Some members of our "BuNGO Channel"
joined the meeting this evening. "BuNGO Channel" is a voluntary group started by those people who want to do something for vitalization of Oita Prefecture. The group is just a half year old and this is the first actual activity this time. |

 BuNGO Channel comes from Bungo (the old name of Oita) Channel. We understand the word channel as a place to encounter many people and exchange each other, as this is our main target. The total number of the evening is 15 including our group (from left: Nakamura, Suyama, and Murakami.) |
