We endorse April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams.
This press release is the dream of "Kiwiii, Representative of Cylbraille Co., Ltd."
Cylbraille Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, "the Company") was founded by Representative Kiwiii with the concept of being Japan's first company to promote 'oshi-katsu' for visually impaired individuals by selling music works that can be felt and communicated through touch!
Until now, businesses related to visually impaired people have mainly focused on daily life support and volunteer activities. However, this company establishment is in a new, unprecedented field, focusing on 'oshi-katsu,' which has been expanding its share in recent years.
This time, our representative's dream will be featured on the Yamanote Line Dream Train, one of PR TIMES Co., Ltd.'s April Dream projects. *
'To make the braille business a success'
Although it may seem like a reckless challenge, the future of braille is connected to the future of visually impaired individuals.
Furthermore, we are committed to striving for a brighter future for society as a whole.
We kindly ask for your support.
* The placement will be on the hanging poster in the first car.
