Design Festa! vol.31 photos

This is not an article of the virtual business. But will it be sometimes good? The staff of There(R.I.P) said that "nation of Japan itself is the virtual world" several years ago! :)


Design Festa! vol.31 was held in Tokyo Big Sight on May15&16.

The thing most impressive this time, there were a lot of foreigner exibitors (There were many Koreans and Chinese in particular.). They were not able to speak Japanese, but still explained a work hard. In addition, they made a Japanese caption, portfolio, business card and  fryer.

I was impressed by their vitality. And I reflected on whether oneself could act like them.

Most of Japanese creators can't speak English and aren't going to speak(to know that a foreigner comes for Design Festa!...).  Of course a caption, business card and the fryer are only Japanese.


Japanese creators lacks a global viewpoint.

The popular mobile social game of Mobage Town goes to Facebook

This week, biggest mobile portal site in Japan "Mobage Town" went to iPhone/iPod touch. The overseas version of Mobage Town says "MiniNation" (But, TechCrunch's article criticizes MiniNation's strange English...)


In addition, the popular social game "Kaito-royal(Bandit Nation)" of Mobage Town went to Facebook yesterday.It's the first thing that social game of Mobage Town is presented to Web.

Bandit Nation's basic contents are about the same as a Mobage Town ver. But you can enjoy more beautiful graphic because a screen grew big. And cool BGM was added.

Bandit Nation is a collect treasure game. Player becomes a thief and ollect treasure in the world while handling various missions.

TechCrunch wrote that Bandit Nation's English is strange. But, there were a lot of players except Japanese. And I didn't understand which English were strange :D
