Why Did I Choose Meiji University? - I Knew from the Get-Go, I Wanted to Study in Japan Hello Future Study Abroad Students!! If you are reading this, you are probably interested in studying abroad or have already decided to go but need to figure out where and what school you would like to spend your time abroad at : )) I studied abroad during my Spring 2019 Semester at Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan and this is my testimonial or review of the school/program. I am not sponsored by the school in any means to give this review. I am providing this review to give you insight to a possible school that you may have interest in studying at! This is entirely my own opinion and many others may have different thoughts on their experiences. One of the struggles I had when deciding a school to go to was..lack of reviews or difficulties finding people to share their experiences! So, hopefully this can give you a bit more information from a student’s perspective that has studied abroad at this institution so it allows you to make a decision on whether or not this school is the one for you! Now on to the review : )) !! Why did I choose Meiji University? - I knew from the get-go, I wanted to study in Japan. Where in Japan, however, I was unsure. After going through the options...it really came down to being in country-side Kyoto or Bustlin’ City Tokyo. I chose Tokyo because I wanted to be in the city that Japan is known for. I decided I wanted to be as close to the city as possible and really experience what Tokyo was all about. This is also coming from someone who LOVES suburban Orange County, California. I was very concerned Tokyo would be like Los Angeles, which I am not fond of. However, in my honest opinion, Tokyo is nothing like Los Angeles other than the fact it is also a huge, busy metropolitan! And, I chose Meiji University since it didn’t require me to be there for a year and it worked the best with my electives and graduation requirements at the time. How was Meiji’s University program? - I’ll try to break this down to the best I can without overwhelming you with info. ● Campus - Compared to CSULB, Meiji has a variety of different campuses spread out across Tokyo. You could be taking 1 class in one city...and taking a train to get to another class...in a completely different city. (People have done this and are fine because they either have enough of a time gap to get there and transportation in Tokyo is amazing) - Each campus is dedicated to a different “school.” I went to Nakano Campus for a majority of my classes which were in the school of Global Japanese Studies. This campus was about 20 minutes by train from where my dorm was. (not counting the time it takes to walk to the station and to the campus : )) ) - Here is a map for reference: (my school is the pink one) - Something to consider is that...some people may find it annoying to have to travel to different schools just to take certain classes...and would rather just be at one campus the whole time. You can do this by taking classes just at your one school which is what I did but in the case you have other interests at other schools...the extra commuting you may have to do is something to keep in mind. (It’s not like CSULB where all schools are just at one giant campus) Sometimes they held orientation at one campus that is completely different from where you would be taking classes as well. - Since I went to school at Nakano campus and you find yourself going there as well, please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have in regards to the campus. - **I do want to say Nakano campus has a 6th floor where you can go outside and get this incredible view of Tokyo...and on clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji!!! I miss it dearly. ● Faculty and Staff - From my experience, I had very kind and really interesting faculty. The professors were nice and polite to international students. The staff ranging from the kitchen to the international student office were all friendly and super helpful and patient when it came to assisting students. - I even have one professor I keep in touch with on Facebook! - The dorm managers were also nice and although, we had some language barriers, we all were able to get along just fine!!! ● Dorms - Meiji University offers a variety of dorms to fit people’s different styles and needs. - I personally recommend staying at Izumi International House. I had nothing but an amazing time in that housing. It was very clean and well-kept. You get your own room and bathroom to yourself. You do share a floor with 5-6 other students however, there is a great balance of privacy and interaction with others. You get a kitchen and dining room that you all share as well. - I can’t speak too much on the other housings...but this one had no curfew and the most freedom and independence for students in my opinion. - It is quite a walk from the station but all the more reason to exercise! - I can’t express how important it is to read Meiji’s student exchange housing and see which would be BEST for you...do not skip any details whatsoever! You will be living here for a while!! - Also, it is possible, the dorm rules and amenities could have changed since I studied! So be mindful! - **pictures should be on the Meiji University Fact Sheet...however feel free to message me to see any of my own personal pics! ● Programs and Classes - I would say that Meiji University’s class scheduling could come off as more complex than CSULB’s system. I remember being confused when trying to plan out my schedule and classes. - The classes I took were typically 2 units each. I had to make sure I took a total of 12 units worth of classes to count as full-time for CSULB. This could be weird since at CSULB, one class typically counts for 3 units. So you may feel as if you’re taking more classes to meet that full-time student status. - I also felt a little limited in what I could take because there were certain classes that only Japanese language speakers could take. If you didn’t know any Japanese whatsoever, you would be taking classes in the English-Track. - You do have the option of taking Beginning Japanese language as a class!! (which is what I did) I believe it’s a total of 4 units for beginning Japanese. 3 units for the language class + 1 unit of Kanji. - It’s entirely up to you what you want to take and what works best for your schedule. You can definitely contact me on what I took and my schedule : )) - You also have the opportunity to take classes with Japanese students as well since they allow Japanese students to be in the English-Track program. It’s a great way to meet Japanese students, practice your Japanese perhaps, and just partake in their learning and cultural style. I enjoyed building class-room relationships with them!! - There are clubs you can join on campus, however, I did not partake in any mainly because I couldn’t find one interesting enough for me. Also, some of them wouldn’t allow you to join if you didn’t know Japanese. This is just because they may not know as much English and it would be difficult for someone who knows no Japanese to join. I recommend joining one if you find one that suits your interests and allows you to join regardless if you know Japanese or not!! : )) - If you’re looking to practice Japanese and make friends with international students, there’s many groups and opportunities for that as well! ● Library - This is random but I liked the Izumi Library on Izumi Campus. I think a school’s library is important since you want to have a place where you can study in peace while feeling like you belong to the school. It’s a really nice library with glass windows, nap areas, and floors. There’s also group study rooms with white boards! - The Nakano library isn’t as big, but it’s still a place where students get together to study (both international and regular students!!) ● Food !! - Not enough people talk about this in my opinion but FOOD!!! Food served at your university is SO, SO important!!! - The food is very affordable in Japan. You can grab food from nearby conbinis (the convenience stores in Japan are AMAZING!!!!!!!) The cafeteria food is really good!! You can order via a vending machine and line up with your ordered ticket. - The food is well...Japanese! So don’t expect...your typical American food. Think curry, katsudon bowls, soba noodles, or ramen! - I did not have a meal plan, so I can’t speak much on that...I do know other people who did do the meal plan, so I can definitely try to get you resources on that...but I was perfectly fine without a meal plan. Lunch was a great time to hang out with my classmates. - They also have cool desserts in the mini mart! What are some weird things I came across in regards to how the University works? - One thing I really have to warn about is if you want to use a GYM ​ - Signing up to use the gym at Meiji University is just...weirdly difficult and complex to the point where I didn’t even bother with signing up.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2013 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, Emiko and Haruichi Kato. Through the Kaleidoscope: Uchiyama Bookstore and Sino-Japanese Visionaries in War and Peace Naoko Kato, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: Mark Metzler The Republican period in Chinese history (1911-1949) is generally seen as a series of anti-imperialist and anti-foreign movements that coincide with the development of Chinese nationalism. The continual ties between Chinese nationalists and Japanese intellectuals are often overlooked. In the midst of the Sino-Japanese war, Uchiyama Kanzō, a Christian pacifist who was the owner of the bookstore, acted as a cultural liaison between May Fourth Chinese revolutionaries who were returned students from Japan, and Japanese left-wing activists working for the Communist cause, or visiting Japanese writers eager to meet their Chinese counterparts. I explore the relationship between Japanese and Chinese cultural literati in Shanghai, using Uchiyama Bookstore as the focal point.

To that end, we offer a wide variety of subjects so as to instill our “well-rounded experts,” as it were, with compassion and global-mindedness to pursue a richer and more varied lifestyle. Put simply, we hope that these will be the people to spearhead the creation of Japan as a fully internationalized nation that is as righteous and virtuous as it is prosperous. In order to achieve those lofty goals, students of the School of Business Administration are required to take a large number of general education and language courses. Specialist subjects, meanwhile, are taught in three discrete departments to enable students to delve more deeply into their chosen fields: the Department of Business Administration, the Department of Accounting and the Department of Public Management. Established in 1953, the Meiji University School of Business Administration was the first of its kind among privately-owned colleges. As we contemplate our 60th birthday in 2013, we take immense pride in the success of our alumni who have made rewarding careers in the private sector (at for-profit and non-profit organizations) and government institutions, as well as in such specialized occupations as certified public accountants and tax accountants.

  • The Share Transfer Described in This Notice Involves Securities of a Foreign Company
    The share transfer described in this notice involves securities of a foreign company. The offer is subject to disclosure requirements of a foreign country that are different from those of the United States. Financial information included in this document, if any, was excerpted from financial statements prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

You may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment. You should be aware that the issuer may purchase securities otherwise than under the share transfer, such as in the open market or through privately negotiated purchases.

You may think it is one of highly developed countries with well-established economy, sophisticated infrastructure, educated pop- ulation, and stable society. It might be true. However, it is also another reality that Japan has been facing various urgent problems – aging society with less number of children, de-population in rural area with overconcentration to big cities, hollowed-out domestic industries, deterioration of local communities, weakening family ties, and vulnerability against natural disasters. As the coun- try developed, it has been facing negative side of modernization. So, you can see Japan as a country with highly “advanced” social challenges.
