Yu Nishiwaki/Administrative scrivener
Nishiwaki struggles as the sole administrative
scrivener in a depopulated city with a population of alittle over 2,000. What made him switch careers frombeing a singer-songwriter was that he placed himself
on the scene as part of a community building effort,
and used his eyes and ears to feel for something
missing in the town. The town suffered from the
problem of vacant houses. This was because there
was no administrative scrivener. Because he was

Tryingfrom the law department and was qualiﬁed to be an
administrative scrivener, he immediately felt that hehad found his new role. When I started business, theareas I wanted to cover, such as inheritance andwill-making, expanded even further, and now I am
aiming to become a judicial scrivener. With his clear
goal of being useful to the town, using what he haslearned, receiving feedback, and creating newlearning, he has an extremely good cycle in place.

Systemize one s thoughts and ideas andtry to make something actually work
Alon Halevy/Computer scientist, entrepreneur, educator

Alon Halevy, widely known as an authority on
AI, declares, Learning expands my mind andbrings a positive sensation. For Mr. Alon, themost effective learning is now coding.
Since code can be written, I systemize mythoughts and ideas ﬁrst and try to make it
actually work. Then, I try to modify it andintegrate it with other information, and in thisway build up my learning. Previously, theaction of just trying and seeing, that took ahuge amount of time and money, has
become much faster. Coding can be done
without anyone s help, and the cost is also
almost nil. This convenience is due to theevolution of technology, and I fully support
the good way of learning of practicing ﬁrst.

business ideas are summarized in a planningdocument. In particular, what I am trying to do
is make presentations at places like business
contests, for example. This is to judge thesuccess or failure of my own ideas, because
getting evaluations and opinions from thejudges is a great learning experience. I thinkthat if you look around with a purpose in mind,
there are countless opportunities to learn.

Kaoru Ariga/Soup writer

Ariga got the title of soup writer when hestarted making soup for his family. However,
he was not aiming to be a soup writer fromthe beginning, and is unenthusiastic about it:
Making soup is fun for me; it is likerepeating a pleasant experiment. Doing
things and learning things are fun inthemselves. I am often told, Every day isamazing, but it is the same as leaving yourCo-creating

children alone and having fun. Whatconnected Ariga s play to his work was
dissemination through SNS. Since I started
posting on SNS, thinking of it as a diary, I
have gotten comments from everyone thatmake me happy. Besides, from time to time, I
can connect with people, get advice, get job
offers, and so on. This is what has led to mycurrent activities.

Chris Balme/Founder and head: Millennium School

Chris Balme founded a new junior high school,saying, I want to do something about students
losing their passion for learning. Three years
before its establishment, I was working tocompare and shape my ideas and researchcontent with ﬁfteen cofounders from four
universities. His reasoning is that by working
together, you can imagine even greater things
for human beings. This attitude is also handed

down to the current school management, andthey continue to study and conduct
experiments on lesson research in the ﬁelds ofbrain science and learning motivation incollaboration with UCLA and Stanford
University. They also operate a place called theforum, where people of different ages gather
to think deeply. They say that there are manythings to be learned from children s reﬂections.
