I hope to draw and make more art, and improve my Japanese. I hope Japan's decision-makers figure out the best ways to accommodate the inevitable flood of visitors coming its way, while also maintaining the unique identity and culture that brings so many people here in the first place. I hope for a better-informed global society in which people stop making important decisions based on things like fear and unfamiliarity, and whose citizens instead utilize reason and scientific fact.
