It was in 2014 when I first stepped onto Vietnamese soil. I felt an excitement that I couldn't put into words.

In Japan, there is much talk about the "lost 20 years" or even the "lost 30 years," as if we have been losing our way ever since I entered the workforce.

Japan is a "mature society," in both good and bad ways. Vending machines and convenience stores are everywhere in the cities. With just a single click on a smartphone, almost anything can be delivered by the next day. I was so accustomed to this lifestyle that Vietnam seemed like a very exciting and hopeful country to me.

I felt that I had no choice but to take action here. If I didn’t do it now, I knew I would regret it. The following month, I set up a development team and took a new step forward with the young people of Vietnam.

There is a saying, "The East Asian Miracle," which refers to the rapid economic development of East Asian countries between 1965 and 1997. Japan was one of the first countries to experience this, but it happened before I was born or when I was still a child. To be honest, I don't really feel any personal connection to it.

But now, in this country called Vietnam, I am witnessing the "Miracle of Southeast Asia" in real time. From here on, together with the friends I have made in this country, I want to race through the "Miracle of Southeast Asia" as a top runner.
