(A : Akiko, T : Tina, N : Naoki)

Narrator: It's a lazy summer Saturday in New York City - except for Akiko and Tina. They'll work all weekend to create a new presentation for Monday...and try to fit some shopping in, too...Meanwhile, back in Tokyo, Naoki has what he calls an emergency, and he's trying to reach Tina on her cellphone...

N: こんな時間まで一晩中色々試してみたけど。NYにいるティナさんに電話がつながらないじゃないか…。よし、ここは一眠りするか。そしたら頭も今よりすっきりすると思うし。

T: Sigh. We've been dancing around the point all day, and I think it's because...well, when Mike asked for a new presentation, he threw the baby out with the bathwater!

A: He...baby...?!

T: He threw the baby out with the bathwater, you know, like, he asked us to change the logic of the presentation, and that's the bathwater, and the baby is...oh never mind...I think we don't have a choice, we have to re-write it.

A: Um...

T: Yeah, that's right! Let's just start over...why did Mega Corp fly us here?

A: Um, to explain the Japanese social media landscape.　

T: Hey, that's pretty good!

A: That's the subtitle you wrote.

T: I thought it sounded familiar...anyway, so yeah, we need to explain the equivalents to Web 2.0 and semantic web and social media services...and the people who use them...

A: Maybe the question should be different...

T: What do you think?

A: Well, maybe it should focus on the user, not the service...?

T: So...maybe, like, a day in the life...hey, Akiko that's a great idea!

A: If we follow someone through their day...

T: Excellent - we can name them, and tell their story, and even go so far as to link to the sites they're using, and listening to a little bit of the podcasts they're downloading, and read a little bit of the cellphone novel and maybe even...

A: （ああ、でもそうするとちょっと無理なような。面白そうだけど、無理っぽいな）...Um...

T: yeah, I know. It's impossible. Fun but impossible. I wish Mike had said something about his little brainstorm just a little bit earlier,.. oh, it's my phone...

T: Hello? Hello? Hm, that's the second time I got that number, it looks like it's on the west coast, but when I pick up there's no answer...

Narrator: Akiko and Tina try to figure out how to create a brand-new presentation for Monday, without it looking like a rush job - and Naoki is trying to master the intricacies of his IP phone...

N: Tina-san! Hello! Uh, Tina-san? Can you hear me? Hello! Is it you? あれ、このIP電話おかしいぞ。あれ、つながってるのかな？　

　 (A : Akiko, T : Tina, N : Naoki)

Narrator: Akiko and Tina have come up with a brand new approach to their presentation - it's starting to take shape, as they work in Tina's hotel room in New York City...

T: Okay, okay, okay, so, the guy is...um, 30...

A: What's his name?

T: Naoki. Just kidding! How about...um...how about... Ichiro. Everybody'll know how to pronounce that one...Ichiro Morita.

A: Okay, and the female?

T: You name the female - I'm not sure.

A: Um...Ayumi Watanabe.

T: Wow, that was quick! So Ichiro Morita gets up in the morning, and the first thing he does, besides washing up and eating, is checking his PC. His homepage is...StickyPedia.

A: Right.

T: His cellphone rings, it's his girlfriend Ayumi.

A: It sounds like a Saturday - they don't need to go to work, right?

T: Right. They're going to meet in the afternoon, but she's calling because she's all excited, she got 3 comments about her mobile phone novel...

A: okay

T: and he says he wants to meet later in the afternoon because he wants to update his TheirSpace page with new pictures...and he's especially happy that all of his YourTunes podcasts have downloaded - he's learning conversational English with one of them...

A: okay. So, I need to make up pages...

T: Right. And I'll write the rest of the scenarios...then lets go over them, and if everything fits, we can start building the actual text and graphics...I'd like to have music, let's see what we can get from the server library...

A: Okay. I'm kind of hungry, are you?

T: Starving...let's pick up a bite at the coffee shop downstairs and then jump right into it...who is that?

A: （もしかして、誰かが東京のオフィスから電話しているのかな。でもだったらホテルに連絡がくるはずだし。うーん）

Narrator: Akiko and Tina are on a roll. The new presentation is coming together quickly. But there's a problem looming, an unpleasant surprise...what will they do about it? Stay tuned...
