An interview was posted on the Japan Times.

Interview articles by representatives of D × P are on the Japan Times website today.

This is Noriaki Imai's comments.

"My interview is on Japan Times website today. It's been long time since my hostage experiences in Iraq. I thought I would die in there, but I lived.

Seven years ago, I started to help teenagers who dropped out and could not go to school. Many Japanese don't know that Japanese young people and children are in poverty. Actually, poverty is lower than the situation in developing countries. But they lack connection with society. I think the poverty of connection is very serious problem. Now, I talk and support so many teenagers with my staff and 300 volunteers. And we're supported by 400 donors. "
