職場の“平等ごっこ”に疲れる理由〜美意識と偽善のあいだで〜

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/28

In this episode, I talk about the silent pressure to act “equally” in the workplace. While fairness and respect are essential, suppressing our natural feelings can be emotionally exhausting. I share my thoughts based on real-life experiences in Southeast Asia, and explore the struggle between personal emotions and social expectations. Do we really treat everyone the same, or are we just pretending? This episode invites you to reflect on the balance between honesty and professionalism, and how we

なぜ“下品”な日本文化が世界を魅了するのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/27

In this episode, I explore the paradox of how vulgar, shallow, and chaotic elements of Japanese pop culture—often dismissed domestically—gain traction and admiration overseas. Why are cheap variety shows, flashy advertisements, or bizarre cityscapes embraced in a world shaped by Western harmony and rationalism? I reflect on the decline of Western modernity, the exhaustion of reason, and the search for meaning in disorder. Perhaps beauty is no longer found in symmetry, but in chaos. Through cultural

常識と狂気、その先にある第三の道

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/26

In this episode, I explore the tension between conformity and individuality in today’s work culture. Based on my own experiences, I question whether losing our uniqueness for the sake of fitting in is truly worth it. Are we really living—or just surviving in society’s shell? I propose a “Third Way”: living with basic decency and social awareness, while secretly nurturing a quiet, burning madness inside. I believe this balance leads to true excellence. This message is for those who want to express

騒がしい場所が苦手な私が、異国の地で感じた違和感と発見

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/25

In this episode, I reflect on my experience working in a Southeast Asian country where social life revolves around loud drinking parties and karaoke. As someone who prefers quiet conversations and meaningful connections, I struggled to fit in. I share my honest thoughts on the cultural gap, the pressure to join group activities, and what I learned from observing others. This is not a critique, but a personal perspective on how different lifestyles reveal deeper values. If you’ve ever felt out of

節約と浪費のあいだで考えること

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/24

In this episode, I reflect on the hidden costs of buying cheap goods, like those from 100-yen shops. While low prices may seem convenient, poor quality often leads to waste and environmental harm. I share personal stories, including my long-used sneakers and memories of my frugal grandfather who hoarded plastic bags. Through these reflections, I question the balance between saving money and living meaningfully. Is excessive thriftiness truly virtuous, or does it deprive us of life’s richness? A

マイクロマネージャー養成講座

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/23

In this satirical episode, we explore a fictional “training course” designed to turn you into the perfect micro-manager. From obsessively monitoring your subordinates' screens to demanding hourly progress reports, this parody dives deep into the traits of controlling managers often found in traditional Japanese corporate culture. While humorous in tone, it sheds light on the harmful effects of excessive control, lack of trust, and fear-based leadership. In the end, we reflect on what true leadership

AI時代の生き残り戦略：マイクロマネージャーになれ！

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/22

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore a paradoxical survival strategy in the age of AI: becoming a micromanager. As automation and generative tools like ChatGPT replace white-collar tasks, many professionals fear obsolescence. But ironically, those who reject efficiency and cling to control—micromanagers—may remain indispensable. By positioning themselves as bottlenecks, they become irreplaceable in rigid corporate cultures, especially in traditional Japanese companies. Is this the smartest

スキルの正解が消えた社会で、私たちはどう働くのか

2025/07/21

In this episode, I reflect on a growing uncertainty many people face today—what skills to learn, what work to pursue, and how to live meaningfully in an age where old rules no longer apply. Comparing Japan's stable Showa era with today’s rapidly changing world, I explore why so many feel lost, not only during their working years but also after retirement. This episode doesn’t offer simple answers—but it asks the right questions. If you've ever wondered, “What should I be doing with my life?”, this

2025/07/20

Are all sales jobs equally tough? Not really. In this episode, we dive into the connection between sales roles and supply chain management (SCM). Discover why salespeople in the upstream of the supply chain—like raw material suppliers—often enjoy more stability, higher status, and fewer headaches. Meanwhile, those in downstream sectors struggle with price wars, short lead times, and endless negotiations. If you're in sales or considering a career move, this episode offers strategic insights on how

付き合い残業、どう断る？｜日本企業の空気と戦う方法

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/19

In this episode, we dive into the Japanese workplace culture of "obligatory overtime"—staying late just because others do. Why does this still exist, and how can you deal with it without hurting relationships or your reputation? I explore the roots of this practice, its psychological and cultural background, and offer practical strategies to leave work on time with confidence. For those considering a job in a Japanese company, this is a must-listen. Learn how to protect your time, maintain

Should we turn what we love into a career? In this episode, I explore the challenges of pursuing passion as work. I also share why it's okay not to find your “one true calling,” and how asking deep questions—and even playing—can lead to genuine creativity and fulfillment. Let’s reflect together.

「CCメールを読んで学べ？」新人を困らせる職場のリアル

2025/07/17

Many new employees are told to “learn by reading CC’d emails” — but what if those emails make no sense? In this episode, I share my own confusion and frustration as a new hire trying to decode internal jargon, abbreviations, and vague messages. We’ll explore why Japanese workplaces often rely on implicit communication and how this creates invisible barriers for newcomers. I also share practical tips for surviving in environments where AI tools like ChatGPT can’t be used. From building your own

2025/07/16

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to be truly intelligent within the rigid structures of Japanese corporate life. While true thinkers often hide behind masks, I’ve encountered remarkable individuals—especially during my time in Bangkok—who revealed their depth in quiet moments. Real intelligence, I believe, lies not in titles or speed, but in the ability to embrace complexity and think deeply. I share personal stories of those hidden minds and invite listeners to reflect on their own

Is it okay to start job hunting immediately after changing jobs? In this episode, I discuss the challenges and realities of switching jobs quickly, including the emotional and practical aspects. I share my own experiences of short-term employment and the risks of leaving too soon. We also explore how to handle resumes with brief job stints and how recruiters view them. Most importantly, I emphasize prioritizing your mental health and long-term career strategy over pressure to stay. Whether you’re

なぜ日本ではファックスや紙のダイレクトメールがまだ使われているのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/07/14

In this episode, I talk about why fax machines and paper direct mail are still common in Japan, especially among small and mid-sized companies. Based on my observations, I explain how older business owners often prefer analog communication due to limited digital skills or trust issues with new technologies. I also share why handwritten letters still hold emotional value, and why face-to-face, door-to-door sales continue to work. While digital tools are powerful, I believe it’s crucial to choose

日本人が「環境を変えよう」と言えない理由

2025/07/13

In this episode, we challenge the popular self-help phrase: “Don’t blame your environment—change yourself.” While personal growth is important, social problems like workplace harassment, black companies, and unfair systems cannot be solved by individual effort alone. History shows that true change begins when people raise their voices and demand better conditions. From the French Revolution to labor movements, progress has come through collective action.

In this episode, I share my personal experience with mandatory early morning shifts at a small company in Thailand. Despite hoping for more freedom outside typical Japanese corporate culture, I encountered strict expectations from a Japanese manager. I discuss the challenges of workplace pressure, early commuting, and the complex dynamics between foreign employees and Japanese leadership. This story highlights how cultural and managerial differences affect daily work life, especially for

なぜ、権力者はお局について語らないのか

2025/07/11

In this episode, we explore the silent but powerful role of the “otsu-bone” — an unofficial figure who holds sway in many Japanese offices, often without any formal title. Why do leaders stay silent about their influence? How does this hidden power affect organizational dynamics, leadership, and employee well-being? Drawing from real experiences in Japan and abroad, we uncover how these unspoken hierarchies can either stagnate or shape a workplace — and what kind of leadership is needed to address

「明日から本気出す」のススメ

2025/07/10

In this episode, we explore the often-mocked phrase “I’ll start being serious tomorrow.” Rather than seeing it as laziness, we reframe it as a form of self-preservation and hope. Real motivation isn't constant, and neither is our energy. Resting doesn’t mean failure—it’s a part of resilience. We discuss how breaks, downtime, and even unproductive days can be necessary steps toward long-term growth. Don’t be fooled by hyper-productive advice; your pace matters. Trust your own rhythm.

ジジ殺しとババ殺しは両立できない〜日系企業で生き抜く処世術〜

2025/07/09

This episode dives into the unspoken dynamics of Japanese workplaces, focusing on two types of influential figures: older male bosses ("Jiji") and senior female staff ("Baba"). It explains why winning over both is rarely possible, and how different strategies are needed for each. With real-life examples and a touch of humor, the episode explores how to navigate power structures without falling into flattery or conflict. It's not about discrimination, but about reading the room, showing respect, and
