Lately DoCoMo decided to make some updates to the so
called 'English' menu, which is basically a Japanese word
for 'others', since a Brasilian site in Portuguese is
not really English if the author is not wrong here.
But a nice take of DoCoMo is to avoid the <title> tag
for the menu list, which saves packets for the user
and makes a pretty unique and descriptive description
"docomo.ne.jp/cp/h/03EngMnu.htm" in the authors bookmark list.
By following the entry "MiracleGP" which points first
in clear English to their Japanese only i-Appli and to
another entry called "i.webbee" where an "email drama"
in even more friendly Japanese awaits the English seeking
user. A back button is something useful and points directly
to your fortune in "Fortune-i" where you can get an
free excuse for cheating your partner by reading
"you and your love partner...fit together perfectly...
it doesn't matter if you date somebody else...it's
important to expand your horizon...and get to know
many different types of...lovers". Mhm, this makes
the author of this post a bit suspicious, why the
hell likes his partner "Fortune-i" so much? The next
entry is dating service "ImaHima" where you can try your
luck to follow the friendly advice you just got in "Fortune-i".
Unfortunately the author never can use "ImaHima" since
"ImaIsogasshi" would fit his lifestyle much more perfectly.
Listening to some "Bemani Hits" in perfect 16voice sound
is also not really the fun, while the stereo in 48bit and
48times oversampling plays a CD with the originals.
But here it is, the eye catcher "VIBE beep!!" sounds and looks
pleasing to the author. Ah, it's English, but hard to see with
dark fonts on dark background, so stronger glasses are needed
to read "Arrival of the download service made of Harmony Ringing
Tone VIBEbeep!! of a full load of the latest hit song...
please expect us!". The Author expects a lot and presses
fast the back button again, but before he made possible
something very dangerous and not undo able by clicking
"Cooking Japan" he gave up, since he loves this country.
