Flower Circle Group's New Initiative
The Flower Circle Group, specializing in educational ventures like Hanamaru Learning Academy and outdoor experiences, has recently announced the launch of a new podcast titled
"Takahama Masanobu's Hanamaru Radio: Your Parenting Questions Answered!". This program, which is set to begin on
July 1, 2025, will be available on the
Voicy audio platform, aimed at offering parenting advice to the community.
A Background of Dedication to Parenting
The driving force behind this podcast is Takahama Masanobu, the representative of the company, who has dedicated over thirty years to providing guidance through public speaking engagements. With more than
5,000 lectures and attending parents exceeding
600,000, his sessions have garnered a reputation for effectively addressing concerns in parenting and education. During his talks, he always concludes with a segment known as 'Takahama Radio', where he responds to various inquiries about parenting in a Q&A format. However, the constraints of time during live events often prevent him from answering all questions, highlighting a need for a more comprehensive channel to reach out to parents across different regions.
To meet this demand, the Hanamaru group decided to venture into sound broadcasting. The new podcast aims to provide timely and accessible insights on parenting issues that many families face.

Insights from Masanobu Takahama
In his own words, Takahama shared his lifelong ambition:
"I’ve been committed to bringing smiles to mothers who are burdened by parenting challenges. With numerous people attending my lectures and having several appearances on video media, my yearning to address the specific concerns faced by each household remains strong."
