Farewell Party for Mr. Uchida

A farewell party for Uchida from Yoshimoto & CANVAS. It happened last week.
The loving gifts selected by the CANVAS ladies included UCHINO pajamas, flowers, alcohol, and a message card.

Vice President Izumi kept saying three times to the person next to him that this was completely different from any of Yoshimoto's previous farewell parties!

I’m actually kind of intrigued by that “Yoshimoto-style” farewell party that isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy—lol
. I’m so glad Uchi-san was our point person when we joined forces with Yoshimoto! All of us at CANVAS truly feel that way 😊. Thank you, thank you.

So, we’re definitely not letting Mr. Uchida go!
Even if his new job doesn’t allow side jobs, volunteering is fine! It was a farewell party where we made a promise to stay connected forever.

I'm going to save Mr. Uchida's rambling closing remarks as a keepsake, too ^^
I wish you continued success in the future! And I look forward to your continued support!
