An opportunity where “past thoughts” and “the future we want” intersect. A selection of posts for “#ThingsWeWantToMakeTheFutureNorm”
“Korekara Lab” and note launched the submission project “#ThingsWeWantToMakeTheFutureNorm” on November 17th.
This year marks “Showa 100,” counting from the Showa era. Looking back on these 100 years, there are countless things that have become “the norm.”
While reflecting on such changes, we want to think about the next 100 years together with all of you, asking, “I hope this becomes ‘the norm’ in the future,” or “I hope the ‘norm’ we have now continues into the future.” This project is filled with such thoughts.

This time, we will introduce posts picked up by companies participating in “Korekara Lab,” along with our comments. We will carefully take in the history you have reflected upon and the thoughts you have put into the future, and use them as hints for what lies ahead.
*Company names in parentheses are those that selected the post.
A delivery person who brings sushi and photos. A “letter” that isn't consumed, which I want to leave behind.
Based on the author’s belief as a photographer that “photos are ‘letters’ to affirm life and places, and to convey respect,” I was moved by their dedication from shooting to final delivery.
Just as “photos with body heat” connect the past and future, and person to person, we also want to be a company that stays close to people’s wishes and connects the future through “craftsmanship with body heat.” (SHARP)
A world where no one has to push themselves #ThingsWeWantToMakeTheFutureNorm
Every time someone who took time off due to unavoidable circumstances says, “I’m sorry for taking time off,” I feel sad as well. I felt that it would be great if it became the norm not to have to feel sorry for living at a different pace than others. (Lifenet Insurance Official note Editorial Department)
The scenery beyond the steering wheel.
Our company slogan is “Safety and comfort in the scenery of society.” In this “note,” it was written that scenery calms the mind, so one can think about returning home without accidents,
and since our perception of “scenery” is the same, I thought I would like this safe and secure scenery to be the norm. (Sekisui Jushi)
Things I want to make the future norm: A town with a bookstore
With the development of the internet, we have become able to easily access what we “want to know” while being surrounded by vast amounts of information. While it has become convenient, I feel that we only follow straight, predetermined routes, and accidental encounters have decreased. I don’t want to forget the excitement and joy that can only be met by taking time and effort. (KIRIN)
Continuing to make Osechi cuisine
I only had the perception that Osechi is something you buy, but after reading the article, I was fascinated by the programming-like precision of Osechi. Many programmers like cooking. It seems to be because the flow of cutting, prepping, cooking, doing things in parallel, and merging two things at this timing is similar to a system flow. Project management for a January 1st release is also similar.
I think it would be interesting if a new scene of Osechi making, where programmers exchange programmer-like words while making Osechi, became the norm in the future. (CAC Group)
Thank you all for your wonderful posts.
The companies participating in “Korekara Lab” are sharing what they have created as “the norm” so far under the hashtag “#UntilOurNormIsCreated” on their respective owned media. We have also created a special site, so please take a look at that as well.
Submissions are being accepted until Wednesday, December 17th.
Your ideas and thoughts may become the “norm” of the next era, changing someone’s actions and, ultimately, the future.
Please take this opportunity to post your thoughts and episodes about the future. We are looking forward to them!
