It seems that a sponsor has been found for Nova. The "G communication group" is said, unofficially for the moment, that they would take over the 3 entities of Nova (Ochanoma Ryugaku, Ekimae & Nova kids) through their subsidiary "G education".

They would re-open 30 schools at first, when would gradually move over time to 200 schools re-opened.

They are considering taking as many nova employees as they can. The journalist asking about 2000 people, they answered that they would consider this as much as possible.

The subsidiary taking the Nova in charge has so far 4 networks of schools : 2 networks of Cram schools (Itto with 679 schools and Ganbaru with 185 schools) and 2 networks of english schools (Grip with 1 school and EC with 41 schools) and 42 english schools, mainly in Hokkaido. G communication seems to be very oriented to the food business (sake, restaurants) and is based in Nagoya.

The students from Nova could buy new tickets at this entity with a discount of 75%.

They haven't decided yet whether they keep Nova brand or not.

We are going to pick up info related to Japanese Culture.
Kansai is a district in Japan and includes Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hyogo, Wakayama and Shiga prefecture.
Yes, these cities are famous for it's traditional Japanese culture and modern culture.
It is our pleasure to introduce our culture to the rest of the world.
Yet, Japanese are not good at appeal to people even it is unique and different. This might cause misunderstanding or giving bad impression of Japan.
Here, we are trying to introduce some unique culture little by litte.
We are very happy if you find something new of Japan through this web site.
