Immediately after launching a crowdfunding initiative, responses arrived from readers in London, Brighton, Italy, and Canada.
This entry records the first global reactions to The Turntable of Civilization, transcending borders and professions.

With gratitude for the immediate responses,

The other day, I launched a crowdfunding initiative at helptheturntableofcivilization@gmail.com,
initially announcing it in Japanese and English.

Yesterday,
I shared it with the world
in languages other than Japanese and English,
and within that very day,
a reader in London (from the financial sector) sent a “Like!”,
and a reader living in Brighton in the United Kingdom—
who is not only a chief engineer in the technology field,
but also a co-founder of a record label
and a musician—
sent a follow.

A woman who works as a social media manager,
and a man who is a hardware engineer
and a technical consultant for an IT company,
the two are probably Italian.

In addition,
a Canadian who works as a jazz singer
(apparently a singer who performs sentimentally in a low voice),
also sent a follow.

With gratitude for these immediate responses,
I will add further notes
in the next chapter.
