Hello, this is Nina.
I have already written in the previous article ;
Live streaming while riding a bicycle is
" Impossible with our little knowledge ! "
" And also impossible with our small budget ! "
I have almost lost confidence...
In this article, I would like to tell you when Pongyi saw a slight hope of broadcasting outside.
The hope is... ?
I had almost lost confidence.
To add insult to injury, the sweltering heat despite early summer attacked me.
I was tired.
Masaki-san came and smiled,
“Look ! This ! Let’s try ♪”
gave me some documents.
Shinbunya challenge kinkyu shien hojyokin ?
* The name of the documents.
Nina : “Is this a subsidy ?”
Masaki : “Yes. Why don’t we apply for it ?”
----------------------------------------------------------
Countermeasures against the COVID-19,
Subsidy aid for emergency support for a new field challenge
↓
The local government will help the small and medium - sized businesses which was seriously affected by the COVID-19 make an effort to find a new way for solution.
----------------------------------------------------------
I heard that this is a subsidy for these kind of cases;
•A restaurant starts the delivery service.
•A supermarket starts the drive-through vegetable selling.
In short, it helps the businesses which challenge something new during the hard time of the COVID-19.
If we pass the screening, the local government subsidizes 3/4 of the expense. Yay⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝♡︎
But... that is "if" we pass.
And nobody knows when the results will be announced.
If our application does not pass, we have to pay all the expense of course.
Nina : " We can't afford paying all, right ?"
Masaki : "That's no problem ! We have nothing, so there is nothig to fear !”
Let's try doing our best and get what we can buy first !"
Wow...
Masaki-san became zero (financially and socially) many times,
experienced as a monk in Myanmar in his 40s,
crawled up by himself from only 3000yen savings. (← so many difficulties...)
There is no reason (← important), but he has guts.
Even at this moment (financially, of course), he says
"What ? Worry ? No～problem ♪ Even if the application doesn't pass, we can keep going ! " 
So,
We decided to apply.
Thanks to the warm advises from the Kanazawa Chamber of commerce and industry.
"Yes, I think your plan will go well."
We pined the hopes to these reassuring words from a person in charge.
We will correctly use the tax.
Hope approval will be granted...
This slight "hope" of the subsidy and the positive attitude of Masaki-san (no reason, but stable）
gave me a power to work on a piles of tasks.
* We would like to say thank you to the Kanazawa Chamber of commerce and industry for their help.
Internet
Friends
Staffs of a major eletronic and home appliances chain store
etc...
We researched a lot, and got a lot of cooperation from many people.
* Our friends who lent us a smartphone or a camera, and gave us the great knowledge and advices,
thank you very much !!
Researching the internet connection around the main sightseeing spots in Kanazawa,
Trying taking a ZOOM video in many ways,
(I adjusted a back support belt of Masaki-san and made a new band to attach the gimbal...)
ZOOM
Smartphone (good camera quality)
Mobile network
Gimbal (an equipment to control the vibration)
Bone-conducting headphone
They are all just an amateur can get, but
"Yes ! We might be able to go with them !"
Finally we chose the good equipments !
