Tokyo University of the Arts COI Hub

I received a report on the COI Center’s initiatives from Professor Junji Ito of the Tokyo University of the Arts.

The “Association for Making Japan and the Earth More Interesting” section is a page I always enjoy seeing, featuring the usual faces from Tokyo University of the Arts and Yoshimoto, but for some reason, Mr. Watanabe from Dentsu is in there too…

Mr. Watanabe, who is also a member of KMD Polypro, has recently earned his doctorate. Congratulations!

And congratulations to all the KMD graduates!

It appears that both the president of Nagoya University and the president of Toyama Prefectural University used ChatGPT to compose their congratulatory remarks, so,

I also had ChatGPT create a KMD version.

Congratulations to all the graduates of the Graduate School of Media Design at Keio University!

Throughout my time as a student, I have overcome many challenges and difficulties, which has allowed me to grow as a person. And now, I have reached this major milestone: graduation.

From now on, I expect you will enter the workforce and take on a variety of jobs and projects. When you do, please draw on the knowledge and skills you cultivated during your time as a student, as well as the broader perspective and insights you gained through interactions with a diverse range of people, to create new value.

It’s also important to continue learning even after graduation. Technology and knowledge are advancing every day, so it’s essential to stay up to date with the latest information and trends. To that end, please set aside time and a budget for self-improvement, and never lose sight of the importance of lifelong learning.

Finally, I sincerely hope that the rest of your lives will be wonderful. May the future hold great things for all of you graduates. Congratulations!
