ブームになるもの、ならないもの

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/29

This episode explores why some things suddenly become massive trends while others never spread, regardless of their quality. Using examples like matcha drinks and capybaras, the podcast explains that popularity is not driven by deep understanding or true value, but by “design for easy participation.” Trends succeed when they feel safe, simple, visually clear, and socially low-risk to share on social media. In contrast, things that require explanation, provoke strong preferences, or feel uncertain

日系企業で働くなら、「いかがなものか」をマスターしよう

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/28

This episode explains why the Japanese phrase *“ikaga na mono ka”* (“I’m not sure about that”) is one of the most important expressions to understand when working in large Japanese corporations. It sounds calm and rational, but often hides dissatisfaction without responsibility, explanation, or solutions. Drawing on real workplace experience in Southeast Asia, the talk shows how this phrase functions as a tool of indirect pressure and emotional control rather than management or advice. For foreign

今も呼吸する買弁資本 ― 文明を前に進めない経済構造の正体

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/27

This episode explores the idea of “comprador capital,” not as a moral failure, but as an economic structure that survives by connecting powerful external capital to local markets without creating real value. Drawing from personal experience in Bangkok, the talk shows how companies and individuals can exist by borrowing strong brands, translating, mediating, and managing relationships while producing nothing themselves. Such systems feel active but do not move civilization forward. They avoid both

観光立国と外国人規制の矛盾 ― 経済と安全保障をどう両立させるか

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/26

Japan welcomes foreign tourists while remaining cautious about foreign land ownership and long-term settlement. This episode explores the apparent contradiction between tourism policy and security-oriented regulations. By looking at issues such as overtourism in Kyoto, land purchase restrictions, and foreign labor programs, it shows how economic growth and national security operate on different logics. The key is not choosing between acceptance or rejection, but designing a balanced framework that

“希少”ではないレアメタル──レアメタルとレアアースの本当の違い

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/25

Many people think “rare metals” are rare because they hardly exist. This episode explains why that idea is wrong. “Rare” actually means difficult to separate, refine, and use industrially. Metals often exist in ores, but in tiny concentrations and tightly mixed with similar elements, making purification complex. Rare earths are a specific group of 17 elements whose separation requires advanced chemical technology. The real resource competition is not about who owns mines, but who controls refining

外側だけ老人で、中身が未成熟な人たちが増えていく日本

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2026/01/24

This episode explores the danger of aging without inner maturity in Japan. Inspired by a travel YouTuber who records movement without reflection, it argues that experience alone does not create depth. True growth comes from interpretation: how we understand change, failure, and conflict. A generation shaped by early internet culture could accumulate memories without developing thought, and social media now exposes that gap. Maturity is not measured by years or destinations, but by the stories we

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

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

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
