Otokonoko Bokujo

Otokonoko Bokujo homeA mobile phone site Otokonoko Bokujo is giving rise to much controversy. It was started by Cyber Agent on 13 May and its name literally means "Boys' Farm". The service is aimed at supporting women who are looking for their future partner.

Recently a new word konkatsu, partner hunting, is getting popular. The company says they want to promote communication among women and to help them through the theme of konkatsu.

Otokonoko Bokujou is a coomunity site which women who signed up register their friends' photo and profile and introduce them. The registered men appear as horses, cows and sheeps in the virtual "farm".

Since it was launched, a lot of people posted comments on the company's blog.The For example,
"Is it ethically all right to express men as domesticated animals?"
"You're in lack of consideration. I think it vulgar."
Also some say it's not good because it lacks the protection of personal information.

In addition, the name "Farm" is inappropriate. So the company is thinking about the change of its name.




*postscriptum*
Otokonoko Bokujo was closed on 18 May because of the criticism.

Perserte told Phoron she didn't want to go home and she stayed at Phoron's, whike Corticarte stayed at Prinesca's. Phoron told Perserte "Prinesca is Prinesca. She didn't disappear anywhere." Next morning, Perserte told Phoron she was all right, but she ran away when she saw Prinesca. Prinesca chased after Perserte, but she stopped and started to cough because she was delicate.

Kodomo no Hi

Today, 5 May, is Children's Day in Japan.

Kodomo no Hi is originally a day to celebrate boys' growth in the past, but it was reborn as a day to think children's happiness and to thank their mothers.

We decorate outside of our houses with koinobori (carp-shaped streamers), wear helmets made with origami, and eat chimaki, which is similar to rice cakes.

We also take a bath in hot water with calami, a kind of iris. It is said to remove the evil from our bodies.

a little prayer

It is the golden wedding of Their Majesties today.

I don't know their young days (I did't exit at that time, of course), but I know they've been getting over a lot of difficulties. I watched a special programme on TV and I felt sympathy.

We don't have peace. We're not living in peace. There're still wars everywhere. Regrettably we have many troubles. We can't smile happily yet.

願わくば、皆に幸多からんことを。
Negawakuba mina ni sachi ookarankoto wo.
May everyone have much happiness.
