Dehumanisation of one of the most human activities, helping others. Next we have birth robots and soon we can live and die without any human contact. At least as Japanese.

That is a common misunderstanding as recent studies have shown. The so called "trend" is for a certain kind of customers that need products that allow them to give an "eco-statement". For that to work the product must look different and must be more expensive than similar products.
The Toyota Prius for example was a complete failure in its first version and only after it became more expensive than comparable models and looked distinctive different it became a tool for elitist, snobbish people to make a statement.

Its a silly concept. The customer needs a new battery after 3 years (typical battery life of a 1.000 charges) and few customers live in a place with a power socket at the parking.
A petrol driven scooter is cheaper, faster, more reliable, carries two people and does not need a special parking with a power plug. Furthermore, modern scooter have front disk brakes. I can't see any on the above picture.

It is best not to copy the sales text of a company one to one, as sometimes there are indexes in the text.

I have a bit a problem with this "news" as it reads very much like paid advertisement:
"industry leader", "create powerful","true-to-life", "simply attaching", "innovative camcorder", "take [...] to a new level", "wide range of sophisticated features" ...
... are all words of an advert not of a serious and neutral news report.

I'm a 45-year-old African-American expat living and working in Tokyo. I've been the victim of police harassment for over 10 years. I'm continuously being stopped while riding my bike for ID checks [...] They don't just stop me; they also follow me around the neighborhood in patrol cars, and undercover cops follow me in unmarked cars.

--Enjoy your bike tours, just remember to bring your ID card; having no ID card with you is a class A felony here--

... but bring your ID card with you for the police checks; especially if you happen to be black.

What puzzles me is how quickly she must have written that book. Kan's term as PM is quite short and already her book is written, corrected and published ....

Nice picture, though it misses something uniquely Japanese. Seeing just the picture, she could be Chinese as well.

Is Coke still using product placement? now that modern brain science proved that it is a waste of money.
