ビジネス日本語講座旅に意味を見出さない日本人サラリーマンが多いIf you work in a Japanese company, it can still be difficult to take long holidays. For many Japanese salarymen, travelling is a way of experiencing unusual sensations for a short period of time, and the most important thing for them is their daily salaryman life. In the days when you only had to do business in Japan, it was fine if you only thought about business, but with the globalisation of the economy, that can no longer be said to be the case. The benefits of long-term international travel in particular are immeasurable. It may not be immediately...
2025-05-2211 minビジネス日本語講座サラリーマンとして出世しなくても良いと言う考えを受け入れて、達観するのは簡単なことではないMany Japanese salarymen still think that work is the most important thing in life. I don't think this way of thinking is wrong. It is natural that ideas and values differ from person to person. However, in Japan, there are many serious and hard-working workers and there is strong peer pressure within organisations, so there are very few cases where diverse values are recognised. In such Japanese organisations, if an individual tries to live a way of life that emphasises work-life balance, he or she is likely to encounter various difficulties.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座https://my162p.com/p/r/o...

2025-02-1907 minビジネス日本語講座日本に蔓延しているサラリーマンをやるなら、マネージャーに昇格してナンボと言う発想は何とかならないのかIt is a common idea among Japanese white-collar salarymen that if you are going to be a salaryman, you want to move up the ladder and become a manager. I do not deny the desire for success and power. They are desires that every human being has to a greater or lesser degree. However, we all have a certain aptitude for certain things. Some people want to work as a player all their life. For such people, promotion to manager can be a career-dividing experience.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng...

Notes on Japanese Corporate CultureCracking the Code: Japanese Business Manners as a GameThis podcast explores the often perplexing world of Japanese business manners, or *bizinesu manā*, suggesting a novel approach to understanding them: **viewing them as the rules of a game**. It acknowledges that for many, these manners, from exchanging business cards to pouring drinks for superiors, can seem tedious and even arbitrary. However, these practices are deeply ingrained in Japanese corporate culture and are considered common knowledge among salarymen. **Mastering these rules is essential for career advancement, including promotions and raises**, and is applicable not just in Japan but also in Japanese companies overseas.Instead o...

2024-11-2435 minビジネス日本語講座日本のサラリーマンは他者に対して自らのアイデンティティを説明する必要がないFor many salarymen in Japan, the important thing is the company they work for. When meeting a stranger at work, once business cards are exchanged, there is no need to explain yourself further. Company people don’t have to explain themselves. At first glance, this may seem like a very easy way out, but it can have many negative effects later on.
2024-11-1212 minビジネス日本語講座なぜサラリーマンは成長しなければならないのか Why do salarymen need to make progress?In the Japanese corporate world, the word “growth” is rather favorably perceived and used by people.

In order to realize a sustainable society in the future, I believe it is necessary to question the concept of growth at least once.

They are willing to work long hours and sacrifice their lives. As a result of the various problems caused by long working hours, there has been a movement to correct this way of working in Japanese society as a whole. Nevertheless, they are still companies in Japan where long working hours and unpaid overtime are still the norm. In this episode, I consider the causes of this problem.

The Uncanny CocoNutsS3E02 - Understanding the Gender dilemmaSo is it a little confusing to get all the different new gender terms correct at any given moment or is it us? Today’s rant is about the gender dilemma and to ask the question, "What do all those new gender classifications mean"? We respectfully attempt to educate ourselves, and poke some fun at each other about it.

Knowledge = PowerA Brief History of Japan: Samurai, Shogun and Zen: The Extraordinary Story of the Land of the Rising SunThis fascinating history tells the story of the people of Japan, from ancient teenage priest-queens to teeming hordes of salarymen, a nation that once sought to conquer China, yet also shut itself away for two centuries in self-imposed seclusion.
First revealed to Westerners in the chronicles of Marco Polo, Japan was a legendary faraway land defended by a fearsome Kamikaze storm and ruled by a divine sovereign. It was the terminus of the Silk Road, the furthest end of the known world, a fertile source of inspiration for European artists, and an enduring symbol of the mysterious East. In...

He referred to Japan's current lack of yoku (desire), yume (dreams) and yaruki (guts). What does this mean for business and for our companies if we are staffed by young people without these three Ys? As leaders, how can we reverse this trend and produce more engaged teams? Is it too late already? Diligence has a strong pedigree in japan.

Disrupting JapanWhy Japan’s #KuToo is Not Really About ShoesToday I am going to correct two big mistakes; one of my own and one of society's.
I lot of listeners emailed me about the comments I made regarding how Japanese companies treat their employees and customers while they are pregnant. I got it wrong, so I would like to set the record straight.
I also explain what I see as the obvious answer to the current #KuToo controversy. I realize that this puts me at serious risk of having to publish another retraction, but I think it's an important way of looking at this problem.

Zusammenfassung
Shin‘ya Tsukamoto liefert Ende der 80er Jahre mit dem ersten TETSUO die Initialzündung für den japanischen Independentfilm und das Rezept für Aufmerksamkeit auf internationalen Festivals: anstatt des glänzenden, reichen Japan kurz vor dem Platzen der ökonomischen Blase gibt es hier Salarymen und Kruppstahl-Fetischisten in finsteren Butzen, kaputten Lagerhallen und Otaku-Höllen, die mal mehr, mal weniger willentlich zu Maschinen werden. Wir überlegen, woher Shin‘ya Tsukamoto seine Inspiration zieht – JG Ballard, Lynch, Surrealismus, Futurismus, Punk, Manga, Musikvideos, das eigene monomane Künstlerego – und wie er aus all diesen disparaten Quellen etwas Eigenes zusammen...

OLRC019 Company Song ComebackI’m Bill Tsutsui with another Postcard from Asia from the Center for East Asian Studies
Back in the days of Japan’s high-growth economy, salarymen across the country raised their voices in song: company song, that is. The equivalent of the university fight song, the Japanese company song embodied corporate values and was designed to instill shafu, company spirit, in employees. Japan’s economic bust of the early 1990s brought a decline in workplace warbling but now, as the nation shows signs of recovery, the company song is making a comeback. Japan’s largest retailer, Ito Yokado, for example, has its...

Cosplayers spend hours devising, creating and donning elaborate costumes designed to transform them from salarymen or women to anime and video game characters such as Astroboy or Parasite Eve. At an average cost of $300 per ensemble, this is no-low budget amusement. The payoff? Well-dressed cosplayers could just...
