I've arrived at Gourmet Century Asuke.

First of all, to all the participants, staff, volunteers, and everyone involved.
"Thank you for all your hard work, and thank you."

What kind of photos could I take, and what kind of words could I write, to fully convey what happened during that time?
Even if I only shared the impressions that remain as vivid as flashbacks—from the test rides over these past few months up to the day itself—it would undoubtedly turn into a long post.
Besides, as I mentioned before, I don't even know how to begin to express it.

As a Circles staff member, I have been involved in numerous events as an organizer, staff member, and participant.
And during this event, one customer said to me:
"This is the culmination of Circles."
Perhaps it is, but that didn't sit quite right with me.
At the time, I could only think of this as the beginning of something else.
I have no idea if what's beginning is a "highway to hell" or a "stairway to heaven," but I feel as though I’ve already started walking down that path.
If that’s the case, then I’ll keep walking.
Even a "highway to hell" will become a happy road if you walk it with a smile.

I hope to share these memories little by little as the moments arise.
For now, this post serves as a thank you.
With the words of Chris King engraved in my heart.
And, my greatest gratitude to these two people.

Thank you very much.
