    Graduated from Hyogo Prefectural Kobe Kohoku High School

    It's interesting to survey a large number of people and come to one conclusion.

    For example, when it's cold, do people choose clothes with cool colors or warm colors? Are there any trends in the answers depending on gender or age? "Social Survey Exercises" are classes in which students draw conclusions based on data obtained from surveys such as street interviews. I particularly enjoyed the survey on "preferences in comedy." Analysis revealed that women and older people tend to dislike tsukkomi that hit people over the head and vulgar jokes. I gained skills that will be useful even after I enter the workforce, such as the ability to listen and think, how to write easy-to-understand reports, and presentation skills.

    Graduated from Yamanashi Prefectural Hikawa High School

    I discovered the live music and event industry during the COVID-4 pandemic. With the knowledge and drive I gained over the past four years, I set out on my first choice path.

    When I was a high school student during the COVID-3 pandemic, I met a YouTube idol and was greatly encouraged, which led me to become interested in live shows and events. In order to deepen that interest and gain experience that will be useful in the industry, after entering university, I worked as a volunteer at music festivals, a staff member at the university's open campus, and the chairman of the university festival executive committee, acquiring practical skills and knowledge. In addition, when I studied abroad in Korea in my third year, I actively participated in local events and learned deeply about the depth, meaning, and way of thinking of events. In seminar activities, I studied under a professor who researched live shows and music festivals, and while facing the challenges of the industry, I was able to have a concrete vision for my future career. I was able to receive a job offer from my first choice, a concert event company, and I believe that a major factor in this was that my rich experience and learning over the past four years were directly linked to industry research. I hope you will continue to challenge yourself in the things that interest you. I'm sure your future path will open up.
