It's a Pollinosis season in Japan, a kind of nose disease caused by the Japanese cedars. It makes your nose itchy and sniff all the time (it hurts your nose), and happens around this time of spring. I begin to see people wearing the nose masks. So far, it hasn't happened to me yet, hopefully not.

Meanwhile, the X-Box game from Microsoft has been selling quite good in Japan ( not as high as expected but Microsoft said the target is completed). The first launching was on 22nd last month. Well, I am not a game craze but somehow I saw lots of its ad on television, and I was wondering how good the game is; I searched on the web and I found this : X-Box along with the Japanese site : X-Box(Jap).
