Naoto Kan, Japan’s 94th prime minster who took the position this June, enters into the web by his new blog today, November 18th.
The blog, named “Kan-full Blog” after his sirname “Kan” and an English word “full”, which shows his full efforts on communication, also has a pun meaning “camphor” to inject for “revitalizing Japan”, as explained on the blog’s sidebar.
On the first post, the author, who is not Mr. Kan himself (clear by how the writing handle the name and the title), explains it is going to have three categories of posts.
Kan-full TV Posts featuring movie which is either “interview of the PM” or his address/speech. Staff will find his odd minutes between busy works and take his fresh voices. Ippo Ippo(step by step) Daily report of his activities. Meant to be an index to the detailed political resources on all government ministries and agencies websites. Kantei Zakkichou(The prime minister’s office notebook) PM’s office staff and others will report the prime minister as they see.
So it is not direct speech by Kan himself, but by his team.
Interactivity and social aspects
It is nothing strange as Japanese politician’s blog, there are no comments or trackback systems offered on each blog post. There is a feedback form, on which you may send his/her opinions, suggestions, etc. Your gender, age (from 0 to “over 100″) and prefecture(or “oversea”) are asked but not mandatory.
For a notification, you can choose from RSS1.0, RSS2.0 or e-mail.
Mobile version is guided by both URL and QR Code. The blog name is embedded at the centre of the QR Code, which is a gimmick using the bar code’s error correction ability.
