The 2024 executive committee members gave a message for those who want to become the executive committee for the next fiscal year.

• I want people who are worried about not being confident in themselves will do it. Although I was not confident, the experience of having repeated discussions with members of the same year through the activities of the executive committee and creating a large-scale ceremony with many members of the city hall, including the staff of the city hall Was a great confidence for me.
• I don't think it's easy to experience going on stage and talking at a large venue, so I'd like you to try it!
• I had a valuable experience of being involved in the largest coming-of-age ceremony in Japan, and I felt my growth.
