I started researching this topic at Tokyo Tech in 1994, and with the support of the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research and programs such as JST's ERATO and the FIRST Program of the Cabinet Office, I have been able to continue until today. My heartfelt thanks go to my academic advisors, collaborators, postdoctoral and laboratory graduates, and all those who have supported me. I would like to focus on my research a while longer and see worlds yet to be seen from new angles.
