From the next issue (Vol. 16 No. 3), we will send you our Journal by air mail or SAL (Surface Air Lifted), depending on the area, instead of by sea mail. It will be delivered within one to two weeks. Due to this change, you will be receiving our Journal much earlier than previously. Please take this opportunity to recommend your friends to join the Phonetic Society of Japan. (No admission fee is required until March 31, 2013.)
