Development background
“Okurukotoba” was born from the actual experience of our
representative Kakibata.
How did my parents meet, and under what circumstances were I born? What did my father and mother really think at that time? There are so many things I want to listen to while my parents are still alive and well, as they approach their 90s, but I can’t listen to them myself now, but I’m sure I’ll regret it if I don’t listen to them now. With this in mind, Kakihata consulted a trusted writer and asked him to interview the parents on his behalf, which turned out to be an irreplaceable time for the parents to reflect on the trajectory of parent and child. For Kakihata, the booklet containing the interviews is a bible that will help him return to his roots throughout his life. In an era where the aging of the population is accelerating and there is an even greater need for listening and passing on information between generations, we believe that it is the responsibility of Listeners, who make a living doing interviews, to provide this valuable experience, which led us to this release.

Product Features
In “Okuru Kotoba,” experienced interviewers ask from a third-party perspective what you want your loved ones, such as your immediate family, to listen to right now, and what you find difficult to listen to because of your close relationship. This is a “listening agency service” that provides texts, audio, and videos by editors,
photographers, etc.
1. You can bring out things that you cannot talk about honestly due to embarrassment due to being a relative.
2. You can delve into things that are difficult to touch on with each other, such as family taboos.
3.The interview itself becomes a special time for reflecting on your life and expressing gratitude.
4.It will be a priceless way of giving back, not things or money. 5. Interviewees can also make surprising discoveries and realizations. -Recommended for the following people-
-Those who are busy and do not have enough time to spend with their parents ●Those who have become estranged from their parents due to a slight misunderstanding.
●If you are thinking of giving your parents a gift that is neither a trip nor an item.
●Those who want to leave a message that transcends generations to their children and grandchildren.
●Those considering business succession
