セレブが憎まれない時代の構造

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/12

In this episode, I examine why modern “celebrity business owners” and flow-based entrepreneurs no longer provoke class anger, but are instead consumed as entertainment. By comparing flow businesses that survive on constant energy and hype with stock businesses built on trust and accumulation, I explore how inequality is transformed into a story rather than a conflict. Luxury, power, and hierarchy become fantasy, not something to question. When class difference is turned into drama, anger fades and

人生に意味があることが前提になっている自己啓発屋の語りは、信用すべきではない

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/11

In this episode, I question the way self-help culture assumes that life must always have meaning. Many motivational messages begin with the promise that your struggles are meaningful and your life is destined for purpose. While this sounds kind, it can quietly become dangerous. It excludes those who cannot find meaning in their experiences and turns uncertainty into failure. I argue that meaning is not guaranteed, and that honest thinking must start from that uncertainty. When “meaning” is treated

自己責任で生き残れる人が増えるほど、自己責任では生き残れない人が声を持てなくなる社会

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/10

In this episode, I examine a paradox of modern society: as more people succeed through personal responsibility, those who cannot survive by that logic gradually lose their voice. Self-reliance, effort, and competition are not wrong, and they have created many capable and independent individuals. However, when a society is designed only around self-responsibility, structural problems are translated into personal failure. People facing health issues, family burdens, mental strain, or simple bad timing

カピバラはなぜ現代の人気者になったのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/09

In this episode, I explore why capybaras have become unexpected icons of comfort in modern society. Their popularity is not simply about cuteness, but about what they represent. Unlike traditional “healing” figures or mascots that carry roles, messages, or expectations, capybaras do nothing and ask for nothing. They offer no lessons, no encouragement, and no meaning. In a world that constantly demands opinions, productivity, and purpose, this complete lack of obligation feels deeply reassuring. This

観光立国という逃げ道

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/08

In this episode, I reflect on Japan’s growing emphasis on tourism as a national strategy and ask what it reveals about the country’s current direction. Tourism is often presented as a hopeful engine for economic revival, yet it is typically a labor-intensive, low-productivity sector that struggles to support long-term stability. By looking at issues such as demographic decline, aging society, and limited wage growth, this episode questions whether tourism can truly address Japan’s deeper structural

なぜ現代は、自由に生きることがこんなにも難しいのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/07

In this episode, I explore why living freely has become increasingly difficult in modern society. Although we often hear that values are more diverse and people are free to choose their own paths, the reality may be the opposite. By comparing postwar Japan with the present, I argue that earlier eras were restrictive but gave real weight to personal choices. Today, countless lifestyle “templates” circulate through social media, making deviation feel easy but shallow. What appears to be freedom often

かつて、そして現代日本に最適化された三無主義者

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/06

In this episode, I examine the concept of “Three-Nothingism” and how it has evolved in modern Japanese society. Originally used in the 1970s to describe apathy among youth, the term has transformed into a new configuration: no ideology, no criticism, and no engagement. This is not a sign of laziness or ignorance, but a rational survival strategy in a society where taking a stance carries risk. By comparing past cultural “detachment” with today’s permanent withdrawal, this episode argues that

ストーリーは欲望を隠すための道具になる

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/05

In this episode, I explore how “storytelling” has shifted from a tool for communication into a mechanism for hiding desire. In contemporary society, individuals, companies, and even states are expected to justify their actions with purpose, meaning, and moral narratives. Yet beneath these stories often lie simple, unspoken desires: comfort, approval, power, or control. Rather than confronting these motives directly, polished narratives function as moral cover, deflecting responsibility and

21世紀に金持ちになりたかったら、御用〇〇になりなさい

2026/01/04

In this episode, I examine why so-called “establishment-friendly experts” — government advisors, media commentators, consultants, and influencers — tend to survive, succeed, and accumulate wealth in the 21st century. Rather than attacking individuals, this talk analyzes the structural reasons behind their stability. These figures rarely lie outright; instead, they selectively frame problems in ways that protect organizations, sponsors, and existing power structures. This approach minimizes risk,

AI動画に慣れることで、人の倫理観はどう変わるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/03

In this episode, I reflect on how repeated exposure to AI-generated animal videos may quietly reshape our sense of ethics. These videos are cute, harmless, and comforting—but they depict beings that cannot be hurt, exhausted, or disappointed. As we grow accustomed to relationships without risk, pain, or responsibility, our emotional responses begin to detach from real, living others. This is not a critique of technology itself, nor of people seeking comfort, but an examination of what happens when

テレビが語らない日本企業のリアル ──「仲の良さ」の裏にある沈黙と選別

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/02

This episode examines Japanese TV programs that introduce local companies and factories, especially those aired during the New Year holidays. While these shows present clean workplaces, smiling employees, and strong “teamwork,” they leave out crucial information. What happens if you don’t join company events? Does refusing after-work drinking affect your evaluation? These questions are never asked. Japanese viewers often read between the lines, but outsiders cannot. The programs portray harmony as

昔の日本の年末年始のテレビと、いまのそれの比較

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/01

In Japan, year-end and New Year television used to be loud, emotional, and full of forced meaning. Viewers were told to reflect, feel inspired, and set new goals. Today, that atmosphere has quietly disappeared. Modern holiday TV is calm, repetitive, and avoids demanding anything from the audience. This episode explores why this shift happened. It argues that television has not declined, but that society itself has become exhausted by meaning, reflection, and life lessons. Interestingly, while TV

言葉ではなく、波長で人はつながる

2025/12/31

In this year-end episode, I reflect on a simple but often overlooked truth: real connection is not created by language alone. You can study a foreign language for years and still feel no bond with certain people, while sometimes sharing deep understanding with someone despite limited words. Communication goes beyond vocabulary and grammar—it rests on values, worldview, and shared emotional rhythm. I also explore how “being natural” or “speaking honestly” is often an act, especially in politics and

自信とは何なのか？

2025/12/30

This episode explores what “confidence” really means in an age obsessed with self-esteem and certainty. Rather than treating confidence as strength, loudness, or unwavering belief, this talk reframes it as the willingness to act while fully accepting the possibility of being wrong. Drawing on everyday examples from work, politics, and self-help culture, the episode critiques performative confidence and exposes how apparent certainty often masks deep anxiety. True confidence, it argues, is quiet,

日系企業では、軽薄さが最適解になる

2025/12/29

In this episode, Shigeki analyzes why “lightness” becomes the optimal survival strategy inside Japanese corporations. This is not a personal attack or a moral critique, but a structural explanation. In organizations where decisions change frequently, responsibility is blurred, and evaluation criteria are unclear, taking everything seriously can lead to exhaustion. Those who survive tend to detach emotions from words, tolerate contradictions, and switch positions quickly. What appears as

YouTubeは“考えない人”の楽園ではなくなった

2025/12/28

In this episode, I analyze the rise and decline of “meaning-free” YouTubers and explain why that era is coming to an end. Early YouTube thrived on vlogs that avoided opinions, responsibility, and ideology, offering viewers a sense of freedom from overproduced media. However, once this style became a template, it lost its power. As living costs, global instability, and social anxiety increased, viewers began to see “natural” and “carefree” creators as irresponsible rather than comforting. Today,

頭を使っていないけど、勝っている側の考え方

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/27

In this episode, I explore a mindset often praised in modern society: the belief that “not thinking deeply, yet still winning” is a virtue. We examine how ideas like being “natural,” “easygoing,” or “not overthinking” are used to justify success without reflection. This mindset works well when supported by youth, energy, luck, or favorable circumstances—but it becomes fragile over time. As those advantages fade, the absence of accumulated thought reveals its cost. This episode is not an attack on

信用は文化を生まない ── 信頼貯金がすべてをダメにする理由

2025/12/26

In this episode, Shigeki explores the hidden dangers of overvaluing “trust” and “credibility” in business and society. While trust is often praised as the foundation of success, he argues that it does not create culture, discovery, or innovation. Trust functions mainly as a system that prevents mistakes and discourages deviation from the norm. Through historical examples such as Christopher Columbus, the episode shows that breakthroughs come first—and trust is assigned afterward. When societies

新自由主義的自己責任論が人生相談を壊すとき

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/25

In this episode, I examine the hidden dangers that emerge when life-advice content becomes intertwined with neoliberal self-responsibility thinking. While life coaching and self-help often appear kind and supportive, they can quietly shift blame onto individuals who are already vulnerable. When failure is explained only as a lack of effort or mindset, thinking stops and responsibility is simplified. This structure is especially profitable as content, yet deeply harmful as guidance. I contrast

サラリーマンという言葉が壊した個人

2025/12/24

In this episode, I examine how the word “salaryman” has quietly reshaped individual identity in Japanese society. Unlike professions defined by skills or expertise, “salaryman” describes people only by how they are paid, not by what they do. This linguistic habit ties identity to companies rather than personal abilities, making it difficult to describe oneself outside organizational affiliation. I explore how this structure developed, why it feels normal in Japan, and how it can hollow out
