Feature 1: Maximizing Site Performance Using Google Search Console

Changing the Common Practice of SEO! One-of-a-kind Genuine Tool for Optimizing Search

Due to frequent changes in search algorithm, Google seems to take a negative stance toward superficial SEO. In such a climate, “Google Web Master Tool” changed its name to “Google Search Console.” The reason behind it is to emphasize the fact that this tool is not only for Web creators but also for everyone who is interested in search. To coincide with the renaming, the search key word analyzing tool “Search Traffic” was juiced up dramatically and became capable of analyzing search key words, which were impossible to look up and always turned out as “(not provided)” on “Google Analytics.” With this turnaround, it became possible to achieve substantive SEO and even to improve the performance of a site itself through detailed analysis. This feature explains the essence of this renewed product.

HIRAO Masashi (Bonsai Master)_An “Artisan” who Transcends Both National Boundaries and Cultures

A lot of people probably associate bonsai with the image of an elderly man pruning plants in his yard. Or like in old-time manga stories when a homerun from sandlot baseball flies over the fence crashing into the “high-end articles of taste” in the backyard of a neighboring home. Today, however, do you know that a young “Bonsai Warrior” is traveling across the world to break new ground with bonsai? HIRAO Masashi has flown intercontinentally to share the fascination of bonsai at art galleries and at times through the collaboration with DJs. We visited the artisan who knocked the door of the famous name as a layman and carries on the tradition while pushing the envelope.

Lumit_Free Streaming Service that “Pursues Ideal” Created by a Bandsman Himself

Text: NAKAYA Kenichi

Flat-rate music streaming services such as AWA, LINE MUSIC and Apple Music have been launched in Japan one after another, changing the way to enjoy music using smartphones. On the other hand, the free services popular in the States have yet to be realized in Japan possibly due to the existing music-related companies which show reluctance to the idea. Under such circumstances, a free-streaming service of indie label music “Lumit” is providing service that connects musicians and listeners. On top of that, it’s a working musician who operates it.
