Kenzo Soai ``I will continue my research'' The day after the decision was made, I realized the Nobel Prize - Saitama

On the 8th, one day after the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced, Tokyo University of Science Professor Emeritus Kenzo Go (76) responded to a press interview in Shiki City, Saitama Prefecture. He said that as he continued to deal with the situation, he began to realize it, and with a small smile said, ``I want to continue my research.''

Just before 8 a.m., he emerged from his apartment wearing a black suit and a mask. Wearing a white helmet, he answered questions while pushing his bicycle, saying, ``I'm going to go shopping.''

After a press conference the night before, he returned home around 1 a.m., and in the morning gave an interview to a television station online. ``I don't remember (what I was feeling), but I woke up early,'' he said, looking busy. During the interview, a man from her neighborhood called out to her and said, ``Congratulations,'' to which she briefly nodded, ``Thank you.'' Another man approached him and asked, ``Are you Mr. Go?''

At around 2:30 p.m., he left home again to head to the university and got into a taxi with the person involved who had come to pick him up. She opened the window and said with a smile, ``I received a lot of congratulatory emails.'' He described his research as ``the result of working hard with interested people around the world,'' and added, ``Although we have not completely solved the mystery, we have found a clue, or rather we were able to show something that has never been seen before.''
