[Send-off party report] Director Morita departed for Canada [Long-term overseas business trip]

Hello.
This is Goto from the Web Service Division.

Director Morita left for Canada last month.

Although he plans to return to his home country someday, there is no set deadline and there is a possibility that he will be on a long business trip for several years, so a farewell party was held.

This time, we will bring you all the details of Morita's send-off party!

What kind of people were participating?

This time, we had a very wide range of people, including employees of Beyond, the Kids Programming School 8×9 (Hack) where is Otafuku Lab , where he is a director, and even partners and people with whom Morita has personal connections. It was a meeting attended by.

Furthermore, send-off parties were held not only in Kansai but also in Tokyo, and I was personally surprised once again by Morita's wide-ranging face.

By the way, when Morita goes to a hot spring, he immediately makes new friends there, and also says, ``It just so happened that Morita was the first person to arrive at a company dinner, and by the time the other members arrived, Morita had already made friends with someone who was there. There seems to be an episode such as "We were chatting well."

I the sauna club , etc., but from what I've heard, I really can't stand these episodes.

10/18 Tokyo venue (Microsoft)

The farewell party was held in Tokyo ahead of time. The venue was provided by Microsoft.

At this point, I'm like, ``Eh, why? Are you sure?'' But I guess there were various connections that led to this outcome.
(Thank you very much.)

Now, I would like to share with you some of the farewell party held at the Tokyo venue.

(Photos will be posted that were shared by members who participated in the send-off party in Tokyo.)

I didn't attend the send-off party in Tokyo, so I don't know much about it, but Beyond CEO Haraoka seemed to be having fun talking about something.

Microsoft is also sending Morita to us.

(The person in this photo is a partner of our company.)

Greetings from Morita too.

Oh, what kind of moment is this?

But in terms of context, it was probably the moment when I heard something moving.

Oh, there was another one.

Ah, there it is. This kind of camera work.

A close-up shot of the eyes as if they were coming to the lachrymal glands.

It must have been a wonderful time.

10/21 Osaka venue

Now, let me tell you about the situation in Osaka.

I was participating as a photographer at the Osaka venue.

Quite a lot of people came.

This is a toast with Morita's greeting.

Morita goes around greeting people at various seats.

Many people from Beyond also participated.

It's lively, isn't it?

A lot of people came to visit us.

Many wonderful gifts...

The send-off party is finally coming to an end. At the same time, many people presented Morita with gifts.

Morita has a serious conversation while wearing the gift (earmuffs) he received.

At the end, there was a present from Haraoka, who started the company with Morita.

Haraoka looked sad and said, ``Ever since I started the company, I've never been in a situation where Morita wasn't around for several decades.''

We get along very well.

To everyone who came

The above is from my perspective, but I have provided photos of the Morita send-off party.

Thank you very much to everyone who came and sent messages.

Thank you for your continued support of Beyond!
