Happy New Year!

A commitment to fostering cultural exchange amongst young people through distributing information has been at the core of asianbeat's activities since the very beginning. With this resolve firmly intact, 2017 saw asianbeat continue to share the charming appeal of Fukuoka, along with all kinds of pop culture-related news in eight languages! Our content is created by a variety of sources to help ensure that more and more people enjoy the website, including fans from overseas. In addition to the articles created by our editorial department, we also cover stories that provide an international perspective. asianbeat feature contributions produced by Kawaii Ambassadors from across Asia, well-known bloggers, and exchange students who are based in Fukuoka.

Our activities are not just limited to creating online contents for our website, last year we organized the "2017 asianbeat • FACo Kawaii Ambassador Contest," which gives people the chance to appear on stagen as runway model at the huge fashion event "Fukuoka Asian Collection (FACo)." And that is not all, we also hosted the "asianbeat Aki Matsuri 2017" (asianbeat Autumn Festival 2017) in Vietnam! We are working hard to put on real-life events that facilitate international exchange and promote asianbeat.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the people that have leant us their support and collaborated with us over the last year. The entire editorial department will continue to strive to distribute cool news and information for readers from all over the world to enjoy! We are looking forward to another great year ahead!

From all the asianbeat editorial staff
