Noriko's Fashion Choice Talento Kato Noriko (32) is to get married on New Year's Day, according to her agency yesterday. The lucky man is Wakatsuki Yoshio (43), a creative director in the fashion world. The fax announcement of the engagement caught the media by surprise as the two have only been going out since the spring, though they've been living together for the last couple of months. They have known each other for several years, and met when Kato took a break from showbusiness to study in Paris in 2000. Wakatsuki was working on the Paris Collection at the time. • Rock band Mr. Children finished up their first nationwide "dome tour" with a show last night at Tokyo Dome. They played to 45,000 fans, bringing the tour total to about 390,000. Vocalist Sakurai Kazutoshi (35), who battled with serious illness in 2003 that saw the band take a 6-month hiatus, said 2005 was the best year ever. • Kabuki actor Onoe Matsusuke died of cancer at a Tokyo hospital on Monday. He was 59. • A survey has shown that people are pretty evenly divided about whether national broadcaster NHK should take legal action against those who refuse to pay their license fee. The number of those refusing to pay has increased to over a million following a series of scandals involving NHK employees.

Hotel Travel

MobiSys 2004 - The Second International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services, June, 2004 Conference Hotel Why should you stay in the headquarter hotel? We encourage you to stay in the conference hotel and when making your reservation to identify yourself as a MobiSys conference attendee. It is by contracting rooms for our attendees that we can significantly reduce hotel charges for meeting room rental. And, when the sleeping rooms are not utilized, we face significant financial penalties. As a result, these penalties force us to ultimately raise registration fees. We recognize, however, that not everyone can afford to stay in the conference hotel so we always try to book venues that have some low-cost alternatives available nearby the conference. With costs going higher and higher, we are working very hard to negotiate the very best hotel rates and keep other conference expenses down in order to keep registration fees as low as possible. We appreciate you helping us in this endeavor. Hyatt Harborside 101 Harborside Drive Boston, Massachusetts 02128 USA Tel: +1 617 568 1234 Fax: +1 617 567 8856 Please make your reservation as soon aspossible by contacting the hotel directly. You must mention ACMMobiSys'04 to get the special group rate. You may book your room online at the hotel Web site . Conference Rate over the conference dates: Single/Double : $149.00 Hyatt Harborside is located at the edge of Boston Harbor, on the grounds of Logan International Airport, overlooking the city's skyline and waterfront. Adjacent to the downtown Water Taxi dock, our Boston harbor hotel is just 7 minutes to downtown Boston's famous landmarks, including the financial and entertainment districts and historical areas. Other Nearby Hotels Hilton at Boston's Logan Airport: Selling for $189 over conference dates. Phone number : 617-568-6700. Embassy Suites at Boston's Logan Airport: Selling for$189 over conference dates. Phone number : 617-567-5000.
