[April Dream] Eliminating nail problems worldwide. Expanding "nail knowledge and technology related to health," not just fashion, to educational institutions in various countries to support people's healthy life expectancy and the future of the sports world.

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Nail Health Co., Ltd."

Nail Health Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture; Representative Director: Aki Suehiro), led by a certified Nail Function Improvement Specialist®, has a grand dream of "reducing the number of people suffering from nail problems worldwide through both knowledge and product approaches." What we aim to popularize is not "nails for fashion," but "nail knowledge and technology related to health." By collaborating with health-related schools and vocational schools in various countries to spread this knowledge and technology globally, we aim to solve social issues such as extending people's healthy life expectancy, prolonging athletes' careers by preventing injuries and improving performance, and reducing medical costs through pre-disease approaches and CO2 emissions associated with medical procedures.

■ Our Origin: The 2005 incident that "fashion nails" couldn't save Our company's vision was formulated against the backdrop of two unforgettable origins. It began in 2005 when we encountered a deformed toenail of a young soccer player. At that time, I was deeply troubled and felt powerless by the reality that "nail techniques for fashion" were completely ineffective in dealing with his nail problem. From there, I started to relearn anatomy and physiology from scratch, read medical books, attended doctors' lectures, and spent my days researching papers from around the world.

■ Product Development Initiated to Save One High School Baseball Player While continuing research and support on-site, I then faced the reality that a high school baseball player was suffering from blisters on his fingertips and cracked nails. Commercial products and existing nail oils could not address the condition of his fingertips, and I was frustrated that "there were people I just couldn't reach." This frustration spurred me to action. With the cooperation of research institutions, universities, and local companies in Niigata, I embarked on development myself, resulting in the birth of the protective cosmetic "Re.Pro Mac Serum."

■ Steps Towards the Dream: Collaboration with Educational Institutions Worldwide and the Challenge of Training Practitioners From these experiences, we are convinced that it is essential not only to create excellent "products" but also to pass on the correct "knowledge and technology" of care to the next generation. The core of our expansion into educational institutions worldwide will be the following two educational programs:

1. "Maruto Methodology®" This is a nail care method jointly developed by Representative Aki Suehiro and Maruto Hasegawa Kosakusho Co., Ltd., a manufacturing company in Niigata. Through proper nail clipping and nail care, participants learn the foundations of health, beauty, and sports performance.

2. "Mac Brand Nail Education Program" This is a practical educational program that further refines the sports field of "Maruto Methodology" by incorporating the rich on-site experience and verification of former Major Leaguer Mac Suzuki.

Going forward, we aim to introduce these theories not only in Japan but also as official curricula in health-related schools and vocational schools in various countries. We will also actively engage in "developing teaching materials for training practitioners" with reliable skills to contribute to the future development of foot and nail care technology.

By deploying these two approaches, knowledge and products, on a global scale, we will change the reality that "small nail problems lead to big life problems." If your nails change, your life changes. Please look forward to the challenge of Nail Health Co., Ltd., which aims to make the world healthy from the ground up.
