Dear Valued Patients,
Thank you for your continued trust and support in Suginami International Clinic.
I am pleased to share a personal update with you. After two years of dedicated study, I have nearly completed my journey as a master’s student in Vocal Performance at Musashino Academia Musicae. I am now preparing to submit my master’s thesis next Monday, with only an oral defense scheduled in February.

During this time, I understand that adjustments to our clinic's schedule may have caused some inconvenience to many of you. I sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and unwavering support, which have made it possible for me to pursue and near the completion of my studies.

I believe that music, like medicine, has the power to bring healing and solace to people’s hearts. The knowledge and insights I have gained during this period will surely enrich my practice, and I am committed to continuing to provide the best possible care to all of you.

Thank you once again for your kind understanding and support. I look forward to serving you with renewed energy and dedication.

Sincerely,
Masahiro Iijima, Ph.D., M.D.
Director, Suginami International Clinic
