カテゴリー: Demystifying Japan: Decoding Social Logic from the News

Bridging the “Yes, But…” Gap with Logic and Data.

Managing a Japanese team or business often feels like encountering a recurring “System Error”—the frustrating “Yes, But…” response where agreement doesn’t lead to action.

This category is a weekly attempt to decode these friction points. Leveraging insights from my Japanese Quora, which has garnered over 30 million views, I analyze daily news to reveal the underlying source code of Japanese professional behavior.

Current Objective

To provide a weekly “Management Patch”—a technical guide for non-Japanese leaders who need to move past cultural ambiguity and achieve actual “Hara-ochi” (Internal Integration) within their organizations.

Note: This is an ongoing project, with the goal of one update per week as we build this real-time manual together.
