I had a friend who is fluent in Japanese look at the original blog post. The blog post says that she got a HHKB as a gift from another famous woman named
Kazuyo Katsuma. Because she said she liked the board PFU sent her another one. Now she is entirely happy.
My friend also pointed out that Kazuyo Katsuma is economist column writer and therefore actually appreciates the HHKB as a great keyboard or got it from PFU as a gift in the first place and then dumped it on Hirose Kohmi randomly.
Either way.. funny stuff.
