It is difficult to think how any brick and motor store can compete with online mega stores? But at the same tome, you see stores like COSTCO booming.

Both represents Japan.
Japanese Anime Heroes and Heroines
I do not know how many of you watch Japanese anime. I sometimes watch it on YouTube and I really enjoy it. However, in almost all Japanese anime, heroes and heroines are children. Often they are not even of high school age - I always wonder, why?
One thing I noticed that these characters have in common is that they are very naive and innocent. Yet they are usually put in a place where they are asked to fight the villains or save the world against their will. They endure some hardships, gain strength and then they awaken. That is when they will save the world.
People who like anime are often called “Otaku” in Japan. It is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, particularly in anime and manga. These are the people whom those types of anime are written for. Otaku people do not like the adult society and often wish to create and live in their own world. They do not really fit in to the work force.
They may be looking for an awakening like in anime. When you come to Japan, most of the people you see are no different from one another. Though behind the orderly society, there are a few who are misfits.
This is my 50th newsletter … my last newsletter lasted 10 years (1000 issues). I do not think I will go that far but I hope you have been enjoying the dialogue. I dedicate this issue to the people who perished in the fire at Kyoto Anime Studio.
The rail system was built in Japan before people living around the rail. Fits, rail companies put railways to connect city center to the remote area. Then they build the housing community around the rail. So they not only build the rail, they created the community around it.
It is not a very good idea to create a rail where there is already communities.
We3 have a new coffee machine at HQ. It is fancy coffee maker that we are testing. Because of that, everyone goes to HQ to get a cup of coffee. So nobody makes coffee any more at R&D building where I reside.
I have no coffee ... I am dinking tea.
I went to Akihabara to buy some tools.
So many people.
I had 9:00am meeting and I had to ride subway (Metro Rail) to get there. This picture wa taken 8:19am when I was waking toward the train platform.
So many people.

Back to the Basics
I am currently in Japan working and relaxing at the same time. I can do this because I have very capable people running the company in Seattle. I thank them a lot. I need to work even harder to make sure we can maintain sustainable growth.
While I was at my parent’s house, I was asked a simple question from my parent’s friend, “When I change my Internet Service Provider, what is going to happen to my email address that came with the ISP?”. This is a very good question that I have not thought about for a long time as I have never considered using my ISP’s email address. If I use a Comcast email address for my email, when I cancel my Comcast service the Comcast email account will be gone.
My answer was - do not use the ISP’s email address for your email account. You will have a hard time canceling your ISP. This is one of the reasons why ISP’s want you to use their email address.
If you do not want to spend money, use Gmail, it is a good choice for your personal email address. That being said, I do not recommend the use of Gmail for your business. If you need email for your business, you should go with a hosting service provider like us. In our case, domain and email hosting for you starts at $99. Which is a small investment to make for your business.
In my case, I have uchikura.net for my personal domain. My family is using it as well, as I gave an email account to each of them.
