EC Network, a Japanese leading ADR/ODR provider, reported that "you may be not able to purchase some medicines on EC site and if you disagree with it, you should join signature-collecting campaign by Rakuten(large shopping mall) who is a member of EC Network.", in their official blog.

The amendment of "Act on Specified Commercial Transactions" law in Japan.

On Nov. 11th, the explanatory meeting for the amendment of "Act on Specified Commercial Transactions law" was held in lecture hall of the joint government building, Saitama city. The meeting was coordinated by EC Network, entrusted by Ministry of Economy.

163 Attendants including Mail-order businesses, Multilevel marketing businesses and financials, manufacturers, Broadcastings, transporters and so on, joined together.

Especially, "the specified email law" will make an impact on several internet businesses, since those email marketing businesses need to be approved to send emails to their prospective consumers with opt-in methods. Also they have to keep each approved record for evidence.

This big change of law purposes to suppress spam mails and related crime, to make e-commerce more safe, will expect to encourage e-commerce market with joining people who did not order from internet merchants.

Citizen judge Bra?

http://gigazine.net/index.php?/news/comments/20081105_triumphjapan_unique/

Frankly, I am wondering whether I should introduce or not here.

To encourage intentions to The Japanese citizen judge system, The TRIUMPH, who is a manufacturer of inner ware for ladies, announced they developed "The Citizen judge Bra" . They were inspired from "goddess of justice" which is symbolized with fairness and equality.

The bra cup was inspired from the scales, and the bra can be used as scale as well.
A skirt which is bundled with is made from a same silk with real judge wares.

This is not sold actually in the market fortunately or unfortunately.
