<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>

<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>

The key thing to understand is that you will never feel 100 percent ready.

Above all, keeping an open mind will allow you to learn many new things about Japan and also about yourself.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Embassy of Singapore in Tokyo held a New Year’s event for Singaporean Residents in Japan recently at the Hotel New Otani. It was fun to gather with fellow Singaporeans and bond over local foods such as Beef Rendang and Bak Kut Teh. It was also surprisingly homey to hear so much Singlish in one room in Tokyo. :) During the National Day celebrations, Merlion statues and Singapore flags were placed everywhere. Also had the opportunity to meet the current Ambassador of Singapore to Tokyo and his wife. <Check out photos &#038; captions below!><br /></p>

It was fun to gather with fellow Singaporeans and bond over local foods such as Beef Rendang and Bak Kut Teh. It was also surprisingly homey to hear so much Singlish in one room in Tokyo. 🙂 During the National Day celebrations, Merlion statues and Singapore flags were placed everywhere. Also had the opportunity to meet the current Ambassador of Singapore to Tokyo and his wife. &lt;Check out photos &amp; captions below!&gt;</em></p>



<p><em>Japan is one of the few Asian countries that does not celebrate the Lunar New Year (FYI, in South Korea, it is known as “Seollal,” or “Eumnyeok Seollal”&nbsp;</em><em>음력</em><em>설날</em><em>), so it was nice to have a celebration with the overseas Singapore community here. Gong Xi Fa Cai &amp; Happy New Year of the Dog!&nbsp;恭喜发财，狗年大吉！</em>☆</p>

<p>シンガポール大使館は色んなシンガポール料理を提供しました。例えば、Beef　Rendang(牛肉ルンダン：ココナッツミルクと香辛料で長時間煮込んだインドネシア肉料理である)やRoti　Prata（<em><strong>ロティ</strong></em><strong>・</strong><em><strong>プラタ：</strong></em>薄い生地が層になっているのが特徴のインド風パンケーキ）やBak Kut Teh（<em><strong>バクテー：</strong></em>マレーシア及びシンガポールの鍋料理である）など…　たくさんいただきました！皆様、シンガポール料理はお好きですか？</p>



<p>面白いことは、シンガポール人がたくさん集まっている時、いつもSinglishという言葉をよく使うのではないでしょうか～　前回はシンガポールの英語「シングリッシュ・Singlish」について書きました。まだ読んでいない方は、もし興味があれば、是非<strong><a href="https://rachelleng.com/singlish-part-1/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Part&nbsp;１</a></strong>と<strong><a href="https://rachelleng.com/singlish-part-2/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="internal">Part ２</a></strong>をクリックしてご覧ください～　^^/</p>

<p>ちなみに、皆さんは新年の抱負って何でしょうか？私は、今まで日本に住んで1年になりました。去年、新しい経験がいっぱいでした。今年は二つの抱負があります。</p>



<p>１）&nbsp;今年は、もっと仕事を頑張りたいと思います。新しいスキルを開発したいし、多様な知識を学びたいと思っています。そして、大事なコミュニケーション能力のために、日本語がうまくなりたいです。</p>



<p>２）&nbsp;日本に住んでいますが、東京以外他のところにあまり行ったことがないです。日本はたくさん綺麗な町があると思います。私にとって、金沢、北海道と沖縄は一番行きたいところです。時間があれば、今年は日本の色んな町を観光に行きたいと思います。</p>



<p>２０１８年を楽しみにしています！</p>
