Cyber-Law Project
This research project focuses on Cyber-Law issues. Network-related legal issues arise in a variety of new ways which are not covered within the current legal systems. This project aims to explore what kind of problems and issues will arise on networks and what kind of responses are needed, focusing on the legal aspects through case studies. Research will also focus on emerging technological developments and legal issues, such as the research and development of robotics, AI and cyber-physical systems (CPS), and examine the issues necessary for their implementation in our society.
Business management in Japan and Asia
The theme of this seminar is Corporate management in Japan and Asia. We will consider the actual situation of global competition of Asian companies from a comprehensive perspective. In this case, "Asia" includes not only Japan and China, but also East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan, Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, and even India. Typical industrial fields to be analyzed include IT / semiconductor, information and communication, Internet-related, entertainment-related, automobiles, petrochemicals, and steel.
Korean Study
The theme of this this seminar is
Politics, Economy, and Society of South Korea and North Korea. The purpose of this research is to focus on the political and social fields, economic and management fields, and historical fields, targeting the Korean Peninsula (South Korea and North Korea) as a region. By preparing a flexible and wide-ranging perspective, we will try to deepen our understanding of the Korean Peninsula, which is a neighboring region.

Oral History
The theme of this study group is "listening" or "hearing". Have you ever felt that the textual data and numerical data that have been used as materials for research up to now are somehow stiff, dry, and unsatisfactory? Especially in research involving people, it is quite natural to want something that feels the temperature of people.
Therefore, we have started a research group to consider and practice "talking" and "listening," which are very simple but realistic tasks based on communication, in order to open up research and the unknown.
Social Innovation: "Social Marketing and Value Co-creation" & "Social Production and Co-education"
This research group will be promoted in two courses, in which members will work to foster the ability to realize “social innovation”" by learning and teaching each other. Participants in this research group are expected to attend one of the two courses.
Course A: Social Marketing and Value Co-Creation
Course A of this research group will focus on "marketing" as an approach to promote “social innovation”. In other words, Course A will explore what kind of "marketing (i.e., market making)" is needed to realize “social innovation”.
The word "marketing" is "market+ing (= market making)," which means creating a market (= a place where various values are created and satisfaction is provided to the people involved through various interactions and relationship building) and making it function sustainably (ing = ongoing tense). This is the meaning of "to create a place where various values are created and satisfaction is provided to the people involved. In other words, it can be said to be a sustainable process that creates value through the creation of various relationships, achieves the objectives of each of the parties involved, and promotes mutual satisfaction.
In this Course A, each student will set his/her own theme and undertake his/her own research project (survey and research activities) while exploring the state-of-the-art of "social marketing" and organizing the required theories, concepts, and methods. Specifically, while continuing to learn about theories, concepts, and methods that they should be aware of, they will research the goods, things, services, and places that can be found in various practical examples, and in the spring semester, they will create "social marketing products" as a team, and in the fall semester, they will undertake "research projects (surveys and research activities)" that will produce results on an individual basis. In the fall semester, students work on "research projects (surveys and research activities)" that produce results on an individual basis.
Course B: Social Production and Co-education
Course B is designed for those who are already planning policies and strategies, launching and preparing specific projects, or working on further improvement and evolution of projects already in progress in order to promote “social innovation”".
Wellbeing, education (as broad as education, including inquiry learning, digital education, citizenship education, STEAM, global education, leadership education, etc.), science and technology innovation, sports, culture, theater, medicine, life sciences, information, intelligent information society, local development, community development, food, agriculture, Expo, Well-Being Commons Creation, Community Currency, etc.

Research in Econometrics and Applied Statistics
We will be studying Vector Auto-regressive (VAR) models, both theory and applications. To this end, the students of this seminar will be required to use MATLAB, Eviews, and Stata.
Politics and Diplomacy in Japan
How much do we understand about the country we live in? In my interactions with political scientists and scholars of Japan from around the world, I am often asked, "Why is Japan's politics so stable while the rest of the world is facing democratic difficulties? After the "lost 20 years" since 1993, and the two governmental changes in 2009 and 2012, the shape of Japanese politics has changed dramatically. However, there are still many challenges. It can be said that there is a need to understand and communicate this intrinsically. What can we learn from Japanese politics, how can we change it, and how can we communicate it to the world?
When we think about the state of Japanese politics and diplomacy (modern and contemporary) in this way, we naturally need to have a basic knowledge and understanding of its structure. However, how much of this intellectual foundation is shared? If the necessary foundations are neglected, all the hard work that has gone into the creation process may be lost. It goes without saying that it is necessary to acquire a foothold and stance to think and judge for oneself, rather than using borrowed understanding and convenient data.
Therefore, this seminar will take Japanese politics and diplomacy as its subject, with the goal of systematically understanding the structure of the problems that appear in it. We will use excellent texts in political science and history as a starting point for discussions on the background, institutions, and personalities, in order to gain a foundation for our own thinking. Students will then engage in a series of exercises to analyze and communicate their findings based on a systematic understanding, and refine their ability to think and discuss Japanese politics and diplomacy in your own words.

Corporate Finance and Corporate Management
Corporate Finance and Corporate Management / Strategy.
To manage a company, it is necessary to understand overall management in a way that crosses over into various areas such as financial strategy, accounting, marketing, product development, organization management, human capital management, and business strategy. In this seminar, students will acquire the knowledge necessary for corporate management through (1) readings, (2) case studies, and (3) actual project practice. The area of expertise of the supervising professor is corporate finance, so the course will delve somewhat deeper into those areas.
Corporate Finance and Entrepreneurship
"Corporate Finance and Entrepreneurship"
This course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to start a business or launch a new business within a company. This requires a broad understanding of business in general. Since entrepreneurs are also managers, they need to understand general management in a way that allows them to cross-skewer various areas such as financial strategy (fundraising), accounting, marketing, product development, management organization, human resource strategy, and management strategy. The supervisors specialize in corporate finance and venture business, so they can provide specialized guidance in those areas, but students are expected to actively learn about other areas to understand the overall picture of corporate management and entrepreneurship.
For now, the spring semester will be spent working with the CEO of the company in question on fundraising and marketing strategies for the actual newly established startup company.
