Christmas Music TG was successfully held on December 25th.

Thank you to everyone who participated online and supported us. This time I played the role of host and performer. This year, everyone was forced to take necessary measures against COVID-19, and I guess each person had to overcome his/her own issues. It would be great if we could have provided a place for the TG (event) on Christmas Friday to heal the tiredness of the year and maintain vitality.

On the day of the event, with a small number of people, we played music, including Christmas songs, exchanged recent updates,gave presents and so on. The special guest, krystalcube, also showed off her cute singing voice, which greatly increased the attractiveness of the party.

At the Kellogg Club of Japan, which hosted the event, Professor Kotler, the marketing guru,talked about ” marketing of peace”, when he visited Japan. It’s also a good time to look back on your achievements during the year. I thought that music might also play a role as a medium to answer to this question, a medium that conveys a message in an easy-to-understand manner. So, at the event, we played John Lennon’s “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)”. This is a masterpiece song suits perfectly for this purpose. The Double Fantasy Exhibition has been held in Roppongi, too, so their activities are given attention here.

In terms of content production and technology, there are some parts that we did quite enthusiastically in the limited resources and preparation time. In the above “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)”, Oggy collaborated with krystalcube by real-time audio synchronization in a remote place. The two of us never met offline this year, but repeated online rehearsals and experiments for the TG event. Other participants also sang/hummed and co-starred through Zoom. There should be many points to improve in quality, but there are excitement and empathy when new things are opened up, such as in the early days of radio.

Here is the link to the latest music video of krystalcube (+ Yoshihiro Yuki), who made the valuable guest appearance, so please have a look.

Oggy’s Column #5 (in Japanese)!
最終回！
連載コラム『“未来の楽しみを創造する「アントレ×エンタメ」とは?』

最終回(第5回)は、「コンテンツ・マーケティング」の簡単なご紹介です。
過去から将来への流れを踏まえた、「今」の活動の一つとして書きました。
まだまだ模索中の分野ですが、楽しく掘り下げつつ世への貢献になれればと。

皆様にとって、何らかの考える材料やキッカケになれば幸いでございます！
一旦連載は終了となりますが、書き足りないことなどは、今後の時代の変化などにも合わせてまたいつかシェアできればと思います。

My new column article (#4), written in Japanese, has been released at Kellogg Business Style Japan.

コラム記事『“未来の楽しみを創造する「アントレ×エンタメ」とは?』 の第4回目がリリースされました。

I wrote about the next steps.

今までのあらすじ:

1. 今がどういう時代なのか、どんな生き方をしたいのか
2. その時代に、エンタメはどんな変化をするのか、なぜ自分は音楽か
3. その時代の延長線に、エンタメはどんな究極形に進むのか
4. その究極形に向かって、次のステップは何なのか　←　イマココ

今回は「次のステップの7大予測」というお題で、仮置きした究極形への途中経過にあたる「次のステップ」について、項目ごとに考えてみました。アントレプレナシップとは何か、について一つの考え方も示したつもりです。

皆様にとって、何らかの考える材料やキッカケになれば幸いでございます！

It has been really a long, long time since the last update.

Basically I am doing all right. Many things happned after that, but I just wanted to give you the latest update as of today.  I have left the company I used to work for at the end of April, and also completed the master program in June. So, I left Evanston (near Chicago) already and am currently staying in Silicon Valley in Calofornia to meet my old friends. Then, I will go back to Japan next week finally.

I would like to thank everyone for the amazing years, and hope to stay in touch!

Quote from http://www.chicagoevents.com/event.cfm?eid=123 

The Fountain Square Art Festival boasts two-and-a-half decades of success as one of the most important art festivals in the Midwest. In 2005, Fountain Square Art Festival was ranked by the Sunshine Group in the top 50 of the best art festivals nationwide.

The festival is located on six city blocks in downtown Evanston amid newly built luxury condominiums, offices, restaurants such as Wolfgang Puck’s, a bevy of coffee cafes, stores and hotels. A large sculpture garden located in the middle of the festival serves as its focal point. This urban setting creates the perfect ambience for this event, which embodies the word sophistication. More than 250 fine artists show and sell their art to an audience of sophisticated, discerning, upscale, art aficionados and collectors. The event draws approximately 50,000 people who come from the upscale North Shore suburbs as well as Chicago.

This festival has been held at 2 minutes walk from where I live. I enjoyed walking around the area with my wife and just had a cup of lemonade on the street. There was also a cool blues performance.

MMM New Product Innovation Fair is an exhibition event where our MMM (i.e., MBA + MEM program) students display and present their design projects done by their teams during “The Design of Services and Products” class. This spring quarter, each team has been going through an iterative design process including observation, brainstorming, prototyping and so on, and finally had the chance to show the design concept to people now. Although at the beginning of the project there was a little pain until our team came up with a solid design concept, overall it was a fun event and we had a great team collaboration.

This friday we had Japan Night party at the lounge in McManus (Kellogg’s dormitory). It is an event totally run by students and we, Kellogg Japanese student group (mainly 1st year students), provided foods like Sushi, Udon, and Yakitori, unlimited Sake, Japanese games (such as Yoyo-fishing) and performances like Kagamiwari-openings, Enbu (a Japanese martial-arts-style performance), Skit and Dance and so on. Thanks to the great marketing effort, around 350 tickets were quickly sold out! I played Taiko (i.e., Japanese drum) for Enbu, acted in the skit (“Post-MBAs visit Yakuza office”) as a lover of the Yakuza boss, and danced (music: “DJ OZMA”, a Japanese artist)…It was a blast!! It has been a great opportunity to showcase Japanese cultures and people to the non-Japanese classmates, as well as to deepen the internal teamwork and friendship among Japanese students through such intense preparation efforts.
