We’re no stranger to the “pretty girls telling us information” concept and it doesn’t stray from the tried and tested formula. Along with the weather, users now get to choose real time data from TEPCO, the besieged power company behind the Fukushima power plant. On screen, users are displayed the capacity the grid is currently running at via a pretty girl holding a chalkboard. If we approach 90% or over it is time to start thinking about turning appliances off to cut back to avoid blackouts, or so the attractive girls tell you. You can then choose to tweet the information straight from the app including the name and age of the cute, but informative, girl.
After exploring the app a little more we found that the concept has actually been extended to a whole host of different updates. You can now have girls giving you information on the cherry blossoms and how many days until in full bloom. One we particularly like, was the pollen levels for hay-fever sufferers, if you are going to be sneezing and itching your eyes all day at least you can find out from an attractive source now
