The 5S Process

The 5S Process, or simply "5S", is a structured program to systematically achieve total organization, cleanliness, and standardization in the workplace. A well-organized workplace results in a safer, more efficient, and more productive operation. It boosts the morale of the workers, promoting a sense of pride in their work and ownership of their responsibilities.
"5S" was invented in Japan, and stands for five (5) Japanese words that start with the letter 'S': Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke. An equivalent set of five 'S' words in English have likewise been adopted by many, to preserve the "5S" acronym in English usage. These are: Sort, Set (in place), Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Some purists do not agree with these English words - they argue that these words have lost the essence of the original 5 Japanese words.

1. Be concise and to the point.
Do not make an e-mail longer than it needs to be. Remember that reading an e-mail is harder than reading printed communications and a long e-mail can be very discouraging to read.
2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions.
An email reply must answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions – If you do not answer all the questions in the original email, you will receive further e-mails regarding the unanswered questions, which will not only waste your time and your customer’s time but also cause considerable frustration. Moreover, if you are able to pre-empt relevant questions, your customer will be grateful and impressed with your efficient and thoughtful customer service. Imagine for instance that a customer sends you an email asking which credit cards you accept. Instead of just listing the credit card types, you can guess that their next question will be about how they can order, so you also include some order information and a URL to your order page. Customers will definitely appreciate this.

The list of stores were taken from SmaSTATION (スマステ) shown last October 20th. I have never been to any of the listed stores. For details I recommend checking out the store first because the list below is just a rough list. You will see tabehoudais with nomihoudai and no time limit. Of course expect the usual waiting time because of the very long lines.
The main difference with other tabehoudais is even though there were long lines as shown on TV, people from distant prefectures bother to wait in line for hours.

1. Eat curry for breakfast. Packed curry is fine with me. The one which you only need to heat. Curry is considered to be a power-packed meal that contains ingredients some says prevents cancer. On a different topic, major league New York Yankees player Ichiro Suzuki eats curry for breakfast everyday for as long as he can remember.

I saw Pink Five on Japanese TV last week and after some searching it appears she and Red one are still with the entertainment industry. The rest of the cast, Green Two, Blue Three and specially Yellow Four it is very hard to find their latest pictures on the internet.
There was a blog posted August 21, 2012 about the reunion of not only Bioman casts but also other Super Sentai series. According to the blog Bioman the cast haven't met in group since the final broadcast.
