The New Era Name, April Fools' Day, and Cherry Blossoms | A Turning Point in History

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It’s finally today! The new era name is going to be announced, isn’t it!

I hear it will be announced around 11:00 a.m. today.

In any case, it just makes you happy, doesn't it?

I can't believe the era name has changed three times in my lifetime, lol.

We've gone through the Showa and Heisei eras, and now we're here, right?

Back when I used to think the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras—the times my grandpa and grandma lived through—were so awesome.

I'm about to experience that right now.

It really brings back memories, doesn't it?

I suppose this is how history is written, isn't it?

 

Amid all this, we’re welcoming another new member to Enta today.

This time, it's a Japanese person lol

I suppose this is how companies build their history, isn't it?

After all, a company is only a company because of the people who work there.

 

And quite a few people seem to have the wrong idea

The new era name takes effect on May 1!

April 1 is the day the new era name will be announced.

 

If we don't announce it in advance, the systems out there won't be ready in time!

Since we were suddenly told about the new era name, we can’t change the system right away, so over the past month, the IT company has...

It's a bit of a chaotic time right now, lol.

Even though the IT industry is already busy thanks to the effects of Abenomics,

I just got a job related to the new era name, so this month is probably going to be hell, lol.

Don't you think the effects of Abenomics are finally starting to reach even us at the bottom of the construction industry?

That's what I think.

 

But today is April Fools' Day, right?

I really hope the government screws up by telling some kind of lie about the new era name, lol.

 

I'm cramming a lot in here, but this is what the cherry blossoms at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival look like right now.

This is what the nighttime illumination looks like.

It's designed to change to various colors with the LED lighting.

They're not quite in full bloom yet, so it's a little underwhelming lol, but by the middle of this week or later, it's definitely going to be absolutely insane.

If you have some time, please feel free to stop by.

My volunteer work is over, though!

 

See you later.
