Happy New Year

Better late than never—Happy New Year!

Right at the start of the new year, I was digging for treasure in an underground mine (*^^*). Those moments when I can forget everything and lose myself in something are the best way to detox my brain! I enjoyed the New Year to the fullest with a crystal mochi.

Well, well, starting today, I'll be turning on my computer and getting things going little by little.

This year, with the "B" in Beyond, Borderless, and Breakthrough as our theme,

Transcending all barriers and frameworks,

By collaborating with universities, research institutes, companies, local communities, government agencies, and every other type of organization and individual around the world,

I hope this will be a year in which we all work together to create an exciting future.

May the new year bring you all

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful year.

We look forward to your continued support this year.
