Kenji Kasahara, Director, Founder, Senior Executive Officer / Head of "Mimene" Business comment
Thanks to your support, "Mimene" has grown into a service used by 25 million people.
We would like to thank all of our users again for their continued support.
What makes us most happy in operating "Mimene" is the daily feeling that "Mimene" is a "platform where warm affection intersects".
I believe that taking pictures of every single step of a child's growth is love, and the desire to show those pictures and videos to family members who care about them is also love.
It is also love when family members look at those photos lovingly and leave comments.
And someday, the children themselves can look at the "See Me" albums and receive those affections and grow up healthy. In other words, we believe that the "See-Ne" albums have great value as a network where affection crosses over and love is passed on from generation to generation.
We are more than happy to be able to provide such value to the world.
We will continue to do our best to be "the heart infrastructure for families around the world.
