今回は「なぜエンタメか、何が変わるのか」というお題で、自分なりの視点を書いてみました。また逆に、書くことによって生み出された視点もありました。
皆様にとっても、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！

I am happy to announce Oggy’s new column series at Kellogg Business Style Japan, written in Japanese.

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.
