[Media] Learning to Code

I’ve created a Facebook page for programming education, which I had the pleasure of announcing alongside Eric from Google.
Since the announcement, we’ve received many inquiries, and I can really feel the programming community gradually
expanding.
Please feel free to stop by every now and then!

I also had the opportunity to appear on two radio shows to talk about programming!
• Nikkei Radio

• ABC Radio

This article also features comments from Mr. Dobashi of CANVAS, who leads the programming project!
I wish they’d included a photo of Mr. Dobashi—he’s super cute! ♪

Well then, today was the last episode of “Tokudane!” for the year.
Mr. Ogura, Mr. Kasai, Mr. Kikukawa, Mr. Tanaka, and Dave,
all the reporters, and all the staff—
everyone was truly so warm and kind,
and they always helped me when I was flustered and unsure of what to do.
Thanks to them, I’ve somehow managed to keep going.
I’d also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who watched and encouraged me.
Thank you so much♪
I look forward to your continued support starting in January~.
