I still remember it.
The day I saw the green of the baseball stadium turf on the screen of the color TV in our living room for the first time and my heart leapt with joy.
The day I had an air conditioner (there was no word for air conditioner at that time) installed in my room for the first time and said goodbye to the electric fan.
The day I held the steering wheel of my own car for the first time and savored the freedom of mobility.
After the war, Japan enjoyed a period of rapid economic growth, which reached its peak with the bubble economy of 1989, but has since entered a long period of stagnation that has lasted for over 30 years.
And now, as Japan's population ages at a rate unprecedented in human history, the country is on the verge of a financial crisis worse than that which followed the war.
In order to break out of this situation, what can we, the generation that is responsible for Japan's present, do?
We believe that the answer is not to cling to existing values, but to boldly step into the unknown and achieve economic growth based on the creation of new value.
We will indirectly contribute to this goal by transforming organizations and society into value-creating entities through consulting for companies and government agencies.
We will establish venture companies that can truly contribute to sustainable growth for humanity, and support their growth.
We will directly contribute by becoming players ourselves and participating in these businesses.
MICG pledges to continue to be a foundation that promotes Japan's growth strategy by bringing together people with ambition.
