When I was reading the news, I was hooked on two new products.
One is "Nude Sandal". You would know "nude bra" (I like this "let's make nude bra" post.) These sandals have no thongs, they attach to your feet bottoms. Wow, amazing. Hmm, I want to see them. I suppose while you are walking, hairs, dusts and sand will attach to the sandal too, then it will lose adhesion. Don't you think so? Hmm, I want to try once, I will update when I find them in the market.
The other one is this. Glico is the sweets maker that is well known for Pocky and Pretz. For many Japanese, talking of Glico brings to mind Caramel's bonus (the origin of Shokugan culture) or the "Glico Morinaga case." By the way, Glico has started a new service "Office Glico"; it means "stock sweets and ice cream at your office." They leave asmall box or small freezer atyour office. Workers can eat anyitem by dropping 100yen into the mouth of the frog. Once a week a Glico worker will come and restock new sweetsi n the box. Wow, what an analog! But you don't need to have the big space and electricity expense for a vendor, and is seems the box has a greater number of items than a vendor. In these days, I have avery fresh image for the service. Then Glico says this analogue system can makea profit.
Jontalent appears on the Internet (only stream). I wrote about GatchamanTakuya Kimura with und the ground people on FMV. Shingo Katori appears on Meiji chocolate. Maybe things will be changing.
Man, the Japanese think of everything! I want some of those nude sandals. I just need some okay shoes for walking to the pool with, not the pieces of plywood with painful plastic thongs attached that Old Navy cruelly passes off as sandals. I wonder if/when nude sandals will come to America...
