Change tomorrow

Undeterred by COVID-19, we’re working on a new project.
Change tomorrow—or “Chomoro” for short.
Cities, comedy, learning, music, sports, pop culture, food…
What kind of exciting future can we create by combining these elements with technology?
We’ll be hosting events that connect multiple locations both in Japan and abroad.
July 4–5, 2020, at Takeshiba, Tokyo.
Be sure to clear your schedules for this—!!!
