Hi, I'm Ayako Kawanaka.
Did you have a good winter vacation? I worked at Hie-shrine as "Miko". It was very valuable and pleasant experience for me.

                                                                                  (Asahi-sinbun)


Today, I want to talk about " The night rainbow". This is a rainbow produced by the light of the moon at night. It is so rare natural phenomenon. This time, the phenomenon was taken in Ishigaki-Jima, Okinawa.
"The night rainbow" is the phenomenon appears to be refracted by water droplets in the atmosphere of the moon light. It is so difficult to take a photograph because the moon light is week compared with the sun light.
It's so mysterious, isn't it? If you didn't know, you might be pass without look it. Sometimes, you should stop and look up the sky. If you will lucky, you might find interesting things.
I want to see "The night rainbow" someday. When I find it, somehow I might be feel likely  nice.

Blog#15: The Peace

Hello,I'm Emika. Surprisingly this is the last blog, so I will do my best! Then I want to introduce a new merchandise. I found it when I read a newspaper's economic page. The Yomiuri Sinbun reported it in January 12.

*"The Peace" will come out next month. "The Peace" is a new merchandise of JT(Japan Tobacco). It is a luxury tobacco. It cost 1000yen to buy a case. A case has 20 pieces of tobacco. Its fragrance seems to be taken seriously. It will be sold from February 1. Formely "Peace Infinity" was the most expensive tobacco. It cost 470 yen for a case. JT said " We reward consumer's needs. They need high quality tobacco irrespective of its price."

I have never smoked, but I was very surprised to read this article. How rich it is!

Hello. I'm Ayako Muto. How you spent a winter vacation?

JR East Japan will build Yamanote Line's new station  between Shinagawa Sta. and Tamachi Sta. Becouse Shinagawa sta. is 2.2 Km from Tamachi Sta. This distance is the most longer in the Yamanote Line's stations. Around the new station, will build a business buildings, so it is expected that economic activation. the construction of the new station will start next year. In a few years a new station will be completed. Please drop in by all means.

Blog#15:Price competition of Gyudon

 Hello, I'm Mio. Today, I try to introduce a news in which I get interested.
 January 9, Matsuya Foods informed that they increase the price of a medium-sized Gyumeshi(a bowl of rice topped with cooked beef and vegetables[Gyudon] of Matsuya) from 320yen to 280yen. The price is the same as the one of Sukiya(one of the Gyudon chain stores). Receive this offensive, they expect that Yosinoya Holdings will increase the price of Gyudon too.
 The president of Matsuya Foods said, "With the present economic conditions, most of customer think the price is the most important." He plan to target women, old people, family and so on.

 Sometimes I use these Gyudon chain stores. I think they are easy to use for many people because the price is very cheap. Especially, many students need to practice  economy, so they often use these stores. By this price reduction, I guess many people are glad. But these companys do price competition, if  the conpetition becomes intense, the management of each company will be affected.
 After this, I want to observe what each company does.
