Sorry&#8221;, is a blog dedicated for the same coca cola vending machine in Sapporo, Hokkaido with over 5 years&#8217; successful story.<br \/>\nThe blog started <a href=\"http:\/\/jihan.sblo.jp\/article\/551371.html\">on August 5th, 2005<\/a>. The blogger Ryuichi Ikeda has been taking a coca cola vending machine about 20 days every month, which seems his working day. Now the number of photos (and the blog posts) are about 1,300, in over 5 years.<br \/>\nOn recent entries, you see the photos of the same date in past years. He records all canned and bottled beverages name, quantity and price after photo.<br \/>\nMost of the posts are titled &#8220;Henka Nashi&#8221;(nothing changed). When any changes happen, he writes how the placement and the sold drink are modified on the day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/vendor-machine-changes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/vendor-machine-changes.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"vendor-machine-changes\" width=\"460\" height=\"591\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12180\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSometimes the blog readers will mail him on unrecorded changes he had overlooked. He also records which cans are changed from hot to cold, cold to hot as seasons change.<br \/>\nThe biggest change on this unchanged blog was on 2009-08-07 to 2009-08-08. The original machine,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/j090807.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/j090807.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"j090807\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12182\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n was replaced with the new one,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/j090808.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/j090808.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"j090808\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12183\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAccording to Ikeda, The new machine supports Edy, one of the most popular e-money available on IC card and cellphone.<br \/>\nOn the profile, he states that his least favorite byword is &#8220;Endurance makes you stronger&#8221;. The favorite vendor machine is &#8220;if I have it, I must be a freak&#8221;.<br \/>\nHe began this blog because &#8220;I dislike troublesome tasks and wanted to find easy contents you can update within 5 minutes. I feel angry when there are changes on the vendor machine as it makes me write more&#8221;. He also confessed on the 3rd anniversary of the blog that he got this idea on the first death anniversary of his younger sister, who loved foolish and nonsense things.<br \/>\nFor the case you want to see higher resolution photos of them, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/motomachi24\/sets\/72157617146435421\/\">he uploads them on Flickr<\/a>, too.<br \/>\nThere is <a href=\"http:\/\/gadd9.com\/nekota\/18\/\">a fan-made tetris-like game<\/a> featuring the vendor machine photos from the blog,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gadd9.com\/nekota\/18\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/vendor-machine-blog-flash-game.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"vendor-machine-blog-flash-game\" width=\"500\" height=\"604\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12179\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>See Also:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/03\/japans-first-banana-vending-machine-debuts-in-shibuya\/\">Japan\u2019s First Banana Vending Machine Debuts In Shibuya<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/11\/vending-machines-get-more-intelligent-they-recommend-you-what-to-drink\/\">Vending Machines Get More Intelligent, They Recommend You What To Drink<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Japanese blog &#8220;Watashi ha Mainichi (no you ni) Jidou Hanbaiki no Shashin wo Totte imasu.
