Actor Tamaki Hiroshi and model Hashimoto Reika, serving as image characters, attended the product launch of NEC’s new mobile phones, N-01A and N-02A. Hashimoto, who said she belonged to the faction who does not use emoticons when sending mail commented, “If you just type in sentences and send them out, it might make the other party angry and create misunderstanding so recently, I’ve been trying to use emoticons.” On the subject of to use emoticons or not, Tamaki said, “(Ladies who don’t use emoticons) feel a little cold perhaps.” And when a heart emoticon is used ? “Hopelessly happy, ne,” he said, without cracking the cool expression on his face.
