Mozo Wondercity to Open on Tuesday, April 21 March 5, 2009 Mitsubishi Corporation AEON MALL Co., Ltd. AEON RETAIL Co., Ltd. Opening of Mozo Wondercity in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture Mozo Wondercity To Open on Tuesday, April 21 Since November 2007, Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and AEON Mall Co., Ltd (AM) have been redeveloping a shopping center in the north of Nagoya city, named “Mozo Wondercity”. The shopping center will open its doors to the public on April 21. Mozo Wondercity aims to “create a pleasant community for all” through services that meet the constantly changing needs of the consumer. The symbol of Mozo Wondercity is a baby tree, which has strong natural and environmental connotations. This is included in the shopping center’s new logo (as shown below). The baby tree signifies two things. The first is growth. Just as a carefully-nurtured sapling eventually grows into a magnificent tree, this new mall will hopefully flourish thanks to the care, support, and patronage of the community. The second is our natural environment. The baby tree image shows how Mozo Wondercity will exist as an environmentally conscious and friendly facility, a relatively new concept among shopping centers. 1 History of Mozo Wondercity The original shopping center was developed in 1994 and has been operated by AEON Mall Co., Ltd. for 13 years. During this time, it has been the most popular shopping center in the region. Amidst ongoing housing developments, however, the landscape has changed, and consumer preferences have grown increasingly diverse. The decision was made by MC and AM to redevelop the shopping center in order to better respond to these changing needs, giving rise to the new “Wondercity”. 1 2 Location of Mozo Wondercity Mozo Wondercity is located in Futakata-cho, a commuter town in northern Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. The area is already heavily-populated and continues to grow. The shopping mall is easily accessible by car and train, situated alongside an arterial road, Route 302, and a Prefectural road, and nearby Kamiotai Station on the Meitetsu Line. There is clearly great potential for Mozo Wondercity to build a strong customer base. 3 Layout of Mozo Wondercity Mozo Wondercity is the largest shopping center in Nagoya City and seventh largest in Japan. Its total retail space is about 69,000 ㎡, offering everything from daily necessities to the most sophisticated products on the market, and meeting our shopping needs with the highest quality of customer service. Mozo Wondercity supports the simplest to most refined lifestyles, consisting of around 220 retailers, including major names in high-end fashion, supermarkets, and sporting goods. Anchor stores: JUSCO, FRAXUS, VIVRE, ZARA, UNIQLO, MUGI 4 Mozo Wondercity – a convenient facility Mozo Wondercity occupies a strategically-designed building that easily accommodates the needs of all its customers, including the physically-handicapped, senior citizens, expecting mothers, and families with young children. The complex has been built to exacting standards in compliance with a barrier-free, “Universal Design”. The walls, columns, floor, and ceiling incorporate clear and highly-visible signs that complement the building’s unique architecture while providing consumers 2 with all the information they need for a stress-free, enjoyable shopping experience. 5 But what exactly does “MOZO” mean? “MOZO” is Japanese onomatopoeic word that describes the sound made when something starts to move, or is stirred to life. The name is meant to give the shopping center a sense of fresh vitality, the feeling that things within are coming to life. When we notice something is stirring to life, our curiosity and excitement draws us close. It is something we want to see. In Japanese, “mozo” encapsulates this feeling. Hopefully, the name will give shoppers the premonition that cultural movements and new lifestyles are on the horizon. The name also has strong natural and environmental connotations – fitting, as the shopping center will play a role in the community to support environmentally friendly, safe and sustainable lifestyles. In this sense, we feel “mozo” is the perfect name. 3 Outline of mozo wondercity ・SC Name: mozo wondercity ・Location: 40, Futakata-cho, Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Aichi, 452-0817 ・Telephone: mozo wondercity Opening preparation office 052-505-1888 JUSCO wondercity Opening preparation office 052-563-8311 ・Website: http://mozo-wondercity.com ・Responsible Person: Shigeharu Kobayashi Chairman of Opening Committee, mozo wondercity Takashi Yamaji Chairman of Opening Committee, JUSCO wondercity ・Tenants: Core tenant: JUSCO Sub-core tenants: FLAXUS, VIVRE、Hello Akachan, Pet Square, PETCITY, Sports Authority, Futaba Tosho Tera Number of shops: about 220 ・Building Owner: Mitsubishi Corporation ・Facility Operator: AEONMALL Co., Ltd. ・Core Tenant: JUSCO (AEON Retail Co., Ltd.) ・Site Area: About 107,000 square meters (About 32,360 tsubo) ・Floor Space: About 244,000 square meters (About 73,810 tsubo) ・Shop Space: About 69,000 square meters (About 20,800 tsubo) ・Lease total area: About 85,000 square meters (About 25,700 tsubo) ・Building Structure: Shops: Steel construction, 6 stories above ground and 1 under ground Parking Tower: Steel construction, 6 stories above ground ・Parking Capacity: About 5,000 cars ・Cycle Parking Capacity: About 1,300 cycles (including roofed cycle parking for about 520 cycles) ・Design and Construction: Takenaka Corporation ・Basic Design: Tohata Architects & Engineers, inc. ・Environmental Design: D-Brain Institute ・Exterior Design Supervising: Klein Dytham Architecture ・Opening Hours: Shops 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. Restaurants 10 a.m. - 11 p.m. JUSCO 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. (Opening hours may differ at some shops) ・Closed Days: 7 days a week ・Number of Employees: SC overall: About 3,500 (including JUSCO: About 500) ・Basic Market: About 1,300,000 persons, about 550,000 households *The above area and spaces do not include those of the existing “wondercity” cinema building. 4 Features of mozo wondercity “Special Experience for Day-to-day Customers” A Shopping Center for Ordinary and Extraordinary Lifestyles ■ Overview of the mall The mall of mozo wondercity comprises about 220 shops and restaurants, making this one of the largest in Nagoya (62 the first in Nagoya).

  • Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: a Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching
    Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: A Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching Doctoral Thesis William Simpson IOE – UCL (Applied Linguistics) Word Count: 95,882 1 Signed Declaration: I, William Simpson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract: The aims of this research are threefold. Firstly, to understand how the drive for profit in commercial English language teaching (ELT) affects the manner in which language is taught. Secondly, to understand the how the various ways in which teachers are valued (monetarily in wages, valued as a ‘good’ teacher, and valued as an ‘authentic’ speaker of a language for example) interrelate with one another. Finally, the research aims to give an account of how teachers’ experiences of potential contradictions and tensions between commercial and pedagogic interests, and multiple forms of valuation, inform the way they understand themselves in relation to the economy and society more broadly. The research synthesises a body of research on political economy and language with Marxist political economy in order to understand commercial ELT through the moments of capital as value in motion: from the production and consumption of lessons, to the realisation of the lesson’s value in its sale, through to the distribution of this value in the form of wages. In focussing in on these moments throughout the circulation of capital, the research gives an account of the contradictory forces and interests at play within commercial eikaiwa – a form of ELT in Japan in which teachers are often precariously employed.
