I participate in this activity because I find it exciting and fun to build things!
I have overcome many seemingly impossible difficulties in the production of the roller coaster with my friends. I think the process of trial and error, the sense of accomplishment after overcoming such difficulties, and the moment when one's image takes shape are the real thrill of building things. I will continue to work hard so that many people can experience this joy!

"Maybe we can do it too?!" That's how we started 3 years ago. I wasn't satisfied and kept making improvements, and before I knew it, it was the third year! Building things is a lot of fun! I would like everyone to experience this fun! I will continue to work with this motto: "Make manufacturing more accessible!"

This is a project that I have been involved in for three years. The original idea was conceived after the project was restricted by the coronavirus. In the beginning we said to ourselves, "There is no way we can do this," or "We don't even know what it looks like," but somehow we managed to complete the project, and in the end we were left with a sense of accomplishment. I will continue to do my best with this idea in mind: "Everything starts with a challenge."

My motto is "to bring smiles to people's faces through craftsmanship!" When I heard that the coaster at the school festival could not carry people, I thought it was a waste of all the things they had made, so I joined the group! I am going to like to continue to enjoy making coasters and share my passion for building things that bring smiles to many people's faces!

I'll join in too. I came this far with just that light-hearted feeling. Making things is a profound thing, and the enjoyment changes depending on many factors. Making furniture and tools is fine, but if possible I want to create a life of fun.

I want to live my life doing something fun every day! I participated in this coaster production for the simple reason that "it looked like fun."
Then I found it to be a very comfortable place! It's so much fun! We all like making things, so we get along well with each other! I especially get along with Shota!
I'm glad I DM'd him because I thought, "He seems interesting!" I'm glad I got to meet the seniors. I love all the seniors at the Roller Coaster project!
From now on, I'm going to enjoy making things more and try my best to transmit the "joy of making things"!
