Admin’s Note

The recent statement from the president of Fukushima University prompted reflection on society’s response to educational-themed videos. To protect the reputation of educational institutions, creators must exercise caution. This is especially true for sensitive topics, which require careful handling. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, it’s important to understand the perspectives of those affected. I hope this situation sparks discussions about ethics and responsibility in video production.
