Ehh.... I'll take Calpis Water any day over Pocari Sweat.  And the good news 
is that the oriental market right across the street from my apt building 
carries plenty of it  ^_^
Oft. times I'll stop by there before work to pick up my UCC coffee and the 
tasty calpis water.  Maybe some Pocky if I feel like it...(which other people 
usually come by and devour) and life is all good.
