Links to Ginza Store articles

I was going to upload some photos today but will instead list the links to news articles; there seem to have been some regulation for covering the event today. Some people have been telling me that the event today was inteded for commecial media and some non-commercial web sites were asked to remove their articles. I was out all day (until after midnight) and haven't been contacted.

As a freelance journalist who wears shoes on both sides (commerccial and non-commercial blog), I am not totally opposed to the idea of giving advantage to commercial media.



But my previous article only states fact that are now available at almost any commercial news sites in Japan (and the blogs that quote them), I will leave it as is.



And instead of uploading photos from today's session (which didn't represented the aesthetic of the store anyway), I will be listing the links to those Japanese commerical news site that has the story (and the photo in alphabetical order ;-) ):

for those of you who don't read Japanese, Bebel Fish may be helpful.



And for those of you who are expecting my articles.

MacTopia Japan may be the first media that would publicize my commercial article, Gadget Navi will be second.

MacPeople and MACPOWER, the most popular Mac magazines in Japan will follow it mid-December.





Some may find my decision controversial but I would not want to have that discussion (attached to this particular article), so I will disable comments and trackback for this particular article.


今晩にでも写真をアップロードすると書いておりましたが、一部関係者から今日の内覧会についての個人サイトでの報道については規制があると聞きました(もっとも、帰宅が夜中の12時をまわっていたので、やや手遅れですが)。



 幸いにも、前の記事は、既にほとんどの商業媒体で報じられ、その結果として、さまざまなBLOGでも引用されている事実のみの列挙なので、(既にいくつかのコメントやTrackBackもあるので)これはそのまま残し、写真のアップロードの代わりに、既に記事を掲載している商用サイトを紹介しようと思います:
