Six months have passed since the disaster.
Freedom's next adventure will be in this building.
It's located on Ribbon Street, a five-minute walk from Nanao Station.
It's called "FREEDOM3 Re:BORN".
We decided on this name immediately because of the location on Ribbon Street and because Freedom has truly been resurrected from the disaster.
So much has happened in the six months since the disaster.
The earthquake happened on New Year's Day, and the scenery was like the end of the world, and I was filled with despair. I lost everything that day - the hardships and efforts I had accumulated up until that point, the happy memories, the places I had visited.
The scenery from that day onwards was a colorless, gray landscape. It was a world without dreams or hopes.
In the days leading up to this decision, I really didn't feel alive. It was like I had been erased from the world.
But with so many people passing on the baton to me, and everyone supporting me emotionally, and thanks to the blessings of new and wonderful encounters, I was able to hang on by the skin of my teeth.
I'm truly grateful.
And I realized that if you don't give up, your dreams will come true.
From here, I think I can finally get back on my feet.
Having experienced the earthquake and been affected by it, I thought long and hard about what I could do, and I thought that rebuilding Freedom, something that only I can do, is what I can do in response to the earthquake.
More than anything, I wanted to do what I could for the people in front of me who supported me.
And a space where everyone can smile.
A live space where travelers can gather and express themselves,
where we have night activities and events, and laugh together over trivial things.
I wanted to create that again.
That said, the building needs repairs and renovations, so it looks like we'll have to start from scratch again. Just like Freedom 1 and 2. It looks like we'll be cleaning and repairing again.
For now, I hope to hold private lodgings and events and make progress little by little.
I'm really grateful that we can move forward like this.
There are still many people who have not been able to get over the earthquake.
Just like I was a month ago.
I hope it will become a place where we can be there for such people.
Most series have 1, 2, 3, and then 3, so I hope that Freedom 3 will be able to use the experience of Freedom 1 and 2 to help in the reconstruction of this area damaged by the earthquake. For now, the reconstruction of Freedom is essential...
Just like Freedom 1 and 2, we will cherish and love this property of Freedom 3.
I hope everyone will come and visit Freedom again.
Thank you very much.
