Fundamental Structure of Conventional Security

Conventional security was designed to protect "fixed correct answers (PIN, ID, etc.)". For example

ID

Passwords

Fixed tokens

Fixed session

for example, ● ID ● Password ● Fixed token ● Fixed session. In this structure,

Leakage

Reuse

Cross-deployment

AI attack

This structure facilitates ● Leakage ● Reuse ● Cross-deployment ● AI attack In other words, it is a structure in which attacks "pile up.

Change of conception of the theory of multiple time-varying formation points with infinite number of keys

This theory has shifted the target of protection from secret information to the state of formation. Specifically,

Formation is an instantaneous exception

The space is randomly generated each time.

After the formation, the space disappears.

The structure of this theory is as follows.

The structure is as follows. In other words, it is not to protect the correct answer, but to control the formation itself.

Unified control of entrance, relay, and exit

In this theory

1. entrance (login) 2. relay (operation)

Relay (operation)

3. exit (termination)

3. exit (exit) are controlled by the same theory. Conventional security is,

Only the entrance is reinforced.

However, actual attacks are not as severe as those in the past. However, actual attacks are

lateral expansion

Internal manipulation

Authorization abuse

Internal manipulation ● Authorization abuse This theory controls entrance, relay, and exit at the point of establishment.

No need to memorize passwords or IDs

In this theory, there is no need to memorize

ID

Passwords

PIN

is not assumed. Instead,

Natural human reactions

Rhythm of operation

Environmental information

Terminal information

Time of day

The system automatically determines the conditions of operation by combining the following information. In other words, the design does not assume secrets to be memorized by humans.

Multiple login structure for a single login

Conventional → 1 login = 1 session

This theory → Within a single login, the following conditions are used

Browsing is established

Remittance completed

Downloading established

Downloading is completed

There are multiple approval points such as ● Browsing approval ● Remittance approval ● Download approval ● Privileged operation approval In addition, each of them is controlled by a different encryption key.

Infinite-key multiple time-varying structure

The name of this theory comes from

Infinite-key

Multiple

Time-varying

Time-varying

The features of this theory are Features,

No key is fixed.

Drawing every time

The key changes every hour.

Expires after the lottery is completed

The structure is as follows. This allows for the following

Edge AI Array", an on-premise AI platform optimized for virtual humans

In recent years, the use of generative AI has been rapidly expanding in all industries. On the other hand, the following three major issues have been pointed out in the operation of cloud-based generative AI

Security risk in handling personal and confidential information

Response delays due to the Internet

Increased operational costs due to pay-as-you-go billing

Edge AI Array" (trademark registration pending), announced on March 11, 2026, is an on-premise environment generative AI platform developed by leveraging the advanced technology of our original product, Remote PC Array, a remote access infrastructure. It provides a new mechanism for low-cost, safe, and efficient use and operation of generative AI, and solves the three main issues in AI operation described above.

In particular, a key feature of the platform is that it provides a safe environment for operating AI, keeping personal information and confidential information shielded from external systems amid the rapid expansion of AI use.

Moreover, by running virtual humans on the "Edge AI Array," it is expected to be used in a wide range of services that handle personal information in place of humans, such as primary sales response, consulting, support, and various receptionist services in a variety of industries, both in the municipal and private sectors. We believe that this will be an innovative solution to Japan's growing social problem of a shrinking workforce.

The Edge AI Array can be equipped with up to five NVIDIA GPUs for AI in a 2U chassis. This makes it possible to integrate the LLM/RAG system, which is the brain of AI, and multiple front-end processing systems, which are the bodies of AI, in a single chassis, making it an optimal platform for virtual humans.

In addition, the company will also participate in "AI Frontline," an exhibition and hands-on experience-type event held by SB C&S Corporation (a SoftBank group company) from March 12, 2026, which brings together the latest AI (artificial intelligence) solutions (URL: https://seminar. jp/cas-ai-frontline/?id=P0036 ).

At AI Frontline, we will demonstrate virtual humans running on the "Edge AI Array" to show the potential of on-premise AI.

This study reveals the importance of sleep for healthy and productive teleworking and that "light environment" is a critical factor in the changes in sleep.

Effects of Telework on Sleep

■ Background of the study: How does telework affect sleep, mental health, and productivity?

Telework (remote work), which spread rapidly in the wake of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), is still firmly established in many workplaces today. While increasing flexibility in work styles, such as reducing commuting time, health risks such as "disruption of rhythm" and "blurring of on/off boundaries" were also pointed out. However, until now there have been few large-scale longitudinal studies that have clarified how telework affects workers' sleep, mental health, and productivity, while tracking individual changes.

■Study Summary: Analysis of Changes Before and After the Start of Telework

This study included 23 companies and a total of 3,123 users of the Children's Mirai stress check "STRESCOPE" who had agreed to use their data for academic purposes and who were not teleworking in 2019 and who introduced telework in 2020. 2019 (pre-Corona) and 2020 Data were collected at two time points in 2019 (Corona disaster). Changes in sleep quality, sleep schedule, sleep hygiene (light environment), stress response, and presenteeism (state of reduced productivity due to physical and mental illness despite being at work) were analyzed before and after the start of telework.

Main findings: Positive/negative aspects of telework and the importance of the light environment.

[It became clear that the "positive" and "negative" aspects of teleworking have conflicting effects on sleep.

● Teleworkers who began teleworking extended their weekday sleep time by an average of about 13 minutes, mainly due to reduced commuting time. An increase in sleep time leads to improved sleep.

On the other hand, a regression of sleep rhythm (internal body clock) was also observed, as the average wake-up time became about 19 minutes later. Disturbances in sleep rhythm worsen sleep.

The results showed that telework as a whole neither improved nor worsened sleep, because these two opposing effects canceled each other out.

Sleep problems significantly contribute to both stress reactions and presenteeism, indicating that sleep management is the key to workplace health in telework.

The importance of sleep hygiene (light environment)

Comparing teleworker initiators by environment for "morning light environment" and "display use before bedtime," we found that there were significant differences.

Those in a bright bedroom environment with daylight in the morning improved both their stress response and work productivity following telework initiation. Conversely, the group in the environment with inadequate morning light showed a regression in sleep rhythm and associated worsening of sleep and presenteeism.

Similarly, both sleep quality scores and stress response scores improved in the group that did not use a smartphone, PC, or other display before bedtime.

Differences in Effects of Sleep Hygiene Practices (Light Environment) Among Teleworkers Who Started Teleworking

■ Research shows that the key points of healthy teleworking practices

1. make sure you get enough sleep

Avoid night owl and prevent sleep rhythm regression. 3.

● 3. get plenty of morning light (sunlight) (to reset the body clock) ● 4.

4. refrain from using smartphones, PCs, and tablets before going to bed at night.

We often do not have much exposure to sunlight at home. There is an idiomatic expression that "strong morning light resets the body's internal clock," but in technical terms it is called a "Zeitgeber" (time-setting signal). While many office workers may be able to adjust their internal clocks by going outdoors to receive sunlight during their commute, when commuting is eliminated due to teleworking, they lose the opportunity to receive morning sunlight, which can easily disrupt their internal clocks and sleep rhythms.

In addition, if people stay at home and work on their PCs until late at night, the light from the display will enter their eyes even late at night, giving the body the illusion that it is not yet night, which can similarly disrupt the body's internal clock.

The "secret to successful teleworking," as indicated by this study, is to provide a strong light environment in the morning, avoid exposure to PC and smartphone light late at night, and use the time saved from commuting to work to get a good night's sleep. And improved sleep is directly linked to reduced stress reactions and increased productivity.

■Background: Long COVID and ME/CFS as a Global Medical Challenge

Long COVID (post-coronary syndrome) is characterized by a wide variety of symptoms that persist for months to years after SARS-CoV-2 infection and affects about 36% of infected people (estimated at over 100 million worldwide). The economic cost of the disease is reported to be as high as $1 trillion per year, making it one of the most important issues in modern medicine.

PEM is one of the most common disorders in the world, and is a common cause of death and disability. PEM is exacerbated by even the slightest physical or mental strain, making general rehabilitation with exercise therapy difficult in many cases, and effective treatment options remain limited.

Research Summary: All symptoms disappear with low-impact intervention, "Laxative Method

A research group from the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima University, and the Japan Health Organization conducted a study in which a 41-year-old female patient (a health care professional) who met the diagnostic criteria for Long COVID and ME/CFS used the "Kanshoho" muscle relaxation technique with low pressure stimulation as the main intervention. The Kanshoho technique is a muscle relaxation technique using low-pressure stimulation.

Kanshoho is a non-invasive muscle relaxation technique (developed in 2007) originated in Japan that applies an extremely low load of approximately 5N (about one finger) locally with a single finger. A total of 10 sessions of 15 min/session were performed (about 2.5 months), focusing on the posterior neck area.

Changes before and after treatment

■Points of Interest: Why is this study important?

●For the first time, Long COVID/ME/CFS demonstrated the clinical significance of a low-load (approximately 5N) technique that allows intervention without physical strain in patients with PEM complications who have few treatment options.

Local (posterior neck) intervention improved systemic symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, numbness, and insomnia, which may lead to a better understanding of the autonomic nervous system, cervical lymphatic drainage, and other neural mechanisms.

The patient did not experience any exacerbation of symptoms after gradual reduction or discontinuation of drug therapy (sertraline), and remained in remission at 6-month follow-up, and was able to reintegrate into society (changed jobs, moved to a new location).

Limitations of the Study and Future Prospects

This report is based on a single case and does not establish a causal relationship between treatment effects. Involvement of spontaneous remission, placebo effect, or treatment relationship cannot be excluded, and objective physiological evaluations (e.g., cardiopulmonary exercise testing) were not performed. The research group stated that further validation through prospective clinical trials with a control group is needed.

～The theme for this season is "COLLECTOR," which is full of the joy of collecting.

This season, the fifth season of the collection, designer Takabayashi has created a world of "COLLECTOR," a collection of "likes" that make you want to collect them. The most notable new item is a minimalistic and artistic series with a pattern on the "inside only," which tells a story every time the bag is opened. This new series brings new colors to the daily lives of adult women who value the temperature of a single stroke, something that cannot be found in mass-produced products.

sampo 26SS Collection(1)

■2026SS Theme: "COLLECTOR

This season, we have created three patterns based on the theme of "collectors" who tend to collect their favorite things.

Fruits Hunter

This pattern depicts a lot of fruits and a lemur, Cockle Sifaka, who wants to keep his favorite food all to himself. The lemur's eyes are shining and entranced, and the colorful fruits are a key point.

Rosette Decoration

Sticker MANIA

Whenever I travel and wherever I go, I come across a lot of stickers that I just can't resist collecting. Without being bound by genres or rules, they are fulfilled by simply putting up what they like. This sticker board represents "myself.

■New item to look out for: "Art that only you know and dwells inside".

This season's new series is a series that dares to keep the outside of the bag simple, and boldly arranges the designer's designs only on the "inside" of the bag.

Concept.

At first glance, the design is minimalistic, but the moment you open the bag, the vivid world of "COLLECTOR" jumps out at you. It is not a fashion item to be shown off to others, but a "personal art" to enhance the owner's own mood.

On the other hand, the shortage of skilled engineers who are responsible for leveling equipment (leveling) and the labor shortage in the manufacturing industry have become issues.

Leveling DX" that does not depend on skilled work

LevelMan, a digital precision level developed by Any Design, is a system that enables real-time sharing of measurement results from multiple locations through unique wireless communication and dedicated applications.

It enables simultaneous measurement of inclination at up to 10 points (actual results) and allows multiple operators to perform adjustment work while checking the same data.

This streamlines leveling work, which previously relied on the experience of skilled technicians, eliminating the need for individualized work and improving the speed of decision-making.

■8 Years of Technology Development through Industry-Academia Collaboration

Since 2016, the company has been collaborating with the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute (TIRI) to conduct R&D on measurement and adjustment technologies.

As a result, the following products have been developed and commercialized.

LevelMan digital precision level

CalibMan, the world's first* fully automatic level calibration device

（CalibMan, the world's first* fully-automated level calibration device (automates level calibration)

Japan's first* fully automatic level adjustment system, AdjustMan

（Japan's first* fully automatic leveling system "AdjustMan" (automates equipment leveling)

　*According to our own research (as of March 2026)

These technologies contribute to more efficient installation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment and stabilization of quality.

■Technologies developed in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake

In the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, production facilities at many plants were moved or deformed, and the installation level (horizontal accuracy) of equipment was greatly disturbed.

Restoring the equipment to its original state required skilled workers with precision leveling equipment and advanced measuring techniques, which became a major challenge in the restoration process.

Against this backdrop, Any Design Inc. was founded in 2011 with the idea that "an environment in which anyone can accurately level equipment, which is the foundation of manufacturing, is needed.

Since then, the company has been developing technologies to realize data sharing and automation of leveling work, centering on the digital precision level "LevelMan.

Any Design's Future Development

Any Design aims to realize an environment in which anyone can work with a certain level of accuracy through "Leveling DX," which combines measurement data visualization and automation technology.

In the future, Any Design will continue to develop further technology to contribute to productivity improvement and labor saving in the field of installation and maintenance of machine tools and industrial machinery.

Cyber-attacks against companies and local governments are becoming more sophisticated and sophisticated every year. Behind this is the structure of repeated trial and learn attacks.

Theory of Multiple Time-Variant Formation Points with Infinite Number of Keys

The design is such that the answer to the question is determined only when the user logs in to the system.

Problems with conventional security

Many security,

IDs

Passwords

PINs

Many security systems are based on "fixed correct answers" that people memorize and enter. However, there are major problems with this method.

Problem (1): Once leaked, it can be used any number of times.

Problem (2): Attackers can try as many times as they want.

Problem (3): AI can learn how to attack.

In other words, the structure of the attack is "the more times the attacker tries, the better".

Major differences of this theory

In the infinite-key multiple-time-variable point theory, "fixed correct answers (PINs or IDs)" are not used. Instead, it uses the following structure.

Feature (1) No need to remember PINs or IDs

Conventionally

Input ID

Input password

OTP input

etc., which required a person to remember and input the PIN.

In this theory,

Natural human response

Terminal status

Time of day

Time ● Environmental information

The theory automatically determines the conditions for the PIN by combining the following factors: ● Natural human reaction ● Terminal status In other words, there is no need for a person to remember his/her PIN.

Feature (2) Multiple logins exist in a single login.

A normal login is "one login = one session. However, in this theory, in a login

Entrance

Relay

Exit

Each of them has a different condition for establishment. For example

Login is established

Browsing successful

Transfer approved

Download successful

For example, a single login can have multiple success points, such as ● Login success ● Browsing success ● Remittance success ● Download success

Feature (3) Multiple encryption keys are used in the lottery

Conventional

One password

One key

This theory

Multiple keys

Random each time

● Changes every hour

In other words, it is a "lottery structure" where the key changes every time. Therefore

Guess

Bingo

Reuse

Reuse is difficult to achieve.

Feature (4) Attacks do not pile up

Conventional

Attacker

→ Failed

→ Try again

→ Try again

→ Keep trying until success

this theory

Aggressor

→ Fail

→ Intercept

→ Strengthen conditions

→ Space annihilation

In other words, the longer the attacker continues to attack, the more disadvantageous the structure becomes.

Summary of the characteristics of this theory

Comparison with 73 types of attacks

In this video,

Phishing

AI voice spoofing

Deep Fakes

Password brute force

Session hijacking

API key compromise

Ransomware

Ransomware ● Internal fraud

Server intrusion

AI attacks

The comparison is based on 73 different attack models, including As a result, many attacks are blocked before they can be established.

Effects in Figures (Design Model)

In the theoretical model,

Prevention rate: 99% or more

Damage probability: 0.3% or less

Improvement factor: hundreds of millions to hundreds of billions of times

The theoretical model shows the following design indexes. However, these are theoretical model values, not empirical values.

Design Model

The most important point of this theory

Ordinary security is a structure that "protects the correct answer. This theory, however, is a structure that "allows for the establishment of a momentary exception. In other words, the object to be protected is not the secret, but the "state of being valid.

In a word

The theory of infinite-key multiple time-varying fixed points is a theory that changes the concept of security from security that protects a fixed correct answer to security that only allows a momentary exception to be made.

Relationship with Point Organization: Sole agent for A-GEL gift points & A-GEL gift cards

(Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Takeuchi; hereafter, "Point Organization"), which operates the point redemption system "A-GEL Gift Point," and K-Trust Co. (headquartered in Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; Tomoko Hirakawa and Kazunori Hirakawa, CEOs; hereinafter referred to as "K Trust") have applied for a patent for a new theory "infinite key multiple time-varying fixed point theory," which reviews this structure itself. Some of the patents have already been granted.

In this newsletter, we explain the weaknesses of conventional security methods and the differences between the new design philosophy.

Conventional security has a "fixed correct answer

Many current systems are,

IDs

Passwords

Sessions

Sessions ● Permissions

Many current systems are designed with the assumption of "fixed correct answers" such as ● ID ● Password ● Session ● Permissions.

In this structure, an attacker can gain information by increasing the number of attempts.

In other words, the attacker becomes stronger with experience.

From "secret" to "state" as the object to be protected by security

In the new theory, the object to be protected is not a secret (e.g., passwords) but the state of the system itself.

The state of existence is

The state is generated only at the moment when the conditions are met.

Disappears after a certain period of time

Cannot be reused

The new theory is based on the following mechanism.

Access is managed in 5 states

In theory, the access states are

Disabled

Enabled

Continued

Revoked

Revoked

The five states are "invalid," "valid," "continued," "expired," and "blocked.

Normally, the state is "invalid", and the establishment is treated as an exceptional state for a very short period of time.

The design model has a high protection ratio, but the theoretical model in the document is as follows

Protection rate of 99% or higher

Damage probability less than 0.3%.

The design KPI is also shown as a theoretical model.

However, these are not empirical values but theoretical design values.

An attempt to demonstrate a change in security philosophy

The theory of this time is as follows

Enhanced Authentication

Enhanced monitoring

Unlike conventional "patch-and-add" countermeasures, such as ● strengthening authentication ● strengthening surveillance, the new theory takes the approach of redesigning the system structure itself. As cyber attacks become more sophisticated due to AI, this theory may attract attention as a new direction for security design.

Key visual for the 55th anniversary of the opening of all lines

Concept of the 55th anniversary of the opening of all lines

On the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the opening of all lines, we would like to convey our gratitude to nature and our desire to carry on the traditions of the past, and to encourage our customers to come back again through a variety of contents that will provide "new excitement at any time".

The key visuals are designed to convey the gratitude for the Alpine Route and the desire to carry on the legacy of nature that has remained unchanged.

The design of the key visual, based on the motif of the "Tateyama Mountain Range over Mikurigaike Pond," one of the symbolic views of the Alpine Route, expresses the changing of the seasons and the "moving stories" that have been spun over generations. The design depicts the charm of the Alpine Route, which shows different expressions in each season: early summer, when the beautiful "Mikurigaike Blue" created by melting snow shines brightly; summer, when the mountains are covered in deep green; and autumn, when the mountains turn vivid colors.

Also symbolically depicted are a solitary figure facing nature, a parent and child sharing their emotions, and two people, one with an older life, quietly gazing at the scenery. This nature, which has been protected since its opening, overlaps with the timeline of each person's life, and continues to deliver a variety of emotions to visitors.

The Alpine Route is a journey that will move you no matter what time of year you visit.

The Alpine Route is a place where visitors can encounter heart-stirring experiences no matter what time of year they visit. Beginning with the "snowy valley" in spring, followed by the freshness of early summer with melting snow and fresh greenery, and ending in summer with the magnificent scenery known as the "Switzerland of Japan," the Alpine Route welcomes visitors with different expressions in each of the four seasons, allowing them to encounter new charms each time they visit. Each season has a different look, and each time you visit, you will encounter new attractions.

What is the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route?

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is one of the world's most famous mountain tourism routes located in Tateyama, Chubu-Sangaku National Park. The section between Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture and Ogisawa in Nagano Prefecture is accessible by cable car, bus, ropeway, and six other vehicles, allowing visitors to easily enjoy the spectacular views of the 3,000-meter-high Tateyama Mountain Range and Kurobe Dam.

Operating period in FY2026 (tentative): April 15 (Wed.) - November 30 (Mon.)

Background of product development

Hito to Ki" manufactures and sells original Sekku (seasonal festival) decorations that make the most of the warmth of wood.

The concept behind the design is to create decorations that fit in with daily life, that are cut from muku trees, and that color the season (kumuki, which stands for the first letter of each of these). This product was created with the hope that small children will be able to easily touch it as they play with building blocks, and that we will be able to talk about the meaning of Kisetsu decorations while decorating it with children.

The Kabuto Kabuto decoration series is "through our commitment to wood", which allows you to enjoy the beauty of wood and the delicate handiwork of our craftsmen. Made of high quality natural wood with a smooth finish that gives no sense of joints, every detail is filled with the belief of our craftsmen. We offer a warmth that can never be achieved by mass production and a reliable quality that can only be achieved by handwork.

The year 2026 marks the 450th anniversary of the construction of Azuchi Castle by Oda Nobunaga in Tensho 4 (1576). The release of the "Lord Nobunaga" model amidst this historic opportunity was truly a fateful coincidence. This is an excellent product that will allow you to celebrate your child's first Dolls' Festival with a deeper historical background, along with the image of the hero who paved the way for the times.

We recommend this Sekku ornament to those who wish to pass on the precious traditions of Japan to their children using safe and secure materials.

■About the features of the product

1. a design that combines history and a desire for the future

Nobunaga Oda" is one of the most popular military commanders of the Warring States period. He created new measures one after another without being bound by conventional ideas, and he is still loved by many Japanese as a "symbol of innovation. The Oda Nobunaga-designed helmet contains a strong wish that your child will be able to open the way to the future. The front stand is made of Kumiko work, and the handle of the sword is made of marquetry.

Beautiful marquetry work on the hakimaya and tachi sword. 2.

Wooden May dolls carefully crafted from solid wood in a workshop in Japan, safe and secure for children

The wood is carefully processed one by one by Japanese craftsmen, and because it is made of natural wood, it will change over time. You can feel the passage of time and your child's growth every time you display it. You can enjoy displaying the smooth to touch Kabuto, which is not colored and has a natural wood grain, with your child while holding it in your hand and feeling the warmth of the wood.

A masterpiece of craftsmanship

Compact size to fit the modern home

The standard base for the Kabuto decoration alone is approximately 25 cm high x 21 cm wide x 21 cm deep, similar in size to an A4 notebook. The Hakuyumu set (folding screen pedestal or round window Senbon) is approximately 26 cm (H) x 42 cm (W) x 26 cm (D) and is compact enough to be displayed while the accessories give it a luxurious appearance. The tall front stand is removable with a magnet, so it is not bulky and can be neatly stored in a simple and stylish decorative box.

Design and storage that fits in well with modern homes.

Why New Ideas in the Security Field are Needed Now

As the ransomware attack on Asahi Group Holdings is still fresh in our minds, ransomware attacks targeting corporations and municipalities are becoming more serious every year.

While new countermeasures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and zero-trust are spreading, attackers are now using AI and automated tools to find breakthroughs through repeated attempts.

One reason for this is the existence of the structural concept that the correct authentication information exists somewhere. In security, as long as the correct answer is fixed, the attacker can continue to learn through trial and error.

However, since this concept is the most optimal in today's security, and no better concept exists, security services are created with this "correct authentication information exists somewhere" as a starting point.

What is the "infinite key multiple time-varying fixed point theory"?

The "Multiple Time-Variant Multiple Key Establishment Point Theory," for which we have applied for a patent, defines the "establishment state" in which the use of a system is permitted as follows.

It occurs only at the moment when the conditions match.

It disappears as soon as the process is completed.

Cannot be reused

The "established state" that permits the use of the system is designed in such a way that it is

In other words, there is no "fixed correct answer" for an attacker to aim for.

This is what we refer to as "security that treats the establishment of a condition as a momentary exception.

Proof of "no intrusion" inside

Another feature is the concept of "proof of non-existence. In conventional security, a failed attack is simply recorded as a log.

However, this theory proposes a design that "stores the fact that it was not established as a definite state.

This means that a third party may be able to verify that there has been no intrusion.

Will this be a turning point in security design?

We are planning to publish the following articles in the future.

A "Basic Edition" that explains the theoretical structure of the system.

A "Greatness" section that compares the new method with the conventional method

Comprehensive version" to show the implementation in society

We plan to release a series of "Basic" articles that explain the theoretical structure, "Greatness" articles that compare the theory with conventional methods, and "Comprehensive" articles that demonstrate social implementation.

If this theory is put to practical use, it may lead to a shift from "security that protects secrets" to "security that controls the state of establishment.

　The site has published 65 feature articles and more than 400 editorial reports, and the in-depth content has been highly acclaimed by users. In this renewal, we have reorganized these accumulated articles to make them easier to read, and revamped the design to be optimized for multi-device environments such as the latest smartphones and tablets.

Site top image

Background and Purpose of Renewal: Inherited Concept and Evolution

　While maintaining the concept of "a town where new culture flourishes," we aimed to deliver quality articles accumulated over the past 10 years more smoothly and in depth according to readers' interests.

　Although the site has been smartphone-compatible since its inception, it has been revamped with the latest user interface to match the evolution of devices and changing browsing styles. It provides a reading experience similar to flipping through a good quality magazine.

2. key points of the renewal

(1) New design that allows users to search "deeply and without hesitation" through more than 450 articles accumulated in the database

In order to solve the problem of "not knowing where to start looking," we have completely revised the information navigation. The new design directly connects readers' interests and articles.

Three main categories to choose from

　Articles are organized into three main categories: "Hand down (history, people, etc.)," "Manufacturing (industry, folk art, etc.)," and "Delicious.

Subcategories for deeper interest

　You can now narrow down your search by keywords that symbolize Kurashiki, such as "Mingei" and "Art. You can explore your own personal "likes" more deeply.

A tour experience that encourages you to "take the next step.

　Related "Features" and "Editor's Note" are displayed at the end of each article. This provides an experience that leads to a succession of interests.

Omimi Tengoku K.K. operates an ear esthetic salon store in Sakae, Nagoya City.

We have many customers from all over Japan and even from overseas who visit our salon through TikTok and Instagram.

We have many inquiries from elderly customers who would like to try our services.

On the other hand, there are also those who say it is difficult for them to come to the venue, so we have decided to hold an on-site event for the first time.

Residential fee-based senior citizen home, Kozoji Green Salon

In Japan, 10% of the population has hearing loss. Furthermore, it is said that one out of two people over the age of 65 suffer from hearing loss.

It has been pointed out that if hearing loss is left untreated, the risk of developing dementia increases due to reduced input of information from the outside and decreased brain activity. Therefore, there is a challenge that hearing loss can lead to cognitive decline and a sense of isolation.

Omimi Tengoku K.K. considers "ear" health to be an issue for all generations, and provides residents and visitors with the opportunity to experience the importance of ear health through an "ear health check" and the importance of early detection and early care.

Impressions of the event

All of the elderly residents who participated in this event had never experienced ear esthetics before, and they told us that they wanted us to come to their facilities every day to perform the treatment.

Representative Iguchi said, "My grandfather's hearing loss made me keenly aware of the impact that hearing has on the quality of life. We would like to enrich the lives of the elderly in our community through the opportunity of Ear Day.

THE WALK JAPAN 2026

The world's first walking competition established by PWA in 2022, specializing in wellbeing with a focus on "walking beautifully" and "regulating the world's mind and wellbeing through the way we walk".

This is an innovative and borderless competition in the world that removes all lookism based on appearance and height, ageism based on age, marital status based on marital status, sexism based on sex and gender, nationalism based on nationality, and so on.

Walking beautifully is connected to wellbeing, sustainability, SDGs, preventive medicine, healthy life extension, health management, environmental conservation, education, and international human power.

While major corporations, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization are emphasizing "wellbeing," THE WALK is the only event that systematizes "walking," "body axis," and "breathing," which are the fundamentals of wellbeing.

About "THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Super-Summary of Baseball Business Industry KSFs & Case Studies

G.B. Corporation is pleased to announce the publication of a new book, "THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Super-Summary of Baseball Business Industry KSFs & Case Studies," which visualizes the structure and winning strategies of the professional baseball industry by combining the knowledge of MBA holders.

Background: Finding "winning strategies (KSFs)" for Japanese businesspeople

In many Japanese business scenes, there are many cases in which companies are implementing tactics without fully understanding the structural "Key Success Factors (KSFs)" of their own industry. In order to break through this situation, we have established a method to derive "general solutions" even in industries where information is opaque, making full use of frameworks cultivated through MBA studies. As a first step, we have thoroughly dissected the "professional baseball business," the pinnacle of fan marketing.

■Three major features of this book

1.[First in the industry] "Executive summary" structure that does not leave out any conclusions

The core of the book is condensed into an innovative structure at the beginning of the book. Even busy executives can grasp the essentials of the industry in a few minutes, providing an unprecedented, speedy information inoculation experience. 2.

2. all infographics. A business book that you "see" instead of read.

The complex management strategies and financial structures are thoroughly visualized in intuitive charts and graphs (infographics), allowing you to understand 5Forces analysis, SWOT analysis, fan development models, etc. at a glance, which can be applied directly to the preparation of practical documents.

(3) Combination of MBA Methods and Supervision by Expert Itaru Kobayashi

Itaru Kobayashi, a leading expert in the baseball business, has been invited as a supervisor to ensure the reliability of the information. The "Kachikata" process, which logically derives business economics (high fixed cost/high marginal profit model) and customer KBF (purchase decision factors) from limited public information, has been packaged into a format that can be reproduced by anyone.

Introducing AI into RIGDOCKS

(AZSTOKE; Location: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; President: Kentaro Nakashima), a company specializing in game sound development, offers RIGDOCKS, an automation technology for artists in game sound development.

RIGDOCKS is an API library that can be used with the Lua and Python scripting function "ReaScript" of the DAW software "REAPER", and can contribute to automating the implementation and editing of voices and sound effects (SE) in game development.

The plans "SILVER" and "BRONZE" provided by RIGDOCKS have now been updated. We will also be releasing a bundle set that allows you to purchase all of the plans that were previously separated by API.

Please take this opportunity to experience the wide range of RIGDOCKS functions.

■RIGDOCKS is equipped with the latest AI technology! The contents of the voice can be recognized at a glance! Transcription" from waveforms at the touch of a button

Automatic transcription function

With the update of RIGDOCKS' SILVER plan (ver. 1.4.0, released on March 13, 2012), a new voice file "transcription" function has been added. This function is equipped with "Whisper," a state-of-the-art speech recognition model developed by OpenAI, and realizes highly accurate transcription based on speech analysis using state-of-the-art AI technology. No complicated settings or technical knowledge is required to use this function, and it can be easily used on your own PC.

The software also supports NVIDIA's GPU platform "CUDA," which enables transcription processing using higher performance models at high speed if you are using NVIDIA GPUs. Three OpenAI ggml models are included with the model, and users can use a different model if they prefer.

RIGDOCKS is provided as an API for REAPER, so transcription results can be used for other processing. This update also includes the ability to calculate text matches, which works well with the transcription feature.

These two features can be combined to compare the transcription results with the script to verify that the audio was read correctly and according to the script. This eliminates mistakes, such as voice recording errors and misrecordings, and significantly reduces the time required for confirmation work.

■The "Item Split" function allows you to easily cut and edit voices! Combined with various functions, this function shows its true value!

Item Split Function

An update to the BRONZE Plan (ver. 2.3.0, released on March 13) was also released at the same time, adding the ability to split media items on REAPER. This allows media items to be split at a specified position.

By combining this with the transcription function on the script, it is possible to split an item for each sentence of the transcription result.

In addition, by combining the functions included in the SILVER plan, it is now possible to export the split media items with an arbitrary name.

■Loudness calculation function accuracy has been improved! More reliable!

With the previous SILVER update (SILVER 1.3.0), the loudness calculation function has been renewed. This allows us to obtain more accurate values than before.

This update also affects our patented technologies "TALKTRON" and "LOUDMATCHIFY".

Patented Technology TALKTRON

TALKTRON is a multilingual loudness auto-adjustment function that automatically adjusts voices in other languages to the same loudness value as the voice set as the primary language. This can reduce differences in loudness between languages when developing games with multiple languages.

Example of TALKTRON usage:

[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-024-[TALKTRON] Automatic multilingual volume adjustment function - Patented technology 002 - ReaScript!

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-lua_azstoke_talktron_1

... [REAPDOCK-Python-]-024-[TALKTRON] Automatic multilingual volume control function - Patented technology 002-ReaScript!

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-python_azstoke_talktron_1

For more information about the patented technology TALKTRON: https://www.azstoke.jp/talktron

Patented technology LOUDMATCHIFY

LOUDMATCHIFY is a name-detecting loudness adjustment function that determines the loudness value of the corresponding type from the name of the voice and automatically adjusts the volume. This can greatly reduce the workload of volume adjustment for a large number of voices.

Example of LOUDMATCHIFY usage:

-[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-025-[LOUDMATCHIFY] LOUDMATCHIFY Part 1: Generation of Save Data - Patented Technology 003 - ReaScript!

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-lua_azstoke_loudmatchify_1

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-python_azstoke_loudmatchify_1

For more information about the patented technology LOUDMATCHIFY: https://www.azstoke.jp/loudmatchify

This update is an update of the loudness measurement process, which is a fundamental part of these two patented technologies. The process is now more accurate than ever before.

The new loudness calculation is available from SILVER-1.3.0 and GOLD-1.4.1.

■And finally, the bundle plan "COREAMBER" is released!

In order to make the wide range of features of RIGDOCKS easier and more affordable, AZSTOKE has announced the "COREAMBER" plan, which allows users to purchase the three ranks of BRONZE, SILVER, and GOLD, each containing different features, in one package. The plan includes a set of APIs included in all ranks.

The APIs included in all ranks have a synergistic effect when used in combination, and there is automation and creativity that can only be realized by using all plans together. We hope you will consider the 3 bundle plan COREAMBER to realize the true value of RIGDOCKS.

The price differs depending on the period of update availability.

One-year update version: 57,000 yen

69,000 yen for 2-year update version

Three-year update version: 81,000 yen

The price is more reasonable than purchasing all plans separately.

COREAMBER can be purchased from the RIGDOCKS plan purchase page and is scheduled to be released on March 13, 2026. Please take this opportunity to experience RIGDOCKS in its entirety.

RIGDOCKS plan purchase page: https://www.azstoke.jp/plans

COREAMBER Plan

■RIGDOCKS offers a wide range of automation options! Introducing a wealth of integration functions with various off-the-shelf tools!

RIGDOCKS provides APIs with various functions for each rank, which can be combined to provide powerful support for sound development.

Here we introduce some of them.

Waveform implementation in game audio middleware Wwise - Automated bank generation

Waveform Implementation in Wwise

RIGDOCKS focuses on development in conjunction with the Wwise audio middleware, which allows a wide range of operations such as importing media into Wwise, creating events, setting values, registering to banks, and generating banks. Combined, these functions automate much of the work of implementing waveforms in Wwise. This feature is especially effective when the placement of waveforms is dictated by the specification.

Details are explained here:

[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-046-[Wwise] Automating Bank Generate - Improvement 4

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-lua_azstoke_wwise_fullauto_bank_5

Automation of volume control and Wwise implementation using Perforce and Excel

Integration with Perforce and Excel

RIGDOCKS includes an integration function with the version control system "Perforce" to automatically retrieve files managed by Perforce. It also includes an integration function with the typical spreadsheet software "Excel," which allows you to manage settings for waveform editing by means of tables, and to write the results of file searches in tables.

Combining these functions, it is possible to automate the entire workflow from, for example, setting waveforms managed in Perforce to volume values written in an Excel table, to implementing them in Wwise. The more files you handle, the more time and effort you spend on manual work, so RIGDOCKS can make this kind of work more efficient.

For more details, please refer to the following page:

[REAPDOCK-Lua-]-051-[Excel] Configure audio files managed by Perforce based on Excel tables and automatically implement them in Wwise (2)

https://www.azstoke.jp/post/reascript_reapdock-lua_azstoke_excel_importtowwise

In addition, RIGDOCKS also provides a linkage function with the business chat tool Slack, which allows you to send notifications to Slack at the end of a time-consuming process, such as Wwise bank generation, when the process is complete. This allows you to automatically perform processing while you are working on your own tasks and receive a notification when it is completed.

Nijiiro Kids Marche flyer

Back side of the Nijiiro Kids Marche flyer

This event will be held as a place where children who attend the hotel for schoolchildren can open their accumulated learning and experiences to the local community and connect with society through their proactive involvement in planning, preparation and operation.

The Gakudo Hotel is working every day to provide children with a variety of "real experiences. The Marche is not simply an event, but rather a process of trial and error in which the children themselves discuss what to sell and how to make people happy, and then prepare for the event.

The event will include a "Children's Cafe" where children work in teams to serve customers and sell products, as well as workshops and booths set up by local communities and businesses. One of the main features of this event is that it is held in an open public space in front of Tarumi Station, creating a natural interaction with local residents and visitors.

Event Outline

Event Name: Nijiiro Kids Marche in front of Tarumi Station

Date ： Saturday, March 21, 2026

Time: 11:00-15:00

Venue: In front of Tarumi Station (Tarumi Station East Plaza / Space next to Tarumi Library)

Sponsor : General Incorporated Association HORONIC (School Children's Hotel)

Supported by : Tarumi Ward Office

Contents ： ・"Kodomo Cafe" planned and operated by children

　　　　　　 Workshops and hands-on booths

　　　　　　 Stalls by local communities and companies

Admission ： Free of charge

URL ： https://www.gakudohotel.or.jp/news/96

Stalls

Children's Involvement

Children participating in the event have been divided into teams and have decided on their own what they will sell and the division of roles. Not only on the day of the event, but also during the workshops and preparation period prior to the event, they have accumulated experience in discussing, cooperating, and taking on challenges. This event is an opportunity for the children to express these experiences in a tangible form, and provides a valuable opportunity for them to experience "working" and "being involved in society".

Future Prospects

The "Nijiiro Kids' Marché" is not a one-time event, but a milestone in the learning of the first batch of children, and we are considering holding the event on a regular basis as the second and third batch of children continue to participate.

In addition, the School Children's Hotel aims to use the Maiko initiative as a starting point and expand it to other Settlement locations, as well as to other hotels and regions in the future. We are not an institution specializing in education or childcare, but that is why we believe it is meaningful to practice "something like schoolchildren" in the hotel space, without being bound by the framework of what schoolchildren are.

We will continue to carefully build on the insights, relationships, and management innovations that emerge onsite and develop them into a system that can be replicated anywhere. We also envision a variety of other developments, including hands-on events for the general public during long vacations, hotels for school children that travel to corporations, and hands-on programs as part of employee welfare programs.

We hope to close the experience gap for children and provide a "safe third place" for both children and their parents. This non-profit initiative to connect with society will open up the value of the hotel and explore the future of the hotel.

What is a hotel for schoolchildren?

Children's everyday life is a series of "firsts. However, there are differences in the opportunities for children to experience these experiences depending on their family environment. The Hotel Setre Kobe Maiko was launched with the aim of narrowing this gap in experiences, even if only a little. We provide a place where children can find their "likes" and "strengths" through real work and encounters with people in the special space of a hotel. Furthermore, the sight of children spending time in a lively atmosphere provides peace of mind for their parents. As a "third place" where children can learn, experience, and interact with others, the Hotel for School-Age Children will spread the cycle of smiles in the community.

In order to bequeath your property to your grandchildren

In the field of inheritance, we are often confronted with the situation that after construction of apartments and condominiums, they have become "negative assets" or "unprofitable management due to aging" because they are engaged in real estate management without the necessary knowledge of rental management.

The lecturer has been working on inheritance measures for rental real estate owners for many years, and has found that "with a few measures and a little knowledge, negative real estate management could have been avoided" and that real estate utilization often involves debt, and that "there are too many dangerous cases that cannot be dismissed as unknowable", so he has decided to hold a seminar for real estate owners on old and dilapidated properties. Therefore, we have decided to hold a seminar for real estate owners on real estate inheritance measures for old and deteriorating properties.

By holding this seminar, we aim to help as many people as possible acquire "the knowledge to increase profitability and the knowledge of how to utilize real estate without losing out to aging properties," and to "leave not only a legacy to their children and grandchildren but also a mechanism to increase their wealth," thereby eliminating various problems caused by inherited real estate.

This event is a public service event with free admission, where people of all ages, from children to the elderly, as well as pet owners and those who are considering living with animals, can enjoy and learn from this event.

The 1st Smile Pet Festa in Sone Hillside Park 2026 March 20-21

Event details: https://smilepetfesta.com/

Background of "Smile Pet Festa in Sone Hillside Park 2026

In recent years, various studies and practices have shown that the "human-animal bond," such as trust and attachment that is created when people and animals are involved, has a positive impact on people's physical and mental health and quality of life (QOL).

On the other hand, due to the declining birthrate, aging population, and changing lifestyles, an increasing number of people feel uneasy about living with pets and have few opportunities to interact with animals themselves.

In addition, human health, animal health, and environmental health are deeply interrelated, and the "One Health" perspective, which considers them all as one, is becoming increasingly important to society as a whole.

In light of this background, this event will be held under the auspices of related organizations with the aim of providing an opportunity to realize and learn the value of the relationship between people and animals. The event aims to be open to the community, not only for those who currently live with pets, but also for those who are considering living with animals, and for everyone from children to the elderly, so that they can think about "life," "health," and "symbiosis" while having fun.

About "Smile Pet Festa in Sone Hillside Park 2026

Smile Pet Festa is a hands-on event that takes the human-animal bond (human-animal bond) as its starting point to think about how society should be where people, animals, and the environment can live together in a healthy and prosperous manner.

The following five areas and stage programs will be held at the venue.

1) One Health Area

This is an area where visitors can consult and experience daily health management and preventive care, including health consultations and body fat measurements by veterinarians and other experts, supplements, oral care, and dog massage.

Visitors can learn through hands-on experience with their pets that the health of pets is also connected to the health of their owners.

2) Activity Area

This is an area where visitors can experience how to interact with animals, the importance of life, and the sense of security and trust that comes from the relationship between people and animals, through dog sports demonstrations and hands-on programs by experts and students, an animal petting area, a flying dog photo studio, and more.

3) Marche Area

In addition to pet food, treats, care products, and small animal products, this is an area where visitors can enjoy shopping for a wide range of products and experiences, such as booths proposing living environments, aquarium living, and plant workshops.

4) Kitchen Car Area

Kitchen cars from Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Saitama, and other regions will set up stalls. They will offer food that can be enjoyed while enjoying the event. There will also be a kitchen car with a menu for dogs, so you can take a break with your pets in this area.

5) Stage Program

Through lectures and talks by veterinarians and other experts, this stage program provides an opportunity to learn about the health and lifestyle of pets and how to deal with animals, as well as the learning and physical and mental benefits of animal-people relationships.

The event will feature a variety of stages with several veterinarians and experts, among which the following lectures will be held as special seminars.

FLASH EVA01 Substrate Art iPhone 17 Pro Case

Product Features

This is a product seriously made by PCB professionals. Designed with CAD for printed circuit boards and mounted (soldered) with electronic components on a real circuit board. We design the CAD in-house and mount the components on the surface mounting line at our main factory, which is used for our main business. The board CAD that designs the board is not design software, so lines are drawn one by one with the mouse. After mounting the electronic components, they are coated one by one by human hands in a clean room (class 1000) to protect the mounted components until the resin is full of surface tension and vacuum heated. Then, air bubbles and dust on the resin surface are removed by hand. Designed and manufactured in Japan, all products are RoHS compliant (lead-free). Gift box packaging makes them suitable for gift-giving. The circuit board is gold plated. Strap hole is attached to the case.

Please check out our YouTube video on the manufacturing process of FLASH iPhone case.

Attention!

The three Evangelion iPhone cases are not compatible with MagSafe and wireless power supply due to the interference of the wiring pattern on the circuit board.

The 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max cases do not have enough board area for the antenna circuit, so an additional antenna wire is processed inside the case to reinforce it. Please do not touch the antenna wire and tape.

Also, due to the rising cost of raw materials including gold and silver, and labor costs, we have raised the price from the iPhone 17 case.

Why does the "FLASH iPhone case" glow?

The LEDs glow by converting the radio waves emitted by the iPhone itself into electric power and boosting the voltage. The LEDs do not glow during normal operation, but glow randomly when the iPhone emits strong radio waves. The way it glows is that the antenna circuit on the back side of the board catches strong radio waves emitted by the iPhone and circulates them to the front side of the board. There is only one LED. The circuit that makes the LED glow with radio waves was patented in 2020 (patent number 6667777).

The following is the story of the birth of "Chura no Megumi".

Nami Watanabe, the developer

Continuously thinking of Okinawa. A woman called "Nanchu" faces the future of Okinawan ingredients

Nami Watanabe (Nami Watanabe, Executive Vice President of Office G-Revo Co., Ltd.), who has been visiting Okinawa for a long time since she was fascinated by Okinawa as a student, is naturally called "Nanchu" by those around her. He is not from Okinawa. Nevertheless, he has spent a lot of time meeting people, facing the land, and getting involved, not as a tourist. For Watanabe, Okinawa has gone from being a "favorite place" to a "part of his life.

Turning "love" into something tangible

After graduating from university, Watanabe visited Okinawa many times for a travel agency and, using his experience from private trips, worked as a tourism public relations manager for a village project a few years ago. Through dialogue with various producers in the prefecture, I learned about their particular production methods and was once again convinced of the power of prefectural ingredients that have supported Okinawa's healthy longevity.

Visiting farmers in the prefecture

In charge of a tourism PR project for the village

■Okinawa's economy is heavily influenced by the tourism industry.

Can't we increase the value of primary industry and manufacturing more? Can we create a cycle other than tourism? Chura no Megumi", a supplement developed using only natural ingredients from Okinawa and based on the theme of pilgrimage, was born as one of the challenges.

＜Chura-no-Megumi Official Shop

https://churamegumi.base.shop/

Ltd., which works directly with producers and has a thorough management system from material selection to quality control, from raw material selection to formulation, development, and manufacturing. We share Watanabe's thoughts, and through mutual exchange of opinions, we have completed a supplement that we have been particular about, and began selling it on February 11, 2026.

With Mr. Yamazaki, a mangelicon farmer

Visiting the production site

Recently, Watanabe and Atmore visited a farmer in Okinawa Prefecture where one of the ingredients, mangelicon, is produced.

He stood in the fields, touched the ingredients, and listened to the farmers' voices about the difficulties of organic farming. This was not just an observation tour; he wanted to help establish a system whereby natural ingredients from Okinawa are valued fairly and the creators' ideas are circulated as value. It was a time to confirm my own resolve.

Receiving direct guidance from Mr. Yamazaki

Turning "love" into responsibility

Okinawa is a wonderful place that has gone through a lot of history and embraces everything. The name "Nanchu" came about by chance. However, I have always asked myself whether I have been involved in a way that lives up to the name. I have always asked myself this question.

I continue to think about Okinawa. This is shown not by feelings, but by actions. Beyond tourism. The challenge to face the future of Okinawan materials has just begun.

Synopsis

Tokyo, during the year in which the world was prophesied to end.

As we clung to reality, too spineless to throw our lives away together, we met MAMIYA.

At a friend's funeral, the entire crowd was weeping and mourning, while we thought to ourselves that the death of a single person had no meaningful impact on the world at large.

We slept, woke up, and went through the same daily grind as ever. At least, that's how it was supposed to be.

Then MAMIYA appeared...

Before we even knew it, the mysterious child named MAMIYA had wormed their way into our daily lives. They slowly, but surely, became something of an emotional support. They'd brought us down a new path.

A path that would surely lead us to our deaths...

Characters

Natsume (CV: Fukuyama Jun)

An affectionate youth who cares deeply for his friends. In life, he was called "Natsume Souichirou."

If it meant saving those he held dear, he'd become brave to the point of recklessness, and unforgiving toward those trying to hurt them—particularly Mamiya.

He is also a huge fan of Mina the maid, letting his somewhat nerdy side show.

Mamiya (CV: Kaji Yuki)

An enigmatic, non-existant man who commands the entities known as "MAMIYA" and calls people to another world.

He's a being of fantasy, yet his goal is to gain flesh in this world and "exist."

He shows concern for his old friends from the pink house, while finding "Me" detestable, pitiful, but also enviable.

Kikuchi Ryou (CV: Inozuki Shuji)

A solitary high schooler rumored to be involved in multiple violent incidents. The only one who understands him is his childhood friend, Toujou Minato.

Because of his often-absent mother, he has to do part-time jobs to support his 9-year-old sister.

While not very good at making friends or conversation, he has a very sincere heart.

Toujou Minato (CV: Amemiya Ryo)

A cheerful, sociable boy who is the star of his class.

While he can get along with anyone, the only friend he is really close to is Kikuchi Ryou.

Despite what his beautiful appearance would have you think, he is a judo black belt and a big eater.

Morichika Haruki (CV: Miyashita Eiji)

An attractive deadbeat who jumps from woman to woman, maintaining no stable job or residence.

Though a rather intense character who can be abrasive even with younger people, he also has a sensitive side.

He yearns for company, yet loves solitude, making him a somewhat conflicted personality.

Suou Keito((CV: Hayato Kimura)

A member of the lacrosse club, overflowing with affection, a sense of justice, and an arrogance he himself is hardly aware of.

Raised by a gentle mother and an officer father, he had a wonderful family life, but there was a part of him that felt unfulfilled, driving him to write a dream diary.

In addition, experienced professional racing drivers provide driving support.

They will give you advice on everything from lectures on how to operate the car to line taking, load shifting, and telemetry analysis, depending on your objectives.

The experience is available even if you do not have a driver's license, and since it is by appointment only, you can concentrate on driving in a near-private environment.

This is an environment that can be casually enjoyed by a variety of people, including those who want to become racers and those who enjoy motorsports as a hobby, as well as those who want to practice to improve their actual driving skills.

HAGUKUMU main visual

LAODI distillery will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brand in 2026. To mark this milestone, a new series of products will be launched under the name "HAGUKUMU (Raising)," the highest quality brand.

The first product, "HAGUKUMU The Golden Cask of Pinot Noir" will be released on Monday, March 9, 2026. This product is a premium and exclusive new series that distinguishes itself from the existing "LAODI" series by using only original sake that has undergone a longer maturation period.

The new product will be available at liquor stores nationwide as well as through our official online store (https://www.laodijp.com/).

About LAODI Distillery

LAODI Distillery is located in Vientiane, Laos, Southeast Asia, where a Japanese man has been making rum. Located in the capital city of Vientiane, LAODI Distillery is the first craft rum distillery in Laos, established in 2006 by the founder, Ikuzo Inoue, a native of Hiroshima, in cooperation with Laotians.

On their 20-hectare plantation carved out of virgin forest, sugarcane is grown entirely by hand. Only fresh sugarcane juice pressed immediately after harvesting is used as raw material, and since its establishment, the company has consistently worked with the land to produce rum.

The founder, Mr. Inoue, has been making rum in a foreign country for 20 years through trial and error with the help of experts. He has trained local women as artisans to make craft rum that brings out the best of the fertile terroir of Laos.

These efforts have been well received outside of Japan, and LAODI has won gold medals at international spirits competitions in London and Berlin. LAODI has won gold medals at international spirits competitions in London and Berlin, and has earned a solid reputation as a Laotian craft rum on the world stage.

About the new premium series "HAGUKUMU

HAGUKUMU and our own sugarcane

HAGUKUMU" embodies our philosophy of devoting all our love and time and effort to sugarcane and manufacturing. It is the very progress that we have made over the past 20 years since our founding, as we have continued to challenge and improve ourselves. This new brand was born as a symbol of the company's commitment to the terroir and its craftsmanship.

The company's own farm adjacent to the distillery handles everything from sugarcane seedling to harvesting. The sugarcane is harvested during the limited dry season and grows in the subtropical monsoon climate with abundant rainfall, which maximizes its sweetness during the dry season. Only the fresh juice from the cane is used. The result is a raw sake with a fresh sweetness and a strong structure.

Mr. Inoue, the founder of the company

In Laos, with its tropical climate, the angel share reaches about 10% per year, and the aging process is dynamic. In this environment, "HAGUKUMU" is aged in bourbon barrels and finished in Pinot Noir barrels. Ripe berry fruit, tea and spices, and oak notes reminiscent of antique furniture meld together to form a rich and complex aroma. Sugar cane sweetness and mellow tannins harmonize with mellow custard and a brilliant lingering finish, making this a perfect 20th anniversary wine.

Image of the hotel building

This will be the sixth hotel under the CETRAY brand, and is scheduled to begin accepting reservations for accommodations on March 5, 2026 (Thursday).

This facility was created as part of the "NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS" redevelopment project in the Nakagawa Canal Horidome area. By carefully deciphering the history, culture, and the flow of water and wind in the area, and incorporating them into the relationship between space, food, and people, the facility will offer a stay experience that can only be created here*. *Surveyed by the company

Official website of CETRAY CANAL Nagoya: https://www.hotelsetre.com/lp/nagoyaopen/

NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS

Background and Significance of Opening

Settre has always placed importance on the "local character" of the area, and has developed its hotels not as places to stay, but as "media for encountering the local community" by dealing with the local producers, culture, and climate. We have developed the hotel not as a "place to stay" but as a "media to encounter the local community. Rather than simply "connecting" with the local community, the hotel captures the time and stories that live in the area and translates them into space, food, and human interactions, weaving a stay experience that can only be created here. The Nakagawa Canal once supported Nagoya's logistics and industry and quietly watched over the city's growth. CETRAY CANAL Nagoya will be born at the water's edge, where the past and future, the everyday and the extraordinary softly intersect. We hope to create a "place to stay" that quietly raises questions about the local community, society, and future lifestyles, as a place in the city that breathes in the presence of nature and opens one's senses.

Concept

From the Nakagawa Canal, a stay that weaves the future.

The Nakagawa Canal has supported logistics and industry in the past, and has watched over the growth of the city. This hotel was created with the hope that the time spent by the waterfront will be an opportunity to reflect on the future of the region, society, and the earth. Water and greenery, soft breezes, and changing light. This is not just a place to stay, but a base where the past and the future, the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect to weave a new way of life. This is not just a place to stay.

Values that SETRE values

SETRE is a hotel that weaves together the "character of the local area.

History and culture, the flow of water and wind. SETRE has been delivering experiences that go beyond "staying" by reflecting the time that has flowed through the land in the space, food, and human interactions.

At the Nakagawa Canal in Nagoya, we cherish the breath of the waterside, where city and nature overlap, and nurture opportunities for people to become aware of their connection to the region and the environment through their stay. We take a short break from everyday life to open up our sensibilities. This is an editorial base for the waterfront.

Four things this place values

In the Nakagawa Canal area, which is undergoing redevelopment, we propose a new value for staying by the water.

01｜A short walk from Nagoya Station

A short walk from Nagoya Station, the waterside of the Nakagawa Canal appears as if the hustle and bustle of the city is about to melt away.

It is a place where you can feel the expanse of water, wind, and sky, even though it is an extension of the city.

Nakagawa Canal

02｜Sauna, a time to get in shape

Surrounded by water and wood, you will regain your senses. A sauna made of wood from Aichi Prefecture and a half-open-air bathhouse where you can feel the presence of the canal. Warming, relaxing, and quietly regulating. You will experience a deep lingering sensation that is unique to this place.

Sauna Image 1

03｜All Inclusive

Choose nothing, just let yourself go. Everything you need for your stay is already here, from drinks and snacks to time spent in the lounge. The comfort of not having to think about it will help you slowly unwind from time to time.

*All-inclusive style including drinks and snacks during your stay

Lounge Image 1

04｜The open terrace where you can unwind in time.

The breeze along the waterfront and the presence of the Shinkansen bullet train running in front of you. Here, where the city and nature overlap, the flickering fire and the shadows of the trees gently illuminate the night. Just sit, watch, talk, and do nothing. These moments gradually become "a time to return to yourself.

Features of Facilities and Space

Guest Room

All 24 rooms have a canal view.

Bath & Sauna

A sauna made of wood from Aichi Prefecture and a semi-outdoor bathhouse where you can feel the natural breeze.

In a space with the scent of wood and the motif of a canal, you can have a moment to adjust your senses and breathe with nature while in the city.

Image of bath and sauna

Mio Terrace

A waterfront terrace that is surprisingly(*) quiet despite its location in the heart of the city. *Surveyed by the company

The light from the Nagoya Expressway, the surface of the Nakagawa Canal, and the soft breeze overlap each other.

A "waterside oasis" where you can spend a special time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

PROJECT｜Circulating sauna created with "Forest of Apde

SUSTAINABILITY｜Creating a sauna that is connected to the forest and the future

Sauna × APDe Forest "Sauna that circulates" created with trees in the APDe Forest

The sauna at CETRAY CANAL Nagoya uses wood grown in the APDe Forest in Aichi Prefecture. This initiative aims to revitalize the environment and recycle local resources by properly maintaining and "updating" the forest, which has become inadequately cared for.

This sauna is not just a facility to "update" the forest. The sauna is not just a facility for "getting ready"; it is a place where people can contemplate the connections between nature, people, cities, and the environment while being enveloped in the fragrance of wood that has inherited the time of the forest. This sauna is a space where your stay itself becomes an opportunity to encounter a sustainable future.

Forest of Apde 1

Apde Forest 2

*"Apde no Mori" is an environmental project and program developed by Chukyo TV that focuses on the regeneration of forests and sustainable resource recycling. Through efforts to protect and utilize local forests, we are working to connect people, forests, and the future.

About the "NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS" complex

This hotel will be the core of the "NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS" waterfront complex, which is undergoing redevelopment. The hotel, restaurants, cafes, saunas, and places for work and socializing will be loosely connected to form a "waterfront hub" that will accommodate the different ways in which visitors spend their time.

CETRAY CANAL Nagoya aims to be not only a place to stay overnight, but also a place that fosters a new culture and liveliness along the waterfront.

Future Prospects

CETRAY CANAL Nagoya will not only function as a lodging facility, but will also aim to become a base for fostering new liveliness and culture together with the local community. As the starting point for new developments in the Tokai area, we plan to make the hotel function as a "media for editing and transmitting information about the region.

CUT" is a product developed by rethinking the possibilities of aluminum materials based on the concept of "enhancing works of art by cutting them down. Unlike ordinary picture frames, which aim for a "finished state" through decoration and surface treatment, "CUT" is made of raw material (unpainted aluminum) that has not been painted or anodized. CUT" is designed to accept minor scratches and texture changes that occur over time not as "deterioration" but as "memory," and the frame itself grows along with the artwork.

The cross-sectional shape of the frame is triangular, cutting inward. This structure creates a visual effect that naturally leads the eye to the artwork, and at the same time, it is a rational design that is both lightweight and rigid. The shape is characterized by its ability to bring a sense of tension and depth to the space, while at the same time reducing its assertiveness as a picture frame.

CUTiF

In judging,

A clear concept that redefines the aluminum picture frame from an "inexpensive, uniform existence.

A design in which form and structure are linked with a sense of inevitability

The design of the product is a combination of form and structure.

The concept of affirming the change of raw aluminum over time and the choice of materials that lead to a reduction in environmental impact.

The product was comprehensively evaluated on these points.

CUTiF2

With this award, Aluna Co., Ltd. will continue to promote manufacturing that reexamines "how artworks are seen," "how they relate to space," and "how to deal with materials" through the product of picture frames, both in Japan and abroad.

Tohoku Soul Beer IPL

Tohoku Spirit Beer Project: https://www.facebook.com/tohokubeerproject/

What is the Tohoku Spirit Beer Project?

The Tohoku Spirit Beer Project was launched in November 2011. We received support and encouragement from many customers at the time of the disaster. We thought of what we could do to return the support by improving the quality of our beer and making it better. So, brewers in Tohoku, who are usually rivals with each other, got together to share their skills and brew beer together. Initially, three breweries (Iwate Iwate Kura Beer, Akita Akita Beer, and Michinoku Fukushima Road Beer) hosted the event, but the number of participants has increased over the years, and this time 16 breweries are cooperating. In addition, since November 2017, Kirin Beer Sendai Brewery and Spring Valley Brewery had also joined the program and held study sessions to improve each other's technology more deeply with a support system for analysis, etc.

Once a year, we will offer this technology with the same recipe to return the quality to the many people who supported us after the disaster.

2. contents of the 22nd Tohoku Spirit Beer Project

Usually, the Tohoku Spirit Beer Project gathers at one brewery in Tohoku, where breweries decide on a theme, discuss the technology, and brew the beer. This time, 16 participating breweries will brew beer with the same recipe. The beer will be scientifically analyzed by Kirin Brewery to improve the technology. The finished beer will be served at Spring Valley Brewery Tokyo and other beer pubs nationwide.

[Future plans

The finished beers will be served at Craft Beer Serverland Akasaka-mitsuke in Akasaka-mitsuke, Tokyo, on March 8, where 16 companies will open their beers and hold a social event with their customers.

On March 24th, a discussion will be held at the Sendai factory of Kirin Brewery to further develop brewing techniques based on the results of the analysis.

Participating breweries

Iwate Kura Beer (Iwate), Tono Beer Zumona (Iwate), NOYMONDBREWING (Iwate), HOPDOGBREWING (Akita), Akuta Akura Beer (Akita), Tazawako Beer (Akita)

Teneru," a Kumiki Building Block for Expanding Playtime

Teneru" is a wooden educational toy that allows children to enjoy various shapes using simple H-shaped pieces of our original design. By not only piling up the pieces but also assembling and arranging them in various directions, users can play in a variety of ways while enjoying unexpected shapes and new discoveries. We hope that through play, children will develop their creativity, concentration, and ability to think by thinking and devising.

The characteristic H-shaped piece made of wood

The name "Teneru" is derived from the Latin word "tener," meaning "to hold" or "soft. Latin, which is also used for botanical terms, is an official language that has been handed down through the ages and across countries. We named the product "Teneru" in the hope that children's innate "soft" sensibility will lead to richer communication through playing with "Teneru".

Expanding the Range of Play as Children Grow

The set consists of 12 H-shaped pieces and 4 square pieces, for a total of 16 pieces, and the H-shaped pieces are made using the traditional woodworking method called "sanmaiku mitsugi," which allows for a high degree of freedom in combining the pieces. The simplicity of the design allows for a wide range of creativity as the child ages and grows, making the product enjoyable for a long time. While using their fingertips to feel the wood, children will naturally develop spatial awareness and concentration, and their creativity will be drawn out as much as possible.

100% Gifu Prefecture wood is used.

Can be played with in a variety of ways

This product is made of prefectural lumber grown in the forests of Gifu Prefecture. We are committed to a recycling-oriented manufacturing system in which trees are carefully used and returned to the forest. We created this product with the hope that people will feel the warmth of the wood while playing with it and imagine the forest beyond it.

Taki Corporation's new production company "COBO

■Background and concept behind the establishment of "COBO

For over 65 years, Taki Corporation has been engaged in planning and production of all kinds of communication with design as the mainstay, including branding, CI/VI, application development, UI/UX development, package design, promotion, graphics, website, video/video, and interactive content development. We have been engaged in the planning and production of all kinds of communication with a focus on design.

In the midst of an increasingly diversified design field, we have now launched a new production company, COBO, in order to "deeply reconsider graphics as the center of production".

In this age of accelerated efficiency with the introduction of generative AI, we dare to renew the image of the old "studio. The "C" in our name represents our determination to update the three elements of Creative (creativity), Culture (culture), and Craft (technology). By using the "blank space" created by technology for contemplation and crafting to enhance the strength of creativity, we will pursue highly pure expression with consistent responsibility from transmission to output, while maintaining the basic premise of high quality.

■Achievements extending to international projects

Our members have handled many large-scale projects based on mass advertising.

In recent years, we have expanded the scope of our work to include international projects.

Castella biscuits combine the fluffy, moist texture of sponge cake with the light, crispy texture and aroma of biscuits. These contradictory charms are combined in a single confectionery.

The first bite is gently sweet, and as you bite into the biscuit, you can feel the texture change and taste the richness of the flavor.

Background of development

Moist dough and crispy biscuit. In order to achieve the coexistence of these two textures, which had been considered difficult to achieve, we conducted numerous prototypes and made detailed adjustments to baking temperatures and formulas.

The manufacturing method that maintains the moisture content of the sponge cake while not compromising the lightness of the cookie has achieved an exquisite balance that does not lean toward either one or the other.

The retro package is nostalgic and makes you pick it up without a second thought.

The yellow color is eye-catching and gorgeous.

The new flavors feature proud local ingredients such as "Marihime" brand strawberries, a Wakayama Prefecture original variety, "Kiyomi Orange" full of juice, and the traditional "Tenshiyo" from Gobo, Kishu, as the main ingredients.

Butter Sandwich 12-flavor set

■Three new seasonal flavors (until May 31, 2026)

Group photo of 3 new seasonal flavors

◎Marihime Strawberry Milk (made with Wakayama ingredients) (seasonal)...320 yen (tax included)

The essence of the Wakayama brand: Luxurious use of Wakayama Prefecture's original strawberry "Marihime".

Marihime" is characterized by its high sugar content and mellow aroma. The fresh flavor of Marihime strawberries is locked in the cream, which is combined with "homemade milk jam" made from Hokkaido milk that has been slowly cooked. The creamy butter, tartness of strawberries, and richness of milk melt in your mouth, making this a perfect dish for the first day of spring.

Kiyomi Orange and 3 kinds of nuts (made with Wakayama ingredients) (seasonal)...320 yen (tax included)

Adult's marriage of Kiyomi Orange and 3 kinds of nuts

This is a device that allows you to taste the entirety of the Kiyomi orange produced in Wakayama Prefecture. In addition to the jam, it is topped with home-made orangette (candied peel) as a garnish. Three types of nuts (walnuts, almonds, and cashews) give the buttercream a pleasant rhythm and a deep richness.

Kiyomi Orange and 3 kinds of nuts

◎Salt red bean butter (made with Wakayama ingredients) (seasonal)...320 yen (tax included)

The ultimate in local production for local consumption: An-butter enhanced by the salt from Kishu.

The key ingredient is "Kishu Gobo Shioya no Tenshiyo" (salt from a salt shop in Gobo, Kishu). The perfect balance of Hokkaido sweet bean paste and aromatic fermented butter is used. We dared not to mix in too much so that the original flavor of the butter, the sweetness of the red bean paste, and the salt crystals can be felt directly.

Salt red bean paste butter

～The idea behind "101," a specialty store specializing in Wakayama butter sandwiches, is to "give a bite of happiness.

101" is a specialty shop that offers butter sandwiches made from ingredients grown in the rich natural environment of Wakayama.

This spring, 101 has condensed the fruits grown with great care by farmers and the thoughts of salt artisans who preserve the tradition into a single sandwich.

We hope that you will choose these sandwiches not only as a reward for yourself, but also as a "gift that brings the spring of Wakayama" to your loved ones.

Packing Wakayama into a sable

The 101 sable dough is made from malt lees from Nomu Craft Brewing, a craft beer brewery in Aritagawa, Wakayama. The flour is milled by a labor support facility, "Haguruma Kyodo Shokusho Wa no Mori," which is also involved in the upcycling of the dough, valuing the connection with the local community.

▼A set of 12 butter sandwiches is also very popular!　*Surveyed by the company

In addition to the three new items, we also offer an assortment of 12 kinds, including 9 standard items filled with Wakayama's bounty, such as "Soy Sauce Pudding" using powdered soy sauce from Yuasa/Kadonaga, the birthplace of soy sauce, and "Ryujinmaru no Sakekasu to Jabara" combining jabara and sakekasu, a rare and hard to find sake.

It is ideal as a seasonal gift or as a treat for yourself.

Kou Shibasaki

　Shimotsuma City (Shimotsuma, Ibaraki Prefecture) officially announces that it will host the short film production project MIRRORLIAR FILMS Season 10 in Shimotsuma City on March 1, 2026.

　At the same time, the project will create a cyclical learning system that will nurture the "human ability" required in the future society and pass it on to the next generation through the learning that can be cultivated through films and the experience of filmmaking, which cannot be experienced in everyday life.

　The goal is not to make the film production a mere one-time event, but to return the experience and learning gained through the film production to the local community and link it to education, human resource development, local industry, and daily life in a sustainable manner.

Background

22 years after "Shimotsuma Monogatari", Shimotsuma City faces the challenge of facing the film again

Sand Swamp and Mt.

　The movie "The Tale of Shimotsuma," released in 2004, spread the name of Shimotsuma City throughout Japan and showed many people the fact that "even in the countryside, stories are told and culture is born.

　While today's Shimotsuma City retains the scenery depicted in "The Tale of Shimotsuma," the city has undergone significant changes. While preserving the rural landscape at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba, the city is making great strides toward becoming a town where people can choose to live a lifestyle that suits them best, such as by taking advantage of its location within 60 km of Tokyo and increasing the number of people commuting to work and school.

　Furthermore, due to its vast flat land and easy access to the Tokyo metropolitan area, the city has succeeded in attracting blue-chip companies, and in order to steadily accept new residents, including transferees, in the future, the city is selling public land to the private sector and focusing on housing policy. We will actively promote the charms of Shimotsuma City, including its wonderful living environment blessed with agricultural and livestock products, using the "movie" as a catalyst.

　Twenty-two years after the release of "The Tale of Shimotsuma," Shimotsuma City is once again working with the film industry to create a new image of the city, not as a city that invites movies, but as a city where the power of movies takes root in the community, through cooperation between the public, private, and academic sectors. The city of Shimotsuma will promote city promotion with the aim of creating a new image of the city.

Shimotsuma City Access Map

Kou Shibasaki will participate in "MIRRORLIAR FILMS Season 10" as a film director!

　We are pleased to announce that "MIRRORLIAR FILMS Season 10" will be released in 2027.

　Kou Shibasaki will be participating in "MIRRORLIAR FILMS Season 10," which will be released in 2027. KANNAGI", in which she also appeared. The short film will be shot in Shimotsuma City, Ibaraki Prefecture. We are looking forward to seeing what kind of world Shibasaki will create in this short film! We have also received a comment from Shibasaki expressing her enthusiasm for the project!

Comment from Kou Shibasaki

　I am very happy to make my second short film as a director at MIRRORLIAR. KANNAGI" focused on poverty and depicted the intersection of the invisible world and the dark side of society.

　This time, however, I would like to change the angle drastically and express in an interesting way the sense of cause and effect and fate, which I myself have always cherished. I am looking forward to making another work with a different approach from my previous one!

What is MIRRORLIAR FILMS PROJECT - Toward film production in collaboration with the local community

　MIRRORLIAR FILMS, which started in 2020 and is produced by Chikara Ito, Shinnosuke Abe, Takayuki Yamada, and others, is a short film production project that transcends the boundaries between major and independent filmmakers.

　By collaborating with local communities across Japan to produce films, hold screenings, and workshops, MIRRORLIAR FILMS aims to be a participatory project based on the philosophy of "creating an era where anyone can make films.

　The project is unique in that it involves not only professional filmmakers and actors, but also local communities and local residents, and has been developed throughout Japan as a place for open learning and experience in filmmaking itself.

　This project is attracting attention as a project that simultaneously realizes human resource development and regional revitalization by communicating the unique value of the local area both domestically and internationally.

　In addition, we are utilizing the "corporate version of hometown tax payment" system to produce films with corporate donations as a regional development project of the local government.

　Through the production of films, we contribute to regional development and other forms of local creation by discovering local attractions and creating interaction among people regardless of age, occupation, or genre.

MIRRORLIAR FILMS Season 8 Okayama Film Project Screening Festival

■Film Production Project

　The concept of the film is "A place to return to now. ～ The project aims to evoke memories of a town to which people who were born and raised in Shimotsuma City, or spent their school days here, or have some other connection to Shimotsuma, will someday want to return, even though they now live in different areas of the city for different reasons. Through this public-private-academic collaboration project, we aim to nurture young human resources and foster pride and attachment to the city, while considering the attractiveness of Shimotsuma City from different perspectives, with the aim of revitalizing a community that is appropriate for the city.

　One of the features of this project is to collaborate with a prefectural high school in Shimotsuma City, where students, with independence and cooperation, will demonstrate their individuality through filmmaking and self-realize what they want to do in the project, aiming to make it a new educational proposal and a legacy for the city. The workshop, which will be held for high school students, will produce an original film work under the guidance of a professional filmmaker.

　In addition, an executive committee will be organized with local residents as the core members, and will work with a production company to build a system in which the community will work together as one, from preparation, filming, promotion, and release of the film.

　This will not only promote the film to the outside world, but will also create an opportunity to rediscover local attractions and foster civic pride.

　As the declining birthrate, aging population, and shrinking population become national issues, and the concentration of population in Tokyo is being called for, the entire community will work together in this project to become a "town of choice".

　In this film production, one feature film (shot in Shimotsuma City) and two short films (shot in Shimotsuma City, one of which will be directed by Kou Shibasaki. The director of the other film will be announced at a later date), three short films made from public submissions, one short film made in a workshop for high school students, and a making-of film highlighting the activities of Shimotsuma citizens, including the executive committee members.

Hiroshi Kikuchi, Mayor of Shimotsuma City

Chikara Ito, Producer

■The "Shimotsuma Academy" aims to learn and "the essence of the power of film

　A major key to this project is the establishment of an educational program that will run in parallel with the film production project. Various contents will be provided on the base of the educational program, and in 2026 and 2027, students will have the opportunity to actually experience the special experience of film production.

　By taking the opportunity of the film production project to create an unprecedented "learning" environment, we hope to focus on fostering people who are aware of their own dreams and hopes, and who will be able to survive in the future society. We have named this project "Shimotsuma Academy" and will continue to promote it.

　The goal of the "Shimotsuma Academy" is to maximize the power and potential of film, not only to acquire knowledge and skills, but also to nurture the "human skills" that will be required in society in the future.

　In the field of filmmaking, the ability to face questions that have no right answers, to imagine other people's lives, and to find value in everyday life is concentrated.

　Shimotsuma City sees this as the "essence of the power of film" and hopes to establish "learning that nurtures human ability," which is indispensable in this era of rapid change, in the local community.

The ability to face questions for which there are no right answers and to think things through on one's own.

The ability to imagine and live together with others, while being attentive to their backgrounds.

The ability to see the value in everyday life and connect it to the future.

We will disseminate these lessons from Shimotsuma City to the next generation, starting with films.

The circulatory regional model that "Shimotsuma Academy" is aiming for

　The "Shimotsuma Academy" is not a project that is completed in a single year.

　By building a system in the community whereby human resources who have been nurtured through this project can pass on their experiences and learning to the next generation, we will create a cycle whereby the community nurtures its people and their growth leads to the nurturing of the next generation.

　Through this cycle, we aim to make the local love for Shimotsuma stronger and richer.

Learning Cycle (Mentor 0B System)

　Students and young people who participate in the "Shimotsuma Academy" are continuously involved as leaders of the next generation, passing on their own learning and experience to the next generation, thereby accumulating learning and experience in the community. This cycle will form the foundation for Shimotsuma's unique human resource development.

Development into Industry and Local Activities / Value Creation for Immigrants and Settling in Shimotsuma

　The "ability to communicate," "ability to attract," and "ability to tell stories" cultivated through film will be applied to agriculture, commerce, tourism, and regional activities. Furthermore, by communicating the learning environment itself as "Shimotsuma's appeal from an educational perspective," we aim to visualize the richness of learning for the child-rearing generation and the culture of nurturing people throughout the region, and develop it as a value that will lead to immigration and permanent residence.

We are pleased to announce that the conditions for filming at the heliport have been relaxed and that we are now able to accept interviews.

The Minato Mirai Heliport is not only a sightseeing flight facility, but also provides media coverage, heliport location shooting, aerial photography, and also accepts medical helicopters.

Minato Mirai Heliport located in the center of Yokohama

Yokohama Sky Cruise URL: https://www.skycruise.jp

Background

The Minato Mirai Heliport has been in operation for 37 years this year since the Yokohama Expo was held in 1989, and has supported helicopter operations during this time without incident.

Although there have been administrative restrictions on filming inside the wharf where the heliport is located, the conditions for filming at the heliport have been relaxed. We are pleased to distribute this press release as a new spot to receive filming inside the heliport.

■ Contents

Few commercial helicopters accept night flights for the general public, and those located in the center of the city are even more limited. It is a rare spot "only available in Yokohama" where you can see the night view of the city right after takeoff.

Although there are certain conditions for filming dramas, commercials (PV), etc. on location at the heliport, we have a track record of filming at heliports, and we provide filming support.

Many heliports in the Tokyo metropolitan area are not available for filming or are in remote areas. The central Yokohama area, which is often exposed in dramas and commercials, has the advantage of efficient itineraries for film crews and performers.

■Caution

The location at the tip of the wharf offers a clear view and an area of approximately 3,600m2, making it suitable for filming on the ground, but the wharf is managed by Yokohama City. Please note that there are certain conditions for permission for filming on location at the heliport, depending on the content of the filming. Please note that in principle, filming that does not require a helicopter is not permitted.

The heliport is one of the few places in the Port of Yokohama where filming is permitted. Depending on the scale of the filming and the number of staff members, including extras, the procedures will be carried out in cooperation with the City of Yokohama.

Inquiries about filming

Please provide us with the following information when inquiring about coverage and on-location filming.

The date and time of the shooting, including a backup date.

Details of the shooting (including in-flight shooting of actors, ground shooting, extras, etc.)

Whether cranes, camera rails, etc. will be used, the number of film crew members, and the number of vehicles on standby, such as location buses.

Exposure media (TV program, commercial, PV, still or movie, etc.)

Depending on the time of day and scale of the event, Yokohama City's instructions may be required due to the surrounding area.

We will ask for details and discuss costs and permit conditions at the time of location scouting.

For this selection process, JKA has established strict judging criteria that emphasize not only "speed" but also "overall ability," which is necessary to be active as a professional athlete in the future. The JKA selected the most promising talents by conducting a multifaceted evaluation in a fair and impartial environment.

Background of the Rigorous Selection Process and Expansion of the Support Limit

Candidates were selected from a large number of applicants from all over Japan through a rigorous document screening process. At the camp, the final selection stage, a practical skill evaluation including reverse driving and special layout was conducted under the cooperation of Sugo Corporation, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. and Dunlop Tire Corporation, using thoroughly equal conditions (performance-adjusted engines and standardized tires).

In addition to Mr. Naoki Yamamoto, Representative Director, Sho Tsuboi, Hideki Yamauchi, and Kazutaka Hiramine, all top drivers in Japan, participated in the judging as selection committee members. In addition to driving, "qualities as an athlete" were comprehensively evaluated through interviews, discussions, and behavioral observation during the period. As a result, the committee found more promising candidates than expected and decided to provide support to a total of seven athletes, expanding the number of athletes to seven.

Transparency and Fairness in the Selection Process

In selecting the next generation of talent, JKA has created a thorough environment to determine "true ability" that is not dependent solely on results.

1. Thorough Equal Conditions

In order to eliminate any advantage or disadvantage due to equipment, the organizer collectively manages and lends engines and uniform tires. Furthermore, by reversing the course and adopting a special layout, we evaluated not the amount of prior practice, but the ability to respond on the spot and pure driving sense.

2. Multifaceted Evaluation by Top Drivers

Selection committee members, who are active top drivers, observed not only time measurements, but also interviews, group discussions, and behavior during the waiting period. From a professional point of view, in addition to "speed," the committee members strictly evaluated the overall abilities of the applicants, such as "relentless inquisitiveness for growth," "direct attitude toward the competition," and "enthusiasm.

3. Dialogue-oriented planning

After the selection process was completed, we not only notified the applicants of the results, but also engaged in careful communication with the selected athletes and their parents. We discussed in depth their individual goals and challenges, and how they would balance their studies, and after reaching a mutual understanding, a medium- to long-term activity plan was formulated, leading to the announcement of a full support system.

■FY2026 Selected Athletes and Expansion of the Support Framework

As a result of the above rigorous screening process, a greater number of promising talents were identified than initially anticipated (up to five), and JKA has decided to expand and restructure its support framework in order to provide equal opportunities for growth to young people with potential, rather than limiting opportunities based on the initial quota.

The following seven players have been selected for support.

1.Designated athletes (JKA top): 2 athletes

Athletes in the phase of establishing a solid foundation as athletes, aiming for victory in the highest level of competition in Japan.

2. selected athletes for the Challenge (JKA Challenge): 5

Name ： Age

Shundo Kobayashi：12 years old

Takumi Tsurugai：age 11

Akuma Hisada: age 12

Seiya Murasugi: age 13

Lloyd Kaisho and Peter: age 11

Establishment of the "JKA Scholarship System

From this year, JKA will begin operating its own support system to provide more precise support for each athlete's current situation and goals. This system will be implemented with the following two components.

Activity Support

To ensure that talented athletes do not give up their challenge for financial reasons, we will provide scholarships (activity funds) to create an environment in which they can continue their challenge.

Support for growth

In addition to driving skills, we provide a multifaceted training program to develop the physical, mental, nutritional, and social skills necessary to become a professional driver.

Future Prospects

The selected athletes will begin training in February. The details of the funding source, partner companies, and coaching system that will support this program will be announced in early March.

Share for good!" is an educational activity measure launched at Coppice Kichijoji in March 2022 to encourage people to think about sustainability by sharing "good ideas" that lead to a richer life from familiar places.

This year, we collaborated with the popular picture book series "The School of the Bear" to make the event more accessible and understandable for children, and we hope it will be a good opportunity for them to learn about sustainability.

Kiso Nezuko Ukon Geta with brown cotton denim nose

Kiso Nezuko Ukon Geta with brown cotton denim snare 2

This time, we have created "Ukon" type geta that allows you to walk lightly on modern paved roads as if you were wearing sneakers, while maintaining the traditional geta's texture.

Beyond the boundaries of "Japanese" and blending into your everyday wardrobe

Geta are no longer just special footwear for yukata.

This work uses a wide stand (Ukon type) with gentle curves. Because they are stable and feel comfortable on bare feet like sandals, they can be coordinated with any style, from casual Western clothing such as denim and chinos to the standard relaxed wear of samue and jinbei.

It is an uplifting feeling like when you change into your favorite clothes and put on your favorite shoes.

With this pair of shoes, we propose "everyday life in which going outside itself becomes a purpose.

The Functional Beauty of "Ukon Geta," a Geta that Makes Science of Modern Walking

Compared to traditional two-tooth clogs, the "Ukon" type has a wider ground contact surface and a reduced height, making it one of the most comfortable shapes for modern people to walk in.

Excellent cushioning and stability

Nezuko" grown in the harsh nature of Kiso is lightweight, water-resistant, and has moderate elasticity. The backside is covered with non-slip rubber to prevent slipping even on station platforms and tile floors, making it safe to walk on.

A light step for your daily "stroll

Designed to soften the impact of walking while facilitating forward kicking. Take a walk with your dog or stop by a café. Just by putting on these clogs, your usual path will be transformed into a pleasant time that will make you stand taller.

Special design: Vintage denim and fine leather

For the snare, which wraps around the foot, we adopted "brown cotton denim," a material that becomes more durable as it is used more and more.

Brown cotton denim nose strap

The unique deep vintage-like look resonates beautifully with the indigo-dyed stand.

Skin-friendly leather specification

Soft, high-quality leather (brown or white) is used for the maetsubo and the back of the nosepiece, which are in direct contact with the feet. This reduces the "foot pain" characteristic of geta, allowing even first-time users to start walking comfortably from the day they receive them.

Footwear to be loved and nurtured for a long time

Geta made by DEN PROJECT are not disposable.

All parts are designed to be repairable and replaceable, and will continue to accompany you through life for several years or even a decade or more through the maintenance of the rubber soles and the replacement of the sandals. The more you wear them, the more they adapt to the shape of your feet and the deeper the indigo coloring becomes, which is one of the great pleasures of owning these clogs.

The production process that underpins the anniversary and commemorative product model. Work scenery designed in stages from the elementary to the final process.

Combination of "differentiation" and "stable supply" required for anniversary and commemorative products

While companies and municipalities continue to diversify their anniversary policies, commemorative products are required to achieve both differentiation and stable supply. However, handmade commemorative products, which are easy to differentiate, have been considered a challenge to introduce on a certain scale.

The corporation has redesigned the production process and realized uniform quality and a stable supply through the division of labor. We have built a system that is capable of handling introductions above a certain scale, such as anniversary commemorative items and government-related projects.

Since the company's establishment, the cumulative production of this model for milestone and commemorative purposes has reached approximately 30,000 units (celebratory chopsticks are converted into pairs) as of February 2026.

Structural Problems with Handmade Products

Traditionally, handmade products have been

Dependence on artists and individual skills

Variation in quality

Unstable delivery time

Difficulty in introducing handmade products in company lots

The introduction of handmade products in a company lot has been considered difficult above a certain scale due to the following reasons. Especially in welfare workplaces, there are differences in training periods and work characteristics, so designing a stable supply is highly challenging.

■Overcoming this difficulty through process design

The greatest feature of this model is that it is not writer-dependent, but has been reconstructed as a process design type.

1. decomposition of the work process and stepwise design

(2) Clarification of quality standards and unification of inspection processes

3. standardization of packaging and final process including visual design

The following three steps have been introduced.

This has enabled us to,

Support for periodic orders

Stable supply on a company-by-company basis

Uniform quality at the novelty level

The new system has realized the following goals.

The integrated design from order to delivery and the stepwise design of the elementary, intermediate, and final processes simultaneously improve skills and ensure a stable supply.

The overall structure of the anniversary and commemorative product model overcomes the weak points of handmade products by combining the skill stage design and stable supply design.

Example of handmade commemorative product production that achieves quality uniformity through process design

■Areas of introduction for milestone and commemorative applications

This model is mainly used in the production of original items for corporate anniversary commemorative gifts and government anniversary projects.

Administrative anniversary commemorative projects

Corporate anniversary commemorative items

Corporate birthday message cards

Year-end festive chopsticks for a hotel

Commemorative cards for school entrance

Commemorative items for year-end events

Commemorative items for year-end events, etc.

All of them are used for milestone occasions in companies and organizations.

Example of corporate message card production. Standardized visual design for mass introduction.

Representative Comment

We have designed items used for milestone occasions to have a structure that supports people's growth. Facing the weaknesses of handmade products and bringing the process up to a standard that would allow for corporate introduction has led to this result."

(Yoko Okudake, Representative Director)

About this release

This case is the organization and release of a milestone and commemorative product design model that overcomes the weaknesses of handmade products.

We present a manufacturing structure that achieves a level that can be introduced into companies in welfare workplaces.

Nezuko Geta Brown Cotton Denim Nanao 1

Nezuko Geta with brown cotton denim nose strap 2

What we want to create is "footwear that changes the scenery with sound.

The "clang, clang, clang" sound you hear when you walk down the street wearing geta. These footsteps are not just the sound of walking; they also change the air of the city and the texture of time.

In one of his essays, the great Meiji-era writer Koizumi Yakumo described the sound of clogs echoing through the streets of Japan at that time as "a cheerful, musical echo. It is a sound that blends into everyday life, yet brings out the beauty of the scenery itself. Resonating with this sensibility, we reinterpreted footwear as more than just a tool for transportation, but as an entity that connects the body, the city, and the landscape.

■Geta as an Acoustic Device for the Town

This work is built around the sturdiness and high reverberation of the mysterious "nezuko" of Kiso. The sound of footsteps echoing clear and clear with a clang in an alley or on a usual walking path. The sound comfortably shakes the senses of the wearer while blending into the everyday scenery, like walking with one's beloved dog. The deep and quiet "Indigo Dye" and "Solid" stand out for the beauty of the wood surface. Each of them adds color to the sound that plays in the city.

The sound of footsteps tells us of healthy steps

The sound of geta is very honest. The way you place your center of gravity and the habits of your footsteps are directly reflected in the sound.

Listening carefully to the sound will help you become aware of how you are walking and your unconscious body movements. As the sound changes, the way you walk will also naturally change. It is not a forced correction, but rather the body's own search for a comfortable balance in accordance with the rhythm guided by the sound.

Traditional Shapes and Designs

We have fused the traditional "double-toothed geta," in which craftsmen's skills are still alive, with modern sensibilities. They are comfortable to wear and provide a beautiful walking posture.

Special attention to the nose strap

A vintage-inspired "brown cotton denim" is used. The mae tsubo (front base) and the back of the snare strap are made of high-quality leather (brown or white) that feels good against the skin, giving the shoes a sophisticated look.

Rare "tootsubo" tailoring

This is a traditional technique that has become rare in the modern world. The robust and dignified appearance created by the handwork of skilled craftsmen is appealing.

Finishing options

Two types of finishes are available: the deep and quiet "Indigo dyed" finish and the "Solid (no dyeing)" finish with the beautiful grain of Kiso nezuko wood.

■Handcrafted by skilled craftsmen and a mechanism that will stay with you for a long time

This work is produced by relaying the handiwork of skilled craftsmen in various parts of Japan. Since we carefully make our products according to the production capacity of our craftsmen, the number of products produced per year is limited.

Also, we do not make "footwear to be consumed. All parts of these clogs are repairable and replaceable. While maintaining the rubber of the nose ring and clog teeth, they grow and change in sound and expression with the time of the wearer. We value these clogs as footwear that will continue to accompany people's lives without fading away as time goes by.

OEM and special orders for corporate and brand-related customers are also available.

We can also produce footwear for hotels and inns, as well as special order models for apparel brands. We can offer original specifications that take advantage of regional characteristics, such as changing the nose strap to one made of materials unique to the region, as well as brand logo imprinting.

As a partner in expressing your world view while preserving Japanese handicrafts, we are happy to consult with you individually on lot size and pricing.

Please allow about two months for OEM production.

Curry of the Year 2026] Cosmo Open Fire Kuroshichi Curry Roux

This year, the keyword "black" was the focus of much attention, and products with a variety of concepts were selected by various companies. The product is unique in that it was developed as a "vegan-inspired" curry roux that harmonizes seven black ingredients.

Curry of the Year 2026] Cosmo Open Fire Kuroshichi Curry Roux

The starting point for the development of Kuroshichi Curry was "Delicious curry even for vegans!

The starting point of Kuroshichi Curry was the desire to create a satisfying, rich curry without using animal ingredients.

In order to overturn the image that vegetable-based curries are too light and lacking in flavor, Cosmo Foods utilized its long-established direct flame cooking method and spice technology to create a well-balanced blend of seven different black ingredients. We have drawn out the depth and richness derived from the ingredients.

The name "Kuro-Seven" does not refer to the blackness of the appearance, but rather to the taste created by the combination of seven black ingredients.

The seven black ingredients

Vegan curry roux that goes well with all vegetables

The absence of animal ingredients enhances the flavor and sweetness of vegetables, making it a perfect match for all kinds of vegetables.

One purchaser said, "I didn't realize it was animal-free,

"It has a richness that you would not expect from a product that contains no animal ingredients.

The curry is light after eating and does not cause stomach upset.

"You can enjoy a curry in which vegetables play the leading role.

Vegetables are the main ingredient in this curry.

The fact that this product is chosen not only by vegans and vegetarians, but also as an everyday meal, also contributes to its popularity.

Cooking example (vegetable curry)

Another approach that was highly evaluated amidst the diversification of "black" expressions

Among the award-winning products, there were some curries that expressed blackness as a color by using squid ink and other ingredients.

Kuro-Shichi Curry, however, is a product with a different approach: it is a curry that utilizes black ingredients, but was born from the concept of veganism.

While the theme of "black" has a wide variety of expressions, we consider it very significant that Kuroshichi Curry was recognized as a curry born from the ingredients and the concept of veganism.

Order Amount and Progress

BS-Inforsight was planned and developed as a specialized project management system based on analysis of actual project operations. The system has a full range of functions that lead to successful projects.

The promotion of IT and many other projects involves a variety of human factors that make it difficult to secure profits.

Main enhancement functions

On-site level: Input of WBS unit results, My Portal for each person, communication of issues, and monitoring of own progress.

Visualization" of problem projects, daily monitoring of progress and profit/loss, meetings focused on problem projects

Project management level: Project-based profit forecasting, identification of clients that are putting pressure on management, and evaluation of each project through quantification.

The data that forms the basis of project management is the initial on-site data, which is only the work hours of the tasks for which each person is responsible. The input burden is minimized as it takes only a few minutes each day to complete. Management can see the progress, profit, and completion of each project in graphs such as EV graphs and bubble charts, and can take necessary action on the same day. Management can also use the project results to evaluate the client based on the profit of each client, and to make management decisions based on the difference in profit depending on the size of the project and the genre of the project.

Our clients are mainly in the IT, construction, and manufacturing industries. It is also used to manage the overall schedule for the purchase of large items such as airplanes.

Project management is not an easy task, and many projects are lost due to inadequate project management. From estimation to delivery and support, there are numerous obstacles to clear, and even experienced engineers cannot easily handle them.

BS-Infosight is a project management system that covers the concept of "Earned Value," making it easy to manage development across departments and greatly reducing the workload of project managers and other administrators. It also allows for the management of problems and issues among members of the team. In addition, problems and issues can be shared openly among project members, preventing problems from being postponed. It can be used as a visualized process management and project management support tool that leads projects to success.

DEN Zori1

DEN PROJECT (Location: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture; Operated by: M.G.R. Co., Ltd.) will begin accepting orders for "Hon-datami-omote rubber-soled zori with brown cotton denim nasoori," a modern update of traditional footwear handcrafted by skilled artisans, from February 2026.

DEN Zori 2

The best of traditional techniques: "Takumi no Waza" weaving more than 500 bamboo skins into one pair.

Since the Edo period, "hon-tatami-omote" has been valued for its use in formal wear.

Although the word "tatami" is generally associated with rushes, in the world of high-end footwear, it refers to natural bamboo bark.

This product is made of thinly torn bamboo bark, and skilled craftsmen weave it evenly with their fingertips, one by one, without twisting. This intricate weaving is the secret to the superb comfort and dignified beauty of the sole.

Two colors are available: the standard "Chatake," which takes full advantage of the texture of the bamboo skin, and the chic "Karasu," which has been dyed.

Hybrid Structure" to Support Modern Walking

While maintaining a traditional appearance, we pursued practicality for city walking. The midsole is made of high-density EVA material with excellent cushioning and durability, with black marble in a wood grain pattern. In addition, by applying slip-resistant rubber to the entire outsole, the shoes can be worn in any location, such as on the road surface after rain, without worry.

Design features: brown cotton denim and leather texture

The nose is made of "brown cotton denim," which becomes more durable as it is used more and more. The mae tsubo (the part that touches the fingers) and the sole of the sandal are made of high-quality leather (brown/white) that is comfortable to the feet, creating a modern pair that blends well with denim and casual wear as well as Japanese-style clothing.

On March 1, 2026, a new cycle will begin with 165 agents, the largest number ever.

The store will be totally produced by "hanninmae," the same company that created the very popular and famous "Milked Drake," "Maruyama Bagel LOOP," "Fermented Milk Butter Honpo," "SiOKUMA BAKERY," "Ushiyotei," and "Cow Dancing the Waltz," as well as other products, design, and other aspects. The cutting-edge artisans of Hokkaido have joined forces to bring you smiles through their brand, using octopus from Rausu, Hokkaido as the main ingredient.

The octopus used in Nakayoshiya's takoyaki is a large octopus boiled on the beach by fishermen in Rausu Town, Hokkaido, and boasts of being "big and thick, but very soft.

For those who simply want to savor the taste of the octopus, we recommend the "Specialty Salted Takoyaki," which is coated with "Lausip," a salt made from Rausu's deep sea water. It is very smooth and silky to the palate.

For those who want their takoyaki always hot, we recommend the "Sauce Takoyaki," which is covered with a generous amount of homemade sauce. There are also five other types, including cheese, teritama, and cod roe mayo.

In addition, we also offer shrimp yaki with shrimp instead of octopus. There are also 5 kinds of takoyaki. Tako? Shrimp? For those who are not sure which to choose, we also offer the "Founded Octopus & Shrimp Nakayoshi Maki". We aim to be a restaurant that can be enjoyed by a wide range of customers, including local families, students, and men and women of all ages.

What is "Takoyaki & Shrimp Nakayoshimori"?

In order to offer new products loved by people of all ages, from children to the elderly, we focused on takoyaki, a Japanese national dish, and shrimps, which are loved by many people. Nakayoshiya is a restaurant specializing in takoyaki and shrimp omelet.

The restaurant uses large octopus boiled on the beach using a method handed down from generation to generation by Rausu-machi octopus fishermen in Hokkaido, which gives the octopus a large, thick, yet soft texture. The tane is made from a unique blend of "sara-sara" flour from Hokkaido, which is combined with bonito broth to create a moist, light takoyaki with a smooth texture.

The most popular "Famous Salt Takoyaki" uses "Lausip" salt made from Rausu deep sea water, which has a smooth and silky taste, allowing you to taste the true quality of the octopus ingredients. The "Popular Tappuraa Cheese Takoyaki", which is covered with a generous amount of tappuraa (the highest quality cheese), is also popular among women.

■Comments from Sho Nakade, a Rausu fisherman and wholesaler from the knot collection

The peak fishing season for Rausu octopus is from December to January. The octopus grown in the cold environment of Rausu are larger than octopus caught elsewhere.

When catching octopus, the most important thing to keep in mind is the hook with which the octopus is caught. If the hook is bad, the octopus will not be caught. Therefore, the staff and I make the ropes by hand, looking at each needle one by one. If the heat and time are wrong, the octopus will become hard quickly, so we have to be careful to find the perfect balance. There are not many ways to eat octopus, but boiled octopus is delicious, and raw octopus is also delicious. I hope you enjoy the various textures of the head, legs, and mouth. We will do our best to serve you delicious octopus! We hope that as many customers as possible will try Nakayoshiya's takoyaki!"

Healing pianist Nene performs“music that accompanies life,” inspired by time spent with cherished beings.

In recent years, the average life expectancy of dogs and cats has been increasing. According to a survey by Anicom Insurance (pet insurance policy data), the average life expectancy of dogs is 14.1 years and that of cats is 14.5 years. While more and more people are adopting pets as family members, social support for the deep grief caused by the loss of a pet is still insufficient. Pets are legally treated as personal property, and corporate bereavement systems and public loss-care support remain limited.

As a result, many people find it difficult to have their grief understood by those around them, and in many cases, they become isolated. In fact, many people share their feelings on social media using hashtags such as “#petloss.” It is against this backdrop that we decided to launch this program.

The goal of this program is not to “get over” the loss, but to support a continuing relationship with the departed pet — something that continues in a different form. Applications will be accepted from March 2026.

A new way of support that does not presuppose “getting over” the loss

The grief of pet loss does not fade away linearly with time. Tears may well up the day after you think things have settled down, or you may suddenly break down even after several years have passed.

Yet in reality, many people are hurt by comments such as, “Are you feeling better now?” or “Why don’t you get another pet?” This program is designed to provide a quiet and safe space where people can face their grief without being pressured into a rushed recovery.

Isolation caused by the gap between systems and feelings

Many people feel that pets are family, yet find it difficult to take time off work or receive understanding from those around them. While some companies have introduced pet bereavement policies, support across society as a whole remains limited. While systems have not caught up, emotions are left behind — and this gap often leads to isolation.

This program is an attempt to create a small, safe place where people can gently hold their feelings in response to this “void.”

Shining a Light on Love Changes the Quality of Grief

In this program, while accepting grief without denial, we gently shine a light on the love and memories shared with the departed pet. Through music sessions, participants quietly reflect on the time they spent together, and if they wish, opportunities for dialogue through animal communication are also provided.

Through this process, participants are guided toward a quiet transformation — from the pain of “loss” to a sense of continuing, invisible connection.

This is not about forgetting or bringing the relationship to an end. It is a process of rediscovering the love received from a cherished companion.

This program is not a medical treatment. If you are experiencing mental or physical distress, please consult a medical professional.

■What lies beyond the loss

When the shock of loss is strong, even looking at photos can be painful. And yet, life with a pet is often one of the most precious and shining chapters in a person’s life.

This program does not erase grief; rather, it creates an opportunity to gently look again at the love that truly existed. It is a quiet time to rediscover that the relationship with a beloved pet does not end, but continues in another form.

A peaceful memory of a cherished existence.

Outline of the program

Starts: April 2026

Applications open: March 2026

Format: Online

Target: People who have lost their pets (dogs, cats, and all other companion animals)

Program Contents

This program is designed to support an ongoing relationship with a departed pet, not to end it, but to help participants carry that connection forward in a new form.

Main contents include:

- Monthly group sessions  (6 sessions in total / participation is optional)

- First session: 90-minute individual session

- From the second month onward: ongoing message-based support

- An online community where participants can share stories and memories of their beloved pets (available even after the program ends)

- Optional monthly support after the initial six-month period

These six months are not a time to end grief, but a time to quietly carry the love received from that companion into the rest of one’s life.

Program details and application announcements will be shared via the official LINE account. The program introduction page can be found at the link below, and more detailed information will be released as it becomes available.

Healing pianist Kine-Nene is a musician who brings quiet comfort to people in moments when they face life’s challenges.

In recent years, the average life expectancy of dogs and cats has continued to increase. According to a survey by Anicom Insurance* (pet insurance policy data), the average life expectancy is 14.1 years for dogs and 14.5 years for cats.

Against this backdrop, pets aged seven and older — considered to be in their senior years — now account for approximately 60% of all dogs and cats. As a result, more households are spending daily life with pets undergoing treatment for chronic illnesses, cancer, neurological disorders, and other conditions.

At the same time, support systems addressing the psychological burden and anxiety experienced by pet owners during the recovery period remain insufficient.

https://www.anicom-page.com/hakusho/

This program is not a medical treatment and does not replace or guarantee the effectiveness of veterinary care.  

It is an initiative designed to help create a peaceful home environment during the convalescent period.

“Another kind of support” is needed alongside medical care.

Hospital visits, medication, dietary management, and daily nursing care — owners devote a great deal of time and energy to supporting their pets through treatment.  

However, there are often few opportunities for caregivers themselves to focus on their own tension and anxiety, even though they are the ones providing constant support.

In some cases, a strong sense of responsibility and love can lead to prolonged mental and physical strain.

This program focuses not on treatment itself, but on gently calming the atmosphere and daily environment at home where pets spend their recovery period.  

From a perspective different from medical care, it supports the creation of a space where peace of mind can circulate.

A moment of peace and reassurance, embraced by sound and warmth.

Creating an environment where peace of mind — not anxiety — can circulate.

When moments of tension begin to soften and breathing naturally relaxes, the atmosphere of the entire home gently becomes calmer.

As caregivers spend time in a more peaceful state, the energy within the home settles as well, helping to create an environment where pets can rest and recover in comfort.

In this program, the focus is not on “solving” problems, but on creating moments of ease and reassurance throughout the recovery period.

■ Program Overview

This program is offered online as a monthly subscription.

Live sound sessions (twice a month)  

Participants join simultaneously and share peaceful moments through music.  

These sessions are not intended to provide individual treatment or diagnosis.

Mini sound files for daily use  

Short audio files are provided for easy use at home.  

They can be used before or after hospital visits, during caregiving time, or in other everyday situations.

Participation style  

No need to turn on your camera or speak.  

You can participate comfortably even if your pet is sleeping or resting in another room.

Future Development

This program will begin in April 2026.  

Applications will open in March 2026.

In the future, we plan to create an online community where pet caregivers can connect with one another in a safe and supportive environment during the recovery period.

Message

What kind of atmosphere do we share as we spend our days together?  

Even within the reality of medical treatment, it is still possible to create moments of peace.

This program is offered as another option — one that supports the emotional well-being of families from a perspective different from medical care.

To commemorate this event, the 80th anniversary commemorative bathing coupon tickets (6 coupons), which have been requested by many customers, will go on sale today at a special price of 4,290 yen (tax included; regular price 5,280 yen). At the same time, a 30% discount on the lactobacillus supplement "11-1 (Ichi-ichi no Ichi-)" will be offered, and the same number of tickets will be given away as gifts.

80th Anniversary Greeting

Special coupon tickets on sale

Three commemorative projects to mark the 80th anniversary of the company's founding

In the 80 years since its establishment in 1946, Yutopia Co., Ltd. has been in the construction materials business and then in the hot spring business, drilling for hot springs in 1975 and commencing hot spring operations in 1977. As a result, the quality of the springs has been recognized nationwide, winning first place in the "health promotion" category of the Onsen General Election for three consecutive years (2019-2021) and first place in the "good hot water" category of the NIFTY Onsen Ranking for two consecutive years (2023-2024).

In recent years, as people have become more health-conscious, more users have sought out the intrinsic value of hot springs, and as of February 2026, the aging of Japan's population has further increased interest in preventive medicine and health maintenance, and "hot spring cures" utilizing hot springs are once again attracting attention. In particular, as expectations for scientifically based hot spring therapy are rising, the facility, as one of the largest radon hot springs in Japan, offers an "inhalation hot spring" where radon can be taken in not only through bathing but also through breathing, and is supported by many people seeking to improve their health.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the facility, the company will simultaneously launch three projects to show its appreciation: "commemorative bathing coupons," "special sales of lactobacillus supplements," and "lottery gift campaign," which have been particularly requested by customers.

Details of the 80th anniversary project: Three special offers for a great value experience

Project 1] Limited 80th Anniversary Commemorative Bathing Coupon Tickets on Sale

Commemorative coupon tickets, the most requested by customers, will go on sale today, February 23, at a special price of 4,290 yen (19% discount, including tax) for a 6-pack of coupon tickets, compared to the regular price of 5,280 yen. This is a limited offer and will end while supplies last. The coupons can be used for one-day bathing until the end of December 2026.

6-pack coupon tickets

The regular price for one-day bathing at this facility is 880 yen for adults, but with these coupon tickets, the price is 715 yen per use, a savings of 165 yen per use. The high quality of the hot spring baths, which have been ranked No. 1 in Japan in the Onsen General Election and Nifty Onsen Ranking, is attracting a lot of interest, especially among repeat visitors, as an opportunity to experience hot springs at a more reasonable price.

Project 2] Special sales of lactic acid bacteria "11-1 (Ichi-ichi-noichi)

Lactobacillus supplement "11-1", jointly developed by the University of Tokyo Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Antenna Corporation, will be on sale at a 30% discount to commemorate the 80th anniversary. In addition, visitors will receive a gift equal to the number of items they purchased. In other words, this is a very economical plan with a 65% discount in effect.

Lactobacillus "11-1" Ichi-ichi

The specific prices are as follows

1 unit: Normally 9,790 yen (including tax) → 6,853 yen + 1 more unit as a gift for visitors

3 pieces: Usually 27,500 yen (including tax) → 19,250 yen + 3 more pieces as a gift for visitors

6 pieces: Usually 52,800 yen (including tax)→36,960 yen + 6 more pieces for visitors

12 pieces: Regularly 99,000 yen (including tax) → 69,300 yen + 12 more pieces for visitors

11-1" is a lactic acid bacteria supplement developed to further enhance the effects of hot spring bathing, and supports health building from the inside out. By using it in combination with hot spring bathing, synergistic effects of "health, beauty, and rejuvenation" can be expected.

Project 3】Line registration limited to 80 people present campaign

80 people who register as friends on the company's official LINE will be selected by drawing to receive either a special 6-pack of coupon tickets or a copy of "Let's Create the Best Hot Spring in Japan (book)".

The application procedure is simple.

Official personal line: https://lin.ee/hvehM32

Official corporate line: https://lin.ee/8b8E4XP

Once you have registered as a friend on either of the above, an application form link will appear on the screen. The results of the lottery will be announced when the products are shipped.

Let's build the best hot spring in Japan!

The book "Let's Create the Best Hot Springs in Japan" is a book by Yoshiteru Hayakawa, the president of the company, describing his passion for the hot spring business and his commitment to the quality of hot springs, and has become a hot topic among hot spring fans.

Multiple times ranked No. 1 in the nation, highly regarded "triple effect

The greatest feature of Ryuoh Radon Onsen is the "Triple Effect," which is a combination of the following three elements.

Overall view of the building

1. One of the largest radon hot springs in Japan (alpha radiation therapy)

We use one of the largest radon generators in Japan to produce hot springs containing high concentrations of radon. Radon is a naturally occurring noble gas that has long been the focus of attention in the field of hot spring therapy. The facility is highly supported by long-term residents for the purpose of spa therapy as a "hot spring to inhale" where radon can be experienced through both bathing and breathing.

2. "Hot springs with good hot water" using highly concentrated reduced hydrogen water

By using highly reductive hydrogen water in the hot spring water, we are pursuing a good feeling on the skin. This approach has been highly evaluated, and the spa was ranked No. 1 in Japan in the "good hot water" category of the Nifty Hot Springs Ranking for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024.

3. Beauty Onsen POLA-certified "Melting Purifying Onsen

The hot spring is gentle to the skin and is highly supported, especially by female users who are highly interested in beauty. The ingredients contained in the hot spring gently remove dead skin cells from the skin, resulting in a skin beautifying effect.

Thanks to these combined features, the facility has also been ranked No. 1 in the nation in the "health promotion" category of the hot spring general election for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021. As a hot spring where one can experience "health, beauty, and rejuvenation" at the same time, it is favored by people of all ages.

■Future Prospects: Contributing to the health of all people through the quality of the spring water

Mr. Yoshiteru Hayakawa, president of the company, commented on the occasion of the 80th anniversary as follows.

Since the establishment of the spa, we have been supported by local residents and customers from all over Japan, and today we are celebrating our 80th anniversary, a major milestone. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you. We will continue to pursue the quality of our hot springs and realize our wish to 'make beautiful skin, rejuvenate from the cellular level, be close to people with intractable diseases, and make all people with illnesses healthy' through our hot springs. We hope that this commemorative event will allow more people to experience the qualities of our hot springs and help them to refresh their bodies and minds and improve their health.

The company will continue to pursue the intrinsic value of hot springs and contribute to local communities and health-conscious people throughout Japan by providing scientifically based hot spring therapy.

Eirakuya's confectionary artisans have handcrafted this seasonal amber sugar to lock in the rare fragrance and rich fruit of the "king of citrus fruits," the Setoka no Shizuku.

Setoka no Shizuku

Setoka

Setoka is a crossbreed of Kiyomi, Encore, and Marcotte, with a high sugar content of 13-14 degrees and a distinctly sweet taste. It is characterized by its high sugar content of 13 to 14 degrees, and its sweetness is outstanding. The texture of Setoka melts in your mouth, and its juicy flavor fills your mouth with delight.

Its sweetness can be felt directly due to its low acidity, and it has been described as "the richest and sweetest citrus fruit". It is popular as a sweet, juicy, high-end citrus, but it is a labor-intensive variety to cultivate.

The Setoka tree has numerous sharp thorns, making it extremely difficult to cultivate, and it is said to be harder to grow than other citrus fruits. Because of its low production and limited distribution, it is a valuable citrus that is difficult to obtain even when it is in season.

The melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, fresh aroma of Setoka pulp are carefully handcrafted by Eirakuya's confectioners.

The outside is crispy, while the inside melts in the mouth, and the aroma of the fruit can be enjoyed as it is.

This seasonal amber sugar combines Eirakuya's traditional techniques with seasonal citrus fruits.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s National Health and Nutrition Survey (2022) reports that about 40% of people in Japan sleep less than six hours per night, and approximately one in five (20.6%) feel they do not get sufficient rest from sleep.

These findings suggest that constant exposure to information may keep the brain and nervous system in a persistent state of stimulation, affecting both the quantity and quality of sleep.

Today, people are not only saying, “I can’t fall asleep,” but also:

“I don’t feel rested even after sleeping.”  

“I can’t stop thinking.”  

“My mind feels constantly active.”

In an age where such voices are increasingly common, the “Utatane Concert” is not a music concert intended simply for listening to a performance.

There is no need to sit up straight or concentrate.  

Simply lie down and surrender yourself to the sound.

It is a moment to release a mind that is constantly thinking and a body that carries unconscious tension, allowing both to rest within sound and silence.

Until now, sessions have mainly been held in small groups (approximately three participants per session) at a salon café.  

At a music hall, a total of five sessions were held, with around seven to eight participants per session, conducted twice a day over two days and once on another day.

Before the performance, participants begin with a “relaxing tea time,” allowing both body and mind to gradually unwind.  

Afterward, they experience the live performance while lying comfortably on reclining chairs or sofas.  

Following the performance, a gentle “wake-up café time” offers a quiet transition back into everyday life.

Participants shared comments such as:

“I felt deeply rested even in a short amount of time.”  

“My body felt relaxed, almost like after a hot spring bath.”  

“My mind felt clear.”  

“It felt as if unnecessary thoughts had quietly faded away.”  

“I was able to sleep more deeply than usual that night.”

Many participants reported experiencing a deep sense of relaxation and calmness in both body and mind.

Background of the Online Verification Project

At first, Nene believed that this experience could only be created through live, in-person performance.

However, as more concerts were held, participants began sharing comments such as:

“I wish I could fall asleep like this.”  

“I don’t want to return to reality yet.”  

“I wish I could keep resting like this without moving.”

As these voices increased, it became clear that sound may reach the body and senses in meaningful ways regardless of format, leading us to begin verification in an online setting.

For this online project, we plan to recruit free monitors and conduct questionnaire-based evaluations focusing on changes in physical sensations, sleep quality, and thought patterns.

By accumulating both in-person and online data, we aim to explore new possibilities for music-based experiences.

Possibilities for People with Physical Limitations

In the past, a similar music experience was offered to a child with severe physical disabilities who was rarely able to vocalize spontaneously.

Immediately after the concert, the child showed vocal expressions that had not been seen before, allowing us to observe how sound may influence the body and the senses.

Because this experience does not require maintaining posture or actively listening to music, we believe it may also have potential for people who find it difficult to sit up or move around.

Healing Pianist Nene Profile

Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music.  

Rooted in classical piano, she has developed a unique performance style that draws out rich overtones.

Having been deeply supported by music herself, she focuses on the influence of sound on both mind and body.

Based on the idea that sound vibrations may affect physical responses such as breathing, muscle tension, and the autonomic nervous system, she offers music experiences that help quiet the mind and release physical tension in today’s information-overloaded society.

The small-group “Utatane Concert” adopts a format in which participants lie down and surrender themselves to sound.

Rather than requiring active listening or maintaining posture, it creates a space where participants can experience calmness through moments of “doing nothing.”

Currently, in addition to in-person sessions, she has begun a project to verify this experience in an online format.

Through questionnaire-based evaluations of physical sensations, sleep quality, and changes in thought patterns, she continues exploring new possibilities for music-based experiences.

You can freely talk with each other in various locations in an old private home.

Petit Retreat in Nara," a new service that promotes relationship-building among employees, is an interactive program in which participants can relax and talk with their peers while reflecting on themselves in the extraordinary space of an old private house built in the Taisho era.

The setting is an old private house in Nara built in the Taisho era (1912-1926). It is the perfect place to hold a workshop in a quiet environment, where people can reflect on themselves and naturally engage in dialogue on topics that are difficult to discuss in the workplace. The program is attracting attention as a new internal communication measure outside of the company that deepens trust among employees and promotes psychological safety and increased engagement.

■Purpose and background of the service

While remote work has taken root and business operations have become more efficient, opportunities for small talk and heart-to-heart dialogue in the workplace have been decreasing. As a result, the dilution of ties among employees and a decline in engagement have become issues. In response, we developed this program with the aim of rebuilding trust among employees by providing them with time to talk openly with each other, utilizing Nara's nature, nostalgic atmosphere, and space surrounded by carefully selected tools.

■ Program Features

1. reset the mind in the unusual space of an old house from the Taisho era (1912-1926)

The advantage of holding a dialogue session in a place that is not a usual meeting room, an old private house, is that it allows you to turn off work mode. Meetings, 1-on-1s with supervisors, and discussions with colleagues are often held in conference rooms, and even if they are held in a free space, they are still held inside the company. In a conference room, you are inevitably in "work mode," and business-like thinking takes over, making it difficult to talk about your true feelings or engage in open and frank dialogue.

It is not uncommon for meetings to end halfway, with the clock in one's eyes making it difficult to concentrate, or with a call-out in the middle of a meeting. Therefore, I thought it was important to place myself in "a place that is not the usual conference room" and "a place where I can truly relax" in order to turn off the work mode and return to my true self for a certain amount of time away from my duties. An old house from the Taisho era, which is the exact opposite of a workplace, surrounded by nature and where time passes leisurely, is the perfect place to free one's mind.

Once you step into the house, you will feel a nostalgic atmosphere.

2. psychologically safe dialogue design by experienced facilitators

Career consultants, industrial counselors, and narrative coaches with experience in advising more than 200 companies on human resource development and interviewing more than 3,000 people will be available to discuss work problems, relationship troubles, life transitions (childbirth, childcare, nursing care, job transfer, leave of absence, etc.), mental and physical health, women-specific health issues (femtec), balancing work and private life, career concerns, how to work after middle age, etc. Dialogue sessions are designed for a wide range of themes for various generations.

We offer a variety of programs, such as creating a psychologically safe place for participants while conducting empathic listening, sometimes accompanying them while leaning on them slowly, preparing questions to sort out blurriness and anxiety together, and conducting workshops for self-disclosure through making things.

Experienced outside experts with confidentiality and no conflicts of interest will help the team build a relationship where they can talk frankly.

2. small-group dialogue using all areas of the old house

3. original work to deepen self-understanding and mutual understanding

More and more employees are troubled by workplace relationships, are unable to express dissatisfaction with their work, and are anxious about their future. Simply "having someone listen" or "talking honestly" can lighten their hearts. Sharing this with each other will deepen mutual understanding and create high-quality communication that will benefit business productivity.

We provide an opportunity to return to such a starting point.

In addition to the dialogue time, we will customize the program to suit your needs, such as workshops for coloring clay, bonfires, etc.

The small items found here and there in the old minka house will become materials for dialogue before you know it!

Half-day retreat: 13:00-17:00 (lunch time starts at 12:00)

One-day retreat: 10:00-17:00 (lunch time around 12:00)

Lunch will be provided by Nara's local food delivery service.

Time to share our feelings with each other around the bonfire

Example of the theme of the dialogue

How to create a life career that is unique to you

Life Shift" to live a 100-year life with a rich heart

My History" to find out what makes you who you are

Women's health issues "FemTech

Communication card de talk, etc.

Access

The nearest station is JR Koriyama Station in Nara Prefecture, conveniently located 45 minutes from JR Osaka Station.

Chefs from seven restaurants in Tokyo/Kansai will use carefully selected Nara ingredients and express them in a dish with their own sensibilities. You will be able to taste the charm of the ingredients and the thoughts of the creators. We hope you will experience the story of Nara's food, which has been cultivated through its long history of clean water and a climate with temperature differences surrounded by mountains.
