Marche corner opened last month. This month, we will introduce other very special products. I am sure many of you were happy to see Mr. Fujimoto's active career after graduating from NP. This month, we would like to introduce three chocolate treats perfect for White Day. A taste of love, and perfect for adults who care about beauty and health. Between you and me, this project will be forced to end if 20 or more people do not buy per month (tears). NAKAMA, please take advantage of the opportunity to save 15% off company sales. Continuing from last month, "beauty researcher Subaru Fujimoto," a former NAKAMA member, reported his real impressions. Please watch the video (you can choose the language for subtitles).

On January 22-24, UNIVA Japan (UJP) held its second graduate training program in Horokanai-cho. Two employees of North Energy, a subsidiary of UNIVA Oak Holdings, also participated in the event, and spent quality time together in a sales contest, snowmobile experience, and night fishing at Shumarinai Lake, as well as sales exchange. There was a lively exchange of opinions about the Horokanai Project, which is developing various projects, including tourism promotion, education promotion, and zero-carbons, and some innovative ideas were generated by the younger members. The training participants also gained a better understanding of North Energy and UJP and look forward to further partnerships in the future.
