Lotus Europe

This car is very popular only in Japan.

If you say “Lotus” in Europe then it is Elan, but if you say “Lotus” in Japan then the first thing that comes in mind is “Europe”

The reason is that the cartoonist / manga artist Mr. Ikezawa satoshi made a comic series from the year 1975 to 1979.

Hero who appears as wolf in circuit

The beloved car of Yuuya Fubuki is Lotus Europe.

The story is, Yuuya Fubuki is the hero who drives his beloved car Lotus Europe, starts as the street racer of lone wolf, and the competition with rivals unfolds in the public road and the circuit, and grows up to a professional racer.

A lot of famous sports cars all over the world like Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Nissan, Fairlady Z, Chevrolet Corvette, and Toyota 2000GT etc. appears as the rival in the cartoon series.

This become the spark of the sports car boom in Japan, the boys at that time were nor grown up as adults, and it is not an exaggeration that the majority of them are driving the sports car in Japan.
The long aspired car of those persons will be Lotus Europe. 

Moreover, some cars were faithfully reproduced as the car that appears in the carton.

I wish to write about the super car boom in Japan in the blog.

The people who were the child in those days are now holding the steering wheel of the sports car. The sports car of Japan has developed!

The adults who love the Lotus Europe of Japan keep chasing the sports cars for over 40 years, and they have an eye on the TOYOTA 86, that was developed for anyone to buy and any one to be happy, and is not only a visually appealing car but also the sports car that can be enjoyed for long time!

TOYOTA 86

It is possible to press the accelerator firmly even when driving the mountain path/pass.
How about selecting a sports car for yourself!

Honda F1 return declares continuous participation

Honda returns to the F1 series from the year 2015, and it seems that they have decided the policy of striving for a long span, without withdrawing or stopping like the three time F1 activities until now.

The in-charge of Honda declared today, “This time we will take time and settle down, and do not intend to leave and return from now on”.
That means that they will be participating the F1 for a long time.
The reason was explained as, “By leaving and returning the race, the approval cannot be obtained from F1 side even after staying long, and also cannot get the trust of the fans”.

They further stated, “We wish to see the day when the excellent Japanese drivers aim for the top of world”, and indicated that the concept continuous participation is linked to the prosperity of the motor sports of Japan.
Since the participation in F1 from the year 1964, Honda has repeatedly withdrawn and returned to F1, and from the year 2015 it will be the 4th such activity.

After listening to such an announcement, I just cannot wait for their F1 return of next year.

There is a rumor that Fernando Alonso would leave the Ferrari that is out of form now, and move to McLaren HONDA.
I feel that the machine that cannot win with Fernando Alonso, a Japanophile, will be not altogether displeasing…

Fernando Alonso

He loves the Japanese culture to the extent that had a Samurai tattoo in this neck.

At present, Jenson Button is the ace driver of McLaren

Jenson Button

His fiance is Japanese Jeshika Michibata.

Jenson Button and Jeshika Michibata

Both the drivers are Japanophiles, and there could be no better driver lineups than this!
I wish you play the HONDA sound to celebrate the return with the 2 drivers of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.

It may appear that there is no relation between the drivers plan and race results, but Ayrton Senna loves HONDA, and returned the moment with HONDA decided the F1 return.

Soichiro Honda and Ayrton Senna

There are no feelings because a F1 machine is a machine.
However, F1 is used by the person, and driven by the person.
I want to win this driver absolutely!
I want to win this machine the championship!
I think that such a reciprocal feelings will give the machine an invisible power.
I wish that the drivers who love Japan! and who love HONDA! to return and hold the steering wheel, with such a significance.

Airi Matsui

In the sexy CM audition of the 2013 marriage information magazine, she was selected among the 400 applicants, and become the 6th generation CM girl.

When the bridal figure CM was broadcast, the TV station was flooded with inquiry, and she became suddenly famous.

At that time, she was a 16-year-old high school student, and it had an impact of aspiring such a bride by every men in Japan.

Moreover, she was appointed as the official assistance manager of the nationwide high school soccer championships at the end of the year!

She looks lovely even in the high school student uniform.

The popularity was further improved!

No other women has made such an impact in a very short timing of CM.

I also like her very much~

She is CM proposed respectively by 30 men.
Airi will just appear for few moments in the stage, and she will carry away the hearts of the Japanese men in that moment.

YOSHIDA & CO.,LTD.

The “Yoshida bag” is the manufacturer who get a very high support from the businessperson.

The main brand of the Yoshida bag is “Porter”.

The “Porter” was launched in the year 1962, and this is the 52nd year.
What do you think would be the reason for such a long support in the fashion brand?

●They have perfected the art of manufacturing of “Made in Japan”
The Yoshida bag adheres to perfection of “Made in Japan”. That is not the average way of adhering.
They use the raw material supplied by various raw material manufacturers from various counties in the world, and then the all the process afterwards from the “Cutting” to the “Finishing” are done in Japan.
In the Apparel, the “Made in ____” is decided by where the final process is done.
There is some difference between the cloth and bag, and it is very rare for a popular brand to adhere the Japanese made thoroughly from the initial to the final manufacturing. Of course, there is a reason for not sticking to it. I think that it is “The wish to value the Japanese workmanship”.
Yoshida bag was established in the year 1935. (The company name was Yoshida Ltd.). It is a very long standing and established manufacturer celebrating its 80th anniversary in the next year.
The founder Mr.Kichizou Yoshida (Born on 1906, 94 years) was an excellent worker who can make a large size trunk with only two needles. A good worker knows how to do a good work.
It is said that Mr.Yoshida has spoken “Keep the Japanese worker with value” when he was alive.
The “Will” of the founder was inherited, and the company policy of Yoshida bag is “One needle intimacy”.
There were no domestic factories, the production was consigned to the carefully selected subcontract factory, and all the product of this company are handmade.
The bag manufacturing is progressed by the face-to-face contact between the in-house employee designer and the subcontract worker.

●High evaluation by “Firmness” and “Robust”
The bag made in Japan of this company is supported from lot of spots.
Especially for the “Firmness”, the support of the business person is very high.
The devices and the material used for work are carried, and if it is the shoulder bag, then the handle can break easily and lead to trouble.
Among the opinion said about this company, it is said, “It was broken in spite of being the Yoshida bag".
Any item is likely to break, but this is said as the proof to show the level of confidence. The Japanese worker gives such support.
This company is also dealing with the repair of this company product sold in the past, and the worker does this repair.

●It is “New” even if it is stubborn.
The bag is one of the fashion items.
No matter how strong it is, the support will reduce if it is clumsy.
The Yoshida bag is supported for the fashion character.
In the popular briefcase of the businessperson, a limited edition of camouflaging color was used in the cloth last year in the “Tanker” series of the Porter.
The Tanker promptly used the cloth of “MA-1” that was gaining popularity as the U.S. military flight jacket in 83, and became highly popular.

Adhering is very important even in the business environment, and the support of surroundings cannot be obtained just by the stubbornness. It is important to have flexibility to accept the one that is considered as “THIS”.
