Launching a voluntary participation project called "Let Me Hear Your Words" in honor of "Kotoba no Hi" (Day of Words).
In honor of Kotoba no Hi (Day of Words) on May 18th, I have decided to hold a participatory project called "Let Me Hear Your Words" where people who cherish words can freely participate.
Although this is a sudden announcement just one week before, I decided to launch this project because I wanted to continue building even better relationships through words with friends who also cherish them and those I am close with, based on my own experience of enriching my life with words—feeling admiration, frustration, encouragement, and comfort through the words of many others.I wanted to continue building even better relationships through words with friends who also cherish them and those I am close with, based on my own experience of enriching my life with words—feeling admiration, frustration, encouragement, and comfort through the words of many others.

What is Kotoba no Hi?
Five years ago, on May 18, 2020, May 18th became "Kotoba no Hi" (Day of Words) thanks to Kotaro Abe's "Kotoba no Kikaku 2019" (Word Project 2019) held within his "Kikaku Meshi" program.
About the voluntary participation project "Let Me Hear Your Words"
I think there are things we find hard to put into words in our daily lives, but with the help of "anniversaries" like Mother's Day or Father's Day, we can express gratitude that is usually embarrassing to say, or if you are in a relationship, you might propose on your dating anniversary.
There are words that can only be conveyed or written on an "anniversary." Words you haven't been able to tell someone until now, words you regret not saying at the time, words of encouragement for yourself working hard right now, words you want to convey to your future self, family, or friends—I hope we can spend May 18th together with "words that can only be conveyed on this day" directed at the people you want to reach.
<How to participate in the voluntary project "Let Me Hear Your Words">
(1) Post your writing on personal social media such as X, note, or Instagram between 0:00 and 23:59 on Sunday, May 18th. There is no character limit, so please feel free to write whatever you want to convey right now, words you can't forget, etc., whether it's a single sentence or a long piece. (2) When posting, please include the hashtag 【
#LetMeHearYourWords】. Later, I will register those on note into a magazine, and for those who posted on other social media, I will take screenshots and compile them into a work on note at a later date.
Even if I have never met someone, when I read their words or writing, I feel the power of words—being able to empathize, put myself in their shoes, or find salvation precisely because I have had the same experience in the past.
Precisely because we see so much news these days about people hurting others with words, I want your tomorrow to be even a little more positive through the warmth, kindness, and richness that words possess. If you resonate with this, I would be happy if you could participate in this project "Let Me Hear Your Words".

<Postscript> I would like to express my gratitude to Hiyori Enomoto, who encouraged me when I was hesitant about launching this project "Let Me Hear Your Words". I reaffirmed that it is because there are people who support you, encourage you, and enjoy things with you when you start something that you can take that first step. Thank you very much.
