Goichi Akachi

A Tablet Style for the Traveling Filmmaker

Goichi Akachi, known as a "traveling filmmaker," has filmed in over 60 countries using his unique method of solo shooting in a backpacker style. He walks through cities with a mind for location scouting, snapping photos of anything that catches his eye, and sometimes capturing video. For him, the Xperia™ Tablet Z's Full HD video recording, waterproof capabilities, and lightweight design are major draws. We asked him to imagine various scenarios where the Xperia™ Tablet Z would be useful, while reflecting on his memories of travels in Africa and Asia.

A Tablet Style for the Business Traveler

Mitsuaki Nakano, Communications Manager, recently orchestrated the successful renovation event at Barneys New York Shinjuku. He also thrives as an organizer for store opening events and club nights. For him, a tablet that allows instant access to schedules and photos is an indispensable business tool. Furthermore, its waterproof feature proves invaluable at parties, where it serves as a fun prop for taking and sharing photos with friends. We'll explore the many facets of the Xperia™ Tablet Z's appeal.
