This project started with the desire of a single Japanese person to fill the Earth with dreams by bringing together stories from dreamers around the world. Over about a year, that desire spread through social media, reaching leaders in 201 countries and regions across Asia, Oceania, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Thanks to all of their cooperation, WE HAVE A DREAM has become a unique work that successfully overcomes language and cultural barriers.
