Most recently, on February 10, 2026, the program was conducted for 115 fifth and sixth-grade students at Kadoma City Futajima Elementary School.

■ Outreach Class Content: "Life Produce" - A Strategy for Achieving a Life That Is Uniquely Yours

This program is designed to help students learn the importance of planning and preparation for the future by experiencing a virtual life through a card game developed by our company. The goal is not simply to earn money, but to aim for the realization of "things you want to achieve" while managing limited time and money.

The program is intended for upper elementary, middle, and high school students and can be utilized in integrated studies, inquiry-based learning, career education, and financial education classes.

■ Student Feedback (Excerpts)

① Impressions of the game

・Knowing what events would happen in life in advance helped me use my time and money effectively.

・It was great that the goal wasn't just to get a lot of money, but to enjoy life.

・I'm glad I got one point, but I realized that you can't redo life from scratch, so it's important to think before you act.

・I realized that time is limited, so I have to use it wisely.

・I got a higher score on my second try, so I think I was able to use my head.

② Advice to their future adult selves based on what they learned

・Maintaining balance is important! Otherwise, you can't live.

・You should value experiences and family. Insurance is very important for peace of mind.

・I realized that while it's good to think about others, having time for yourself is also important.

・If you only do what you like, you'll run out of time, so you have to think and act.

・You never know what will happen in life. You can increase your money, but you cannot increase your time.

By promoting essential financial education and raising awareness of life planning even among the younger generation who have few opportunities to think about money, we hope to help them use money when and where it is needed as adults and ensure they do not give up on their ideal lives.
