The 3 SMILE PROJECT was born about 20 years ago when I was deeply moved by the movie “Pay It Forward,” which revolves around the theme of paying it forward. The story follows a young boy who tries to make the world a better place by encouraging people to do something kind for three others whenever they receive a kindness.
At that time, I was contemplating my future after graduating from college. While thinking about how I should live my life, I too wanted to become someone who could make others happy. Since then, I have engaged in various activities, including making my debut as a musician and writing books inspired by Mitsuo Aida, all in an effort to give form to the feelings I experienced when I watched “Pay It Forward.”
The consistent theme has always been “smiles.” I feel my own value when I see other people smile. Creating smiles gave me energy for the next step.
Therefore, I thought that if I could create a mechanism or tool that could generate smiles, many people would become happier, brimming with energy, and a peaceful world would unfold. The first item that came to mind was the “Koban” introduced on this site.
When this idea struck me, the puzzle pieces that had been scattered in my mind for about 20 years finally came together and began to move.
Your precious person is important to me as well.
I believe that by imagining not just ourselves and the other person, but also the next step beyond, conflicts in the world will decrease. Even if progress is gradual now, I sincerely hope that this feeling will spread like a wave, bringing happiness to the entire world.
