*As for HIROSHIMA 2020, because of significant time differences, we had to determine that it is difficult to hold the selection via online conference system internationally for long term with our four International Selection Committee. Therefore, the selection has been held by Hiroshi Onishi, one of the International Selection Committee members in Japan, as well as by those surrogates from Japan (Kotaro Sato, Makiko Nagao, Sayoko Kinoshita) who were delegated by four of the original International Selection Committee members.
