The service is only for the transfer of money from individual customers (aged 18 and over) in Japan to receivers living overseas. It will not send money to companies. The service will not transfer money from overseas to Japan.
ok, so no use to me :)

3% is ok for very small payments... but 3% commission is way too high for larger payments, and as others pointed out, you will also get reamed on the exchange rate,
over 100,000 yen and you should stick to golloyds (I think we pay 3500yen when our company sends payments? maybe personal payments are still 2000yen?) the FX rate is WAY better than any bank in Japan, registration of new recipient accounts online is now fast, takes a few hours, and the transfer is next day in most cases.
==========
I'd be more interested to know if Seven Bank system can also RECEIVE western union transfers

every time I read this "mistakenly pressed the accelarator instead of the brake"
I think .. when will they design cars with an accelerator that's completely different to a break ?
(like a motorbike - was that so hard ?)
seems like someone dies every week because of this...

the price of the train tickets has not been reduced... therefore saving power = saving money, the cash difference should be given to Fukushima evacuees

this is the tip of the iceberg... with the real costs of nuke mounting up, this pittance of a compensation is not even cheap is it ?
only way forward for Japan ?
arguments please nuke lovers ?

That's one order I would not obey
