I am greatly honored to be the president of this meeting with tradition, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my colleagues and officers of the society for giving this opportunity.

I have named the theme of this meeting as "Ungai Soten", which means that if you are determined to challenge the difficulties, you can expect a pleasant blue sky later. It shows my wish that, amidst the feeling of hopelessness of the pandemic, this meeting will be a place where the blue sky can be seen with clouds of daily clinical questions being cleared away. Yes, we all know life is not always fun. Nevertheless, we can meet a bright future after overcoming painful and unhappy times. That told on your mind, it is sure to be the driving force to survive every day.

The situation of new coronavirus infection is yet to be stable. Although the meeting will be held in a hybrid format, I would like to welcome as many participants in person as possible, if the situation allows. It would be wonderful if I could meet my fellow members face-to-face to enjoy the discussions.
Thank you very much, and I look forward to welcoming you in Hamamatsu.
