Filled with the moisture in the rainy season, these summer vegetables are so fleshy and juicy, giving a special appeal some spring vegetables do not carry. Why don't you take a break and enjoy the audio and the seasonal vegetables? Takenori Miyauchi http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/akiba/050617/indexe.html <Nipponbashi Shop> Hi, I'm Yoshioka of the Nipponbashi shop. The dismal rainy season began here in Osaka only yesterday. The Nipponbashi shop is fully air-conditioned to welcome you nicely at any time. Do we have to shift our way to the ongoing ‘Cool Biz' way? Anyway, we'll be pushing ahead with the McIntoshi this week, too. Takayuki Yoshioka http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/nihon/050617/indexe.html <Ohsu Head Shop> This week's feature is ‘Authentic Audio Flavor'. I'm pleased to introduce the Ohsu stock that would charm you in somewhat different way than the recent clear-cut audio.
