No.96
●Natinality：American
●Birth Year：20's
●Gender：Male
●Product Name：Hybrid Car
●Good / bad ：
As opposed to getting 30miles per gallon in my wife's B car, I average 45 miles per gallon in the A hybrid. California DMV distributed stickers for those with hybrids to ride in the car pool lane, even when traveling solo. This saves great time when traveling to and from work.
The wear and tear on the tires seem to be the biggest disadvantage. Although rare, going over extremely steep hills are slow and require a lot of energy.
●Improving idea：
Perhaps taking away some of the weight of the vehicle might help on both the wear and tear of the tires and the power behind the car when going up hills. A better utilization of the electric battery, running less on gas and more on electricity would be a definite improvement.

No.97
●Natinality：British
●Birth Year：30's
●Gender：Male
●Product Name：Video camera
●Good / bad ：
This video camera from A is amazing for shooting video at night. It eliminates virtually all
noise in the dark and the focus is quick to adjust to lighting changes. The anti shake feature allows for the video to appear as if you are holding the camera still even when running. In addition the controls are easy to use and the touch screen is a very nice feature. The one major disadvantage is that it does not have a wide angle lens.
●Improving idea：
This video camera would be greatly improved with a wider angle lens. On a smaller note it
would also be nice for A to start making their cameras with the capability for 1080p filming.

No.98
●Natinality：Canadian
●Birth Year：40's
●Gender：Male
●Product Name：Electric Water Boiler
●Good / bad ：
Before coming to Japan I had never used such a product, now I can't see myself living without one.
Predominantly it greatly facilitates the making of hot drinks and cup-o-noodles, as well as
keep water bottles warm on cold nights. The ability to have liters of hot water ready at my disposal is very convenient, and being able to choose the temperature the water is heated to is also a useful option. It's built-in locking mechanism prevents me from accidentally burning myself.
●Improving idea：
This particular product does its job very well. Of course a larger reservoir for water and
perhaps the ability to self-clean would be better. Also. pre-measured amounts could be useful, and personalized settings for different users needs and wants. Presenty the colors are quite bland, perhaps livelier colors for people who are more design-oriented, as well as some sort of cover for when it's not being used. Portability would be useful as well, so a battery pack could be an option, or a car cigarette-lighter plug adapter so it can be taken on the road during trips! Any of these would work just fine!
