It was WAmazing that got the best award this day.


日本はオリンピックの影響もあって訪日外国人の数が、2015年の2000万人弱から2020年には4000万人にしようと政府が計画しています。その際彼らが困るのが、日本にいる間のスマホの通信問題。日本は諸外国に比べて無料wifiも非常に少ないと言われています。

WAmazing (WAMAISHING) to be used in such a case. Since there is a machine of Wamazing at the airport, if you receive SIM that you registered in advance and plug SIM into smartphone, you will be able to use smartphones even in Japan. Wamazing has already been installed at Narita Airport, and it seems that it is aiming for installation at Haneda Airport in July.

Wamazing's communication limit is 500 MB, but users who want to use more than that can purchase additional from the application. In addition, when pre-registering, you need to install Wamazing's application, enter the itinerary etc. at that time. It seems that there is also a function that will guide hotel recommendations and taxis from Wamazing using that information.

 

CGM "Runtrip" to post running courses around the world

Mr. Omori of Runtrip

 

Runtrip is a runner-oriented CGM service where runners from all over the world will post off the road that boasts. Mr. Omori himself was originally a runner of Hakone Ekiden, thinking that running can be enjoyed more, he seems to have launched Runtrip.

Looking at Runtrip's web and applications, there are many running courses posted by runners. It seems that there are also courses around the seas, courses around temples, and overseas courses. The user sees this and runs the same course, is not it? With Runtrip you can rediscover local roads and meet nice running courses at your destination. When running it seems to cooperate with apple watch and also course navigation.

If you run in the neighborhood of the house, when you go running all the way to run Runner is worried about facility information on what clothes change and luggage storage is like. The Runtrip seems to be describing those information properly.

 

Recently, there is a running boom, and it seems that group runs are popular. So it is important that community management is also important. Along with that, "Each person runs his / her favorite course, pace and distance on one hand with the aim of being a determined goal venue"Runtrip viaIt seems that it also launched recently.

 

A music service "DIGLE" that everyone's playlists can share

Nishimura of CotoLab

DIGLE (DIGLE) is a music sharing platform using spotify. A few days after entering the sprout, a press release for formal launch came out and was taken up in various media.

Feel free to digit music! Music playlist sharing service "DIGLE", also cooperating with major labels


毎日効く音楽が一緒。新しい音楽をさがすのが面倒。音楽が好きな人でもこんな悩みを抱えています。そんなときに登場するのがDIGLE。 Spotifyを利用して、プレイリストをスマホで共有できるサービスです。

To hear and share the playlist peitaro is I did not this ring a bell, but was found to hear that Instagram of music edition. A favorite model or posting by a celebrity is a thing that it seems to be tied up even if it does not concern himself. Likewise, if a favorite entertainer shares a playlist, I'd rather hear it.

Next time I can tell you more, I am looking forward to that time (¯ ー ¯)

 

Health care server "healthServer" blending everyday

続いて登場したのはドリコスの竹さん。「あなただけの、スマート栄養士」を標榜する「healthServer(ヘルスサーバー)」を開発しています。

Health care devices have come out in the world a lot, but it is said that many of them do not actually change their behavior only with advice. But healthServer is different. Actually prompt the user to change behavior.

When using healthServer, first enter the schedule before and after running, sleeping and so on. Next, measure the body load with the biosensor. Then, because nutrients lacking in your body are poured into the cup with a water-soluble powder, dissolve it in water and drink it.


healthServerのコンセプトは生活に溶け込むこと。なのでユーザがわざわざやらなくてはならないことはなるべく避けたいとの言葉も印象的でした。

Full-scale deployment of healthServer is scheduled for September 2017. Although it is from office use, it seems that it is also considering selling for home use.

 

 

Voice SNS "Shumitomo" connected by conversation

Mr. Tsukura of anycolor who operates schmidtmo

It is anycolor who manages Schmidtmo. Anycolor refers to various personality, and it is the company's mission to reduce the total amount of loneliness. It is also a member, too, there are a variety of people who are also former music producers and popular cosplayers.

Well, Schmidtomo is a SNS that connects by voice. It is a service that can talk with a common topic. It is easy to communicate only by voice, if you are a woman you do not need makeup and you do not have to dress up.

 

How to use Schmidtmo is easy. Just find a Schmidtpy (topic) and enjoy a voice chat with up to 4 people. There seems to be a way of enjoying just listening to other users' conversation. I want you to use something when you want to share something, want to make a noise, or spare time.

peitaro likes indie band live, but it is hard to find someone to share with indie. Schmidtmo may be able to solve such a problem, so I'd love to use it something after LIVE.

Apps are going to launch in April. Please check it out.

 

The next sprout will be scheduled in early June

The next sprout will be held in Shibuya in early June. The next announcement will be on Facebook so please do follow it!
