Happy New Year.

Better late than never—Happy New Year!
I turned on my computer today,
but my day has already been filled with “Tokudane!” → Senso-ji Temple → a New Year’s party… And
tonight, the mochi I made in bulk at the end of last year is set to make another appearance at the dinner table, so I just can’t seem to shake off the New Year’s mood.
As I watch the magnificent leaps of the monkey—symbolizing the “monkey off the back”—I sincerely pray that
this year will be one of even greater progress for all of you.

Well, well—the Nikkei Shimbun featured PEG’s initiatives in its New Year’s Day special edition!
Also, at the end of last year, a senior from my college days interviewed me, and the article was published in the magazine “Kangaeru Hito.” It was great to see him again after so long, and the interview was both enjoyable and heartwarming. I’ll be getting things started
little by little starting today.

We look forward to your continued support in 2016!
