Radio Appearance
Gnzo president Toshikazu Shinohara was a guest the other day on the radio program “GINZA SWING!!” broadcasted by the SORAxNIWA Project.

The 13th Ashigara Fireworks
Last Saturday, we enjoyed the fireworks held in the neighbor of the office.
The above is the photo I took from the hill our office stands on. Only I feel sorry to see the fireworks smoky in the windless sky.
It was great to see the fireworks above the night view.

Hello! To make up for lacking exercise, recently I enjoy running around the office, its nearside beautifully greened.
Our office is located on the hill and we can look around the sight of near areas. We can also see Mt.Fuji the highest beautiful mountain in Japan on sunny days. I also feel the air is explicitly purer than the center of Tokyo.
So, running through green road within...

On weekdays, I make my loving dogs wait for me during the day while I’m working. To fill their loneliness, I try to play with them a lot on weekends.

Gnzo Office Lunch
One of our projects came to an end the other day, so we had lunch patting each other’s back.
You can say it’s a Salad Lunch. Of whose request? Well it was a request of our male engineers who are preoccupied with their bodies.
The large plate salad’s gone before I tasted it!
Gnzo team will keep going in high spirit even in the midsummer!

Gnzo office renovation: #2 White board
We long wanted to redo the partition to a white board. We tried it ourselves.
And that, we wanted it as large as possible. So we employed the painting type material to transform the board into a white board.
Guess who was the great help? One of our engineers, a plastic model enthusiast was. He sanded the board and put the base coat very carefully that led to paint the main coating.

WatchGnzo Colors: Yellow-
Recently I see more videos with bright colors on Gnzo. Among them, I picked up “something yellow” today.
It is said that colors have psychological effect on human being. Yellow brightens our feeling. It’s certain. It is said that yellow produces nervous system excitation, and helps activating our digestive system.
At first, I thought all “something yellow” might be...
