While filled with fun events like full dedication to club activities and going to fireworks festivals with friends, it is also a crucial time for academics with final exams and mock tests. The straightforward feelings of high school students wanting to enjoy summer to the fullest while also wanting to work hard academically for their future are expressed through the dichotomy of an "angel and devil." The message is that fun and academics are not a dichotomy but can be balanced. Please enjoy Rinon Aiba's expressive performance in a refreshing summer outfit and the cuteness of the angel and devil modeled after her. ■ Comment from Rinon Aiba: I am very happy to have been given such a wonderful opportunity! As I usually balance my studies and activities, I often find myself overwhelmed with homework and test preparation, so I could relate to many parts of this shoot. I was nervous at first, but the staff's warm support allowed me to be natural and enjoy the filming. It was a different kind of experience that was very stimulating for me! Through this work, I hope to deliver some positivity and courage to all the students who are studying hard every day. I hope many people will watch it! ■ Performer Information: Rinon Aiba.

It was memorable to imagine the "study-hard angel" and "no-study devil" with Ms. Aiba and the entire staff. I think the CM turned out to be enjoyable to the very end, with Ms. Aiba's cuteness on full display. I hope this summer becomes an opportunity to power through with the "God-tier Shinkenzemi"! ■ Director Information: Born in 1997 in Hiroshima. After working at Buzz-Claw, moved to Tokyo in 2022.

It utilizes proprietary generative AI, featuring a 24-hour AI question function where students can get answers by simply photographing a problem, and an "AI Tespa function" that automatically creates an optimal study plan from the test scope. Furthermore, it is Japan's first*1*2 home-learning generative AI application, "Visual Explanation," where AI generates and explains diagrams and graphs on the spot, allowing intuitive understanding of difficult content. With about 1,600 video lessons and AI-based practice problems, it supports everything from comprehension to retention and score improvement. *1: "Japan's first" as a technology that creates suitable diagrams when generating answer explanations with generative AI in a home-learning educational app for high school students sold to the general public, where users send images to get answers. *2: Based on a survey of publicly available websites and patent information platforms to see if there are other services that create suitable diagrams when presenting answer explanations.
