陽キャ適応型日本人論 ― 世代を超える日本的軽さ｜The Brightly Adapted: How Generational Japan Learned to Smile and Survive
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
In Japan, being cheerful is not just a personality—it’s a survival skill.
This episode explores the “brightly adapted” Japanese: those who thrive by smiling, reading the room, and avoiding depth. Shigeki argues that such lightness, celebrated as social virtue, hides a quiet exhaustion beneath. In a society where air must not be disturbed, conformity becomes the path to success. Yet, he asks: what happens to the thinkers who cannot laugh along? True dignity, he concludes, lies in silence—in the courage to pause, reflect, and reclaim one’s own words in a country that fears seriousness.
