Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'll start a regular conference. Mayor, please.

Mayor
Yes, today I would like to report on the gathering to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens next year. First of all, the outline was decided on January 13, 2025. Adult's Day. It will be held at Yokohama Arena, the same place as last year. A live stream will also be held on the day. The target audience is expected to be approximately 35,000. It is the holding method, but the ceremony of 2025 will be held in two parts. It was held twice before Corona, but recently it has been held twice, three times, four times, five times, and distributed times, but this time it will be held twice for the first time in five years. Prior application is required for participation. The target people have already begun to send invitation letters one by one, and they have access from the two-dimensional code described in the guide letter and apply in advance. Each ceremony time and target ward are as you can see. Next, I would like to introduce the executive committee that has been involved in the planning of the ceremony. The Executive Committee is made up of 10 twenty-year-old citizens by open call for participants. This executive committee has been active as a member of the organizer since May of this year, and has a meeting about once every two weeks, for example, to deepen attachment to Yokohama. We had you think about contents such as planning, moderation on the day of the ceremony, vows of 20 years old, etc., or devised the ceremony theme that will be announced in the future. Although it is a ceremony theme, the ceremony theme for 2025 was decided as "Beginning". Today, the executive committee has come to Yuna Nomoto, the chairman of the executive committee, and Kaihi Sato, the executive committee. I would like you to talk about your thoughts on this ceremony theme and the planning of the executive committee that you are preparing. Okay, Mr. Nomoto, Mr. Sato, thank you very much.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Nomoto:
It is Yuna Nomoto, the chairman of the gathering executive committee celebrating the 20-year-old citizen in 2025.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Sato:
I'm Kaihi Sato, a gathering executive committee celebrating a twenty-year-old citizen. We look forward to seeing you today.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Nomoto:
Now, I would like to talk about the thoughts contained in the 2025 ceremony theme "Beginning". Born in 2004 and 2005, we spent the high school days in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a restrictive life, I sometimes faced many difficulties and difficulties, but with the support of the people around me, I was able to move forward step by step. Now in 2024, the impact of the coronavirus has gradually decreased, and it seems that society as a whole has made a new start. And we, who reach the milestone of 20 years old this year, have set this theme because we want to move step by step toward a new future and reach a new beginning. Then, on the next slide, please.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Sato:
I would like to explain about the executive committee plan that the executive committee is working on for the ceremony on the day. We, the executive committee, are preparing several pages of commemorative booklets to be distributed to 20-year-olds. Among them, the events in Yokohama and Japan that have been impressive in the 20 years since we were born are summarized in a chronological table. In addition, we have created a separate page that introduces food and shops with roots in Yokohama where we grew up. I hope that you will take this opportunity to look back on your life so far and make your local Yokohama more like it. In addition, we have created a video to be played in the arena on the day of the ceremony. The content of the video will surely sympathize with us who have lived in Yokohama, there is Yokohama, and another MV-style video in which one adult person who came to society plays an active part with a message I am making it. Even if it is difficult to go out to society in the future, it contains a message that we will support and work hard with irreplaceable people. Finally, the gathering executive committee celebrating the 20-year-old citizens carefully selected recommended books that people of the same age should read, and also introduced recommended books from celebrities besides the executive committee. I also create a page that I have. That's all about my explanation.

Mayor
Yes, Mr. Nomoto and Mr. Sato, thank you. We hope that the flexible imagination of the Executive Committee will make it an event suitable for a new start. That's all about this.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'll accept your question on this matter. If you have any questions, please just check the microphone switch. First of all, please.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
This is Matsubara of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Thank you very much for your attention. First of all, I would like to ask the mayor, but frankly ask these 20-year-olds for a congratulatory comment or a comment for everyone.

Mayor
Yes, there are about 35,000 people about the gathering to celebrate the 20-year-old citizens this time, so we hope that it will be a wonderful event that will become a new "start" for 35,000 people Doing. Everyone who is 20 years old wants to take on challenges with free ideas while taking responsibility for their actions. . That's all.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
Thank you very much. Another thing is that Yokohama City is probably progressing without omission due to the declining birthrate and aging population, but in order to continue being selected by young people, we want to strengthen something and what kind of initiatives as Yokohama City in the future Do you think like that?

Mayor
Yes, thank you. I think that young people are going to create a city where they can feel the potential. I think there are many things that you want to do. If you are pursuing academic work, you may want to master what you are learning as it is, and some people may be interested in society and economy. In addition, I think there are people who are interested in fashion and food. I wonder if there may be various interests, but I think that such a city where you can feel the potential of various areas is wonderful.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
Thank you very much. I would like to ask the two members of the executive committee to comment, but first of all, at the age of 20, what you want to try like this is your own "beginning" or if you have any, please tell me.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Nomoto:
Thank you for your question. I would like to respond to you. Well, what I want to challenge beyond the age of 20 is myself now attending university, and I will reach the age of 20 in December of this month, but throughout the past year, I still want to contribute to the city of Yokohama, what kind of way I would like to contribute to the city of Yokohama in the future, and what kind of way I would like to contribute to the city of Yokohama.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Sato:
What I want to challenge from me, for me, I think that the gathering executive committee celebrating this 20-year-old citizen is a challenge in my great self, and it is a very clear success experience in my life I don't think so much about it, and I would like to take this opportunity to make a gathering to celebrate the 20-year-old citizen absolutely successful and carve it as a success experience in my life I am thinking. I'll do my best.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much. That's all about it.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about each company? Mr. Sankei Shimbun.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I'm Hashimoto of the Sankei Shimbun. Thank you very much. I would like to ask you two of you, but I'm sorry again, but it was a limited life and high school life due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but could you tell us what was the most difficult and how you got it?

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Nomoto:
Thank you for your question. When I was in high school, I was working hard mainly on student council activities. The reason why I entered the student council activities is that when I was in the first grade of high school, there was a period when I could not go to school due to coronavirus, and there was a period during which I took classes online, and I still have a distance to my friends. I joined the student council because I wanted to experience the fact that I couldn't actually meet people and do something that could connect with people. I was appointed as a student council president, but when I was a second-year high school student council president, I was unable to go out of school and contribute to the area outside the school where I did something. What I was thinking about was to contribute to the community. I wanted to go out and work on volunteer activities, so I was very excited about what I couldn't do and what I couldn't do if I wanted to do. However, at that time, as a word spoken by a school teacher or friend, I did not regret what I could not do now, but based on advice on what I could do now and worked on it, I changed the guidelines of my student council in the direction of solving the problem, and managed to carry out my proud activities as a student council president.

Gathering Executive Committee to celebrate the twenty-year-old citizens Mr. Sato:
When I was a high school student, it was quite painful that cultural festival, sports festivals, and school excursions were gone all at once, but in the last year I was able to recover the events little by little. If you want to get over, it's rude to say something with your friends. On this occasion, club activities and other activities have increased a little rest, so I think it was the biggest thing to go to various places and support each other with friends.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? Then, the question on this matter will end with that. We will continue to move on to the photo session, so please come in front of us.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, I'm going to ask the general question now. If you have more than one question, I would like you to summarize it. First of all, please.

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
Last weekend there was the best parade in Baystars in Japan, but this time the economic effect was of course, but it was an improvement in the royalties of citizens. I think it has also contributed greatly to the improvement of the brand power of the city. In the future, how will the city proceed with such sports performances or sports, as well as cooperation with the company? If you have any questions, please let us know.

Mayor
Do you mean that a company is a sports or a plastic company?

Nikkei Shimbun Matsubara:
Yes.

Mayor
Thank you for your question. First of all, we had a parade on Saturday, and as many as 300,000 people came to a short distance of 1.5 km, so I think that we were able to celebrate Baystars' best in Japan in Yokohama. I thought it was an opportunity to share joy with fans and citizens. In addition, as Yokohama City, we coordinated with related organizations and lit up the city in blue. I've heard that you have been featured quite a bit on SNS. I've heard that the migration population until night has increased considerably, and from the shopping streets, there are more traffic than usual. It was said that it had a very good effect on sales. I've received such a voice. In the future, professional sports and Yokohama are cities with very many professional sports teams. While various teams are working hard, I think it would be very good to be able to create opportunities to celebrate with the citizens at such milestones such as victory. I mentioned the word royalty earlier, but I think it will give you a sense of unity in sports. Our team has become the best in Japan. I think that something called Civic Pride can be made. Well, I think that the evidence was that 300,000 people gathered along the 1.5 km roadside.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
Yes, how about each company? Mr. Sankei.

Sankei Shimbun Yamasawa:
Excuse me. My name is Yamasawa of the Sankei Shimbun. I would like to ask you about the wage increase in Transportation Bureau. It was announced that the largest base will be made as a countermeasure against the shortage of bus drivers, but how do you see the current situation of the shortage of drivers as the mayor now, and even if you raise wages, As the population decline progresses, competition with the private sector and competition with other industries will continue, so I wonder if some drastic measures will be needed? How do you improve the attractiveness of the workplace? Is there a need for new technologies such as autonomous driving? In addition, I think that it will be a debate to introduce foreigners ahead, but I would like the mayor's thoughts.

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. First of all, the need for bears is now being shouted nationwide and the need for base-up are being shouted, but it is necessary to improve the base-up of bus crew members more and more. I'm thinking like that. Last time, I think it was during the recruitment in May, but I think it was May. As a result of improving the base and treatment, it led to the recruitment of many people. And this time, too, it's a big increase in salary. We want to secure new human resources by doing so and protect the feet of citizens. In addition, I would like to strengthen the application of young applicants, and the staff of Transportation Bureau will actively promote the promotion of staff with a reality that this is something like this.

Sankei Shimbun Yamasawa:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. Asahi.

Asahi Shimbun Yoshinaga:
My name is Yoshinaga of the Asahi Shimbun. I will ask you about the next mayoral election. Last week, there was a party to establish a supporter's association, and it was said that there were as many as 1,000 participants in the organizer's announcement, but I would like to tell you if you have any future policies as far as you can talk now.

Mayor
Thank you for your question. I am very grateful that those who support my municipal administration have formed a support party and have held such a meeting again. I think it's a message that you'll do your best for the remaining term, so I'd like to do my best every day for the remaining term.

Asahi Shimbun Yoshinaga:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. Tokyo.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
It's Kamiya of the Tokyo Shimbun. Regarding the Yokohama International Pool, I think that there was a request from the Japan Swimming Federation for an interview with the chairman, but I heard from the Federation that there was an answer that the mayor could not receive it after all. However, the answer and reason were not clear, but as a mayor, I would like you to tell me a little reason for that, for example, whether it is a policy that does not accept all specific user groups like this .

Mayor
Because we are discussing with each other at the practical level of the jurisdiction, the competent bureau and related organizations. So I think it would be nice to have the top talk separately, but since we are carefully exchanging opinions at the office level and the jurisdiction level, it is said that we were watching the transition.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
This means that as a mayor, we should proceed with the story at the jurisdiction level.

Mayor
I knew that I was exchanging opinions carefully.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
I think the other party had a request to talk with the tops, but the reason why I didn't respond accordingly?

Mayor
That's why I've just said.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
It's not the top, but it's better to discuss the details in the jurisdiction.

Mayor
At the responsible level, the office level and the person in charge level. I understand that the discussion was proceeding carefully.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
That's something, for the other party, it seems that there were some places that I didn't understand.

Mayor
Is that right? But now, I think we are proceeding with your opinion carefully under the jurisdiction.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, thank you for your question. My name is Takanashi, Sports Promotion Section Manager. After drafting, we were recruiting citizen opinions, and there were many opinions on sports flooring throughout the year. Based on that, I think that we must respect the results this time. The secretariat believes that even if we meet and receive a request for the survival of the pool, we must answer that it is actually difficult to leave the pool. There is a concern that the request and answer will be parallel, so it is difficult for the group who requested it to meet, but the prefecture in the form that I would like to coordinate with the competent bureau and the Japan Swimming Federation We have been asking the Swimming Federation so far, and we have made such adjustments.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Then, do you tell the other party as it is now?

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, I'm telling you.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
Even if a request is made, it is clear that it is difficult for the city to answer.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, I'm telling you clearly.

Tokyo Shimbun Kamiya:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Kanagawa Shimbun-sha.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
This is the Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda. I'd like to ask you two points. Now, in relation to the supporter's association from Mr. Asahi, it is one point first, but the supporters' association was launched again, and the officers of the supporter's association clearly expressed expectations for the next year's mayoral election I guess, but if you are thinking about when you will be expressing your attitude toward next year's mayor election, timing, for example, whether there is a possibility of the year or later, if you are thinking about it next year or after next year, I thinking.

Mayor
Yes, first of all, I have said that I am thinking only about doing the remaining term firmly. So, I'm working hard every day now, so I'm not in a possible situation right now, so I don't have any particular answer.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Okay, thank you. Another point is the international pool, but I think that there is a plan to create an auxiliary pool next to the sub pool as a plan for examination now, but it has been shown in the redevelopment plan so far In the pattern of redevelopment to convert the floor and unifying the pool into a gymnasium, it is 2 billion yen higher to abolish the pool than floor conversion. However, the running cost will be reduced by 210 million yen every year as a burden on the city, so I think that it is shown that it is possible to collect it, but if the temporary pool will be once again in the future I would like to ask you about that cost if you can do it, as far as you can tell me.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
From the competent authority.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, thank you for your question. We are currently examining various ways to formulate the original draft. Among them, it is a plan that we are considering in various ways, and when it is time to report, I would like to report it, but at present, we are currently making a trial calculation including expenses .

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. So, I think that the whole redevelopment cost itself has not yet been clarified, but it is an image to be issued together with the original draft, including that area, or rubbed after the plan comes out I'd like to ask you if it's a flow of drafting the original draft.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, thank you. In the future, whether or not to pay the total maintenance fee will be outsourced, commissioned, or in the draft, in the form of PFI, but there are places where the amount of money in making the required standard will come out first, so I would like to consider how to put it out when issuing the draft in the future.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
Thank you very much. Finally, one more point, the direction of the city to abolish the pool at the stage where the citizen's opinion was issued, and if it is possible to collect the subpool, maybe the tournament in the subpool now I think that there was a plan to make another 25m pool in order to survive, but it will be the process of soliciting citizen opinions once more based on this, in the future?

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, at the moment, we are considering various things based on public opinion solicitation and opinions received from groups. As we want to put out original bill reflecting the opinion in future, we do not particularly think that we do citizen opinion offer again. In addition, we have issued a schedule for the original draft before, but we are thinking after December. That's all.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Takeda:
I understand. Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Mr. Sankei.

Sankei Shimbun Hashimoto:
I'm Hashimoto of the Sankei Shimbun. In addition, I'm sorry because of the pool, but I'm almost covered with the current story, but one of the things that this redevelopment plan was pointed out in the comprehensive external audit in FY2021. On the other hand, I wonder why it is a cause, but this time, there is a story about the construction of an auxiliary pool, whether the point of comprehensive external audit is reflected in the original draft, or what the mayor has been pointed out again. What many things that the mayor has been pointed out again, I thinks I think about how many things I think. Maybe a little more, the draft may come out before the next regular meeting, so please. Yes.

Sports, Culture and Dynamic City Development Bureau Sports Promotion Section Manager Takanashi:
Yes, thank you for your question. Of course, it is not possible to ignore the financial cost-effectiveness and make a new addition, so we are currently examining various things including such parts. I don't think about it in the form of ignoring it at all.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Kanagawa Shimbun-sha.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Kaji:
This is Kaji of the Kanagawa Shimbun-sha. I would like to ask you about your response to the tightness of the emergency medical system. In Matsusaka City or Ibaraki Prefecture in Mie Prefecture for the purpose of preventing tightness, etc., after transportation, for example, after being transported by abrasion or low-grade fever, if it is judged to be mild by a doctor, the selected medical treatment fee and money The operation of taking care has begun. We think that it is one method to prevent tightness, but ask if there is thought of the mayor about this.

Mayor
Yes, thank you for your question. We understand that it is the intention of the local government that is going to reduce excessive dispatch of ambulances by collecting separately from insurance medical treatment in the form of selected medical expenses, At present, we do not consider in Motoichi. While paying close attention to such trends in other cities, I think that there are certainly requests that do not fit into such emergency dispatch as Motoichi, so I will make repeated requests to refrain from such requests I'm thinking about going.

Kanagawa Shimbun-sha Kaji:
Thank you very much.

Policy Administration Bureau Press Manager Yano:
How about other things? Are you sure? The above is the end of the regular meeting. Thank you very much.
