The last Expo, EXPO 2005, Aichi, Japan was held in 2005, which is when I was born, so I feel an affinity with the Expo!
I’m really happy to have been appointed as a special supporter with my sister for such a big event that I feel so close to, and I’m really looking forward to visiting the venue!
I can’t wait to experience the latest technology from all over the world, coming from different countries!
