Regular Athletic Meets of the Future

 At the event "Regular Athletic Meets of the Future", I made a presentation entitled "The Challenges of 2020", which called for the development of sports in which anyone can participate and become a superhuman.

 We have always been wanting to enhance our bodies. In order to enhance our arms and legs, we have made canes, artificial limbs, and life buoys, followed by ships, cars, airplanes, and then rockets. We have become able to move long distances at lightning-fast speeds.
 In order to enhance our sight and hearing, we have made spectacles, hearing aids, and speakers, followed by telephones, televisions, and then the Internet. We have become able to communicate over long distances at lightning-fast speeds.
 Our bodies have been enhanced through external objects, but by restoring that technology to our bodies, what exactly are our enhanced bodies? This is the question that is being asked. Let us move forward. Let us become superhumans. Let us create superhuman sports.

 What is necessary for this to occur? We must develop the technology for this. We must gather our design capabilities together. We also need to have the managerial abilities to run big projects. Rules and government policies need to be put in place to define the extent to which it is accepted by the society. We will be tested on our ability to put all of this together.
 That alone is not enough. We need money. It is important to have athletes and players who are willing to put this plan into action. The crowds of spectators and participants are also important. In addition, we need a place to hold events like this. In other words, all of these things must occur. We will create a platform for this. Let everyone lend their strength for us to create this platform together.

 I have started 2 projects.
 The first is the Superhuman Sports Committee. It will develop new sports by gathering scientists representing the fields of VR, robotics, neuroscience, sports science, and games. We will bring in the industrial world and the government into this venture from now on.
 The other is the plan to create a digital, content-based district. It is a plan to create a hub of technology, design, and business in the Takeshiba area of Tokyo. The hub will be opened in 2019, and I wish to hold the Superhuman Olympics there.
 This place is also a special ward in the strategic planning of the country, so let us have it associated as the "special superhuman ward". From Tokyo, let us show the future to the world.
