孤独に強いと言われた日 ― 本屋の店長の忘れられない一言

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/11

In this episode, I share a turning point from my college days. While working part-time at a small bookstore, I suddenly quit without notice. When the owner called me back, he told me something I will never forget: “You are strong in solitude. That strength may guide your future.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand. Years later, after struggling in corporate life and eventually becoming a freelancer, I realized the truth of his words. Solitude can be both freedom and isolation. Join me as I

日本の飲食業界から学ぶ働き方と日本語

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/10

In this episode, I talk about the unique culture of Japan’s food and beverage industry and how it connects with the Japanese language. From the concept of omotenashi—putting heart into service—to the teamwork between hall and kitchen staff, working in a restaurant in Japan offers both challenges and valuable growth. I also share why I decided to create a new online course designed to help people working in this field. For a limited time, I’m offering a special 5-day coupon.👉 Coupon

華やかさの裏側？リゾートバイトで出会った現実

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/09

In this episode, I reflect on the growing trend of seniors in Japan joining resort part-time jobs. At first, the idea of enjoying scenic places while working seemed inspiring. But from my own experience as a resort worker in my late twenties, I realized the reality can be harsh—poor living conditions, difficult managers, and generational gaps with younger coworkers. While some seniors may thrive, for many it could be challenging and even discouraging. Through my personal story at a hot spring hotel,

忖度文化の不思議と日本企業の未来

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/08

In this episode, I explore the unique concept of *“sontaku”* in Japanese culture—the subtle practice of adjusting one’s words and behavior by anticipating the feelings or expectations of others. While often seen in politics and corporate life, it deeply shapes how organizations function. I share personal observations from my career, including stories of colleagues whose personalities were tolerated only within a framework of harmony. This culture of “planned harmony” has supported Japan’s

それっぽい会議コメントの正体

2025/09/07

In this episode, I reflect on my days as a salaryman and the struggle of surviving endless meetings. I share how I often fought off sleep and felt pressure to make comments, even when I had nothing to say. I describe five typical “safe” phrases people use to sound engaged, including the famous “optimal solution,” which often means nothing. I compare these hollow remarks to TV commentators who speak without substance. Finally, I argue that in the age of AI, only words that still carry real

ニュースよりも大切なこと

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/06

In this episode, I reflect on why news is often overrated compared to real-life experiences. From childhood, I noticed that much of what appeared in newspapers—wars, disasters, or crimes—rarely affected my daily life directly. People often follow news just to keep up in conversation, but I believe true intelligence lies elsewhere. During my time in Thailand, I learned that light, human topics can create deeper connections than politics or economics. Real stories from our own lives, however small,

思想で語ることと虚構文化

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/05

In this episode, I reflect on how much of today’s online culture relies on performance and fiction. On platforms like YouTube or Instagram, I often see creators exaggerating characters—whether cheerful or gloomy—simply to stand out. Viewers know it is not real, yet they still enjoy it. I believe this habit of embracing fiction can weaken our ability to tell truth from lies, leaving us vulnerable to scams and deception. That is why I choose not to rely on a “character” but to speak from my thoughts

キャラ文化に巻き込まれない生き方

2025/09/04

In this episode, Shigeki explores the idea of “character culture” and how society often demands that people fit into simple labels such as the “serious type” or the “funny one.” Drawing from both Japanese workplaces and experiences in Vietnam, he highlights how these roles can provide a sense of belonging but also limit individuality. He reflects on his own struggle to resist performing a fixed character and emphasizes the complexity of human nature beyond labels. Ultimately, Shigeki encourages

現場主義と理論思考――経験と戦略感覚のバランス

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/03

This episode explores the balance between hands-on experience and strategic thinking in business. Drawing on my time working in Vietnam, I share an episode where a Japanese project manager and a Singaporean manager clashed over “practical experience” versus “theory.” While on-site knowledge is a powerful asset, relying on it alone can make one appear narrow-minded. On the other hand, theory without real-world grounding risks becoming impractical. I also reflect on how Japan’s wartime history

言われたことだけやっていればいいじゃないか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/09/02

In this episode, I reflect on a phrase often heard in Japanese workplaces: “Don’t just do what you’re told.” While it seems to encourage initiative, many managers contradict themselves—demanding creativity yet scolding employees when they act independently. I share a personal story from my time working abroad with a micromanaging boss who embodied this paradox. Through this experience, I explore how such management styles suppress growth, creativity, and autonomy. Ultimately, I argue that true

夢中になれる趣味が人生を豊かにする理由

2025/09/01

In this episode, I explore why having a hobby you can truly immerse yourself in is essential for living a richer life. Drawing from conversations with international students and reflecting on Japanese society, I discuss how perceptions of “otaku” have changed, the growing influence of lookism, and how the internet has created safe spaces for diverse passions. While society often judges people by labels or appearances, what ultimately matters is finding something you love enough to pursue for its own

旅の醍醐味は“不便さ”にある

2025/08/31

Travel is not always about convenience—it is often about embracing discomfort. In this episode, I reflect on why foreign tourists may actually appreciate hotel staff who cannot speak perfect English. From my own experiences in Thailand and the Czech Republic, I found that the struggle to communicate, the small misunderstandings, and the effort to connect beyond language can create deeper memories than smooth, effortless service. With translation apps becoming more advanced, travel is easier than

黙っていることも一つの力

2025/08/30

In this episode, I reflect on a personal struggle: moments when conversations or meetings sound like mere noise to me, leaving me unable to follow. While one-on-one talks are fine, group discussions often overwhelm me. In Japanese workplaces, silence is often judged as a lack of motivation or pride, yet I believe this is a narrow view. True leaders recognize diverse strengths, even in quiet individuals. Being reserved is not a weakness—it is simply another way of being. Let’s rethink communication,

In this episode, I share reflections from my time living in Southeast Asia, where I discovered the unique freedom of being a “marginal man.” Abroad, I could never fully belong to the local society, yet that distance freed me from Japan’s relentless competitions—academic rankings, corporate status, and social pressures. I also touch on the idea of “mild Yankees,” people deeply rooted in their hometown culture, to contrast different lifestyles. For Japanese learners, this episode offers insight into

新聞を読むことの効用

2025/08/28

In this episode, I reflect on my long, complicated relationship with newspapers. When I was young, I found them boring and disconnected from my life, preferring books on culture and the humanities. Yet, as a working adult, I realized newspapers can serve as a “litmus test” for intellectual breadth. Articles often require background knowledge, revealing gaps in what we know. Even if many stories feel irrelevant, newspapers connect us to society and provide a form of mental training. I discuss why

営業と接客──似ているようでまったく違う仕事

2025/08/27

In this episode, I explore the similarities and differences between sales and customer service. At first glance, they may appear alike since both involve providing products or services to customers. However, the process and challenges are entirely different. Customer service usually deals with people who already intend to buy, focusing on support, comfort, and hospitality. Sales, on the other hand, begins with prospects who may have no interest at all, requiring persuasion, trust-building, and

マイクロマネージャー養成講座：Udemyで学べるAI時代のサバイバル戦略

2025/08/26

This episode announces the launch of my new Udemy course on the role of the “micro-manager” in Japanese companies. While many employees chase endless “skill-up” goals, AI is rapidly surpassing human abilities. What truly secures survival inside organizations is becoming the type of employee who gives executives peace of mind. Drawing from my own case studies in Bangkok and Japan, I explain why micro-managers are both feared and trusted, and what lessons we can learn from them. The course also

なぜ人は他人の承認を求めてしまうのか

2025/08/25

In this episode, I explore the endless “approval game” that shapes so much of our daily lives. From the likes and comments on social media to the silent judgments of colleagues and bosses at work, we are constantly seeking recognition. This pursuit begins in childhood friendships and continues throughout our adult lives, often leaving us exhausted. Is it possible to live without caring about approval? Or are we bound to this cycle forever? Join me as I reflect on how the desire for recognition

半可通でも良いではないか

2025/08/24

In this episode, I explore the theme “Is it okay to be a half-knowledge person?”. Japanese society often emphasizes professionalism, expecting everyone—whether full-time employees, part-timers, or freelancers—to embody the spirit of a “pro.” But do we really need to pursue perfection in every job? Through examples from convenience stores in Japan and my experience in Thailand, I reflect on how cultural values shape our view of work. I argue that it is fine to be “han-katsū”—knowing just enough—if it

なぜ営業をやるのか──魂を鍛える修行としての営業職

2025/08/23

Sales is often seen only as a way to earn money, but in this episode I share a different perspective. Through my own experiences, I explain how sales can be a powerful training ground for the human spirit. Facing rejection, approaching people you find difficult, and stepping outside your comfort zone are not just business skills, but lessons for life. Sales forces us to break our limits, to interact with people of different values, and to grow as human beings. It may be tough, but the personal
