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

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

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〜

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

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

円安が続く理由と、タイバーツ高の背景、そして未来予想

2025/12/03

In this episode, I explain why the Japanese yen continues to weaken and why the Thai baht remains strong. Without using difficult financial terms, I break down the key reasons behind Japan’s low interest rates, structural changes in Japanese companies, and the growing trend of overseas investment among young people. I also explore Thailand’s rising economic stability, strong tourism-driven foreign currency inflows, and trusted monetary policy. These long-term shifts reveal how Asia’s economic

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/02

In this episode, I explore why conversations with people who cannot tolerate “softness” feel so draining. Drawing on years of experience in high-pressure corporate sales, I discuss how rigid, hyper-logical communication—perfectly normal in the workplace—becomes destructive when carried into daily life and family relationships. When every remark must be factual, linear, and efficient, emotional nuance disappears, and the human warmth that sustains connection dries up. Conversation is not a

我欲はなぜ嫌われるのか｜Why Human Desire Is Misunderstood — And...

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/12/01

Human desire is often dismissed as selfish or immature, especially in cultures where expressing personal wants is seen as shameful. In this episode, I explore why “desire” carries such a negative tone and argue that it is actually the original form of love. When we hide our desires, life becomes passive and dependent on others’ approval; but when we cultivate them—quietly, honestly, and consciously—they become creative energy. I discuss the shift from wanting to be loved to wanting to love, and how

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/30

This episode explores why hollow, content-light messages can still powerfully move people. From self-help influencers to political demagogues, the same mechanisms appear again and again: confident declarations, vague inspirational narratives, and psychological dependence that offers “hope” in moments of fatigue and uncertainty. When people lack mental space, they become vulnerable to bold voices that promise clarity and salvation. By breaking down these techniques and comparing business gurus with

日本の職人礼賛はどこかおかしい｜Revisiting Japan’s Craftsman Myth —...

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/29

Japan’s media often glorifies craftsmen as cultural heroes, preserving a nostalgic image of “perfect technique” inherited from the past. But behind this romantic narrative lies a more complicated reality: many craftsmen entered their trade for stability, not artistic使命, and Japan’s long-held belief that “skill alone will save us” has slowed adaptation to global competition. By comparing Japan with Southeast Asia, this episode reveals how the craftsman myth became a barrier to innovation and a source

沈黙できない社会 ― ノリに支配される日本｜A Society Afraid of Silence:...

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/28

Japan has become a society that fears silence. From childhood to the workplace, people are trained to respond instantly, match the group’s rhythm, and maintain “nori”—the socially required tempo of reactions, jokes, and emotional alignment. In this environment, thinking slows, sincerity disappears, and reflection is treated as awkwardness. Conversation becomes a speed game, not a space for understanding. This episode explores how Japan’s rhythm-based social code shapes behavior, rewards reflex over

終われない旅人——自由という名の牢獄｜The Endless Traveler — When...

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/27

Freedom is often imagined as constant movement — drifting from country to country, living without ties, escaping the repetition of ordinary life. But when traveling becomes a person’s identity, the road itself turns into a cage. In this episode, I explore the paradox of endless wandering: how stimulation replaces depth, how motion becomes avoidance, and how a traveler slowly loses the ability to stop. True freedom is not found in perpetual escape but in the courage to pause, to return, and to let

見世物としての現代——YouTubeと演出される悲惨

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/26

We live in an age where YouTube functions as a modern sideshow—an endless display of other people’s struggles, curated by algorithms that reward shock, suffering, and emotional volatility. What appears to be a free, equal stage is in fact a system where pain becomes performance and misfortune becomes monetized. Viewers, too, are not neutral; every click extends the life of someone’s tragedy. In this episode, we explore why society consumes hardship as entertainment, how creators are pushed to

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/25

In this episode, we explore “extroverted approval addiction”—a mindset in which people avoid inner silence by flooding life with noise: social events, constant stimulation, and external validation. Many extroverts seem confident, yet their identity depends on the reactions of others: attention, romance, excitement, and social media feedback. When that energy stops, their sense of self collapses. In contrast, introspective people confront pain, transform loneliness into creativity, and grow stronger

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/24

In today’s Japan, “intelligence” no longer means thinking deeply or wrestling with contradictions. Instead, it has become the ability to stay light—laughing quickly, avoiding conflict, and keeping conversations smooth. This cultural shift replaces pain with humor, silence with tempo, and conviction with clever detachment. Many people live behind a “mask of intelligence,” unaware of the emptiness beneath because rhythm keeps them distracted. This episode explores why modern society fears silence, why

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/23

In self-help culture, the word “mindset” is everywhere—precise enough to sound profound, yet vague enough to threaten no one. That ambiguity is exactly why it’s so seductive. Abstract phrases like “believe in yourself” or “embrace change” feel meaningful, but they demand no action and carry no pain. This episode uncovers how mindset discourse shifts responsibility onto the listener, creates the illusion of understanding, and becomes the easiest escape from real effort. True change requires concrete

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/22

In Japanese workplaces, people are often told to “show interest in others” or “be a good listener.” Yet paying too much attention to others can backfire. When you observe, analyze, and judge colleagues—even unconsciously—you begin to occupy a “god’s-eye position,” which quietly provokes resentment. This episode explores why people who show minimal interest in coworkers often thrive: they avoid深読み, avoid emotional turbulence, and remain free from expectations, disappointment, and conflict. Their

2025/11/21

In many Japanese workplaces, tempo is everything—quick reactions, instant rapport, and constant alignment with the group rhythm. Yet some people quietly refuse this pressure. This episode explores “my pace” not as laziness, but as a subtle form of resistance: the ability to stay unhurried, unprovoked, and unabsorbed by the workplace’s accelerating tempo. While naturally gentle, uncalculating people can embody this effortless pace, thinkers and observers must choose it consciously—and are often

2025/11/20

In an age dominated by AI trading and online brokerage platforms, face-to-face financial services continue to survive—and even thrive. This episode explores why. The key is not technology, but human psychology: anxiety, uncertainty, and the desire to speak with someone who “knows your life.” Elderly, affluent clients with low digital literacy form a loyal customer base, while younger generations rely on self-directed online tools. This structural gap creates a temporary equilibrium where personal

2025/11/19

In today’s Japan, social appeal is shifting from “good talkers” to “silent extroverts”—people who may not speak well, yet radiate warmth, harmlessness, and emotional ease. Their charm lies not in depth or insight but in their ability to never disturb the atmosphere. In a society that values vibes over ideas, harmony over clarity, and comfort over truth, this non-threatening persona has become an ideal. Yet when everyone avoids friction, thinking slows, silence deepens, and real change becomes

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/18

Modern Japan increasingly celebrates “lightness” — easy conversation, gentle humor, and the avoidance of conflict. What was once a criticism, keihaku (superficial lightness), has quietly become a social virtue. People are exhausted by heavy words: justice, responsibility, hope, commitment. Instead, they seek pleasant moods, smooth interactions, and emotional comfort. Yet this cultural preference has a cost. In spaces dominated by lightness, silence cannot grow, depth disappears, and real pain is

Here, I explore the cultural meaning behind the Japanese term nōkin—literally “muscle brain.”Often used as a light insult, the word reveals far more about Japan’s social psychology than it seems. From sports-team hierarchies to workplace obedience, “muscle-brained” behavior reflects discipline, loyalty, and a straightforward energy that still shapes Japanese society. Yet the label also exposes fragile pride, identity, and our fear of being categorized by others. Beyond stereotypes, nōkin represents

ビジネス日本語講座 ·

2025/11/16

Japan’s bubble generation grew up in an age of abundance, stability, and guaranteed rewards—lifetime employment, seniority-based promotion, and generous pensions. This environment produced a uniquely “clever” survival style: avoid conflict, read the atmosphere, joke through tension, and never take on real responsibility. While harmless on the surface, this small-minded pragmatism slowly froze Japan’s institutions and contributed to decades of economic stagnation. Younger generations now face high
