joshnii 2 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Been using the site since last season when I first came to Niigata - every day in the winter. Not posted before today, but what the heck I was at work just this morning and one of my Japanese colleagues showed me todays newspaper, the Niigata Nippo (it's the main Niigata Japanese newspaper). Lo and behold, a big feature on this site, photo of office an' all. Reads well, too - great bit of publicity - lots of Niigata Japanese people will be reading seeing that anyway, can't miss it. Good to see it being introduced to Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 6, 2003 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 6, 2003 Thanks joshnii. I didn't actually know it was going to be in the paper today, and only found out on the way to the office this morning when a local came up and told me to look in the paper! We've done a few interviews with Japanese newspapers and magazines and so hopefully there will be more publicity coming up. Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 What was it about? Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 DumbStick (nice name)... It just gave a bit of background about the English site and how it has become really popular introducing foreigners to the Japanese ski/board scene, and then went on to introduce the new J site and it's unique points. Quite a big piece Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 Can't escape you in Niigata these days - just heard the interview with Andrew on FM PORT radio. Nice one, getting some good coverage here anyway - thanks for the English message too Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 8, 2003 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 8, 2003 It was a bit nervewracking doing an interview on the telephone in Japanese, but it went well I think. Thanks for listening in, joshnii - are you actually in Niigata city then? Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 I went into Himalaya Sports in Nagaoka on Sunday and one of the staff came up to me with - guess what - a snowjapan.com flyer! Are you paying them? I can't get away from you guys in Niigata. Link to post Share on other sites
Ski Japan Guide 0 Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Glad to hear that joshnii. Very happy to hear they are actually handing them out! And no, they're not getting paid - just being very helpful it seems Link to post Share on other sites
