This paper aims to show that "Shibuya-kei" fashion business market is a hyper-variety market in which the creation and the reputation have mutual influence with participation by the users. This characteristic is unique to this market, and quite different from other Textile, Clothing and fashion market in Japan. Japan's Textile, Clothing and fashion industry have highly evaluated their technology and designing levels. On the other hand, it was a generally shared opinion that the globalization has accelerated sunset of this industry with increase in transplants in developing countries. Moreover, it has been difficult to retain world-level fashion designers within Japan. Japan has taken measures to attract these designers within Japan by taking part in the luxury market by developing new fashion designers and promoting presentations on Japan's technology and products. It is not clear, however, whether this market can be hopeful on future growth. However, "Shibuya-kei" Fashion have been created and reputation among consumers (include readuser). There creation and reputation cycles are very short. Then, many products are made in Japan. But Japanese fashion industry companies perspective for overseas presence are negative trends.

Insecticidal activity of the feces excreted from hydramethylnon bait-fed cockroaches was evaluated in three species and four strains of cockroaches indigenous to Japan. Cockroaches used for the test were the Yoken, Ohsaka, Shibuya and Toshima strains of Blattela germanica, Periplaneta americana and P. fuliginosa. Hydramethylnon-contained bait, male adult cockroaches, water and harborage were placed in plastic cups. Three or 4 days later when all the male cockroaches had died, the dead insects and hydramethylnon-contained bait were removed, and the feces were left in the cups. Then 1-2 instar nymphs, male and female adult cockroaches and untreated rat food were placed in each cup. As a control group, food was placed instead of hydramethylnon-contained bait, i. e., male adult cockroaches, untreated rat food, water and harborage were placed in plastic cups. Corrected cumulative mortality for each test group was calculated by the Abott method and compared with the cumulative mortality of control group. Corrected cumulative mortality of the Yoken strain of B. germanica for the experimental period of 18 days were 82.5% for adult males, 65.0% for adult females and 48.6% for 1-2 instar nymphs. Among the other field-captured strains, corrected cumulative mortality for adult females in the Shibuya strain, 1-2 instar nymphs in both the Ohsaka and Toshima strains were higher than that for the corresponding stage and/or sex in the Yoken strain. Corrected cumulative mortality of P. americana for the experimental period of 29 days were 78.7% for adult males, 7.6% for adult females and 70.9% for 1-2 instar nymphs. Corrected cumulative mortality of P. fuliginosa for the experimental period of 29 days were 23.4% for adult males, 50.0% for adult females and 76.7% for 1-2 instar nymphs. Although the mortality for adult females P. americana was low, our results demonstrated that hydramethylnon has a secondary kill effect for B. germanica, P. americana and P. fuliginosa through the feces excreted by hydramethylnon-fed cockroaches.

過去20年間経験したこともない販売状況となっているアルバ「スプーン」のヒットの裏に隠された、開発プロセスをここに紹介する。まずは人ありきから端を発したコア・ターゲットの選定からキー・イメージ、インターフェイス・デザイン、スタイリング、プロト各段階におけるグルインによるデザイン評価と方向修正。商品のおかれかた(VMD)から価格、コレクションのありかた、セールス・プロモーションの仕掛けかたまでにもおよぶ、パネラーとの意見交換。こうしたターゲットとの疑似体験ともいえる一貫したグルイン方式による商品開発プロセスは、従来のメーカー主導型開発や販売サイドの延長線上的商品開発、はたまたデザイナーの主観的提案といった枠を超え、供給者と需要者のコラボレーションにより予想外のREALITYを内在するものとなった。彼らの発する言葉の奥底に潜む眠った記憶、これを解読し推測しビジュアルなものにしてあげる行為、またデザイナー自身の感性にも蘇ってきた記憶、こうしたプロセスが生んだ直感ともいえる相互のリアル・パーセプション。これがアルバ「スプーン」のオリジンといえる。

本稿では，福島県川俣町における外来音楽の受容とローカリティの構築過程に着目し，音楽と地域の関係を検討した．その際，音楽を実践の中で創造され改変されていく存在として理解し，演奏や聴取に限定しない多様な音楽的行為を音楽実践として把握した．川俣町では1975年から南米の音楽フォルクローレのイベントが開催されており，現在は日本最大級の規模となっている．当初，イベントに対し一部の住民から反発がみられ，音楽実践は演奏者のみに限られていた．しかし，町内の若年層による実践や行政の関与，外部評価を得たことを契機に音楽が地域へと浸透し，地域活性化の手段として音楽を実践する住民団体が登場した．住民の音楽実践では，音楽を地域資源として認識することが重要であることが示された．また，実践者による積極的な音楽への実体論的／認識論的ローカリティの構築により，音楽と地域が関係づけられることが明らかとなった．

We are developing a wearable musical instrument system that (1) enables individual and daily portability of playing a song as well as listening to it, (2) enables ad hoc musical sessions with passers-by who have same systems and similar taste, (3) enables ad hoc collaborative music composition, (4) and enables active direction of everyday life virtually. In this paper, a prototype system was developed and examined. According to the results, we propose a concept "Dressable Music", that an active direction of everyday life using wireless-networked and wearable musical instruments, and propose a design of "CosTune" system which is expected to actualizes the concept.
