Hello and welcome to today's news from Tote Mo Tech on July 13, 2024. In today's news, the Digital Strategy Expo 2024 Summer, organized by IT Media, has begun. One of the upcoming speakers in the financial strategy category is Mr. Kiyohide Nakata, a certified public accountant and the Head Research Committee member of the Japan CFO Association. His speech will focus on promoting rational management decisions rather than just being a number cruncher. Moving on to our next story with the recent extreme heat waves, air conditioners have become essential for daily life. As a result, a new genre of spot coolers has emerged and one of the latest additions is the battery-powered compact cooler by Yamazan. We tested this portable cooler in a room with a scorching temperature of 30 degrees Celsius to see how well it performs. Now let's talk about the current deer boom in Japan. The popular TV anime Shika Nokono has sparked a widespread interest in deer. Even Google searches are showing an increase in deer-related queries. It's quite a phenomenon. Moving on, Keynes, a home improvement retailer has announced a voluntary recall of its circulator product, which can be disassembled for maintenance. There have been incidents of the circulator catching fire while in use, so the company is urging customers to immediately stop using the product. In international news, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida had his first in-person meeting with British Prime Minister Starmer in Washington. They agreed to collaborate on various fields such as developing the next-generation fighter aircraft, AI, and economic cooperation. Next, the ride-sharing startup Numo has launched its service in Osaka. To mark the occasion, they held a departure ceremony at the Expo 70 commemorative park. The CEO, Naoki Aoyagi, expressed their commitment to the success of the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo and mentioned the possibility of providing the service 24 hours a day if regulations regarding operating hours are relaxed. In tech news, Duango, the company behind Niconikoduga, which has been experiencing service disruptions due to a cyber attack, announced that they are making progress in restoring the service.
