Hello, this is Miki Uchiki from Hanahiraku.

On April 1st (Saturday), we held a talk session titled “What Advertising Can Do to Create a Society Where People with Disabilities Can Live More Easily” with Dentsu Creative Director, Mr. Hashiguchi, as our guest.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the following individuals and organizations who made this event possible:

Tokyo Newspaper, who arranged the venue and wrote three articles for the event.

Star Publishing, who kindly agreed to publish the picture book and assisted in organizing the contest and event preparations.

Mr. Osamu Fukushima, who served as a judge for the contest and created the panels for the current picture exhibition at Tokyo Newspaper’s 1st-floor hall.

Mr. Hashiguchi from Dentsu, who joined us as a guest for the talk session.

And to all the attendees, including the families of our models Ruka-kun and Yamato-kun, for coming to the event. Over 20 people were present, and we deeply appreciate your support.

I am truly grateful to each and every one of you for your continued support!

I will keep swinging the bat—though it may result in strikeouts (and sometimes even a hit by pitch)—I continue to dream of hitting a home run. Please continue to cheer me on with warmth and encouragement.
