The weather finally turned to real spring.
The cherry blossoms in Oita has at last come
to their best. Today, entrance ceremonies
were held in many schools. April is a season
in which many new things are started here
in Japan. Our COARA also started a new trial
from today. |

Today is Wednesday. A new program titled
"COARA Internet Life" has started using a FM band. This is a kind
of a mixed media of FM radio band, Internet,
and a series of brochures published from
COARA office. The brochure is free and includes
a lot of useful information on the web life.
The program has started at 8:00 p.m. In front
of the chroma-key's blue screen, the casters
are ready to go: from left, Mr. Takemoto,
Mr. Fujino, and Miss Tomonari. |
 
Many people flocked in the gallery to celebrate
the first on-air of the new program. From
left: Miss Kusamoto, Miss Nyuu who visited
COARA for the first time. She is my friend's
daughter who returned to Japan just two weeks
ago after two years experience in a college
in Thai as a Japanese-language teacher.
Next left is Mrs. Fujii, Mr. Murakami, Mr.
Fujio (back), and me. There is a time table
of the program written in minute-second-unit
basis. The image by Real Player and consecutive
still-pictures of the studio are displayed
on the note PC.
