Message from the President

Message from the President we find happiness in the challenges we take on. That is why I be- lieve that taking on challenges makes our lives richer. And those challenges, in turn, enrich society and ultimately make Japan’s future richer. “Joyful challenges” are endeavors that enable us to grow as individuals while contributing to society. AI will undoubtedly continue to evolve at a breathtaking pace. Society will also continue to change at a speed beyond our imagination. Yet I believe there is one thing that will never change: people give one another courage. People encourage one another. People help one another grow. And people bring happiness to one another. Last year, I expressed my determination to once again strive toward “JAPAN as No. 1.” That determination has only grown stronger. The “JAPAN as No. 1” I envision is not about competing solely in terms of economic prosperity. It is a country where each individual can feel a sense of happiness, respect one another, and hold hope for the future, while society sup- ports those who take on challenges. The TBS Group can move people’s hearts through the power of entertainment. We can expand people’s potential through education. We can enhance the value of Japan by taking on the world. I believe in that power. I believe in Japan’s future. And above all, I believe in those who take on challenges with us. The future is not something to wait for. Nor is it something granted by someone else. The future is something people cre- ate. That is why I believe in people. I believe in my colleagues. I believe in Japan. And I believe in the power to move people’s hearts. With this conviction in our hearts, the TBS Group will continue to create new value for the world. The future begins with people. We believe in people. We create the future. Together, we will continue to take on “Joyful Challenges.” Watch the video Sixty-six new members, all smiles after singing together at the TBS Group’s new employee welcoming ceremony 10
