										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>As the seasons change and the days grow increasingly sweltering, it has been quite some time since my last blog post. I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits.</p>



<p>With 2024 well into its second half, I thought it would be an opportune moment to reflect upon and update on the past six months. It has been a period marked by thrilling developments, new challenges, and heartwarming moments that have significantly shaped both my journey and SeiRogai&#8217;s trajectory.</p>



<p>前回のブログからしばらく間が空いて季節もすっかり変わり、毎日蒸し暑い日が続いていますね。皆様お元気にお過ごしでしょうか。2024年も折り返しを迎えましたので、今回はこの半年間を振り返ってみたいと思います。この期間は、私自身とSeiRogaiに大きな影響を与えた、刺激的な発展、新たな挑戦、そして心温まる瞬間に満ちていました。</p>

<p>This was my first official presentation in Japanese, and although I was initially quite nervous, it was an incredible opportunity to share our ideas and recent progress with a broader audience.

<p>March was a month filled with immense pride and joy for our team! After <a href="https://seirogai.com/seirogai-vr360-virtual-tour-nanto-city-toyama-prefecture/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">months of dedication and hard work since August of last year,</a> we were thrilled to unveil the culmination of our efforts – a breathtaking virtual tour of Gokayama (Ainokura and Suganuma), Nanto City.</p>

<p>On <a href="https://seirogai.com/release-of-nanto-city-vr360tour/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">March 6th, we gathered at the Nanto City Hall</a> to celebrate the completion of our virtual tour with a special launch event. I am overjoyed with the feedback from Mayor Tanaka about how the virtual tour was able to capture the essence of Gokayama, Nanto City’s hidden gems and enable people from around the world to discover its timeless charm.</p>

<p>Once again, March was a totally whirlwind full of milestones for me.</p>



<p>3月にはもう1つ忘れられない大きなイベントがありました。</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>On March 31<sup>st</sup> this year, I had the incredible opportunity to join as a panel speaker at <a href="https://seirogai.com/harvard-business-asia-conference-2024/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">the 30th Harvard Asia Business Conference</a> in Boston!</p>



<p>The Harvard Asia Business Conference is a legacy event with a three-decade-long history of serving as a discussion platform for critical policies and trends shaping modern Asia. This year&#8217;s theme, &#8220;Asian Momentum: Breakthrough Success in Asia and Beyond,&#8221; perfectly captured the dynamic and transformative nature of the region.</p>



<p>3月31日、ボストンのハーバードビジネススクールで開催された<a href="https://seirogai.jp/our-news/harvard-business-asia-conference-2024/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">第30回ハーバードアジアビジネスカンファレンス</a>に、パネルスピーカーとして登壇しました！</p>



<p>ハーバードビジネススクールは30年にわたり、アジアを代表する起業家、専門家、政策立案者、オピニオンリーダーを招き、現代アジアを形成する政策やトレンドについて本質的な議論を行う重要な場です。今年のテーマは「アジアの勢い：アジアとその先の地域での画期的な成功」でした。</p>

<figcaption class="blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption">アントレプレナーパネルのトークをお聞きいただいた皆様、ありがとうございました！<br>Thanks a lot to all those came and listened to our Entrepreneur Panel talk!</figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>At the conference, I shared my insights on SeiRogai&#8217;s journey from ideation to execution at the Entrepreneurship Panel for contributions to driving innovation from Asia to the global stage. Drawing on my experience in the complex yet rewarding market of Japan, I highlighted the importance of digital transformation and cross-border partnerships in today&#8217;s entrepreneur landscape.</p>



<p>アントレプレナーシップ・パネルでは、SeiRogaiでの経験やアイデアから実行に至るプロセスを共有しました。特にデジタルトランスフォーメーションの重要性や国境を越えたパートナーシップの必要性についてお話ししました。</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As a panelist, I had the privilege of engaging in thought-provoking discussions with over 300 participants from various fields. What made this experience even more special was the presence of many business school students among the audience, who were eager to learn from our discussion. Looking back, I believe that the forum was not just a platform for sharing SeiRogai&#8217;s story; it was a valuable opportunity to connect with and inspire the next generation of changemakers.</p>



<p>300人以上の参加者が集まり、進化するスタートアップの現状について熱くディスカッションできたことは、本当に貴重な経験でした。参加者にはビジネススクールの学生も多かったので、今回のプレゼンテーションが次世代を担う方々の活動のヒントになればとても嬉しいです。</p>

<h2 id="reflections-and-looking-forward" class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Reflections and Looking Forward</strong></h2>



<h2 id="%25e5%258f%258d%25e7%259c%2581%25e3%2581%25a8%25e6%259c%259f%25e5%25be%2585" class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>反省と期待</strong><strong></strong></h2>



<p>Half a year has swiftly passed, almost imperceptibly, as time often does when one is fully immersed in meaningful endeavors.</p>



<p>Reflecting on the past months, it has been a tumultuous yet exhilarating journey replete with challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons. It is indeed remarkable how much can transpire in such a brief period. Each experience, whether it presented smooth sailing or obstacles, has been a formative step, intricately shaping both my personal growth and the trajectory of SeiRogai.</p>



<p>As we advance toward the year&#8217;s conclusion, I am filled with a profound sense of introspection and eager anticipation. The achievements thus far have been commendable, yet they only serve as a prelude to the myriad possibilities that lie ahead. The remainder of the year presents itself as a blank canvas, awaiting to be imbued with novel adventures, groundbreaking ideas, and profound connections.</p>



<p>季節の移ろいを肌で感じながらカレンダーを見るとふと気づく時の流れの速さ…今年ももう残り半分ですね。</p>



<p>過去数ヶ月を振り返ると、挑戦や成功、貴重な学びに満ちた波乱の旅だったと感じています。この短い期間にこれほど多くの出来事があったことは本当に驚きです。スムーズに進んだ経験も、障害に直面した経験も、いずれも私の成長とSeiRogaiの歩みを形作る重要な一歩となりました。</p>



<p>年末に向かって進む中で、深い内省とともに大きな期待感を抱いています。これまでの成果は素晴らしいものでしたが、それは未来の無限の可能性への前奏に過ぎません。今年残りの時間は、革新的なアイデアや新しい冒険、深い繋がりを生み出すための真っ白なキャンバスです。</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As the rainy season gives way to the intense heat of summer, I urge you all to take care and remain hydrated. As we continue this journey together, let us embrace the unknown with open hearts and minds, ready to turn every challenge into an opportunity for growth and innovation. Here&#8217;s to a promising second half of the year, filled with success, discovery, and the joy of shared experiences!</p>



<p>梅雨が明けるといよいよ暑い夏本番ですので、皆様も体調に気をつけて、しっかり水分補給をしてください。共にこの旅を続けながら、未知のことに対して心を開き、すべての挑戦を成長と革新の機会に変えていきましょう。成功と発見、そして共に過ごす喜びに満ちた年の後半を迎えられることを願っています。</p>

<p>Have you noticed in Japan how meticulously Christmas decorations go up in December, only to swiftly come down on the 26th for New Year prep? It&#8217;s an interesting practice that got me thinking: maybe we need a &#8220;12 days of Christmas&#8221; marketing campaign here too! (You know, like the carol that celebrates the Christmas season lasting until January 5? It just feels like a shame to pack away all the decorations so quickly when Christmas brings so much joy…)</p>



<div style="height:36px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>日本では12月に細かくクリスマスの飾り付けがされますが、早くも26日には新年の準備のために一気に片付けられることに気づきましたか？興味深い慣習ですね。私は、もしかしたらここでも「12日間のクリスマス」のようなマーケティングキャンペーンが必要かもしれないと考えています！（クリスマスが1月5日まで続くと歌われるあの曲を思い浮かべてみてください。クリスマスがたくさんの喜びをもたらすのに、すべての飾りをこんなに早く片付けてしまうのは少し残念な気がしませんか…？）</p>



<div style="height:36px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The passing year has been a whirlwind of challenges and growth, an incredible journey teeming with innovation and endless exploration. As we bid farewell to 2023, I find myself pausing to reflect on the extraordinary moments and collective achievements that have shaped our path at SeiRogai.</p>



<p>去る年は挑戦と著しい成長の渦巻く1年でした。革新と探求心に満ちた信じられないような旅路でした。2023年を送り出す今、セイロガイの道を築いた特別な瞬間や集合的な成果を振り返る余裕があります。</p>

<p>The final quarter of 2023 was an exhilarating chapter for us. We embarked on a journey into the realm of Virtual Reality (VR) tours, aiming to redefine how we connect with and experience diverse landscapes and communities. Through extensive interviews, meticulous fieldwork, and collaborative dialogues, we meticulously shaped the essence of our VR tour concept. Our recent milestone of completing the <a href="https://www.seirogai.com/seirogai-vr360-virtual-tour-nanto-city-toyama-prefecture/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.seirogai.com/seirogai-vr360-virtual-tour-nanto-city-toyama-prefecture/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"><strong>Gokayama VR360 Virtual Tour </strong>in Nanto City of Toyama Prefecture</a> was a pivotal achievement. It marked our inaugural VR tour outside Tokyo and aligned with the <strong>Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation </strong>initiative supported by the Cabinet Office and Digital Agency of Japan. We uncovered never-before-seen vistas during filming and eagerly anticipate sharing this invaluable experience soon (scheduled release in March 2024).</p>



<div style="height:36px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>2023年の最終四半期は、私たちにとって息をのむような章でした。私たちは、仮想現実（VR）ツアーの世界への旅に乗り出し、多様な景色やコミュニティとのつながり方、経験方法を再定義することを目指しました。徹底的なインタビューや緻密なフィールドワーク、協力的な対話を通じて、SeiRogaiはVRツアーコンセプトの本質を細心の注意を払って形作りました。最近、<strong><a href="https://seirogai.jp/our-news/nanto-city-vr360tour/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">富山県南砺市の五箇山VR360バーチャルツアー</a></strong>の完了は画期的な成果でした。これは東京以外での最初のVRツアーであり、<strong>内閣府とデジタル庁が支持するデジタル田園都市構想</strong>と調和しています。撮影中にあまり見たことのない景色を発見し、この貴重な体験を近くお届けできることを楽しみにしています（リリースは2024年3月予定）。</p>
