Our company endorses 'April Dream,' which aims to make April 1st a day to broadcast dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Shishin Co., Ltd.'
'CCN ENGLISH,' an English education business developed by Shishin Co., Ltd. (Saitama Prefecture, CEO Kazushi Imoto), broadcasts its dream in PR TIMES' April Dream project: 'To create an environment where 10,000 children speak English, together with teachers.'
Our dream is not simply to increase the number of English learning materials.
Nor is it simply to spread convenient tools.
What we truly want to realize is an environment, co-created with teachers, where children treat English not as something to 'study,' but as something to 'speak' in their daily lives.
In Japan, a situation where people study English but cannot speak it has continued for many years.
Many children have learned vocabulary and grammar, solved problems, and taken tests. However, it cannot be said that they have accumulated enough experience in actually speaking English.
We believe that this current situation is not a problem of individual effort, but a structural problem of education.
(Image Caption: Studying English but unable to speak. This project began by facing that structural issue.)
That is exactly why CCN ENGLISH has continued to distribute educational materials completely free of charge, every single day on YouTube since February 2025.
What we have been distributing are not just promotional videos.
They are materials you can actually learn from.
They are practical training sessions.
They are the foundation for seeing, hearing, and speaking English.
We have continued to put them out every day for the sake of this project.
Instead of just saying, 'I wish there were materials like this,'
'We make them ourselves first, deliver them for free, and show them in a usable form.'
That accumulation has led us to today.
Currently, CCN ENGLISH operates based on a group of 5,595 pages of materials and audio-video training.
Furthermore, from March 26 to April 6, 2026, we are continuously distributing a 24-episode YouTube Shorts countdown series leading up to the official launch of this crowdfunding campaign.
These 24 episodes are structured to start from raising the issue, leading to the direction of the solution, the reality, the trust, and the meaning of participating.
In other words, this challenge did not start suddenly.
