Now, back to the topic...
Are you one of those who still use Internet Explorer? Do you use other browsers but still have IE installed?
Yes? Then this is for you.
So, there is some campaign to reduce CO2 emissions in Japan through a simple search internet. But to do this, you have to install the so called "ECO BAR" in you IE browser. The interesting point of this bar is that they have a AKB48 bar, with the face of some AKB members, like Sayaka and Sae.
In this post, we will show how to install the ECO BAR in your IE! :)
First of all, you must know this tool bar only works in Microsoft Windows 2000(SP4)/XP/Vista (32bit).
1. Go to this link: http://bokumori.jp/ecobar/dl01.html (download section of bokumori.jp.)
2. Already in the site, look for your favorite AKB48 member (SAYAKA or SAE) and click on the download button (marked in red in the picture).
3. You will be directed to the following page that shows you a preview of the tool bar. Click on the download button (marked in red in the picture).
4. You will be directed to the download site (a-tus.com). Your download should start automatically but depending on your security settings the automatic download might be canceled. If this is the case, just click on the link or right click and save as.
5. Depending on your preferences you can execute the .exe file immediately or save it in your computer.
After executing the file, you will see the install window. Since I don't have the Japanese region selected on my computer, I can't see the Japanese language in the install windows. If you can't, either, just click on the N button (marked in red in the picture).
6. You will be asked if you agree to the terms and conditions (1), mark the box and then click on the next button (2).
7. I don't know what the marked box says, but just keep it marked XD. Then press the F button (marked in red in the picture).
8. Your tool bar is installed. Run IE. Now you can See Sayaka or Sae! (the bar might take some seconds to load, don't panic).
Here, important parts of the bar:(1) Search bar. Evertime you do a search, you reduce 10g of CO2.
(2) It shows the CO2 you have reduced.
(3) It shows the CO2 everyone has reduced. The count is next to this button. The statics button shows you graphics.
(4) AKB48 RSS. Click on them and you will be redirected to the AKB48 Official Blog.
(5) Links to AKB48 Yumemoba (forget it, only for Japanese cellphones).
(6) Links to the AKB48 official shop.
(7) Links to http://bokumori.jp
9. If you click on Sayaka/Sae's face, a bigger profile bar will open up bellow the original bar. Next to the profile you will find links to AKB products (from official shop). Close the profile clicking on the X or clicking on the face again.
10. When you search a term, the bar uses it own search engine.
And that's all.
Come to think Sayaka was destroying the planet one year ago... XD
