A New Step, A Challenge into Unknown Territory!!
I, Shinichiro Kawamatsu, the "fighting politician," celebrated my 45th birthday on December 8th. Over the past year, I have focused on the three pillars of "politics, economy, and charity," taking on challenges and fulfilling my responsibilities, so I would like to report on my recent activities here.
Furthermore, as of December 8th, I have adopted the title of "International Politician." I will provide updates on the situation in due course.
With diplomacy toward China drawing attention, I am determined to do my utmost to establish a "strong Japan," leveraging the freedom of my current position to accomplish things that only I can do.
○ Political Activities
In July, I graduated from my role as a Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly member and made the decision to challenge the next House of Representatives election from Tokyo's 14th District. I avoided the "political hack" behavior of resigning mid-term, and have moved on to a new stage after fully fulfilling my responsibilities.
Since August, I have been proceeding with the reorganization of my support group, moving to significantly strengthen the Kawamatsu Support Group that has existed since 2011.
In addition to reorganizing the youth division, I have relaunched the "Kawamatsu Juku," which I presided over during my time at TV Asahi, starting a study group that brings together a wide range of generations, from former bureaucrats from Kasumigaseki and corporate executives to students.
Furthermore, I have formed a support group with influencers and venture company members, and I am proceeding with new organizational development in Edogawa Ward as well. As the Kawamatsu Office, we are carefully listening to the concerns of local residents one by one and working hard toward solutions.
○ Economic Activities
As a new arena for my challenges, I have established CRTK Co., Ltd. I have incorporated my philosophy into the company name. I have always argued that if people who cannot earn the equivalent of a legislator's salary become legislators, they will cling to their seats, so this is a company that manages me as a media producer.
C = Curiosity
R = Rebellious (spirit)
T = Try (challenge)
K = Kvell (joy - the pride and joy gained beyond the challenge)
True joy lies in posing questions to unknown territories, transcending established concepts, and accumulating challenges—with this thought in my heart, I am pursuing innovation and growth.
On November 29th, I held the "Tomoyuki Sugano Pitcher x Hisayoshi Chono Talk Show," realizing a new attempt to connect sports and society. In addition, I have been consulted by domestic media regarding the dissemination of Japanese content overseas.
○ Charity and Volunteer Activities
As the Representative Director of the NPO Night Princess Guardian, I am working on issues in modern society.
As the Vice Chairman of the Micronesia Promotion Association, I continue to work to protect Japan's presence in the South Pacific region and face China's global strategy. Furthermore, I have received requests for collaboration from international NGOs toward the resolution of ethnic conflicts, and I am working hard for peace and stability in the international community.
In Conclusion
In this way, I continue to take on challenges and fulfill my responsibilities every day, centered on the three pillars of politics, economy, and philanthropy. With my birthday as a new starting point, I will continue to move forward together with all of you, and I ask for your continued guidance and encouragement.
Sincerely, Shinichiro Kawamatsu
