Hello!

This time, the six of us who joined the company as new employees in the spring of 2026 would like to introduce the ‘Grooming and Appearance Training’ that was recently conducted.

For this year’s training as well, we were fortunate to have Ms. Morinai from Brilliant Impression Inc. serve as our instructor, just as she did last year. The training was conducted in two parts: a preliminary hearing session and the main session.

Hearing

During the hearing session, we were able to ask Ms. Morinai directly about any questions or uncertainties we had regarding grooming and professional appearance.

Grooming and Appearance Training

In the grooming training, we learned about topics such as the rules of proper grooming and the importance of appearance.

In the session on grooming rules, we were taught how to wear a suit properly, how to dress appropriately for different TPOs, how to coordinate outfits, and how to distinguish levels of formality in business attire. We also learned that the suitable occasions and meanings of necktie colors and patterns vary, and which types of shoes and bags are appropriate for business settings. As we are still not fully accustomed to wearing suits, we were repeatedly surprised to realize just how closely even the smallest details are observed.

In the section on the importance of appearance, we were taught about maintaining cleanliness and neatness—such as proper hairstyling, how to wear a suit appropriately, and how to care for our shoes. We learned that, because visual information accounts for most of a person’s first impression, cleanliness is one of the most crucial factors. When Ms. Morinai told us, ‘From now on, the first impression you give as new employees will, in some situations, become the first impression people have of Dandelions as a company,’ her words struck us deeply. From that moment, the suits we had been wearing without much thought suddenly felt like essential business tools.

As I move forward as a working professional and as a member of Dandelions, I hope to always remain mindful of maintaining a polished and professional appearance.

Personal Impressions

NoOne
Through this grooming training, I learned that proper suit etiquette and maintaining cleanliness are not only for my own benefit, but also a way to show respect to others.

🙂
After attending the two grooming training sessions, I realized how important it is to wear suits and neckties properly and to adjust colors and patterns according to TPO. Until now, I had looked at and worn these items without much thought, but through this training, my understanding of business attire has changed significantly.

VAWS
Through this grooming training, I learned that proper suit styling and choosing tie and shirt colors and patterns according to TPO can significantly influence the impression you give to others.

Gifukko
I used to be indifferent about grooming, but through this training I learned about the negative effects that such indifference can cause, and it made me realize that I should pay more attention to it.

Lulu
Whether in casual or formal situations, I felt that first impressions truly matter. I was surprised to learn that, in Japanese business settings, attire is closely tied to a company’s image, making formal wear especially important. In the lecture, I learned how clothing choices and tie patterns can influence the impression you give.

Boo ✊
Through this grooming training, I learned the importance of paying attention even to the smallest details—such as keeping my hair neat or shaving properly—because a poorly maintained appearance can directly shape not only how a person is perceived, but also how their company is perceived.

Summary

I want to carry forward what I learned in this training about the importance of proper grooming, and with the awareness that each of us represents the company, I hope to maintain a respectful attitude toward others and pay close attention to my appearance.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end.
Please look forward to the next blog!

As an engineer’s blog, I’d like to share what I’ve been learning on a daily basis.
I received an email asking me to migrate my assets to the new Deno platform, as the site where I had previously hosted my Discord bot had been rebuilt.
This migration allowed me to continue running the bot 24 hours a day for free, so I’d like to share more about that here.

What is Deno Deploy?

Before getting into the main topic, let me first briefly explain Deno Deploy.
It is a serverless edge computing service provided by the Deno development team.
It is a cloud service that allows you to publish applications written in TypeScript or JavaScript to the Internet without having to worry about setting up or managing servers. Because it makes it easy to deploy web apps, APIs, bots, and more, it has been widely adopted by many developers.

Email Content from Deno Deploy Classic

To be specific, the email I received had the following content:
・Deno Deploy Classic will be discontinued on July 20, 2026
・Apps on Classic will stop running after that date
・There will be no automatic migration
・You will need to manually migrate to the new Deploy

Things to Check Before Starting Work

① Are you using Classic?
Since you’ve received this email, it goes without saying that you’re using it, but just to be sure, please confirm that you’re using Classic.
https://dash.deno.com
If your project is listed above, it’s eligible for migration.

② Is the source code on GitHub?
Items to Check
・GitHub repository
・main branch
・Latest code

③ Make a note of the environment variables
Open the project you want to migrate in Deno Deploy Classic, and go to “Settings” → “Environment Variables.”
You should see tokens such as DISCORD_TOKEN configured here. Since these tokens are not automatically migrated, if you have a record of them, you’ll need to refer to that during the migration.
If you registered the token during development but didn’t keep a record of it, you’ll need to reissue a new token from the Discord Developer Portal.

The image shows the browser’s Japanese translation, which makes the Japanese look a bit unnatural, but the settings are correct.
Since I had the TOKEN noted down in my production notes this time, I’ll skip the step of reacquiring the TOKEN.

Just a side note… The Discord bot isn’t currently active.
It’s offline.

Actual Migration Procedures

① Log in to the new Deno Deploy
https://console.deno.com/

② Creating an Organization
Enter the Organization name and Organization slug, then click “Create Organization.”
If clicking this button reopens the previous Deno Deploy window, open a new Deno Deploy window and check to see if the organization you created is displayed there.

③ Tap “New App”
Tap the “Apps” tab, open “Applications,” and tap “New App.”

Open “Create a new application,” select your GitHub account, and choose your bot repository.
Scroll down and select your deployment targets.
Since this is a free plan, select “Free Regions” under “Managed,” then click “Create App.”
*This guide assumes you have already uploaded your source code to GitHub and have set up a new DenoDeploy integration with GitHub.

The build will start, but it will fail if you haven’t migrated the KV Database.

Click “Database” within the project to open the Database screen and migrate the KV Database.
Click “+Attach” for Deno KV on the following page

Click “provision new Deno KV” to create a KV database

Verify that the database you created is selected, then click “Attach Database.”

Return to the Build screen and click “Retry Build.”

④ Set the environment variables
Set the DISCORD_TOKEN in the “Environment Variables” section of the “Settings” page within your new Deno Deploy organization.

⑤ Check if you’re online on Discord
I am.

Now all that’s left is to test the system, and if it’s still running smoothly the next day, we’re all set.
This has been a long post, but that wraps up this edition of the Engineer’s Blog.

Stay tuned for the next Engineer Blog post.

This time, we held an internal study session titled “How to Write an Internal Blog and the Basics of WordPress.”

Here’s a look at how it went.

Internal blogs are valuable assets for sharing technical information, research findings, and insights gained through daily work. At the same time, it’s not uncommon to hear people say, “I don’t know what to write,” or “I’m not good at writing.”

In this study session, we focused not on writing skills themselves but on “tips for creating articles that effectively communicate to readers.” The session covered practical topics for real-world use, including how to write blog posts, basic WordPress operations, handling images, and key points to keep in mind when using AI.

Topics Covered in the Study Session

In this study session, we learned about the following topics.

• How to structure articles with the reader in mind
• How to create effective titles and headings (H-tags)
• How to write easy-to-read text using bullet points and paragraph breaks
• Basic operations in WordPress (Gutenberg)
• Useful editing features such as List View and grouping
• Image optimization and the use of WebP format
• Key points for creating screenshots
• Secure handling of images and files with information security in mind
• Important considerations and effective methods when using AI

We didn’t just focus on learning how to operate WordPress; we also emphasized the importance of writing articles with the perspective that they will serve as resources for someone in the future.

Scenes from the Study Session

Internal blogs are assets that carry knowledge into the future.

An internal blog doesn’t end at the moment it’s written.

By sharing the knowledge, insights, and trial‑and‑error experiences gained through daily work and learning, individual experiences become assets for the entire organization. Not only technical information but also lessons learned on the job, study session content, and work-related improvements can all serve as valuable knowledge for other team members.

Internal blogs also serve as a record of activities and initiatives. By documenting “what was learned,” “why a particular approach was chosen,” and “what results were achieved,” they become valuable resources for your future self and for members who join later and need to look back.

In addition, articles such as employee introductions and event reports help convey the company’s atmosphere and the people who work there. They not only deepen mutual understanding among team members but also contribute to recruitment efforts and corporate branding.

An internal blog is a “company resource that someone in the future will read.” With this study session as a starting point, I hope each person will keep in mind how to create articles that are a little easier to read and a little clearer to understand, leading to even more valuable information sharing.

We plan to continue holding study sessions on WordPress in the future.
Please look forward to the next article as well!

I’m oz, and I’ll be writing this edition of the Engineer’s Blog.
Since WordPress has recently been updated, I’d like to introduce some new features that should be useful for actual website management, along with how to make the most of them.

1. Responsive Display Control Features

In WordPress 7.0, you can now configure which devices each block is displayed on.

You can configure settings like the ones described above. Previously, you had to write CSS or install a dedicated plugin, but this is now available as a standard feature.

For example, you can hide images on smartphones to improve page load speed, or switch large tables designed for desktop computers to a different layout on smartphones.

2. Adding an Icon Block

WordPress 7.0 also includes a feature that makes it easy to place icons.

Until now, you couldn’t place icons without installing the Font Awesome plugin.

For example,

• Display a phone icon next to the phone number
• Display an email icon next to the email address
• Display a warning icon next to the notes

You can create visually intuitive websites, such as these.

Summary

In this post, we’ve highlighted some of the new features added in WordPress 7.0 that are likely to be useful for actual website management.

The “responsive display control” and “new icon blocks” we’ve introduced here are relatively easy to use even without specialized knowledge, and they help improve the readability and usability of your website.

WordPress is updated regularly, with new features being added all the time. Even if you use it without giving it much thought on a daily basis, taking this opportunity to try out the new features might help you manage your site more efficiently.

There are still many features I haven’t fully mastered myself, so I plan to continue trying out new features and learning how to make the most of them.

That’s all for this post.
Thank you for reading this far.
Stay tuned for the next Engineer Blog post!

Eight people participated in our internship program in February. In Testimonial ②, we’d like to introduce the Japanese students!

Japanese students（Male）

I am a vocational school student scheduled to graduate in 2027. I decided to participate after attending an information session at my school, where I was drawn to your company’s “global yet relaxed corporate culture,” and I am pleased to be taking part in this winter internship.

On the first day, we used generative AI to create images based on the theme “Ukiyo-e × Modern.” We experimented with different prompts to get as close as possible to our ideal image. We were able to produce a piece we were satisfied with, and the positive feedback we received from our colleagues gave us a great boost of confidence.

On the morning of the second day, we practiced exchanging business cards and received practical advice from employees in sales roles. In the afternoon, we experienced the system testing process. We learned that even simple tasks carry the heavy responsibility of “upholding the company’s trust.” Drawing on what we learned in class, we were able to complete the task without any mistakes by paying close attention to every detail.

On the third day, we created a website introducing the history of Toyokuni Shrine. We organized information gathered through AI and online research in chronological order and built the site using WordPress. The intuitive interface allowed us to experiment with how to present the content, making it a valuable experience that gave us a real sense of the joy of sharing information.

Now that my internship has come to an end, I can say it was an intensive five days that covered everything from the latest technologies to the fundamentals of business. I intend to use this experience as a foundation as I move forward with my student life and career development.

Japanese students（Male）

I participated in an internship in February 2026.
I’d like to share what I actually did during this internship and my thoughts on the experience.

On the first day, we worked on AI-powered image generation and self-analysis using mind maps. For the image generation, we created images in groups based on the theme of “harmony,” sharing our ideas along the way. Despite the limited time, our discussions led to results we were very satisfied with.
We also experienced mind mapping, a technique that allows us to explore our experiences and thoughts through association. It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on who we are now and who we hope to become in the future.

On the second day, we exchanged business cards and conducted test runs.
During the business card exchange, we were taught the basic etiquette we need to follow.
It was a good opportunity to realize that the rules are stricter than I had imagined and that there is a lot to keep in mind.
For the tests, we verified that the system we built was functioning as intended. We had to check for issues across different devices and versions, and I felt that this was both an important and challenging task.

On the third day, we worked on creating web pages and preparing the necessary materials.
We split into two groups and used a platform called WordPress to build the sites.
I think that by dividing up the tasks, we were able to make steady progress without any major setbacks.

During this internship, I learned many things that I couldn’t have learned in school. I hope to draw on these lessons in the future, both in school and in my career.

2月に当社でインターンシップを行い、8名の方に参加していただきました。体験談②では、日本人学生の方々をご紹介します！

WordPressというサイトを利用して2つのグループに分かれて作成していきました。
どちらの作業も、役割分担をしたことで、躓くことなく進んでいくことができたと思います。

今回のインターンシップの中で、学校では学べないことをいくつも学ぶことができました。学んだことを今後の学校や社会人になってからも思い出して、活かしていきたいです。

Eight people participated in our internship program in February. In Testimonial ①, we’d like to introduce our international students!

Myanmar international students（Women）

I am an international student studying web development in Japan. My school teacher introduced me to Dandelions Inc., and I participated in their 2026 internship program. My goals for the internship were to experience the actual work of professionals and to communicate effectively with both Japanese and international colleagues. The internship lasted five days, from February 16 to February 20.
On the morning of the first day, we all gave brief self-introductions. Then, we used AI to generate images. We also had group discussions, which were a lot of fun. In the afternoon, we learned how to use mind maps to structure our self-promotion. It was a great experience.

On the second day, a company employee taught us the proper etiquette and procedures for exchanging business cards. We actually exchanged business cards, which was a great opportunity to learn about Japanese business culture. We listened to an explanation of system testing and conducted some actual tests. It was interesting to assign roles for the presentation and divide up the tasks among us.

On the morning of the third day, we went to Toyokuni Shrine to take photos for the website. We split into groups and had fun summarizing what each of us had researched. In the afternoon, we received a tutorial on how to use WordPress, and then we all worked together to upload the information and photos we had compiled to the site.

I learned so much and got to know everyone well—I’m really glad I took part in this internship.

Myanmar international students（Male）

I joined this Dandelions internship through a referral from one of my teachers. I felt it was a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in web development in a real-world setting, so I was eager to take on the challenge.

On the first day, following a company presentation and self-introductions, we held a group discussion on creating prompts for generating photos using AI. We considered what kind of language to use to generate photos that closely match the desired image, and learned the importance of providing specific, easy-to-understand instructions rather than abstract expressions. We also realized that even with the same theme, different perspectives and ideas can lead to completely different results, and truly appreciated the importance of exchanging opinions within the team.

On the second day, we conducted a browser testing session, using Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS to verify differences in display and behavior across various browsers. Since I usually only test in a single environment, I was surprised to see how layout and behavior differed depending on the device and browser. Through the process of verifying minor discrepancies and bugs one by one, I gained a deep understanding of the importance of user-centric testing and quality control.

On the third day, we took photos at Toyokuni Shrine and used that footage to create a website using WordPress. By conducting market research, defining our target audience, and creating a site structure before beginning production, we learned the importance of planning skills as well as design. Although the program was short, we experienced the entire process from planning to production and presentation, which allowed us to clearly identify our challenges and areas for growth. I hope to apply what I learned in this program to my future creative projects and career goals.
