Be Careful about Japanese Info on April 1 April Fool

Be Careful about Japanese Info on April 1 April Fool
	April 1 is coming.
	Here is Japan, we celebrate April Fool and no one would blame any lie.
	Other countries celebrate April Fool too.
	But this year you need to be careful.
	Why?
	Japan just faced the Tohoku giant earthquake, and many problems leftover. If there are false info about Japan, people may really trust the false source.
	Especially we've got a nuclear power plant issue now, need to pay attention.
	If someone joke that there is an explosion at nuclear power plant, people will be in panic. We need to make confirmation.
	The plant really seems to be able to explode...
	So annoying.
	We can only trust the professional.
	So, this year's April 1 is not a good day to joke about Japan.
	Copy that.

Gaming will Become High Class Entertainment

Gaming will Become High Class Entertainment
	Gaming will become high class entertainment huh.
	What the hell...
	That's possible.
	What do you mean? Price of game software may exceed 10,000Yen,but that's not high class.
	The software itself is not that expensive, but the cost to play the game will be much higher.
	You mean download content?
	No.
	What do you want to say...
	Electricity fee.
	Electricity fee...
	In the coming future, electricity fee in Japan would rise, and this makes the cost to play games relatively higher. I don't know the exact rate, but the cost would certainly increase. For those who play games for long time, they will gradually notice the electricity fee become higher and higher.
	Why would the electricity fee rise?
	Of course related to the nuclear accident. Nuclear power plants in Japan maybe closed and no more new plant allowed. Modern Japan's development is supported by the cheap electricity by nuclear power, if that is no longer available, electricity fee must rise.
	No other method to generate electricity?
	Fossil fuelled power plants are too expensive, think about the oil price. Japan gasoline price had not rise for a while due to Yen's exchange rate, so we don't really notice the problem of fossil fuel. Yen's exchange rate may drop. High oil price and high cost of fossil fuelled power plant, all factors inducing high electricity fee.
	And this makes gaming expensive huh.
	And gaming maybe as expensive as high class entertainment.
	Is this the case of disaster area?
	Right now it is the problem of Tokyo and Touhoku, but opposition to nuclear power may continue and other power plant may stop running for check, at the end the whole Japan will face a high power fee.
	Gaming will really be affected huh.
	Well, we used to wasting electricity. So high power fee is not bad, as we could learn to save energy. Many facilities don't need illumination in the day time. We are still living now while facing periodic blackout, so we can make it.
