Default The S in Japan?

Hey guys, I came across this site which is all in Japanese...so its hard to navigate through. After some time I came across the S2000 and found these 3 clips. Though you might enjoy them.
In the second the hottie closes the trunk and I noticed some letters on the back of the trunk. ANYONE know what they say? Does the S2000 have a different name across sea's?

Thanks

Enjoy

Its the variable ratio steering option. Available everywhere but North America.

From Chaz ,

From Honda (so pardon the hype):

The VGS system varies the steering gear ratio continuously according to vehicle speed and steering angle to provide a heightened "joy of maneuvering." The adoption of this variable ratio system ensures ideal handling performance through a broad range of driving conditions. Agile and exhilarating performance is especially noticeable on winding roads, since the front end of the vehicle turns sharply in precise response to driver steering input. While cruising at high speeds on expressways, the VGS offers a smooth and progressive ratio setup without excessive sensitivity, providing the driver with the relaxed and reliable driving feel of conventional steering systems. Astonishingly, the lock-to- lock ratio* is almost halved to 1.4 turns for better maneuverability in the low speed ranges.
