In most countries, the third Sunday of June every year is Father's Day. Many fathers receive gifts, cards and other expressions of appreciation and gratitude from their children.
For 只石昌幸 Masayuki Tadaishi (@kodawari_ceo), representative director of the fitness product brand VALX and founder of Leverage Inc., the gratitude he felt for his father took the form of an ad posted on the platform of a local train station.
It was a letter to his departed father. This is what he wrote:

"I dedicate this ad to Kenji Tadaishi, who passed away on June 4th, 2020."

The ad is currently posted in both platforms of the JR Takasaki Station and the Jōshin Dentetsu Takasaki Station. Tadaishi also had one posted in the gym at Takasaki High School.
Tadaishi started up his own company and has been working hard every since towards his goal of getting it listed on the stock exchange.
Sadly, his father passed away before that could happen but just as he did while he was alive, he's surely rooting for his son from heaven and will be listening for that bell on IPO day.
