Happy New Year!
I wish all of you good health for the new year.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to citizens for the understanding and cooperation for the city council.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics are drawing near.
One of the basic concepts of the vision of the event is diversity and harmony, in which the society will progress by accepting and acknowledging one another's difference, including gender and disability.

In response to this situation, the city council established a special committee to investigate and realize a society respecting diversity.
The committee examined the petitions about various issues related to sexual minorities, and adopted with a unanimous approval.

We will continue to perform our duties as one part of dualistic representative democracy to realize a society where all people respect one another's character and personality, support one another and acknowledge the diversity of people.

We will appreciate your continued support for the activities of the city council.
I conclude my greeting by wishing all of you good health and happiness.
