In the midst of the corona epidemic, I started this "Stay Salty" in the hope of helping those who are troubled, hesitant and stagnant with words about people's thoughts and the paths they have taken.
Thanks to the cooperation of many people, I am finally able to continue this project, even though it is a bit of a tightrope walk.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.
Thank you very much.

​

When we look back on our daily lives, we sometimes encounter various difficulties.
Even in the midst of these difficulties, if we look around, we can see people who are continuing their fascinating activities in their own fields, as much as possible.
I have been thinking for a long time that the activities and words of such people are full of things that we desperately need in order to live in the current era.

​

I wanted to hear the words of people who have done something to cheer someone up.

​

He may not even feel like he's gotten there.

​

They may not even think that they are doing something to cheer people up.

​

Nevertheless, they are there, and they have lived with various thoughts and feelings before standing there, and they must be thinking about how to live in the future.
How could the words of such people not touch the hearts of people who are filled with anxiety about themselves and the world in the future?

It is a beautiful thing to see people working hard, searching, pondering, and fighting to achieve their dreams.
Many of them have not been able to move forward only by the power of their own strong will.
A person's path in life is also a path born from the exchange of thoughts and feelings with the many people involved.
I would like to listen to the words of people who have lived in the midst of all of this, and I would like to introduce them to you.
The words of those who have lived and will continue to live in this way all contain a wish similar to a prayer.

 

They are all

​

with dazzling strength

​

beautiful strong will, and

​

full of wishes for the future.

​

I feel that they are full of good energy.

​

 

I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who have agreed with this purpose and joined this web magazine.
I hope to spread the circle of sympathy and stimulation, even if only a little, though steadily and steadily.
