Message from TAKA
(January 2025)

To the 380 members of team TAKA from 33 countries,

Happy New Year!

First of all, I would like to express my condolences for the plane crash in South Korea that occurred a few days ago.There are two Korean members of team TAKA. I hope that their families are not affected.

I want to share some updates from team TAKA.A trend for 2024 is that the same members have visited our home multiple times.Singapore for the fifth time (the sixth on January 3rd), France for the third time, America for the third time, Australia for the second time, etc. Furthermore, the number of guests introduced by members has increased. We are happy to say that a couple who visited our home on their honeymoon has had a child, and the number of team TAKA families is steadily increasing.

Finally,we wish you, your family and your friends a happy year based on peace around the world from Tokyo.
