MESSAGE
[ MESSAGE ]
Message from the CEO
New things are interesting.
It is too much fun when the results are conveyed to someone.
If we hear a “thank you,” we are very happy.
That is our identity.
We will continue to be interesting in order to create new “happiness” for many years to come.
Our “Six Core Values” are
the pike for this. Sometimes they also serve as a shield.
To continue to stand as a field player five or ten years from now, we continue to refine our pike and shields today.
