This is Kawamura, the man in Greenkeys.
GreenEchoes Studio, which operates Greenkeys, is located in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture.
I often travel to Tokyo about 15-20 times a year to cover keyboard events and for meetings.
In February, we had an opportunity to meet with the parties involved, and Nape Pro (prototype) was provided to us on the spot for trial purposes.
Here are some snapshots of Nape Pro taken on the way home.
This article is a note of photos and first impressions of the day, not a concluding review. The evaluation will be repeated in a separate article.
