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." The larger-than-life heroes and success stories that once captivated us may gradually lose their appeal, while we will increasingly seek characters who explore their own personal journeys and the universal aspects of humanity. I believe that creating the future through our own imagination and creativity is the best way to predict it.
