原始人のまま生きる現代人

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/23

In this episode, I explore a simple but uncomfortable truth: modern humans still live with primitive brains. While technology, AI, social media, and financial systems have evolved at breathtaking speed, our neural structure remains largely unchanged from that of early humans. Likes on social media trigger the same reward systems as tribal approval around a campfire. Fear, anger, and anxiety arise faster than reason. By examining brain structure, dopamine, and social behavior, this episode explains

日本のお笑いに潜む“イジメの構造”について

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/22

In this episode, I examine the hidden structure of bullying embedded in Japanese comedy culture. Many forms of “humor” rely on humiliation, pain, and rigid hierarchies, where mocking others is normalized as entertainment. I argue that this structure mirrors power dynamics seen in schools, workplaces, and cases of workplace harassment. By disguising aggression as jokes, responsibility is avoided and symbolic violence becomes invisible. This is not a problem of individual character, but of social

「青い鳥を探すな」という言葉を、真に受けてはいけない理由

2025/12/21

In this episode, I take a critical look at the phrase “Don’t look for the blue bird,” a piece of advice often repeated by successful people in business and career discussions. While it sounds wise and comforting, this idea is usually spoken after success has already been achieved. I examine how this message functions less as life wisdom and more as a convenient ethic for corporate organizations, encouraging obedience and discouraging exploration. Searching, changing paths, and questioning one’s

語れる者が世界を取る ― 空理空論の時代と、沈黙した本物の末路

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/20

In today’s business world, speaking itself has become a form of value. On social media and in side-hustle culture, polished language often matters more than real results, experience, or substance. This episode explores how empty theories and fashionable buzzwords have replaced genuine value, while those who actually create, build, and understand rarely speak up. Looking back at Japan’s postwar manufacturing culture and comparing it with today’s storytelling economy, this talk examines the growing

クールの賞味期限──沈黙はいつ価値を失うのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/19

In this episode, I discuss the hidden expiration date of being “cool.” Quietness can be seen as attractive when we are young, often mistaken for confidence, depth, or mystery. But as we grow older, the same silence can quickly turn into a weakness. What once looked cool may start to feel like a lack of opinions, poor communication skills, or emotional distance. I explain the difference between chosen silence and defensive silence, and why relying on quietness alone becomes risky over time. True

日本における外国人による医療費未払い問題

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/18

In this episode, I examine the growing issue of unpaid medical bills by foreign visitors in Japan—not from an emotional or nationalist perspective, but from the standpoint of institutional design. Most foreigners follow the rules, yet Japan’s healthcare system, built on the assumption of universal responsibility, struggles to handle short-term visitors who leave without paying. Emergency care prioritizes saving lives, while cost recovery often fails. This is not a moral failure of individuals, but a

製造業・建設業に巣食う「知識マウント野郎の正体」——なぜ、彼らは知識を武器に人を黙らせるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/17

In Japanese manufacturing and construction industries, knowledge is often used not to solve problems, but to dominate conversations. This episode explores the phenomenon of “knowledge mounting” — people who flaunt expertise to assert superiority rather than create value. Drawing from real sales and on-site experiences, the podcast examines why this behavior emerges, how industry culture rewards complexity over clarity, and why loud confidence is often mistaken for competence. While acknowledging

日系企業で生き残りたければ、大声で話しなさい

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/16

In Japanese corporations, communication is often evaluated not by logic or substance, but by volume, speed, and physical presence. This episode explores why loud voices are mistaken for competence, authority, and leadership in corporate settings. Using real workplace observations and basic acoustics, it argues that sound pressure—not ideas—often determines who dominates meetings and gains recognition. This is not a motivational talk about speaking confidently, but a structural critique of how

2025/12/15

In many Japanese corporations, senior executives clearly understand organizational dysfunction, structural contradictions, and employee exhaustion. Yet they rarely speak openly—inside or outside the company. This episode explores why silence is not ignorance or weakness, but a rational survival strategy. It explains how openly supporting younger employees can actually harm them, turning honest voices into political liabilities. Rather than words, executives act through silence, observation, and

ゴルフは雑談ではない──日本企業に残る“踏み絵”の正体

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/14

In this episode, I examine why golf in Japanese corporate culture is not simply a form of casual communication. Using the historical concept of the fumie—a test of obedience rather than belief—I argue that corporate golf functions as a loyalty test. What is really being measured is not conversation skill, but willingness to sacrifice personal time, money, and privacy for the organization. Drawing from my own experience in manufacturing sales, I explain how this structure reinforces hierarchy and

陰キャはやっぱり損をする──変わらなくていいという優しさと、居直りが人生を閉じていく構造

2025/12/13

In this episode, I examine why introverted people often feel disadvantaged in modern society. This is not a criticism of introversion itself, but an analysis of social structures that reward extroverted behavior. I discuss how phrases like “you don’t need to change” can offer short-term comfort while hiding long-term realities. I also explore how self-justification and quiet resignation can slowly close off life’s possibilities. Drawing from personal experience, I argue that the goal is not to

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/12

In this episode, I explore the idea that modern life is filled with subtle performances—at work, at home, and online. Using the example of a YouTube short where a man “acts” as a shut-in, I discuss how viewers can sense when a role doesn’t match reality. The real issue is not whether we perform, but whether we know we are performing. When we forget that a role is a role, it turns into a lie, and we lose sight of our true identity. Self-aware performance is not deception—it is a conscious, honest way

工場の承認欲求と職人神話の正体

2025/12/11

This episode explores the unique psychology of approval inside Japanese factories—closed worlds where workers validate one another through shared routines, unspoken rules, and inherited craftsmanship. Drawing from my own experience in manufacturing sales, I reveal how internal praise can motivate people, but also become a subtle system of control that keeps wages low and innovation stagnant. When recognition circulates only within the factory walls, it creates a comforting but limiting

自慢する人は扱いやすい？ ― 営業マンが見た承認欲求と褒めの技術

Why do people boast? And why does bragging sometimes annoy us, yet other times bring us closer? In this episode, I look back on my years working in sales across Southeast Asia and share what I learned about bragging, ego, and the deep human need for recognition. I talk about customers who loved to show off, why compliments worked like magic, and how “praise with curiosity” builds trust better than flattery. Self-praise can connect or divide — it depends on how we handle it. Let’s explore the

2025/12/09

In this episode, we talk about the curious style of “humble bragging” — when someone pretends to put themselves down, but the story somehow ends as a self-praise. Why does it make us uncomfortable? Why does it feel cunning rather than charming? We explore examples, the psychology behind it, and how it differs from true self-deprecating humor, which carries honesty, risk, and even warmth. In an age of social media and growing desire for approval, weakness is often hidden behind a mask of modest

2025/12/08

In this episode, I discuss the tension between free-spirited individuals and traditional corporate culture in Japan. Companies value loyalty, sacrifice, and obedience more than personal freedom — especially when it comes to overseas assignments. A worker may enjoy a luxurious expat life, yet must hide it, perform seriousness, and show dedication to avoid jealousy or increased pressure. Freedom becomes something carried quietly, not displayed. Through personal stories and workplace observations, I

2025/12/07

In this episode, I talk about small talk in business and why it often feels difficult. Many of us try to sound smart, avoid mistakes, or impress others with knowledge — yet conversations built only on information can feel heavy and boring. Knowledge alone no longer has special value in a world where answers are easily found online. What truly matters is comfort, warmth, and a natural rhythm between people. Rather than worrying about how we are seen, we can focus on whether the conversation feels

2025/12/06

In this episode, I talk about why bold and sometimes arrogant behavior can feel acceptable, even charming, when it comes from young people. Their confidence contains room to grow — mistakes become learning, and rough edges can be shaped by time. But when the same attitude appears in older adults, it often feels painful rather than fresh. True aging is not about adding years, but about turning experience into meaning, depth, and calm wisdom. I explore how we can grow old with grace: by reflecting,

旅の聖域は失われた——修行としての放浪と逃避としての旅

2025/12/05

In this episode, I reflect on how travel has changed over time. Once, leaving Japan meant risk, uncertainty, and the possibility of never returning. Travel was a kind of spiritual training — long buses, lonely dorms, missed connections, silence, and growth. Today, cheap flights and smartphones have made travel easier and lighter. We plan, book, upload, and move on. Yet something deeper remains: the urge to escape, to breathe, to search. Even if we do not “find ourselves,” the act of seeking has

量産型日本人サラリーマンの思考様式〜 “最適解”に縛られる生き方とは〜

2025/12/04

In this episode, I explore the mindset of the “mass-produced Japanese salaryman,” shaped by an education system that teaches there is only one correct answer. But in real life, there is no single truth—only choices. Instead of embracing freedom, many workers shift from seeking the “right answer” to chasing the “optimal answer,” a safe response that avoids conflict and preserves harmony. Convenient, yes—but costly. By choosing safety over expression, they stop developing their own worldview and
