Looking back, I have walked three 20-year paths: 20 years as a student, 20 years at Mizuho Bank, and 20 years at Trial. And now, I have decided to walk a new 20 years with Inglewood. The world is undergoing drastic changes, including the evolution of technology centered on AI, as well as wars and disasters.
