Request for Question Clarification by vinods-ga on 23 Dec 2002 06:13 PST

Hello Gannon, 

In first place I found this: 
"The Chief Mourner will be Mr. Morita's eldest son, Hideo Morita,
President and CEO of Raykay Inc."
[ http://www.sony.com/SCA/press/991004.shtml ]

Well, this is a document dated October 3, 1999. It may well be that
the ownership may have changed, or Hideo Morita is also called 'Joe
Morita'!

I have most probably found the postal address of this company, but so
far I haven’t had any luck with the email address. If you are okay
with the postal address, I can post it here for you.

Warm regards
Vinods-ga

Hi Gannon, 

This answer is based on deduction from a number of sources on the
Internet. I must say I did have a good time, I felt like a detective
or something!

Firstly, the sources for the address came from here, in India! 

Raykay Inc.
1-5-6, Nihonbashi 
Kakigara-cho,
Chuo-ku
Tokyo 103-0014, Japan 

Source: [ http://pib.nic.in/archieve/lreleng/lyr2002/rjul2002/19072002/r190720022.html
]

Then, I found a pointer to the 'Joe = Hideo' equation. 
" Owned by Hideo "Joe" Morita, an avid skier and owner of Arai Ski
Resort in Japan, MINT gives Telski ..."
[ http://www.telluridekids.com/history.html ]

This gave me another lead - he owns a ski resort. This could be a
source for what you want. Maybe, you could contact them for the email
address.

Phone (0255)72-3600  
Fax  (0255)72-3700  

The Arai ski resort homepage is unfortunately for us, in Japanese.
There looked like what is a phone number on this page though :

I then searched the following but eno cigarf !


Japan : Global Corporate Information Service
Lists 2,560 Japanese publicly traded companies. Sometimes this is just
the name, a paragraph on activities and the stock code, but for nearly
300 companies has link to web site and for about 125 has annual
report. English language.

Japan : Nihongo Yellow Pages

Japan : Town page

Telegraph and Telephone Corporation). NTT also operate a directory and
search engine

Well, thatfs about it for now. I am sorry, but I think the address is
all that I have as of now. I do hope it helps you. I have sent off
some emails though,  and hope some info will pop up.

Warm regards

Very thorough

you could just take a shot at guessing the email. for example all at
morita group have emails that read: name@moritagrp.com. One board
members uses his first name then the @moritagrp.com. If I were you I
would try several combos, starting with hideo@moritagrp.com, or
moritah@moritagrp.com

you get the picture.
cheers

Many thanks Vinod and this is great for me to follow up. Nice work 

Gannon

Hello Gannon, 

Thanks for your kind comment. I am sorry I just could not find you the
email address. I did mail Moritagroup for the information, but no
reply till date. I scoured their site which showcases many companies
but not Raykay.

Warm regards and a Happy New Year!
Vinods-ga

and the same to you Vinod.
