Virtual New Year’s Party

The Latest New Year's Party of All—A Digital New Year's Party.

The annual "Top 10 Digital News Stories" were also announced.

The No. 1 pick is “Osaka Expo: Packed with Digital Technology”!

That's right—2025 is the year of the Osaka World Expo. It really hits home now.

We were also joined by Hiroyuki Ito, president of Crypton Future Media, the creator of Hatsune Miku, and

They also discussed the collaboration between NoMaps—an urban tech event chaired by Mr. Ito—and Chomorrow.

And to wrap things up, we have the traditional “Big Bang” closing remarks by my mentor, Yoichiro Kawaguchi, Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo, who isn’t content with just Earth and is making his mark in space.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of digital news we can create this year.

See you next time at Chomorrow!
