Japanese snack uses a social game for promotion

I found the interesting social game example. This is Japanese snack "PRETZ".

PRETZ gives the social game for promotion "Odecoke PRETZ" in mixi.

"Odecoke PRETZ" is geolocation social game using the GPS function of the future phone.

The avatar of "OdecokePRETZ" is a package of PRETZ.

Users can gets virtual goods according to migration length. And we change an avatar using them.

However, though regrettable, this social game can be played only in a future phone and it's only Japanese support. The Japanese must appear abroad.

At Apple Store Ginza, Toyko last night...

Japanese Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band Seikima-II Held 3D Film Gig Tour

Japanese Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Band -and one of my favorite band- "Seikima-II(聖飢魔II)" Held 3D Film Gig Tour. I went to holding in Zepp Tokyo.









This to say nothing of their 3D film gig was the first time. To begin with, music artist's 3D film gig is still few in Japan. In this 3D film gig, it showed with gig of the last year as 3D Vision. It was about 4 hours at total time! It was very fantastic. However, my eyes were a little tired :)

















Furthermore, their clothes, musical instrument and panel were displayed in a floor. Cool!



In addition, the profit of this gig is contributed to a victim of 2011 Aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami as a contribution. The message board to victims was installed in the floor, too.

Cool customer correspondence of the IKEA Japan's Twitter account

IKEA Japan's official Twitter account "Anna" is very popular now in Japan.

@IKEA_jp_Anna




Anna is a character of the setting of working at the contact center of IKEA Japan. She does news dispatch and customer correspondence in Twitter.

However, Japanese Twitter users came to ask Anna a strange question.

It began in this Tweet.


"Does IKEA sell the human chair? I want the one that it doesn't cost the food expenses."


Then Anna did a faithful answer for the question.


"We do not sell the human chair. I'm sorry without being able to comply with your demand."

The faithful customer correspondence of Anna became the topic. And, the Japanese Twitter users began to do a strange question to Anna one after another.

"My friend said that IKEA is selling the military Stealth tank. Are there still these stock? I want them seven. "
Anna: Our large warehouse can hold seven tanks. However, unfortunately we do not sell them. I'm sorry without being able to comply with your demand.


"I have only few friends. Can I buy a friends in IKEA?"
Anna: Unfortunately we do not sell a friend. However, please talk again if I am enough.

"Does IKEA sell Udon? What is soup?"
Anna: Unfortunately there is not the udon in the restaurant for visitors. However, there is it in the company cafeteria. Yesterday's seasoning aimed at the summer heat cancellation and was a vinegar soy sauce.

"Does IKEA sell F-14TOMCAT? It retired, but was my favorite fighter."
Anna: I'm sorry. We do not sell it. In addition, we are Swedish companies. So, if we sell a fighter, it will be Saab."

The splendid customer correspondence of Anna still continues. A part of these exchanges is summarized in Japanese Twitter curation service "Togetter"(English name: Chirpstory) with a title "The things which IKEA does not sell"(Written in only Japanese).

These communications seem to joke very much. However, I think that it has consequentially raised the corporate value of IKEA.

Zombie fever!!!

I played iPhone game apps "Zombie Restaurant" after a long absence yesterday. Then the graphic of the game became very cool!








People are dead in a town!




Zombies eat the body!







Zombies act violently in a town when we do not feed zombies a dish at a restaurant. This is very cool update.
