In a recent interview, Mr. Nabeyama talked about how to keep the Kendo spirit for himself and the next generations.
Let’s see if an interview Mr. Nabeyama can unbox Japan.

In the age of diversification, it is not easy to predict any kind of trend. That applies to the manga world as well. After "Daymon Slayer", every one must be wondering what’s next. It seems who set the trend is actually elementary school students who are sensitive to new things and cannot be underestimated when it comes to finding new hits. There is one editor who has a child in the fourth grade who predicted the hit of Damon Slayer years ahead, and thinks the next one is something nostalgic to any Japanese person. Let’s see if his prediction can unbox Japan.

https://www.itmedia.co.jp/business/articles/2104/16/news009.html The traditional way that majority of Japanese companies hire employees is a membership based system where employees are allocated to jobs accordingly and almost guaranteed lifetime employment called 終身雇用. However, more companies are rethinking and showing the interest of giving it up after realizing the demand for system changes due to COVID-19. A job-based system is very common among western companies but has been strongly opposed in Japan as it was considered a cold blooded system. Now a global medical technology company Olympus has taken up the steps to reforming its system and introducing this western style value. Let’s see if the interview with Olympus’s Head of Human Resources can unbox Japan.

There are a certain number of school age children in Japan who haven’t attended schools for prolonged time and it has been a social problem. The reasons are chronically ill such as depression or mentally disabled from being bullied but some are unaware of reasons why they cannot go to school. The number of those children hit bottom in 2012 but it is in a sharp increase since 2013.
A new school in Gifu city opened this spring, offering an eye opening solution for those who refused to go to schools. A speech made by an associate professor from Kyoto University brought the audience into tears at the unveiling ceremony.
Let’s see if his speech can unbox Japan.

In recent years, religions seem to be facing an issue to become a thing of the past globally. On the other hand, there is a huge demand for mindfulness in the stressful society as well. There is one team in Kyoto city that has announced that they have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn Buddhist scriptures and might be able to solve people's problems.
The aim is to make the teachings of Buddhism more accessible. The team is planning to improve the bot and make it available to the public. Let’s see if Mr. Kumagai, who is an associate professor of Buddhist studies at Kyoto University, and his team can unbox Japan.

Social Withdrawal called HIKIKOMORI in Japanese has been a problem in Japan for at least 30 years or so. Most of them are younger adults who were withdrawn from society for various reasons and do not or cannot go to work and stay home most of the time while having their elder parents take care of them. Nowadays it has become a long-term problem so that their parents are too old to take care, and with no income. It is difficult for them to seek care or advice from outside, and they have become isolated from society. In some cases, it ends up killing themselves. There is an article about one man who used to withdraw for 14 years but became active because of UberEats. Let’s see if his story can unbox Japan. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/baf55c1c0c279b3dff903c02e72976ae6a582439

Have you ever heard of a show called Lunch ON! ? It is one of my favorite shows on NHK world. In the show, a team of producers and a camera crew travel places in Japan to ask people to show their lunches. The episode always includes surprises and small heartwarming dramas. Narration by an actor Nakai Kiichi is always cheerful as well. Let’s see if an interview with the show’s producer Mr. Matsuba as well as leading actor Mr. Nakai can unbox Japan. https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20210318-OYT1T50140/

A Brilliant Way To Get 18 Young Voters To Vote Earlier this year, I received a request to do a podcast on politics in Japan.

Let’s see if this unique idea reported on Yomiuri Newspaper can unbox Japan. (Source) https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/election/local/20210318-OYT1T50033/

March 11 is the day the enormous earthquake hit east Japan 10 years ago. I’d like to express many thanks who offered support from all over the world to my home country, Japan. The total deaths of 15,899 and over 2,500 people are still missing. The Tohoku area is recovering day by day but will need more time for full recovery. Today’s topic is something related to death. When someone passes away, the style of funeral varies by country, religion, or family. Majority of Japanese follow the ritual of Buddhism when it comes to funerals. Most of the time, the bodies are cremated and the ashes are kept in the urn. Then families bury urns inside the graves. But COVID19 brought a new change to this. Let’s see if we can unbox Japan.
