SIW2023 Comments from New Fellows (random order, titles omitted)
mutant wave.
Genderist/Shibuya Tourist Association Tourism Fellow
In 2021, Mutant Wave was launched with the desire to create a world where people can love themselves, and has been involved in a wide range of collaborations beyond the boundaries of media, companies, education, and LGBTQI +. I have come. Last year, I had the opportunity to speak at a conference and meet and interact with many people. Among this year's themes is [What is DIVERITY? ], but as a transgender person who is also one of DIVERITY, I feel that it has a very important meaning to be involved in SIW as a Fellow. In addition, as a Shibuya City Tourism Fellow, I would like to deliver the diverse culture of Shibuya with mutant wave color. Would you like to create a happy space together on the day of the day? I'm looking forward to seeing you!

Mana Saza
General Incorporated Association SWITCH Representative Director
2021 years. I want to send information about the global environment from the youth town of Shibuya! And we started "SHIBUYA COP" to talk across generations and industries. With that message, I was assigned to be in charge of the closing and remarks at SIW2021. I fondly remember sending a message online from the screen sandwiched between Mr. Kanayama and Osada at the SIW venue immediately after returning to Japan after participating in COP26.
I aim to make Shibuya "the most sustainable city in the world".
We are looking forward to creating a dynamic wave through the co-creation of young people with companies and organizations that love Shibuya. Best regard.

Since I was given the opportunity to speak at SIW in 2019, I have been looking forward to seeing what kind of themes and challenges we will encounter at SIW every year. This time, I am very honored to be involved in such a passionate place from the management side. I think SIW is a place where you can see things, take pictures, and post them on social media. By all means, I will do my best to visit Shibuya and bring back something.
