Let's move forward while changing!

Hello, this is Nakamura from AMONG !

The other day, Kaneko made an announcement as per the blog .

Today I will write what I am thinking right now.

It was at the end of September of this year that Kaneko told me that he wanted to move on to a new city .

Rather than being surprised, I knew that I had been worrying about it, so to be honest, I felt a deep sense of relief and deep emotion, thinking, ``You've finally made a decision!'' is.

It's a natural thing to change with time, while holding the feeling of being a little lonely or a little sad under your arm.

It is also written on the scarf “Peach and chestnut three years , persimmon eight years_change”!

In the three years since Kaneko became pregnant and we started raising children, I too have struggled a lot.

As Kaneko's situation was changing day by day, I was constantly trying to figure out how to proceed with AMONG, thinking about what I could do without difficulty .

No, honestly, it's really hard!

However, it is difficult to express how difficult it is for those who support (or should I say?). It's a congratulatory event, and I can see that he's going through a difficult time and is struggling, so I'm rooting for him .

Since the nursery school has started to calm down this year, I talked about this with Kaneko.

“That’s right!”

"You are right!"

↑ Masks and scarves are also used in free combinations.

The reason we were able to come this far together through trial and error is because both Kaneko and I love AMONG, and we are endlessly grateful to everyone involved. I think that's why Kaneko was so worried.

I think it's the same with any job, maybe even a home or a club, but if the good energy of those involved is poured into it, it will gradually grow on its own.

AMONG itself becomes a lively creature.

As Kaneko also wrote, the customers who find AMONG are always (!) bright, energetic, and pleasant customers, even if they are just passing by at a department store.

I think it's the strength of everyone who has helped AMONG grow in this way. I really think so.

Thanks to that, Kaneko and I were able to grow in our own ways, and I feel that each of us decided to move on to the next path.

I rode an elephant in Chiang Mai.

My decision to continue working with AMONG comes from a very natural feeling.

"I'll take care of it!!"

Instead of clenching my fists and saying, ``Wow!'' (this is what I thought when Kaneko got pregnant, lol), I will relax my shoulders and look a little further into the distance. .

“Oh, I wish it was more like this.”

“I want to do this here.”

“I want to make things like this.”

There are many feelings and thoughts.

I'll write more once it's a little more solid!

↑ We are currently preparing for POPUP in December.

I want to update my blog more next year and write about what I'm thinking! lets go!

We hope to continue to work together as a team and continue to deliver more enjoyment to those who use our products .

We look forward to your continued support of AMONG!

And then to Momo-chan (Kaneko Momoko).

Thank you so much for the eight and a half years that were vividly colored with many unusual episodes, famous quotes, tears, and laughter!

I am happy and happy that I was able to enjoy a lot of learning and experience together.

thank you for your hard work! !

(Hiroko Nakamura)
