Obon in Japan = Slow News Cycle
For those of you who don’t know, the middle of August is Obon season in Japan and traditionally the slowest news cycle for the year. Most folks plan their vacation – to beat the heat – around this time and your loyal WWJ team is looking forward to catching up on some outstanding projects behind the scenes. Meanwhile, here are a couple of interesting notes we missed recently from the Nikkei related to the continued growth trend of mobile manga and the iPhone launch results.
With any luck at all we’ll even find time to get our video online from last month DoCoMo presser introducing new President and CEO Yamada-san, of course all the material from iPhone mania and a rather interesting panel discussion to be held at the FCCJ.. stay tuned!
