The "iPhone + camera app = ∞" photography exhibition came to a successful conclusion. Thank you to all who attended and others who contributed to the event. This exhibition attracted crowds of visitors and proved to be a greater success than had been expected.

The stage made with RE:MO was introduced during Christmas 2008 at OO Hiroba in Marunouchi Oazo, a commercial building near Tokyo Station. The theme of this event was "1+1 = ∞," the theme adopted by SOZ. The first challenge for SOZ was making a model of the stage. The magical stage lighting - co-sponsored by Maxray - enhances the performers. For this event, a fantastic changing space was achieved with LED lighting in collaboration with Color Kinetics Japan Incorporated. This stage helped to showcase the new possibilities of RE:MO.
We have celebrated the first anniversary of the SOZ shop in Namba Parks. Once again, this summer while the sun was setting and it was getting cooler, the popular SOZ bar was open during 10 days in front of our shop. Last year, for the first edition, we had collaborated with a Belgian beer supplier. This year, following the success of the first edition, we did it again with a new theme but still connected with Osaka. In close collaboration with the wine bar "Luv Wine", which offers every week some wines from different countries, we have created a Resort theme park. The place, entirely created with Carpenter Block was emphasized by some beautiful lights; it was sufficiently sophisticated to discover the wine selection of Luv Wine. For from the usual noise of the cities, many customers came from every side of the city to discover a delicious glass of wine while discovering Soz's Blocks.

In March 2008, still aiming to develop the Osaka's culture, influence and embracement of other cultures, Soz has created the Soz Cafe during the Kaleidoscope art exhibition. On a terrace of a typical Osaka's building, Kanamori Yuko has made a mix between medias and work of art projection. It was also possible to discover some French drinks and to savour the Vietnamese food cooked by the chef of the Rive Gauche Restaurant. Mixed with Soz's idea, we offered to our client some original dishes in relation with the design. During the weekend, while the sun was setting, we created with our partner Maxray a pleasant lighting which was appreciated by our customers while they were playing with our blocks.
In February 2008, the Japan Operetta Society has used the Re:mo blocks for its setting. The light effects combined with Re:mo have fascinated the public. The japanese operette association respect the operette's traditions to surprise the public with its singing and dancing representations. It has also created its own style and is now trying to show it all around the world by organizing some exchanges.
At our first flagship store in NAMBA Parks, we have held a collaboration event, SOZ BAR for a limited 3 days on 28th~30th September 2007. We have designed and created a beer bar by Re:mo at Parks Garden in front of our shop to enjoy fantastic Belgian beer which provided from Dolphins. A lot of people stopped to feel special ambient at SOZ BAR to enjoy their time under amazing autumn night sky. They could possibly try to communicate with our products directly and indirectly because we have designed that people can enjoy mini when they drink a beer. The bar could stimulate people's creativity by 5 senses.
