It's getting warmer day by day, and the flowers and fresh greenery on the roadside signal the arrival of spring.
This weekend, on April 20th, we celebrate our Anniversary of our founding. It started in 2001 and is now in its 24th year.
Before I knew it, I was really grateful and happy that I had walked with you through so many seasons.
The reason why we have been able to continue so far is thanks to everyone who has supported us on a daily basis.
No matter how much the times change, I feel every day that our origin lies in the connection between people.
April is the season of new starts. Many of you may have had changes in your living environment, such as entering the school, joining the company, or transferring. Stepping into a new environment can be nerve-wracking, but it's also a time when you can meet a lot of fresh people and discover new things.
It's been almost three weeks since the start of the new school year. I think it was around the time when I was gradually getting into a rhythm and had a little more room.
And before you know it, Golden Week is almost here.
Just thinking about how I'm going to spend this year is exciting.
Whether you're planning to go out or spend some time relaxing at home, we hope it will be a refreshing time for you.
For us, the anniversary of our founding is like "another New Year."
It is an important milestone day to look back on the progress we have made so far and think about the future.
I will not forget my starting point, but I will not be afraid of change, and I will continue to move forward step by step, carefully, and in a straight line.
Spring of the 24th year. We will continue to strive to be a familiar and reliable presence for everyone, so we look forward to your continued support!
