水清ければ魚棲まず ― 清潔すぎる社会が人間を終わらせる

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/23

This episode explores the danger of a society that worships cleanliness, harmony, and harmlessness. Inspired by a perfectly curated travel video, the talk reflects on the proverb “Clear water has no fish” and argues that humans need contradiction, desire, and imperfection to stay alive. When life becomes a showcase of virtue, it turns into an exhibit rather than a living process. By separating public morality from private impulses, we remain healthier and more creative. A world that allows no

序列という麻薬：日本型組織の精神構造と脱却

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/22

This episode compares hierarchy in Japanese white-collar culture to a drug. Promotions once symbolized honor and recognition, but the structure has collapsed, leaving addiction to titles and status. When people confuse positions with personal worth, organizations stagnate and individuals stop growing. The talk argues for shifting from vertical control to horizontal trust, where credibility comes from skills, responsibility, and real contribution. True professionals are defined by roles, not rank,

日経を読めと言われた時代の嘘

2026/01/21

This episode questions the old belief that reading the Nikkei automatically means thinking. The Nikkei once gave Japanese salary workers a shared language about companies, finance, and policy, but it also trained them to accept a single worldview. By consuming it daily, people learned to adapt to dominant values rather than examine them. Reading is not the same as thinking, and information is not the same as questioning. True thinking begins when we notice who is missing from the story, and whose

経営者のコスプレをするための主要キーワード解説

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/20

This episode explores the phenomenon of “cosplay executives” in online business culture, where language replaces substance. It shows how polished endings, polite phrases, and trendy buzzwords create the image of leadership without real experience. Terms like KPI, LTV, PL, BS, and PMF become costumes, not tools, while phrases such as “let me,” “I think,” and “thank you for reaching out” manufacture authority and demand. By combining vocabulary and tone, anyone can sound strategic without

なぜ人は“サラリーマンの苦労”を神話にしたがるのか ― 自己正当化としての人生ストーリー

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/19

This episode explores a deep human instinct: the need to believe our lives were not wasted. When reality feels like placement rather than choice, we create stories to protect ourselves. In Japan, corporate life is often justified through narratives of endurance, communication, and moral virtue, turning adaptation into righteousness. Skills that only function inside companies are expanded into “social ability” to preserve meaning. This is not deception but psychological defense. The problem arises

継続教という宗教──なぜ「続けているだけの人」が崇拝されるのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/18

This episode questions the modern belief that persistence is always virtuous. Continuation began as a practical means to reach goals, yet it has quietly become a moral standard that replaces substance with duration. We explore how society rewards stability, low risk, and frictionless behavior, while undervaluing bold attempts and one-time achievements. By measuring years, frequency, and consistency, organizations can judge people without understanding their work. This creates a culture where not

日系企業で定年まで勤め上げたいなら、狡さを徹底的に磨きなさい

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/17

In this episode, I explain why “cunning” is the most important skill for surviving long term in Japanese companies. It does not mean cheating or breaking rules, but mastering subtle adaptation to an environment that values harmony and risk avoidance over truth or performance. Success is measured by how little friction you create, not how right or talented you are. I show how sincere people often take on more work and more blame, while clever employees stay invisible and safe. This strategy offers

『今からでも間に合う』という語り口が、なぜ危険なのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/16

In this episode, I explain why the phrase “it’s not too late” is often dangerous. Although it sounds hopeful and encouraging, it is usually a psychological trigger designed to rush decisions and stop critical thinking. It ignores market structure, timing, and real risks, and later shifts all responsibility onto individuals when things fail. I show how this language is commonly used in business, self-help, side hustles, and AI trends to stimulate anxiety and urgency. Truly valuable opportunities are

なぜ日本では理念のために死が語られにくいのか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/15

In this episode, I explore why modern Japan rarely creates stories of people who die for abstract ideals such as nations, religions, or grand principles. Rather than criticizing or praising this tendency, I describe it as a structural feature of Japanese society. Everyday life, family, work, and immediate responsibilities are valued more highly than distant ideologies. This makes radical nationalism and heroic sacrifice less likely, but it also makes strong national narratives harder to build. Japan

欲望を持ってはいけない、ではなく、欲望を“見せてはいけない”社会

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/14

In this episode, I explore how desire is treated in Japanese society. Desire itself is not forbidden, but showing it openly is. People are expected to hide their personal wants behind harmless stories such as “self-growth,” “learning,” or “contributing to society.” As a result, only “odorless” and safe desires are allowed to appear in public. I discuss how this creates a culture where people who seem to have no desire are valued, even though real desire never disappears. It is simply pushed

仕事ができるとは何か──評価されない時間に耐えられなくなった社会

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/13

In this episode, I examine what “being good at work” really means in a world where most labor cannot be measured by numbers. Office work is judged through vague impressions rather than clear results, yet these evaluations still shape careers. I argue that today’s problem is not inaccurate evaluation, but the fact that people can no longer wait for it. In an unstable economy, self-promotion and performance become survival strategies. As a result, acting competent often matters more than being

セレブが憎まれない時代の構造

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

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

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,
