I read this big news on my friend's facebook article.
My hometown Okayama city will change city's name to 'Momotaro city'.
('Momotaro' is well known Japanese folk tale in Okayama. 'Momo' means peach and 'Momotaro' means peach boy.)
Okayama city's PR site is here (only Japanese).

Actually Okayama city doesn't change name , this is fiction for PR plan of city.
They imitate neighbour Prefectures PR plan, Kagawa Prefecture and Hiroshima Prefecture.
Around me, city's people are not positive towards this plan.
I think it's not good idea and the design of this web site is so bad.
Ｉ don't live in Okayama and I don't pay residence tax now, but I want say my opinion !!
I wish they made 'Like' button of facebook.
By the way, many people move to Okayama from other Prefecture recently, especially after the Tohoku earthquake.
Certainly very few disasters in Okayama and weather is almost calm sunny.
It's pretty good city to live, indeed very safety.
I wish they could do good and cool PR !!
I stayed in the United Kingdom about a month and I returned to Japan to obtain a VISA two weeks ago.
I have been so busy to prepare for moving ....
I found this article in Japanese site by chance.

My favourite artist, L’Arc～en～Ciel ranked No.3 !!
Of course they are really popular in France.
I am so happy to know this.
I think that they became the instigator of the Japanese rock band boom.
I can't wait for announcement of the next world tour.
They less exposure to the media, so I really want to go live soon !!
It is also nice for this DVD, which was released at the end of last year.
