            Otta will apply the know-how of its service for children to prevent dementia patients from going missing due to wandering. The service will first be offered in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, and is expected to be used by several hundred people in the first year. The service will be available at the city office. The terminals will be distributed mainly in the form of magnetic clips that can be wrapped around a staff or attached to shoes. The monthly fee for the service is expected to be several hundred yen. While the routes to and from school are fixed for children to some extent, it has been difficult for the elderly to read the range of their activities. The city of Minoh began a verification experiment in 2016 by distributing monitoring terminals to elementary and junior high school students, and in 2005 expanded the scope of the experiment to include the elderly.

                Mechanical watches made in Japan by Mirco

                In May, Mirco launched its first product, TYPE-02, a mechanical wristwatch with a chronograph function inspired by the 1970s, priced at 250,000 yen, excluding consumption tax. About 100 units were produced and sold out immediately. The customer base was split 50/50 between Japan and overseas. President Hiraoka and Tatsuya Watanabe, director of the company, were close friends who worked hard together in their high school American football team. When they were students, they talked about the appeal of watches, and President Hiraoka went to work for Orient Watch (now Seiko Epson) and Director Watanabe went to work for a watch specialty store. Nowadays, the number of Japanese craftsmen who have the skills to manufacture mechanical watches is decreasing, pushed by quartz watches. Feeling a sense of crisis that Japanese technology was being lost, he accumulated funds and know-how to establish the company.
