Yuzo Nakanishi
Professor Emeritus, Chuo University
This is a message of caution for students who have left home to live alone in Tokyo or in the neighboring prefectures to pursue higher education. On June 19, 2016, the voting age was lowered to 18. This means that university freshmen now have the right to vote. However, in order to exercise your right, your name needs to be on the voter registration list prepared by the municipality in which you reside.

Working as an Attorney at Tochigi City Government
Masako Nagamori
Attorney
After graduating from university, I had always worked in the real estate industry. During that time, I experienced turbulent economic times such as the collapse of the Japanese economic bubble and the Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. When my employer went bankrupt, I decided to get certified as an attorney and enrolled at the Chuo Law School. Even after becoming an attorney, I worked for a while as an in-house attorney at a real estate company in the middle of Tokyo, handling buildings and funds. I find the real estate business extremely interesting.
