. It's the record-equaling.
Because of these crazy weather, many people suffered heat exhaustion.
So, today's title.
2766 ambulances sent out in a day. It's the new record in one day, ever.
This is the number only in Tokyo. This is record made on 24th July, and the highest temperature on 24th July was 35.8 degrees (Celsius). 178 of 2766 were diagnosed heat exhaustion. Also most of them were suffered disease because of this crazy weather.
We should take care...
So, I drunk Perrier today... lol
Photo on top is the Perrier that I drunk at lunch.
Thank you.

A month with iPhone 4
So, a month passed since I started to use iPhone 4. Today, I'm gonna write my honest review of iPhone 4.
Before I start the review, I'm going to review my quick-review that I made on 24th June... lol
You can check the full article from here.
I wrote 6 points at that time. Display, Camera, Hardware design, Speed, Battery life and Bluetooth Keyboard.
I think, I don't have to say about display and speed this time, because iPhone 4's retina display is just beautiful and iPhone 4 works so quickly.
So, let's start with camera. I felt it looks a little brighter. Sometimes it's good because it's easy to take photos of fireworks at night. But sometimes it's not good. I think, it's tough when we take sunset photos. Maybe I should take more photos with iPhone 4. Also, I took some video and I felt it's good. Now I'm planning to upload some videos to flickr, and I will announce it when I upload them.
(the photo on top is what I want to write)
Second, hardware design.
Last time, I didn't know about "antenna-gate", so I didn't write about that at that time. But after I heard about that, I didn't drop call during I'm touching across the slit. I think, I'm in strong mobile signal area and I don't have to worry about it when I'm in such areas.
Third, battery life.
I didn't have to bring extra battery during this month, I felt so. In fact, I didn't use iWalk (small battery for iPhones) since I started to use iPhone 4. But I think, it's depend how you use it. So, you might need to bring it... lol
Fourth, Bluetooth Keyboard.
After I could use Bluetooth Keyboard with iPhone 4, I felt I don't have to bring laptop computer anymore... lol
I can write long sentence with it. So, I sometimes post some article for my blog from my iPhone.
Fifth, gyro sensor.
I felt, it's crazy. It work sooooo nice and cool! You should try it with some games, it will response you so quickly and correctly.
I think, these are all positive side of iPhone 4, but of course there are some negative side on it. I will write about them from now.
First, some bugs on software.
Sometimes, I meet some bugs. I felt it increased. I believe these bugs will be fixed soon.
Second, jack and connector.
I think, it's not problem of iPhone 4. It's problem of iPhone 4 bumper. Because of this bumper, some earphone jacks (not apple made) and dock connecter (not Apple's one) connect well...
Third, proximity sensor.
I felt, it's not working right. I hope it will be fixed soon.
That's all.
I'm planning to upload some photos and videos that I took with iPhone 4. Please check it when I upload them.
Thank you.
