I will be participating in The Ship for Worth Youth Program

Dear my friends,

Starting today, I will be participating in The Ship for Worth Youth Program 2020 (FY2019), sponsored by the Japanese government.

I will lead the Japanese delegation, consisting of about 120 young Japanese participants, during the program as Japan’s National Leader. I sincerely hope everybody, including me, will make many good friends from across the world on the ship, and greatly broaden our multicultural and international perspective necessary to live in the globalized society.

I will return to my work as a journalist/TV commentator on February 23. During the program, you can reach me by e-mail if need be. I will check e-mails regularly for business purposes.

Lastly, dear PYs! Let's enjoy the greatest voyage together on Nippon Maru to the full.

Thanks and regards,

Kosuke
