On a beautiful summer afternoon at 1:00 PM on 2nd August 2025, we came together once more for Off-Kai ver. 2.0!

We kicked things off with a fun little game and introduced ourselves in Japanese, followed by plenty of relaxed and enjoyable conversation. I was also delighted to welcome my friend Miriam-san (a special ‘guest audience’ for our Lightning Talks) —she thoroughly enjoyed the event!

Some of you mentioned that it would be lovely to meet again around Christmas time. While the festive season can be a busy period, if there's interest and motivation, please feel free to take the lead in organizing it!

Thank you all so much for coming. It was truly a wonderful gathering.

Warm regards,
Noriko
