Free Wireless Service on Japan Buses
by Sabar on Dec.10, 2009, under Japan

In Japan, starting from this 14 December, Chuo Highway buses will be starting a 2-month trial on providing free Internet services to bus riders after registering an account using their email address. This service is called “Wi2 300″
Only 26 buses will be put under this trial with only 2 route affected. The route is plan on such a way that there will be lots of businessman and businesswoman using this free service.

Would you love to have free wireless services installed onto buses and trains where we can also use them while on the move?
In Singapore, most of us will be able to use the internet services when we purchase data plan (come with limited usage) with smart phone or iPhone. However, other then the free services in big shopping malls, I think it will be nicer if there are also free internet services in trains and buses where most of us spend lots of time on.
K-On Azusa Nakano’s Cup now Reality
by Sabar on Dec.10, 2009, under Anime, Merchandise
Remember the cup that Azusa use in the K-On series while having discussion during club activities? Now, looks like the sample is out to present its beauty to us.
The manufacturer of this cup will be Broccoli and as manufactured, it will be the same as the one use in that series. It will also come with a base. However, the base is not just a pinked plate but with a small Azusa design in the middle part. The price of the cup will come at around 2500 yen.
However, comparing the one from the anime and the actual one, the difference is that the position of the head of the cat on the actual design is higher then the one from the series. For me, both will be find. Will you be all right with both or you prefer the one from the anime?
The actual release will only be on next year 20th of January. Hmm…….It will be nice if it is out around now as I believe most of us “K-On fans” will be happy to accept this as a present
Will you want it to be your Christmas present?

2009 Nissan Cube Commercial Video
by Sabar on Dec.10, 2009, under Japan
Japan’s commercial has never fail to interest me as all of them are full of ideas which I can never come across. Some of them will use animation to help creating the video instead of using models while some commercials will let us have the feeling that they are promoting this certain product but we will laugh at the end as it is another product that we can never think of during the commercial.
In this post, I will talk about this 30 second Nissan Cube commercial that I feel it is really creative.
If we obverse from the start, we can see that it is promoting a car. The interesting part is that after it go through a road, it turn into a bathtub and then it goes to space. What will you think this commercial implies?
For me, I think it is saying that it is very cooling plus light weight car ^^
Below is the 1 minute version but there isn’t any sound due to copyright issue.
