Happy New Year to everyone. I would like to say a few words at the beginning of the year.We had the big disaster last year which caused us to work extremely hard to recover. But the disaster was not all bad in some way. One month after the disaster, we announced a plan for recovery that was considered to be too optimistic by many people. However, as we worked so hard, we reached each milestone point in the plan earlier than announced. Because of this, KEK did get a high praise by many and I was flooded by e-mails of admiration. We earned the trust of our worldwide users. This must have reached the government and we did receive additional funding. I thank you for your hard working.People outside of our research community recognized our contributions. What we did to name a few were:
