Sad for anyone, especially at that age, to be struck down like that.

It's definitely a candid shot (also watch for the cropping - who's elbow is that on the right?), But I can't fathom the point of this. Perhaps there were no shots of idols or bikini beauties doled out by the press release corp this morning.
Oh, and to quote a famous film, "You'll shoot your eye out!!!"

From the picture, it doesn't look as portable as the previous versions. Must be all those extra applications I guess. Does it come with its own transport vehicle?

What's it with this whole wedding dress craze? Everyone's getting onboard it seems.
As for the 'another model' - I guess the company-issued press release didn't list her name, so...

After living in Japan over 10 years, new work and living conditions meant facing something I'd been putting off for that entire time - getting my licence swapped over, buying a car and driving in Japan. I guess I could have got buy without, but in short I had to accept that I would be greatly inconvenienced without a car. Although I noticed a huge number of traffic infringements as a pedestrian, bicycle rider and occasional car passenger, seeing the randomness of driving in Japan has amazed me. I've always thought in japan the 'personal bubble' a car gives you permits behavior that you would never think of when you're outside your car (e,g, pedestrians will wait patiently for lights to change at crossings, but drivers will flout the rules consistently), but some aspects are more polite in other countries (e.g. drivers stopping or allowing people to enter the flow of traffic on a busy road). However, I have found the speed limits are only a guideline for many people, and even traveling a mite over the speed limit, I've found people tailgating (when they can't pass) or people roaring past me going way over the speed limit. I like the comment about 'having warning light means you can park anywhere' - I now live with the farmer is king, and roads which clearly post 'no parking' signs are often filled with farmers' vehicles as they access their nearby fields. But as I have noted before, Japan wasn't 'designed' for cars - there's little parking space, or places to pull over so as not to inconvenience other drivers. In short, if I didn't have to own a car through necessity, I wouldn't have one. Nevertheless, I am enjoying my new area by touring around and seeing the sights. I have to be more alert in country areas here than I would be in my homeland, but a bit of extra alertness never hurt anyone when it comes to driving.
