Ok, so is it 31 Mega Bytes per second or micro bits per second? The capitalization DOES matter…

The Impress article would seem to suggest that it’s 31MB (megabytes rather than microbits) per second.
Also, the 8,800 y mentioned here is incorrect – that price is actually for the 8GB low speed model.
The cost for the 8GB high speed model is 11,800y ($110) and the 16GB high speed is 22,800 y (around $210).
