The theme of the 5th Open Mic Night is… “My Favorite Things”!
It would be much easier for everybody to talk about… I believe.

Let’s grab a microphone and say out loud how much you love what you love! (Not only things, but also your sweetheart, darling, husband or wife!)

Then I would like to tell you about a SNS called “metters” a little bit. It connects you with people through hobbies, interests, or your favorite things!

“What’s SNS to you?” That’s the theme of the 4th session of Open Mic Night.

Why do you use SNS? What can you take by using SNS? How did your life change after SNS? And let us ask you, “Do you think SNS can change the world?” Please talk on these things through a microphone!

At the end of the event, we’ll explain a bit about My Eyes Tokyo’s new SNS called “metters”. You can connect with people through your interests or hobbies.

We had Mari Hamada (Hamamari) as a guest again this week. Tonight’s points are…

We had one more wonderful girl tonight! She manages her own website called “Nadeshiko Voice” which contains interviews with active women abroad, mainly live and work in Asia.

Most existing Social Networking Services are centered around “individual”. But metters dares to focus on “Bukatsu” or “Club activities”, not an individual. Bukatsu means activities that are done by those who share the same interest. So anyone can organize a group freely once you sign up with metters. And each of you can be a captain or manager of each group. It’ll be fun if you gather people.

Face-to-face communications stem from virtual world one after the other. Places that allow people with any backgrounds to interact face to face each other.

That’s the origin of metters. We hope your daily lives can be richer through metters. So let’s connect on “Bukatsu”! Please look at the activity situation of metters from here.

従来のSNSは、メインは”人”でした。しかしmettersは、あえてメインを人ではなく”部活”にしました。部活は「趣味や好みを同じくする者の集まり」。ですので、会員登録をすればどなたでも自由に部活を立ち上げることができます。そして立ち上げた皆さんが部長になり、いろんな人を集めれば、楽しさは何倍にもなるでしょう。

バーチャルの世界から、“部活”を通して人種も国籍も超えてリアルにつながる。そんな絆が日本から、やがては世界に広がる。

そんな想いを込めたSNSがmettersです。mettersを通じて、皆さんの日々の暮らしがより豊かになることを願っています。mettersの活動状況はこちらからご覧ください。

When you participate in club activities or you make a club, please carry out user’s registration first here.

部活に参加したり、部活を作る場合は、まずこちらからユーザー登録をしてください。

We had Tomoe Ono, a representative of ASIA Link, again this week.
Tonight show was the last one in 2011, an incredibly turbulent year. A lot of affairs occurred, but we can’t be happier if tonight show healed your weariness and we could spend a romantic Christmas Eve with you.

This year’s last guest of My Eyes Tokyo is Tomoe Ono, a representative of ASIA Link! It works as a “bridge” between foreign students and small businesses in Japan. We also want to be a bridge between foreigners and Japanese, so we would like to learn from them.
