connections through the sounds and music
yielded by our products.
To achieve this goal, we value communication
with customers, beginning with artists, and
hone technologies and know-how in the
creation of musical instruments. Our activities
also include running Yamaha music schools,
sponsoring and supporting numerous and
diverse musical competitions and events, and
providing amateur bands with venues to
perform. Our efforts confirm our belief in the
necessity of establishing a sound and music
culture through such activities.
People around the world love music, making
it a common human asset. And Yamaha is a
cultural company with sound and music at its
core, boasting many unique strengths in these
fields. I believe that each Yamaha employee
takes pride in the Yamaha brand and in
supplying original products and services that
bring inspiration to many. By doing so, we can
continually build corporate value.
I ask all shareholders for their continued
support and understanding.
