Honkidasu (I'll Do My Best) App for iPhone
     Think of this as that "Hang in there" cat poster people keep on their walls to motivate and empower them through out the week.  Honkidasu means "I'll Do My Best".  Or more of a direct translation "Get Serious".  It means it's time to stop messing around and get down to business!
     The launch screen is seen to the right.  Basically it says that this is the manual to getting serious.  Or the manual to trying your best.  Whichever translation you prefer.  When you tap it, you'll see a little comic page for the cat.  Sometimes it's one page.  Sometimes it's a few pages that link together.
     The cat comics are meant to be a source of entertainment and motivation.
     I will post some samples from the application below and give you the translations.  Remember that you can click on them to view them larger.  Also, I apologize if any of my translations are slightly off.
     The screen on the left says "The Tokyo skies... After you are finished doing your best."
   The screens below are a sequence.  It will go through the sequence on it's own, without any tapping.  However, if you have trouble reading Japanese, this can be a bit annoying since it's a bit fast. "As I thought of my inhibitions... I suddenly realized... Work hard"

      Here are some other phrases it has. "Even if you're hit 1000 times.  Do your best.", "When taking photos.  When you take it, do your best.", "When you win a sweepstakes, get serious." and "When you look back, at the end of the day, know you did your best."
     This is a cute free application.  The drawings are very entertaining and the messages are somewhat motivating.  However, this is only in Japanese.  So if you can't read Japanese, it isn't going to do you a lot of good.  it's almost the opposite of motivational.  It's saying "I would like to motivate you, but you can't even read what i'm saying to you".  So if you can read Japanese, a good application.  if you can't... not so much.  And of course as usual... an application on the US market that has not been translated is always unnecessarily lazy to me and will lose this application some points.  Especially since it's an application about working hard and doing your best.
