When I look back over the years since I attend the ILRS meeting for the first time in November 2000 at Matera, Italy, we have asked for your assistance and cooperation for JAXA satellites including LRE satellite, ADEOS-II and ALOS. Thought these satellites were or are not easy to support, LRE was difficult to range and ADEOS-II and ALOS requires restriction-sensitive operations, we have received tremendous support in preparation and operation. On a personal level, I have met a lot of interesting people and learnt enormous amounts from working with them since I entered the SLR community. They have had a positive effect on me. I appreciate the support and encouragement you have given me over the past five years. JAXA completed its first SLR station and has operated the system though not 100%. I thought I would master the system and start full-scale operation as soon as possible including ranging of ILRS-supporting satellites, the resumption of LRE ranging operation and provision of TIRV, ranging of geostationary satellites, and analysis of SLR data. But unfortunately I cannot continue to be involved in these challenging works. I will hand over the baton to my successors. Shinichi NAKAMURA ( nakamura.shinichi@jaxa.jp ) Nobuo KUDOH ( kudoh.nobuo@jaxa.jp ) I beg your continued support for them and ALOS satellite. I wish you all the best for the future. Thousand thanks from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully I can come back someday.
