https://www.daytona-park.com/cp/wakamono/?utm_source=pressrelease&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=1106_wakamonofreak&utm_content=P • “Youth Freak” is a project to support the youth generation Young people in Japan seem to have fewer dreams than young people around the world. The Nippon Foundation’s “Survey of Attitudes among
18-Year-Olds” shows that in Japan, “What I do has a purpose and meaning,” “I have dreams for the future,” and “I feel needed by others.” ” “I have a unique personality that I can be proud of.” The results showed that the number of respondents who agreed with the question “I have a unique personality that I can be proud of” was 10 points lower than in other countries. “Dreams” may sound like an exaggeration, but I’m sure everyone has something they like. FREAK’S STORE is a project to support the youth generation in “FREAK’S VILLAGE”, a community of love and passion, with the hope that one day your “likes” will turn into “dreams” and you will be more “excited” about your future self. “Young Freak” will be launched in
collaboration with the web magazine “Beyond magazine”.

In response to the lowering of the voting age, the Nippon Foundation has been conducting an ongoing survey since October 2018 on the values, attitudes toward politics and elections, and understanding of social issues among young people around the age of 18. [What is the Nippon Foundation] Pain, hope, and future together. Since its establishment in 1962 as Japan’s largest foundation, the Nippon Foundation has used grants from boat race proceeds to support activities in a wide range of fields, including children, people with disabilities, disasters, the ocean, and humanitarian aid, transcending race and national borders. We are promoting this as a financial resource. Official website:
