老いとは、人生の厚みである

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/06/29

In this episode, I reflect on a popular trend on social media—comparing celebrities' youthful photos with their current appearance—and question what it says about our values. Are we turning aging into a spectacle? I argue that wrinkles and changes in our faces are not signs of "decline" but records of a life lived. Every line tells a story, every change holds meaning. Rather than chasing fleeting beauty, we should honor the faces that speak of resilience, experience, and emotion. Your current face

なぜ“サラリー”という言い回しが心に残ったのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/06/28

In this episode, I reflect on the word "salaryman" and why it feels limiting when used as a self-introduction in Japanese society. I explore how people often prioritize which organization they belong to over what they actually do or strive for. I also share a memorable story of a Japanese factory owner who once said, “I did salary for seven years,” instead of calling himself a “salaryman.” That subtle choice of words revealed his values and his distance from corporate identity. Through this, I

In this episode, I respond to a listener’s question about how to prepare for a job in the Japanese manufacturing industry, especially with little to no prior experience. I share my own story of entering the industry from scratch and explain how I studied specialized vocabulary, observed factory operations, and built my knowledge step by step. If you're starting a new job in manufacturing or worried about your Japanese language skills in a technical setting, this episode offers practical advice and

なぜ日本の会議では誰も笑わないのか

2025/06/26

Why are so many business meetings in Japan so dull and unproductive? In this episode, I reflect on two key issues: top-down communication that discourages open discussion, and the surprising absence of humor. I compare my experience in Japanese companies with meetings in Thailand, where even senior employees aren't afraid to be playful. Could a little humor—and a more open structure—revive our meetings and spark real dialogue? Let’s talk about what makes a meeting meaningful.

生活のために選んだ仕事でなければ、身に付かない仕事もあるだろう

2025/06/25

In this episode, I talk about how the jobs we take just to make a living can sometimes lead to unexpected growth. Drawing from my own experience in a sales job I initially hated, I reflect on how those early struggles taught me skills that became valuable later in life. Whether you choose a job based on passion, money, or convenience, there’s no perfect answer. Sometimes, it's the act of jumping in that sets you on a meaningful path. Embrace the unexpected—it may shape your future in ways you never

会議で何も言わずに、存在感を保つ処世術

2025/06/24

In this episode, I share practical techniques to maintain a strong presence in meetings—without speaking. From subtle nods to strategic note-taking and clever timing, these silent strategies are especially useful in traditional Japanese workplaces. Learn how to look engaged, be remembered, and even earn respect while saying almost nothing. Perfect for introverts, observers, or anyone who prefers to speak less but still wants to stand out. Let’s explore the quiet art of being heard—without actually

How to Do Nothing at Work and Still Get Paid の裏話

2025/06/23

Behind the scenes of "How to Do Nothing at Work and Still Get Paid."In this episode, I share the story behind my new Udemy course, which explores the unique Japanese phenomenon of the “Shanai NEET” — employees who survive in the workplace by doing as little as possible. Based on my personal experience as a former salaryman, I reflect on how this silent survival strategy reveals deeper aspects of Japanese work culture. Why did I make this course in English? What message do I want to convey

働かせてもらうから、働いてやっているへの意識の転換を図る

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/06/22

In this episode, we explore a mindset shift: from “I’m grateful to be employed” to “I bring value through my work.” Many Japanese employees are still influenced by traditional loyalty-based work culture, but modern labor is a value exchange, not charity. We also unpack corporate buzzwords like “passion,” “gratitude,” and “growth,” which can sometimes mask unequal treatment. Learn how to critically assess job offers and find workplaces that genuinely respect your time, effort, and worth.

からかいは笑いか、それとも差別か？　職場での見た目いじりを考える

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/06/21

In this episode, I reflect on the issue of mocking physical appearances—specifically baldness—in the workplace. While it may be brushed off as harmless humor or part of workplace culture, such “jokes” can deeply affect a person’s self-esteem and mental well-being. Drawing from personal experiences in both Japanese and international work environments, I explore why this kind of teasing persists, and why it should be reconsidered. Humor should never come at the expense of someone’s dignity. This is

なぜ日本人は“経営者目線”で働きたがるのか？

2025/06/20

Why do Japanese employees work so hard with a “CEO mindset” — even when they don’t own the company? This episode explores the deep-rooted cultural values behind self-sacrifice, workplace pride, and the desire for recognition over monetary reward. We dive into the psychology of the Japanese salaryman, the influence of social harmony, and why saying “thank you” or giving praise can feel awkward. With a touch of irony and cultural critique, this talk sheds light on what really drives motivation in

日系企業の停滞感の根っこにある問題とは何か

2025/06/19

In this episode, the host delves into the deeper reasons behind the stagnation of Japanese companies. He reflects on how workplace culture often discourages genuine expression, especially from younger employees. While organizations claim to welcome open discussion, in reality, hierarchy and social pressure silence innovative voices. The episode raises questions about how authority and perceived status affect how ideas are received, and why this dynamic prevents true creativity. Through a sharp and

Getting fired sounds like a nightmare—but is it really the end? In this honest and personal episode, I share my own experiences of being let go (more than once), including getting fired after just one day. From awkward bosses to corporate mismatch, I talk about how being "terminated" doesn’t mean you’re broken—it might just mean you’re in the wrong place. If you’re anxious about losing your job, or recovering from a recent layoff, this episode is here to remind you: sometimes, getting fired is just

In this episode, I talk about how posting a calligraphy piece titled "The Vise of Logic" on YouTube Shorts brought me one new subscriber — and why that one person means so much to me. I reflect on the power of the internet to connect deeply with those who share the same sensibility, even if they’re few. Art, logic, and emotion all come together in this short story of resonance.🔗 Watch the calligraphy here:👉

In this episode, I challenge the outdated notion that working hard always means working long hours. Drawing on my experience in Japan and abroad, I discuss how efficiency, not overwork, should be valued in the modern workplace. Let’s rethink the idea that “being busy” equals “being productive,” and explore a healthier, smarter approach to

Why do so many Japanese salarymen feel pressured to play golf—even on their precious days off?In this episode, I share my experience working in Thailand, where golf wasn’t just a hobby but an unspoken corporate obligation. I dive into how golf became a status symbol, a "petit bourgeois" fantasy, and how it ties into deeper issues like peer pressure, work-life imbalance, and environmental destruction.

In this episode, I reflect on my past experiences working in Southeast Asia and the complex emotions I felt toward certain local colleagues. I explore themes of cultural misunderstanding, social hierarchy, and the frustrations that arise when good intentions are misread. This is a deeply personal talk—raw, honest, and maybe uncomfortable—but I hope it opens up a space for more nuanced conversations about cross-cultural relationships.

In this episode, we explore seemingly positive keywords like “passion,” “gratitude,” and “company values” that could actually be red flags. What does “a warm, family-like atmosphere” really mean? Learn how to read between the lines and spot potentially toxic work environments before you apply. If you’re job hunting — especially in Japanese companies — this episode might save you from a lot of trouble.

市役所の支所のような職場は一見楽そうに見えるが、人によってはきつい職場だろう

Today, let’s talk about working in public offices. At first glance, it seems easier than private companies—cool offices, regular hours, less pressure. But in reality, it’s tough too. The key challenge? Managing workplace relationships and small talk. If you’re not good at socializing or dislike office chatter, public office life can feel isolating and stressful. I’ll share why “easy” jobs aren’t always easy, and why communication skills are essential to survive and thrive in these environments. Tune

自己分析にまつわる胡散臭さについて

In Japan, job hunting starts with “self-analysis” — but is it truly helpful or just an empty ritual? In this episode, I unpack why this process often feels fake, forced, and unfair. From personal doubts to movie scenes that hit home, I explore why defining yourself on paper might not reveal who you really are. If you’ve ever felt uneasy about selling yourself in interviews, this one’s for you.
