Misc: Awarded again as MVP.

--English--

Thanks to everyone involved, I am awarded again as an MVP, 6th or 7th time in a row. (Well, I am not sure which is correct. )

I received MVP awards in the following order:

1. Security (2002.07-2002.09; this may not be an official one)
2. Security (2002.10-2003.09)
3. Windows Server Systems Security (2003.10-2004.09)
4. Windows Security (2004.10-2005.09)
5. Windows Security (2005.10-2006.09)
6. Windows Security (2006.10-2007.09)
7. Windows Security (2007.10-2008.09)

My first opportunity as an MVP came when Microsoft established the MVP office in Japan, just 5 or 6 years ago. Started with 3 leads and 6 MVPs. We are not the very first MVPs in Japan, though.(The very first one is Yuko Ishida, who has been awarded since well before the Japan MVP office started.)

Since I started activities in Japanese communities in 1999 I have one theme in my mind. This is an ancient Chiniese proverb, that says "Let's begin with Kai"(Mazu-Kai-Yori-Hajimeyo, 「先づ隗より始めよ」), meaning "I am going to take the first chance. Then, more excellent guys come soon."

At least, I can say that I have been a "bottom line" in Japanese MVPs in several contexts. Many of our Japanese fellows are super-excellent and so cool, you know.
