message

“Change is out of control. All you can do is be at the forefront of it.”
“The best way to predict the future is to create it”

everyone! I have a feeling that the world of the future will be rebuilt based on "stories" and "values." Tired of the great heroes and success stories you once sought, you'll want to meet characters who continue to explore personal stories and human universals. We believe that creating the future with our creativity is the way to predict the future.
