A Comment from Mr. Ishida: I never thought I would get to work with YKK and Perfume on this fun production again! I was half surprised and half overjoyed when I heard that the sequel to this production had received the green light. I’ve had a lot of freedom to take this production where I wanted it to go, and this time around the staff have really outdone themselves; I feel that it was their creativity, and not me as the director, that really carried this work to make it a work by Studio Colorido as a group. I hope you enjoy it! Theme song: Perfume “Hold Your Hand” “Hold Your Hand” was released on July 16th, 2014 as the B-side of “Cling Cling”. About Perfume Perfume is a Japanese techno-pop girl group from Hiroshima, consisting of a-chan、KASHIYUKA and NOCCHi. They have made their major debut in 2005.They had their major debut in 2005.

Perfume will begin their American shows from August 26th to September 9th. Their world tour in 2014 was a great success. The Japan Dome Tour has been confirmed as well. 3 Comments from Perfume: When two fasteners join and become one, things that seemed impossible on your own become possible. When two hands join to become one, it enable us to understand the other person’s sentiments. “Hold Your Hand” is perfect for this YKK animation theme, and it filled me with emotion even though it’s our song. The music video for this song was completed with photos taken by staff members, close friends, and fans. The many hands of people, not only in Japan but from all over the world, connect and weave the lyrics. Fasteners connect people’s hearts. It may seem far, but I sensed something very intimate. I hope that the passion of YKK and the sentiments of us Japanese who wish to connect beyond oceans will reach as many people as possible. (a-chan) We’re thrilled that our song will be used again for “FASTENING DAYS 2”, following the first installment. Thank you so much!! The message of the song chosen, “Hold Your Hand”, is that even if you put on a brave front and battle against something alone, everyone shares the desire to protect their loved ones; you can be stronger with the presence of comrades and take a step toward a new world by joining hands. It overlaps in many aspects with the worldview of this animation as well as the sentiment of ‘linking’ that YKK values, and I was able to find the song even more engaging by listening to it with the animation! I hope that this animation from YKK and our song will encourage people to be brave and protect their loved ones! (KASHIYUKA) Oh my gosh! The two seem to have grown up a bit since last time?! Haven’t they?! They’re so cute!! >_< Thank you for all your support. And thank you for choosing our song again as the ending theme! I greatly admire that, like your fasteners, this animation again is a painstakingly made labor of love. The adorable and witty world has new characters making it even livelier. The charm and messages are packed into a short time, and it was so much fun to watch! The action-packed segment at the end made me want to shout out, “That’s right! YKK fasteners are absolutely durable!!!”. Love it. The animation is full of highlights again. (^-^) I hope that lots of people will see this and connect with each other. Thank you!

Engineering design is widely recognized as a field that can generate key innova - tions for complex problems, such as those elucidated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, engineering design training is not widely accessible to the global community, particularly to people experiencing the challenges that the SDGs are striving to address. Purpose. This manuscript describes the Ignite program created by the Center for Global Women’s Health Technologies (GWHT) at Duke University, which uses the human-centered design framework to apply engineering design concepts to address specific challenges associated with the SDGs. Design/Method. Undergraduate students participate in a design course (BME 290) to learn how to create and deliver a technological solution to increase access to light at night, which is a significant chal- lenge in many communities around the globe. A subset of the undergraduate students partnered with an energy-poor community in which they implemented a curriculum based on the skills learned in BME 290. Results. Since 2014, 110 Duke students have taken BME 290, and 22 of those students traveled internationally, collectively teaching 275 students in Kenya, India, and Guatemala. Students in Kenya SUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2 1 ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION Using Human-Centered Design to Connect Engineering Concepts to Sustainable Development Goals formed an engineering club and taught the curriculum to an additional 52 peers.

    Anime in America, Disney in Japan: The Global Exchange of Popular Media Visualized through Disney’s “Stitch” Nicolette Lucinda Pisha Asheville, North Carolina Bachelor of Arts, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2008 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the College^oEWilliam and Mary in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts American Studies Program The College of William and Mary January, 2010 APPROVAL PAGE This Thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts NicoletteAucinda Pisha Approved ®y the £r, 2009 Associate Professor Arthur Knight, American Studies and English The College of William and Mary,, Visiting Assistant Professor Timothy Barnard, American Studies The College of William and Mary Assistant Professor Hiroshi Kitamura, History The College of William and Mary ABSTRACT PAGE My thesis examines the complexities of Disney’s Stitch character, a space alien that appeals to both American and Japanese audiences.

By focusing on the Disney Company’s relationship with the Japanese consumer market, I am able to provide evidence of instances when influence from the local Japanese culture appears in both Disney animation and products. For example, Stitch contains many of the same physical characteristics found in both Japanese anime and manga characters, and a small shop selling local Japanese crafts is located inside the Tokyo Disneyland theme park. I completed onsite research at Tokyo Disneyland and learned about city life in Tokyo.
