They went into a sweets at last!

It is proof of being a popular character to become the sweets. Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Pokemon etc... It is the best technique to appeal to children. Many popular characters got the further popularity by becoming the sweets.

Nameko Canty has apple flavor, strawberry flavor, orange flavor and Nameko flavor.

What! Nameko flavor!? "Nameko" is kind of the Japanese mushroom. (via Wikipedia)

Does the candy of the mushroom flavor taste what kind of? I ate it. It was surely sweet. However, it was salty, and there was it at the same time. It was mysterious taste. However, I understood to see raw materials indication. It was written in this way there.

Raw materials: Soy sauce

Genuine melon vs. 3D-print melon

Interesting TV program was broadcasted the other day in Japan. It is confrontation with a melon farmer and 3D print technology.

 Japanese 3D data and 3D print company i-Jet made very precise 3D-print melon from a genuine melon.

TV program mixed this with genuine melons. Melon farmer must distinguish genuine melons from 3D-print melon. He loses if he chooses the 3D-print melon.

3D-print melon looked same as a genuine melons. However, farmer chose only genuine melons wonderfully. The way of the "real" is hard :)

Angry Birds goods spread among Japan steadily

Unfortunately Angry Birds is not yet popular like other countries in Japan. However, they penetrate steadily. In the goods in particular.

Ohayo Milk(オハヨー乳業), a one of the Japanese representative ice cream makers sells "Angry Birds Tamago Ice" from this month. Tamago means an egg in Japanese. This is always existing traditional ice cream in Japan for dozens of years. This is basic ice cream and cooperation with the eggs of birds.

Furthermore, Angry Birds flies in the game arcades in the end of this month. They become the prizes of Claw crane. Prizes are big stuffed toy, mascot and porche. The mascots seem to be usable as Christmas ornament :)

These are not overseas imported products. Japanese makers produced all these. In other words these are available only in Japan. Their design is arranged a little for Japanese. The birds are not angry so much, and the pigs do not seem to be cunning. The character of the expression of the anger is not accepted in Japan. However, most of characters who are popular in Japan are round form. Therefore they will fight hard.

Let's make virtual goods as physical goods!

I make Jack-O'-Lantern.

However, this is not an original design. An original is this.

I made Jack-O'-Lantern of the Japanese popular virtual world Ameba Pigg using the pumpkin grown by me.

How to making is here

If virtual goods become the physical, do not you think that it is interesting?

Camera apps for iOS of photographer Mika Ninagawa "cameran" is fabulous!

"cameran" is camera apps for iOS becoming the topic most in Japan now. Photographer & movie director Mika Ninagawa supervised this. She is known for richly colored works, and we can easily imitate her works using this apps.

This is photo of near my house. It's cloudy sky.

Let's put various filters on it. How to use is about the same with Instagram.

However, the kinds of filters are totally different! Anyway, they are vivid and richly colored!

Furthermore, we can regulate the luminosity, chroma and contrast. This has higher flexibility than other cameras apps.

Oh! Cloudy sky became vivid!

This is the pumpkin which I cultivate.

Farm products became gorgeous!

Furthermore, this has movement function of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

My recommendation is an interlocking movement with Instagram. We can use both of filters of cameran and Instagram if we use this.

We may make a more individual photos.

The scenery of the ordinary country became cool!

In addition, there is the wall papers for the people who wants to enjoy original works of Mika Ninagawa. Of course they are very splendid, too.
