T. Ishimura, Y. Yatsu, T. Shimokawabe, N. Vasquez, and N. Kawai 
(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the error box of GRB070129 (Godet et al., GCN 6053)
with the 3-color 50cm MITSuME Telescope at Akeno, Japan 
starting at 9:44:12 UT, 10.1 hours after the trigger.    
In the co-added images of Ic, Rc, and g' bands, we did not detect
the afterglow .  The 3-sigma limiting magnitudes based on USNO-B1.0
(I-band) and NOMAD (R-band,g'-band) stars are following.
