"FREE" 12000 YEN to ALL Registered Foreigners in Japan

How to Claim your 12,000 yen and Highway Holiday Discount
http://katz515.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-claim-your-12000-yen-and-highway.html
-----------------------------

From today's Mainichi Daily News and NHK 7pm News

ALL Registered Foreigners in Japan WILL be eligible to receive Teigaku-Kyufu-Kin（定額給付金） based on their status on Feb 1, 2009.

This is Japanese version of Economic Stimulus Rebate (in the US).

It sounds good to be true, but yes, the following people will receive 12,000 yen with no question as the part of Japanese government's economic stimulus plans.


The people who are eligible of receiving 12,000 yen are

1. All Japanese citizen who have registered address in Japan
2. All Permanent Residents who live in Japan
3. All Foreigners who hold valid Alien Registeration Card (外国人登録証)

So the people who are staying illegally or short-term are NOT eligible.

Also the following eligible people will receive additional 8,000 yen

1. The people who are 65 years old and older
   
2. The people who are 18 years and younger
   

The government is still debating how to distribute money. So they haven't made the decision how and when to distribute money yet. So I'll try to post the latest update once I find out. It's a usual slow Japanese government, but they are trying to move fast.

But this is what they decide.

----------
They will decide the eligibility
on Feb, 1, 2009
----------

1. The money will be sent to the address on the record on Feb 1, 2009
2. The person's age will be determined on Feb 1, 2009

For exmaple,

• If you are 64 years old on Feb, 1, 2009, you won't receive additional 8,000 yen
• If your birthday is Feb 1, 1990, you WILL NOT receive additional 8,000 yen
  
• The babies who will be born on Feb 1, 2009 WILL BE eligible for 20,000 yen
• The babies who will be born AFTER Feb 1, 2009 receive NO MONEY AT ALL.
  

So my understanding...

In order for the foreign aliens in Japan to receive 12,000 yen (or 20,000 yen)

1. You must have valid Alien Registration Card on Feb 1, 2009
2. The money will be sent to the address on the record on Feb 1, 2009
   

So if you don't really care about 12,000 yen, and then you don't really care..

Japanese Samurai Underwear "Kacchu Panstu"

TV Tokyo's Business News program E Morning (*)  had an interview of Shiro Nogi, the CEO of Rogin, Inc.

*Earlier post, I wrote "World Business Satellite" but I was wrong. I apologize for the mistake.

According to Mr. Nogi, he released this underwear for the men who are going to have some "fights" ahead, such as job interview or company presentation.... not really for the men who wants to get girls' heart.

The pricing of these underwear pants are ranging around 8,800 yen (approx US$80).

*Rogin, Inc. emailed me that they reduced the price to 8,800 yen

These underwear are made of medical bandage. So it will fit nice and smooth to your skin.

Each model has the armorial insignia (house symbol) of famous samurai families such as Tokugawa, Date, or Nobunaga families. 

The designer Yuri Otomo went to a several museums to research the characteristics of each family's armor design, and took them into the texture of each design.

This may be expensive for the daily uses. But if this is for the "fight" to win some company bids or sales calls, maybe it's worth it?

This is a scam?

These are some of emails that my clients received.

THESE ARE 100% SCAMS(Confirmed with other posts on 12/8/2008)

Scam / Spam emails from foreign registrars: YOUR DOMAIN NAME’S CURRENT SITUATION

They are kinda legit since they will register your domain name and trademark for you in China.

But I don't think they received the "application" and there is no laws that they have to ask for the approval to wait for the registration.

More likely, some user searched the domain name using their domain search engine, and the employee picked and choose those names and find out your company.

So this is kinda scam.... but I saw some of my clients' potential domains were already bought and became "for sale," so you actually have a risk that your domain name would be sold to somebody else....

So I think it's not really a 100% scam... I think.... what do you think?

But some of my clients could register  ".com.cn" and ".cn" domains by themselves using their own registrant.

If you are planning to expand your business to China and received these emails,  try to register your ".cn" domain by yourself using your own domain registrant. Most of the major US domain registrant services does offer the registration services for ".cn" domains ranging from US$25-35/year.

And if you are not able to register these .cn domain and .com.cn domains.... your desired domain name might have become one of those "for-sale" domains.

I actually had a courage to contact them for fun. Their pricing was about US$35-40 per year which is pretty much legit price as of winter 2008.

But when I searched on the web, I found that some people were asked to pay $160-200/year.

And if you ever contact them back, and those company may likely to purchase the domains right away, and you only have a choice to buy the domain from them... so be careful.

Well, let me know if you ever tried.

I think this is scam, but in a way, everybody does this anyway regardless you are Chinese or not....

So it's not 100% scam in a way... I think...

Here are the sample emails that my clients received.

Another Funny Sign in Japan - Nob Beauty Clinic

You know... Internet is very popular in Japan.

Almost all Japanese people are accessing to Internet via their cell phones over 10 years.

I went to Osaka earlier this month to attend Open Source Forum.

On the way to the forum, waiting for subway, I spotted this sign.

Pay close attention to their contact information.

I had to google about 10 minutes trying to find the actual web site of this clinic.

I'm not going to disclose the actual URL of this web site. Try finding one!

Airbag made for human

From TV Tokoy's World Business Satellite News, a Japanese safety and medical company developed a airbag for human.

(The images were taken from company's web site - 画像は会社ホームページより)

Safety Life Jacket "Itsumo (Always)" (product page in Japanese)
http://www.prop-g.co.jp/product_itsumo.html

The device was co-developed by Prop, Chiba University and Tokyo Metropolitan College of Industrial Technology, and sold by Prop, KK.

They designed this device for the elderly or the people who works on high places.

The device is equipped with acceleration sensor and angular velocity sensor which is similar to iPhone. If those sensor detects the fall, the it ignites the airbag on your back, and absorb the shock

Only the downside is... it doesn't look good. And it's expensive.

It costs 138,000 yen (approx. US$1300) to buy, and it'll cost 40,000 yen (approx US$380) to exchange the airbag if used.

Yeah, it's very expensive.... but good idea though.

The company plans to sell this device in the US market.

Wasabi Silent Fire Alarm developed by a Japanese Venture

BBC, Nikkei Business Daily and "Gaiya no Yoake" (TV Tokyo's Business TV Program) reported the invention of a wasabi fire alarm for deaf people.

This device is developed by Seems, Inc., a Japanese venture.

• Seems, Inc
  http://www.seems-inc.com/en/index.html
  

The CEO, Naoki Urushibata, began this scent business because of his older sister's unfortunate death of cancer.

He realized that his sister's body odor started changing as her disease progressed.

So he started his company, Seems, Inc., hoping that the technology could discover the cancer in the early stage by diagnosing the "cancer smell" of a patient.

Now, Seems, Inc. developed the new technology, a Wasabi Fire alarm.

The device blast out the strong smell of Wasabi to waken the deaf people in case of fire.

TV Tokyo's "Gaiya no yoake" (Sunrise of Gaia) broadcasted the interview of a deaf person who was refused to book a hotel. The hotel was afraid of failing to notify the deaf quickly in case of fire.

According to the one test, the deaf person was able to wake up within 20 seconds after the wasabi scent blasting out from the device.

Seems, Inc. is hoping to sell this devices to hotels, other commercial building and eventually to houses.

Japan Business Federation said "Japan needs immmigrants"

According to Mainichi Daily Newspaper, Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) suggested Japanese government to start easing up the barrier of permanent immigrant policy to prevent from the further population decrease (the decrease of workforce in Japan).

The Japan economy is suffering from the lack of workers due to the very low birth rate in Japan.

Lately, Japan started accepting Indonesian nurses. Also they have been doing "trainee" programs.

But these programs were limited to the temporary workers.

Now, the Japan's biggest business leaders are suggesting pernament immigrants.

http://mainichi.jp/select/biz/news/20081013k0000m020124000c.html



For your information, Nippon Keidanren is Japan's biggest business leader's organization which former leaders include Toyoyta, and Sony's former CEOs.



When I came back to Japan last year from LA. I was very surprised that Japan starts accepting more foreign workers.

I think the USA may be the most "closed" country in the world.

A Spanish tourist dived into Tokyo's Imperial Moat NAKED

According to a various news sources,  at around noon today, a Spanish tourist dived into Tokyo's Imperial Moat NAKED.

And then, he was arrested right before 1pm.

According to some sources, he and his friend(?) came to Koban (police box) because his friend lost his bag under the moat.

And, all of sudden, the guy stripped off his clothes and dived into the moat.

Surprised local police started chasing after him, called for backups (a lot) and arrested him.

I don't know if he was drunk or not... but I happened to watch the news coverage video from NTV.

Yeah, he was naked. But also the local police men looked like they were trying to catch a monkey.

They (Japanese police) definitely need to establish translation system. Like carrying a cell phone with a big speaker, so that the translator can persuade the suspect on the way to the scene.

What don't you understand about Japanese women (and men)?

Well, not a long ago, I was asked by one of my Japanese female friends that she was getting annoyed by foreigner who's being asking her out.

Even though she kept telling the guy that she had a boyfriend.

The guy kept insisting asking her out via phone, chat and emails.

She thought that it would be nice to be friend with him.

Anyway, I decided to conduct a series of surveys.

I'm currently asking Japanese women how they are saying "no" to foreigners.

But it's also interesting to ask the opposite side.

Have you ever had hard time asking a Japanese girl out (men also)?

Have you ever had a

Thing that you don't understand about Japanese women (and men)?

Anyway, please send me your comments by October 12th. And I'll post the result by Oct 19th along with the result of my other survey.

Japanese "Costume Play" invaded family photo industry

An Japanese photographer, Masashi Asada published this photo book called "Asada-ke" (Asada Family).

This photo book only has the family pictures of Asada Family.

This sounds boring, but what makes it very interesting is that he does "simulation" family photo.

For example, he made his family wore construction workers uniform, and took a picture at the construction site.

He even made his own family look like rubbery, and took a picture looked like a family is picking up the lock of a house.

This idea came from his assignment at photography school in Osaka in early 2000s.

Asada's mother works as a nurse at the local hospital.

When his father injured at home, his older broher fell down the staires when he tried to helped Father. And his sister fell from motorcycle on the way to the hospital.

So his entire family got injured in one day.

Asada wanted to re-create this incident and took as a "family" photo for his photography school assignment.

The photo turned out to be very funny and interesting. And eventually he published this photo book, "Asada-ke"


I think Japanese "Costume Play" invaded family photo industry.

Now Asada is looking for families to take this kind of family photo for free as a part of his next book.

----------

Asada is also from same region, Mie prefcture where I am from as well.

The original story was from a Japanese Fuji TV show "Tokudane" on Oct 6, 2008

James Tormé, John Atkins Explore Aspects of ‘The Male Vocalist’ at Clazzical Notes, Oct. 20

PRESS RELEASE For immediate publication or broadcast before Oct. 20 (Calendar listing follows main release)

Pasadena, CA – Singers James Tormé and John Atkins will present their unique perspectives on “The Male Vocalist” at the next Clazzical Notes performance, Monday, Oct. 20, 7-8:30 p.m. at Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium, 325 S. Michigan Ave., Pasadena, CA 91106. Bubba Jackson of K-JAZZ-FM, will be moderator.

Clazzical Notes, presented by The Orchestras of Pasadena, is a free, increasingly popular music series where the worlds of jazz and classical music come together.

John Atkins has experienced first-hand the versatility of the male voice during his opera career. In the last six years he has made the transition from roles for baritone singers to higher-register tenor roles. Recent efforts include the Male Chorus (Rape of Lucretia) by Britten, the Evangelist in Bach’s St. John Passion, Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus and Spoletta in Tosca. He is now exploring repertoire such as Wagner’s Siegmund and Parsifal, Richard Strauss’s Herod (Salome), the title role in Idomeneo, and Macduff in Verdi’s Macbeth.

He admits that it has been both interesting and “terrifying” to shift his career so dramatically.

“I found that the higher parts of baritone became to feel more comfortable,” Atkins explained. “When you change to tenor you have to change your mind set. It makes your brain work in a different way. It’s very interesting to have this whole new world later in my career. I’d recommend it to everyone.”

Storytelling is important to Atkins. “Now Wagner is something I’m looking at; it’s much more interesting to me now than when I was younger, and I ‘get’ the stories he was trying to tell.”

That storytelling will come into play when Atkins joins jazz singer James Tormé onstage Oct. 20.

“I certainly have always sung works by Cole Porter, Gershwin and other popular composers,” he said. “I try to not make it sound like an opera singer is singing, because jazz aficionados might find that ‘square.’ When I sing opera, it’s about communicating a story through musical notes. I still do that when I sing Porter or Gershwin, by determining what is the story they’re telling.”

Jazz vocalist James Tormé logged more hours on a plane as a child than most of us accumulate in a lifetime. He grew up commuting between the Los Angeles home of his father – three-time Grammy Award-winner Mel Tormé – and London, where his mother, celebrated British actress Janette Scott, lived. Both parents were strong musical influences on their son.

“My mom bought me Michael Jackson's album Off The Wall when I was 6, and I think it did me in permanently,” James recalls. “On top of that, my father would dub tapes for me of any new music he thought was worth getting into. He introduced me to Earth, Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, and Blood Sweat and Tears and, of course, all the jazz songs from the American Songbook. I honestly see myself as an evolution of him and those influences.”

The Clazzical Notes audience will see that evolution when Tormé takes the stage as the jazz counterpart to Atkins’ classical voice.

“I am a jazz singer at heart,” Tormé said, but revealed he’s “a massive fan of classical music. The stuff that frightens me is ‘jazzy-classical’ by composers like Frederic Delius, who created wonderful ahead-of-his-time classical works. His On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring was one of my father’s favorites that he always wanted orchestras to play, but they couldn’t because it’s a very difficult piece to play.” Yet James Tormé was able to have the New West Symphony play the piece when he performed with them recently, a concert that brought tears to his mother’s eyes.

Clazzical Notes will give Tormé another opportunity to discuss the elements of jazz, just as he did recently during a tour in Alaska, where he and his band conducted jazz workshops in middle and high schools.

“Any music can be jazz,” he told the students. “Lil’ Wayne can be jazz. It’s about knowing the melody backward and forward in order to embellish on an existing framework. It takes knowing that so you can achieve melodic and rhythmic spontaneity.”

And you can count on spontaneity and improvisation with Tormé and his band mates – drummer Tony Austin, bass player Ryan Cross, and pianist Brandon Coleman.

Clazzical Notes is the only concert date Tormé has booked while he is finishing his upcoming CD for Koch Records, set for release in 2009.

“It’s a really nice time for me to be doing this concert,” he said. “I’ll bring all that energy from the stage back into the studio.”

Clazzical Notes is sponsored in part by Caltech, The Green Foundation, the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, the estate of Richard C. Biedebach, and K-JAZZ 88.1 FM. For more information about Clazzical Notes, call (626) 793-7172, ext. 21, or visit www.theorchestras.org.

"Asian Stories" Fact Sheet
========================================

"Asian Stories" is an amazing feature length film that tells a story unlike any other. Jim is a young closefisted Chinese American living in LA who desperately finds himself with a stack of white flower themed disposable cameras, fleur-de-lis invitations, a number of champagne bottles, and a ten-thousand dollar engagement ring bill. The only thing missing is a bride. In financial debt and miserable for having his fiancé leave two weeks prior to Valentine's day, Jim tries to resurface his dignity and wash away his wretchedness by asking his best friend, a Japanese hitman whose passion for cooking fancy entrees extends far beyond his kitchen, to kill him just in time to miss the Hallmark holiday. With less than four days to live, Jim, while wearing his wedding tuxedo the entire time, treks to the mountains to find his fate, meet a pizza delivery boy with lucky charms, the funeral spot of his choice, and a girl.

----------

"Asian Stories" won the Audience Award at the VC Film Festival/Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and has screened to sold-out audiences at other festivals in San Diego, Hawaii and Chicago.

Quotes

You can see "it" if you are interested.

There is value if somebody wants it

New idea don't need ordinary people

First, determine where you are going to give up

Meeting is only to make a decision, not presentation

Clean = pride of your employee

Organization corrupts from the top

Look at it from three years in the future.

Find the truth from the facts

WALL-E

I think this is the BEST animation movie I've ever seen.

Recording DVD commentary track with James, Kathy and Ron

We are getting ready for the DVD release.

Today, we recorded DVD commentary track with James Kyson Lee, Kathy Uyen and the director Ron Oda at Creative Routes Studio in Burbank.

We talked about our nostalgic yet funny stories.

You can listen to our talk in our DVD special track!

Photo of America The Beautiful - California Philharmonic Concert

Thank you very much for those of who came to the concert




We had over 5,000 attendees!!!

People who can sleep well....

People who can sleep well have a lot of guts

If you can sleep wherever it is, such as friend's couch, on the floor, editing studio's floor, in the jungle... in the airplace... more likely to perform well in the presentation and stuff.... at least, don't get nervous as much as people who cannot sleep well...

That's what I think....

Dear Joseph N. Feinstein

Joseph, it was good working with you...

Articles for Entertainment Today by Joseph

From LA Times Article

Joseph N. Feinstein, 74; innovative L.A. teacher and host of 'Teen Talk'



By Jocelyn Y. Stewart, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
June 2, 2008

Joseph N. Feinstein was a champion of the idea that education should address young people's hearts as well as their intellect.

He developed the first class in Los Angeles city schools designed to help students deal with death and other forms of loss. In the 1980s, Feinstein was host of an award-winning television talk show that allowed teenagers to tackle tough social and family issues.

Decades later, the harvest of his idea stood before him. One of Feinstein's former students, now a social worker specializing in geriatrics, tended to him in a skilled nursing facility.

"His class had such an impact on me," Jill Spector said. "When I look back on it, it's one of the main reasons I went into social work."

Feinstein, who taught at Grant High School in Van Nuys for more than 30 years and was a talk-show host for nine, died of heart failure May 24 at Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center. He was 74.

Beyond the generations he taught at Grant, Feinstein reached many more students and their parents over the airwaves. During its height, "Teen Talk" aired Saturday mornings on Channel 9 and featured youth talking about issues that included divorce, turning 13, drugs, class clowns, AIDS and incest.

With his training as a child counselor, years of teaching experience and natural affinity for the age group many parents dread most, Feinstein was the perfect host.

"He would look at you and listen to you and get what you were saying," Spector said. "So you wanted to talk to him, you wanted to spill your guts, because you knew you had somebody who was going to genuinely listen."

Authenticity mattered to Feinstein, who also co-produced the show, selected the topics and often found young people willing to talk on air. "Teen Talk" promised the straight talk teens appreciate: "No baloney, no hiding, no copping out," he said in a 1986 Times article.

Feinstein taped 237 editions of the show, which ran from 1981 until 1990 and received four local Emmy Awards for children's programming. Feinstein also won a local Emmy as co-producer of a documentary on incest.

"Hybrid Identity Crisis" -- "Tre" DVD Release (From Eric)

A journalist named Ben Hamamoto is writing a piece about my latest film "Tre" being a first with its hapa romantic leads (Kim and Daniel), and hapa writers/director (Kim and me). This clip from the DVD bonus features is the best I have ever done explaining how mixed-race identity folds into the layers of meaning in this film and in others like "Charlotte Sometimes" and "Americanese" that deal with sex, race, and relationships. It was actually said in response to a post-screening question about the "raw" sex scenes in "Tre." I talked about "hybrid identity" and then worked my way back to answering the question.



This is one of seven chapters in the Director Q&A bonus feature on the recently released DVD, available here.

Other bonus features include a behind-the-scenes documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Reuben Aaronson, and my student film, "Kenji's Faith."

Also this is another clip from the Director Q&A feature on the DVD:

And here is the theatrical trailer.

TRE

written by Kimberly-Rose Wolter & Eric Byler
Daniel Cariaga, Kimberly-Rose Wolter, Erik McDowel, and Alix Koromzay.

Sound of Hamster

I'm adding sound of hamster to a hamster feature film...

Some scene was shot without sound, so I'm adding the sound of a hamster.

Oh, man. The more hamster sound I add, the more cute the hamster becomes.

I understand why the director loves hamster and decided to make it into a movie.

Oh, shit, I wish I have more room and time to have a hamster....


By the way, the hamster doesn't really make noise. Most of the time, they are quiet. But we managed to make it sound something... you will check it out in the movie.

Etienne!

"Tre" Check Out The Brand-New 35mm Print Tomorrow night in SF!

Here is another message from the director of "Tre", Eric Byler

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear friends,

I heard from Cinema Libre Studio and the 35 mm print is on it's way to San Francisco for its WORLD PREMIERE tomorrow! Long story short: technical difficulties forced them to release the film on digital in Los Angeles and Chicago -- which means San Francisco will be the FIRST CITY in the world to see the film as it was intended to be seen, on 35 mm film. In fact, I'll be seeing it for the first time myself on Friday night, because I'll be doing interviews all day prior to the 7:20 screening. So come Friday and sweat it out with me. I'm hoping it looks good. Hope to see you at that one or one of the others listed below.
