Data di messa in onda: Set 05, 2012

+Style: BUILDING HOMES, ONE COFFEE AT A TIME Cafés have become very popular in Japan, but they are no longer just places for drinking and eating. In our "+Style" segment, we visit a new café in Tokyo that represents a whole new way of doing business. Like many people around the world, it is the dream of many Japanese families to have their own home. One Japanese housing company has come up with a pretty unique model for introducing its products to potential customers even before they have made the decision to build a house. Instead of trying to get people to visit its showroom, the company decided to create a place in the community that people were likely to visit. A stylish café full of new ideas adds vitality and stimulation to the city and its people. On Site: TOKYO CAMPING CAR SHOW 2012 For this "On Site" segment, our new member, Mai Ishikawa comes to report at the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2012, which features all kinds of domestic and foreign campers, from full-size American models to compact and lightweight Japanese ones. Schedule: July 7-8 Location: Tokyo Big Sight Although the initial cost can be a bit pricey, a camper allows you to travel where you want, when you want. Traveling by camper is a great way to see Japan. In addition, you'll also be sure to enjoy the rest areas along major highways or general roads.

Gadgets: The Future of Entertainment is "In Sight" We take a look at a head mount display - a new entertainment device and virtual reality display that doesn't take up space while giving you the experience of the big screen.
