Tono City and JFP Inc. announce the release of two CD-ROM titles:
"365 Days in Tono" and "The Colors and Seasons
of Tono". These titles have been jointly developed by Tono
City and JFP inc who jointly own the copyrights. This represents
a new promotion model for local areas.
Tono City (famous for the "Tono Story" written by the
folklore scholar Kunio Yanagida) and JFP Inc. (based in Morioka,
northern Japan, President and CEO: Norihiro Urushibara, Capitalization:
10 million Yen) announce the release of two CD-ROM titles: "365
Days in Tono" and "The Colors and Seasons of Tono".
There are many examples of CD-ROMs made by local areas for promotion
purposes but they have all involved the copyright being held solely
by the promoting area, and as a result, sales have been almost
non-existent.
These CD-ROM titles have been developed under the joint copyright of Tono City and JFP Inc. and represent the future path of multimedia promotion projects for local areas: allowing for the marketing expertise of JFP Inc. to help push sales.
"365 Days in Tono" (Win/Mac hybrid CD-ROM priced at 5,000yen) is based on the idea of a "tear-off" calendar and introduces the culture and scenery of Tono on a day by day basis. By spending just a little time each day we hope that you can come to feel a natural affection for Tono. This fun title includes panoramic movies, old folk tales and impressions of the modern-day Tono.
"The Colors and Seasons of Tono" (Win/Mac hybrid
CD-ROM priced at 3,000yen) brings together a collection of prize-winning
photographs from a contest sponsored by Tono City. From the beautiful
scenery to the people of Tono there are 124 stunning pictures
for you to enjoy and appreciate the four seasons of Tono.
