Celebrating New Fiscal Year

In Japan, we are living according to the fiscal calendar, which starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st. Enrollment and graduation ceremonies of school are held in April and March respectively, and freshmen join his/her company in April. The annual account settlement date of many companies in Japan is March 31st. Thus, I like to celebrate April 1th because this day means something new.

A couple of managers left our company today (Mar. 31st), and they will work at our associated companies. A new manager will come to our company tomorrow (Apr. 1st.) The internal environment of my company will be updated in response to this personnel change. In addition, the external environment of my company will also rapidly change in accordance with the earthquake and subsequent crisis.

I am feeling rather fresher on this New Fiscal Year’s Day than the last New Year’s Day.
