[Dad Support Project] For dads working hard at both work and parenting. Why not create a community where we can support each other?
Hello.
This is nagi.
This time, I have an announcement for an incredible project.
It's called...
The "Dad Support Project"!
This wonderful project was launched by Hotaru-san.
"I want to support dads who are working hard."
This project started from that warm sentiment.
Resonating with that feeling,
this time,
Hotaru-san × Eigyo Papa-san × nagi
will be hosting it together as a trio✨

Being a dad might actually be harder than it used to be
In the past,
"Fathers worked outside, and mothers did the parenting."
I imagine many families were like that.
Actually, my own family was like that too.
But it's different now.
You're expected to deliver results at work,
and when you get home, you give your all to parenting.
……
No, if you think about it calmly, that's pretty brutal, isn't it? (lol)
A dad's hard work is definitely reaching his children
Amidst all this, I found some very happy news.
According to a survey by market research firm I.C.R.,
high school girls' favorability toward their fathers
has changed significantly from "dislike 63%" in 2000
to "like 83.8%" in 2019.
The background for this is said to be
the increase in dads actively participating in parenting,
and the fact that the distance between fathers and children has become closer.
As a dad raising a 1-year-old daughter,
this result made me truly happy.
It means that the hard work
is definitely getting through.
That is why this project was born
But at the same time, I thought:
For dads,
there are surprisingly few places to talk about
the struggles and joys of parenting,
and how cute our children are.
So for this project,
there is something I want to value even more than writing articles.
That is...
For all the participants to connect with each other.
And,
to become friends who can read each other's articles and support one another.
This project is not about deciding rankings.
"Who was the best"
is not the point,
"Let's all support each other"
is what this project is about.
It doesn't end with writing an article;
I would be happy if you could read other participants' articles
and support them with "Likes,"
"Comments,"
and "Follows."
If connections spread like that,
and it becomes a place where you can think "I'll do my best again," that would be the best.

Thank you for your understanding.
Please apply via Hotaru-san's article🤲
Everyone who isn't a dad, please join in the support too!
While this article is aimed at dads,
I would be very happy if women and single individuals also participated as supporters.
By reading the participants' articles,
giving a 'Like',
'commenting',
or 'following',
each and every bit of support like that
becomes a great source of strength for the dads working hard.
Let's all make this a warm and welcoming project!
We even have amazing supporting members!
Furthermore, this time,
my boss (lol),
Yamaoku AI Research Institute, has joined us as a supporting patron!
When posting,
please be sure to include #YamaokuPatron ✨
Additionally,
Compass Miki-san
has created a support song just for this project!
Thank you so much 🙇
Finally,
Actually, this is my first time experiencing being on the 'organizing side'.
My co-organizers and supporters are so incredibly reliable that
right now I am completely 'piggybacking' on them (lol).
(Inner voice: I should only be piggybacking my own kids! 🤣)
There may be some shortcomings,
but even though I am on the organizing side,
I plan to write an article and participate with all my might as a dad myself!
Through this project,
I hope that many dads will connect with each other,
and that a wonderful circle of mutual support will expand.
I am looking forward to your participation,
and your warm support from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for reading until the end today as well 🙇
