Foreword
Masaki Oda, PhD
President of JACET(Tamagawa University)

In December 2022, JAAL in JACET was held in
Ritsumeikan University in Ibaraki, Osaka. It was
the first national-level JACET event in which
presenters, participants as well as supporting
members exhibition were present on site in three
years. This will be followed by the 4th JACET
joint seminar in March. These two hybrid events
serve as a transition to the 62nd International
conference in August, which will be the firstcompletely face to face event since the 59th
International in Nagoya in August 2019. While it
returns to the traditional format, we will takeadvantage of our experience in organizing online
conferences in the last few years.
As we have reported its progress in previous
issues, JACET is planning to undergo a major
reorganization of its administrative structure andoptimize the size of committees to the current

state of the organization, while complying withthe law and regulations governing Ippan shadanhojin (The General Incorporated Association)
status. We will give you the details later, but weare aiming at combining committees on
International convention and seminars.
Publications and awards, Research proportion
and academic affairs. This reorganization should
help, particularly small chapters, as the number
of officers each chapter is requested to elect, will
be reduced. While various redundant committee
duties will be streamlined and redistributed asnecessary. We will keep you posted andhopefully the proposal will finally be voted at thegeneral Shain meeting in June.
I believe that most of you are busy for the newacademic year. We wish you a good, productive
2023 academic year and hope that JACET canhelp you in many ways.

Report from the JACET Headquarters

opportunity to communicate face-to-face. In

Condolences to Dr. Aikawa
Masaki Oda, PhD
President of JACETOn December 3rd, I went to JAAL in JACET
2022 in Osaka. As I had some university duties
in the morning, I had asked Dr. Masao Aikawa,
who was the chair of the event to deliver its
opening address. When I arrived at the venue, hecame to greet me with his usual smile. This was
the first time I have met him in person for morethan three years. We sat down and tried to discussvarious issues in JACET’s international
collaborations which we had routinely
exchanged ideas for a long time. We had worked
together in International affairs committee andacademic affairs committee for two decades
while occasionally we had talked about music,
Chinese cuisine and cats. We promised that wewould meet at our board meeting two weeks later.
Instead, he passed away on the day of our board
meeting at the age of 54.
A very humble reliable, responsible person
who has always been able to complete
complicated tasks carefully step by step withsmiles. I still cannot imagine any JACET
international activities without his presence. We
have gone through various difficulties ininternational affairs together but we are unable toask the most reliable advisor what to do with thisdifficulty.
Thank you very much Aikawa-sensei. Rest
in Peace, and I tell you NOT to work too hard in
the heaven.
