Celebrating the 1300th anniversary of Tagajo's founding feels incredibly vast, but when we trace its history, we sometimes feel a sense of proximity to that time, as if wandering into an eternal labyrinth.
As an ambassador of timeless romance for my hometown, I hope to walk hand in hand towards a bright future for Tagajo.
While changing the world may be challenging, I have faith that we can extend the reach of our influence, even if it's only by a few meters.
It would be wonderful if that circle of happiness continues to expand steadily.

Indeed, the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo is truly a momentous occasion, and it's something to take pride in as it represents the symbol of my hometown.
As we look forward, reaching 1400 years and beyond, I hope for further development not only for Tagajo City but also for the historical landmarks that symbolize Miyagi Prefecture and Japan.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
I believe the first time I visited the ruins of Tagajo Government Office was on a kindergarten field trip.
Since then, I have often visited for extracurricular activities in elementary school, cherry blossom viewing, and rabbit walks. Even as an adult, I have taken my children to play there many times.
It's such a familiar place that I couldn't quite imagine the grand flow of history spanning 1300 years. However, recently, from the nearly completed South Gate, I can feel the appearance of Tagajo from 1300 years ago.
I hope that Tagajo, the city that raised me, will continue to weave a bright and happy history into the future.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of Tagajo's founding!
As part of this milestone, the construction of the South Gate progresses, and now we can see its majestic appearance with the temporary roof removed.
Standing atop a hill surrounded by greenery, adorned with dignified columns, beams, and brackets reminiscent of the elegant colors of Benikabairo, the gate will surely become a vibrant landmark for the new Tagajo City.
I will convey the charm of Tagajo, contributing to the creation of new entertainment using the historic sites like the Tagajo Government Office Ruins, South Gate, and various other attractions, as well as local specialties like Shironomurasaki*. *Ancient grain rice grown in Tagajo

I am very pleased to participate in the project celebrating the 1300th anniversary of Tagajo's founding.
Last year, we held a concert during the autumn leaves season, and I thought it was the perfect location!
While taking in the spacious scenery, I felt the deep historical atmosphere and the excitement of the attendees, making it an impressive performance.
I hope to celebrate Tagajo's 1300th anniversary with the best performance.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
Tagajo is a wonderful city rich in history. During my visit, I had the pleasure of interacting with residents who have a deep love for books and music.
I sincerely wish for the continued prosperity of Tagajo, with its invaluable heritage of history and culture.

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
I am filled with surprise and joy to witness this significant year.
During my visit to Tagajo, I was taken to the South Gate, still under construction, and was deeply moved by the 1300 years of history.
I cherish the past and hope that the people of Tagajo will continue to thrive and prosper into the future.

The founding of Tagajo 1300 years ago speaks volumes through the number alone, but it also evokes a profound sense of history.
I feel fortunate to have spent time in this historic city.
As Tagajo continues to build its history, I am committed to doing what I can to contribute to its development.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of Tagajo City.
The city of Tagajo, where I was born and raised, is filled with memories as far as the eye can see. Walking through the city again as an adult, I realize that there are many wonderful places that have remained with us through history.
It is my hope that Tagajo will continue to cherish its history and culture while becoming a place rich with human interaction. I look forward to discovering more of Tagajo's charm and capturing it through my artwork.
I wish for the continued prosperity and development of Tagajo City.

My heartfelt congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of Tagajo's founding.
As someone who spent his youth near Tagajo, which has its roots in the Nara period, I am delighted to witness this historic moment.
I pray for the peace and continued prosperity of the Tohoku region.
To ensure a bright and happy future for Tohoku, I will do my best to contribute, even if only in a small way.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
I believe Tagajo is a city rich in culture and has the power to nurture people. I started living in this city when I was in high school and it has cultivated various senses in me.
At events, I have worn Manyo costumes of Tagajo to perform live and host shows. In preparation for the 1300th anniversary, I conducted workshops with the citizens of Tagajo to create a song for the city, and we were able to produce "Transcending Time."
The song is filled with the charms of Tagajo, and I hope to continue conveying these attractions through both the song and the costumes.

I spent two to thirteen years in Tagajo, and as a member of the second year of alumni in Tagajo High School, my memories are deeply tied to this place.

When I was in elementary school, whenever I was scolded or felt bad, I would go to an abandoned temple, just a three-minute walk from my house.

There, I felt a sense of timelessness. …Though I might not have realized it back then, I remember that my heart always calmed down somehow.

I've always loved the kanji characters for "Tagajo" and the way it sounds.

Recently, I learned that the name includes the meaning "joyful castles."

I think it’s a wonderful name that matches the city's impression perfectly.

On this 1300th anniversary of its founding, I hope to contribute, even in small ways, to sharing the charm of Tagajo.

It’s my way of giving back to a city with such a long history.

Let's shout together, "Tagajo ~~~~!" (with a nasal "G" sound).

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
1300 years, that's quite a long time, isn't it? But considering that Tagajo has overcome the Great East Japan Earthquake, I believe it will continue to evolve and progress even further in the future.
As members of the Taga-Rangers, we are committed to ensuring that the new Tagajo City can be passed on to the next generation.
Though our history may only span 1/100 of Tagajo's 1300 years, we aim to uplift Tagajo City with 100 times the power.

Congratulations on the incredible 1300th anniversary of Tagajo's founding.
Thank you so much to the warm-hearted people of Tagajo for inviting me as a guest to sing at the Coming of Age Ceremony. It was truly an honour.
This experience made me realize once again that this is my hometown.
During my teenage years in Tagajo, I was shy, introverted, and often found myself sitting alone in a corner, hesitant to interact with others.
But fueled by my love for singing, I made the bold decision to move to Tokyo.
I'm still on this journey, but I hope to proudly say 'I'm from Tagajo!' one day. I'm committed to working hard every day to achieve that goal.
I pray for the continued peace and happiness of the people of Tagajo.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the foundation.

During our indie days, we continued our band activities while living under one roof in Tagajo's Geba district.
Many of our songs were inspired by the historic streets, atmosphere, and the various friends and communities we encountered in Tagajo.
Tagajo, which embraced us warmly, is filled with dreams and memories from that time.

In this auspicious year of the 1300th anniversary, we believe that people nationwide will take interest in Tagajo.
We hope to convey the charm of Tagajo that we have felt firsthand through our music.

Tagajo celebrates its 1300th anniversary!

It's a place filled with joyous, challenging, and bittersweet memories.
Every time I visit Tagajo, various memories come flooding back.

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo!!

1300 years is such an incredible history, it's just mind-blowing!

I had the privilege of attending the press conference in Tokyo

and had great conversations with Governor Murai and Mayor Fukaya!

I even got all the quiz questions right, which made me love Tagajo even more!

Plus, I got to wear super cute Tagajo-themed nails, which made me incredibly happy!

Feel free to share the haiku I wrote with the whole world and the entire universe, haha!

"In early spring, even gals want to visit, their favorite town."

I’m really looking forward to all the fun and exciting events in Tagajo in the future!

Tagajo is a wonderful town with a rich history! As someone who was born and raised in Tagajo, I hope that people across the country will come to know the history and culture of this fantastic town.  

I've recently started my career as a professional women's soccer player.  

I'm committed to my daily training to become a player cherished by the people of Tagajo and Miyagi Prefecture.  

I sincerely pray for the continued development of Tagajo City in the future! 

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.
Each land has a different feeling of air and color. Although it is very sensible, I feel that the air of Tagajo cultivated over the history of 1300 years has a special color different from anywhere else.
It is a land filled with many memories, spending about 15 years since birth. I wish you all the best in the future!

Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.

Tagajo has made many expressions in spring, summer, autumn and winter for 1300 years.

I have just moved to Miyagi Prefecture as a live entertainer, but I learned that it was a place full of charm when I visited Taga Castle by shooting BS Yoshimoto.

We will continue to visit Taga Castle, touch the expression of many joys, "Taga Jo", and convey the charm of Taga Castle as an entertainer living in Miyagi Prefecture.

Once again, Congratulations on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Tagajo.

Thanks to this summer, we performed a commemorative live of 1,000 people at the Tagajo Citizens' Cultural Center Great Hall.

Our hometown of Fukuoka is Dazaifu, a friendship city with the same history as Tagajo City.

Coincidentally, this year we also performed a live performance at the Dazaifu City Civic Center.

In this memorable milestone year, I feel like the fate of connecting the two points of "Higashi Tagajo" and "Nishi Dazaifu", which have supported Japan since ancient times, with a single line of "Kizuna".

Also, on the day of the live, I feel that the children of the local kids team JIGGY from Tagajo City helped a lot and became a startup for the next 1400th year.

We will continue to support the history we protect and the history we create.
