No.48
●Natinality：American
●Birth Year：30's
●Sex：Male
●Product Name： Shaving Lotion
●Good / bad ：
I have been using this product for about one year. Shaving cream can be somewhat messy and also have an adverse effect on the facial skin. Lotion, on the other hand, is less mess and has not yet given me blemishes that would otherwise have shown due to creams or gels.
The price seems to be very reasonable, too.
The only disadvantage I can see is that it is in a bottle that is difficult to gauge the amount that comes out.
Overall I believe the product to be superior to creams or gels.
●Improving idea：
I don't see any major flaws with this product. Only that if it were in a pump spout bottle, then less may be wasted. The lid tends to collect old residue from past usage.

No.49
●Natinality：German
●Birth Year：40's
●Sex：Female
●Product Name： Healthy drink
●Good / bad ：
Advantages
- Containing the right mix of minerals to compat dehydration after an intensive workout like a martial arts class or jogging.
- Sweet subtle taste. I like sweet things and prefer the drink taste to that of many other sports drinks
- Easy to get as ready-mixed bottles are available in all convinience stores or powder can be purchased there too or at most drugstores and supermarkets
Disadvantes
- Taste becomes stale after leaving it for a day or two
- Price is higher than that for most softdrinks
- Powder packaging, if the content of one pack is not used up all at once, the remaining content becomes hard and difficult to dissolve.
●Improving idea：
- Change powder packaging to a resealable pack.
- Split the powder pack into two or even four parts so that content can be used 2/3/4 times to mix in smaller bottles of water
- Press the powder into pill-type of shapes and put ten of them in a tube. Each pill should be enough for one glass of water (compare similar concept of so-called "Brausetablette" (fizzy pill) in Germany). That way it would be easier to use it while on-the-go.
- Pill format, ie even smaller and to be used without much water just like a medical pill for a quick dehydration treat.
- It is now white-milky but in case of development of fizzy pills, each pill could have a colour to make coloured drinks (provided it will not be artificial colouring but some natural one)

No.50
●Natinality：British
●Birth Year：20's
●Sex：Male
●Product Name：Mimikaki
●Good / bad ：
Main advantages: Feels great and helps maintain the users ears and health.
Main disadvantages: None (if used properly).
●Improving idea：
The product itself is already excellent. However, I believe the product should be marketed overseas as, for example, a health product.
