 evian SPA TOKYO®, the Alpine-inspired spa at Palace Hotel Tokyo, has been awarded a prestigious Five-Star rating by Forbes Travel Guide, the global travel industry’s most highly respected authority on excellence in hospitality.

With a Five-Star rating for both its hotel and spa, Palace Hotel Tokyo has now become the very first Japanese-brand hotel to achieve such an enviable distinction. The hotel has held a Five-Star rating for nine consecutive years and was recently described as a “legendary property” that exudes “consummate poise” and “polish” by Condé Nast Traveler magazine.

Designed “to help discerning travelers select the world’s best experiences,” Forbes Travel Guide’s illustrious Star Rating system is based on anonymous inspections by experienced professionals who conduct evaluations “based on hundreds of exacting standards.” Its Five-Star rating – the highest designation possible – is reserved for truly exceptional hotels, spas, restaurants and ocean cruise ships that “deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service.”

Situated on the fifth floor of Palace Hotel Tokyo, the spa occupies 1,200 square meters of space and features views of the picturesque Imperial Palace gardens just opposite. As the only evian® branded spa in the country and one of only three outside of France, it presents one of Japan’s most refined wellness experiences.

Beautifully complemented by its natural setting, the spa’s minimalist aesthetic is at once remarkably zen and very Japanese. Though an Alpine-inspired concept guides the wellness experience, face and body treatments incorporating Japanese botanical beauty brand warew and Asian massage techniques are also on offer to complement the French sensibilities. The spa also features specific treatments tailored to men, expectant mothers and brides-to-be.

Compact G-SHOCK in Vibrant Monochromatic Color Schemes

 Casio released the new G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches, the three new compact GMA-P2100 timepieces bring vibrant monochromatic colors to the 2100 line, popular for its iconic octagonal bezel.

Casio has in recent years been downsizing popular G-SHOCK watches to build a more extensive lineup of compact all-gender models.

The new GMA-P2100 watches feature the octagonal bezel and minimalist face design for which the 2100 line is known, but in vibrant colors and a smaller sized shock-resistant profile that is easy to wear.

The case of the new watches is 2.7 mm narrower, making it 94% the size of conventional GMA- S2100 models. The band length has also been shortened by some 10 mm to make it easier for those with smaller wrists to wear. The watches come in vibrant turquoise blue, bright pink, and white monochrome color schemes. Light and dark shades of the same color are used for different components, including the dial, index marks, and hands, to give the streamlined face a look that both has depth and dimension and is easy to read. The bezel and band are made with bio-based resin, a material expected to help reduce environmental impact.

Casio will continue to enhance its lineup of gender-neutral G-SHOCK timepieces, ensuring easy wearability for the ever-diversifying G-SHOCK fan base.

Accuracy and speed are a must, but international communication can create misunderstanding, swirl and delays. Galaxy S24 helps professionals collaborate more effectively whether they’re at the office, working from home or somewhere in between.

Real-time, two-way translation on conference calls: You’re setting up a conference call with a potential business partner in an overseas company. You want it to go as smoothly as possible, but you’re concerned about the language barriers.

Galaxy S24’s Live Translate translates phone conversations in real time, ensuring you’ll be as clear, creative and professional with overseas colleagues or clients as you’d be in your own language. Offered in 17 languages including variations, Live Translate provides two-way translation on both devices, even if one party isn’t using a Galaxy — or even a smartphone.

 

Translated and tailored tone for professional emails or texts: It’s your first day in a new job, and you want to make a good impression in your first email to your colleagues.

With Galaxy S24’s Chat Assist, you’re offered different AI-generated options on how to restructure your message and writing style, so you get the tone just right. Whether it’s drafting a catchy social media post or a formal email to your boss, this feature is accessible right from the Samsung Keyboard, so you can use it on any application and make sure you hit the appropriate note every time. And if you’re working with a colleague overseas, Chat Assist’s availability in 17 languages including variations allows you to do all this in a language you don’t even speak.

 

Converse face-to-face without language barriers: As a small business owner attending an expo on emerging market trends, you spot a renowned expert in your niche from a popular YouTube business page. You want to pick her brain, but you know from the show that she speaks Italian, and you don’t.

Interpreter takes live translation out of the call app and into the physical world. With this feature, Galaxy S24 becomes a real-time, in-person translator. Because the tool splits the phone screen into two horizontally, each person can show instantly translated text to the other, along with accompanying audio. It also lets you select the language you need and communicate smoothly and professionally with anyone around you.

 

Organize Your Phone and Your Thoughts

Although our phones provide a handy way to capture ideas, research projects and arrange meetings, organizing all that on a handheld device can be a challenge. Using responsive Galaxy AI capabilities, however, Galaxy S24 intelligently organizes your phone, so you stay focused on the big picture.

Keep your documents and plans organized: Deep into a work project, you realize the relevant resources you need are scattered everywhere: long emails, detailed articles, PDFs and more. If you could pull everything together into one cohesive format, it would save you hours of laborious notetaking and file conversion.

Thanks to the Note Assist feature, you can generate, read and save abridged versions of all your materials in a few taps of your finger, transforming the daily churn of documents into a well-structured archive. By pulling up a document, Note Assist prompts you to save its content straight to your Samsung Notes app. Once there, the feature can auto format the text and correct spelling mistakes before creating a simple or detailed bullet point summary of the whole document above the main text so you can see all the key points at a glance whenever you need to.

 

The feature can also extract and summarize text straight from physical books and papers and can translate notes into other languages, while its Browsing Assist capabilities can turn long, detailed articles into succinct summaries.

Accurately document everything: It’s a classic dilemma: You’re in an important work meeting, and you need to take detailed notes while at the same time staying focused and making contributions. With Galaxy S24, you can have it both ways.

Transcript Assist creates full, accurate records of meetings and conversations. Simply record the meeting using the native Samsung voice recording app, and afterwards Transcript Assist will offer to convert it to text, with sentences separated according to individual speakers. Once you’ve got your transcript, you can share it with your colleagues as is, or send it to Samsung Notes and add an AI-generated bullet summary to it using Note Assist.

 

If you have pre-existing audio files recorded without Transcript Assist, the feature can convert these files to notes using Text to Audio.

When it comes to work, the power of having AI on our mobile devices goes beyond automating mundane tasks. Galaxy S24 illustrates how technology can dramatically improve how we work, think and create — by being indispensable, mobile and close at hand.

The organizing team has strategically curated a blend of local and international DJs for collaborative performances, aiming to elevate Malaysia's DJ talents to global prominence.

The three-day extravaganza drew an impressive total attendance of nearly 35,161, surpassing the organizers' expectations by 6,000.

Travel Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter, Thanks to Samsung Galaxy S24

 Traveling is often filled with unexpected challenges and complexities, but it just got easier. Samsung Galaxy S24 series, powered by Galaxy AI, is a personal travel guide in your pocket making the experience smoother and more accessible than ever.

Considering a weekend in Paris? Thanks to the 2024 Summer Olympics, that will be even more popular this year, making it a more challenging destination. Here are all the ways in which Galaxy AI can ease the journey at step, from planning and communicating better to discovering cultures and creating great memories.

THREE MONTHS OUT: You build an (intelligent) three-day itinerary.

AI can help eliminate travel indecision and answer the question, Where should I go?

As you scroll through social media, for example, a photo highlighting an exhibition at Paris’ Musée d’Orsay grabs your attention. Rather than switching apps to learn more, you use Galaxy S24’s Circle to Search with Google feature, which lets you act on inspiration the moment it strikes.

You press and hold the Home button to activate the feature. The new experience, which brings Google’s latest AI capabilities to Galaxy users, allows you to search what’s displayed on your screen, including images, videos or text.  With your finger or Samsung S Pen, you can simply draw a circle around what you’re curious about — in this case, a social media post — and Circle to Search with Google quickly pulls up relevant information, such as details about the exhibition.

For certain searches, this feature also allows you to get AI-powered overviews so you can more easily understand concepts, ideas or topics from helpful information pulled together from across the web. In this way, well ahead of your travels, AI adds a new dimension of preparation, helping you follow your curiosity with confidence.

 

On Galaxy S24, Circle to Search with Google lets you follow your inspirations directly and intuitively.

DAY ONE: You make connections across language barriers, thanks to your personal pocket translator.

Settling into your hostel, you’re keen to meet people and get all the hot tips on where to eat and what to see. But while travel is an exciting experience, it can be overwhelming if you don’t speak the language. In the hostel’s lounge area, you use Galaxy S24’s Interpreter feature to sidestep the language differences and converse with your fellow travellers in real time and in person, asking them for site-seeing recommendations with a local spin. On one side of the screen is the translated audio text of the person you’re speaking to, and on the other side is your part of the conversation translated for them.

Having made plans to meet up with your new companions later for dinner by the Seine, you use Chat Translation feature to stay in touch throughout the day and time your rendezvous perfectly. By combining Chat Translation with Chat Assist’s Writing Style tool, you can automatically adjust your messages to make sure you’re using a friendly tone instead of an unintentionally stilted, formal one.

Thanks to mobile AI, you can make travel a more social experience, forging meaningful connections across language barriers in the moment – voilà!

 

Say au revoir to language barriers. Interpreter's live translation makes it easy to talk to someone in another language.

DAY TWO: You explore the local food and culture, powered by your own digital travel agent.

Even the best planned vacations encounter hiccups, but with mobile AI, you’re prepared.

If you realize you booked your exhibition tickets at the Musée d’Orsay for the wrong day, for example, you can call to the ticket office with the peace of mind of knowing you don’t need to speak French.

Supported in 17 languages including variations at launch , Live Translate takes the stress out of problem-solving in a different language. Galaxy S24 is Samsung’s first phone to offer real-time, two-way call translation within its native call app. When you phone the museum, the call app offers you an option to launch Live Translate, which provides both text and audio translations instantly.

The feature also works for the person on the other end of the line, regardless of whether they’re using a Galaxy device, allowing you to rebook your ticket as easily as you would at home and head out for a day full of art and culture.

DAY THREE: As your trip comes to a close, your AI-powered phone helps you fine-tune your holiday pics.

Before long, you’re having one last pain au chocolat in a boulangerie at Charles de Gaulle Airport, reflecting on your all-too-brief weekend in the City of Lights.

You want to send your hostel friends a group photo of you all in front of the Eiffel Tower, but the well-meaning passerby who took it got the composition slightly wrong. The Eiffel Tower is tilting at an angle, and your group is off to the right instead of in the centre. With Generative Edit, you can go beyond the boundaries of photography and correct these issues in a couple of taps.

When you rotate the image to straighten up France’s most iconic structure, Generative Edit fills in the newly created blanks in the corners using intelligent outpainting technology to extend what’s already there, with no cropping required. As for you and your friends, simply select them with your finger, move them to the centre and let Generative Edit’s inpainting capabilities fill in the blank space.

With Galaxy S24 at your side, mobile AI will change more than the logistics of travel. It will also change the traveller in profound ways, encouraging a sense of discovery, emboldening more meaningful interaction with locals and making the world feel grander, but at the same time, more accessible than ever.
