00:00:00It's still early this year, and today is March.
00:00:06But why are you going that far on a Saturday?
00:00:11That's right! This week, we'll be sending you a special version a day earlier than the usual Sunday!
00:00:19However, the content and the cast are almost the same, so don't worry!
00:00:26The year 2025 is said to be a year of great change.
00:00:30The entire generation of Dankai is now over 75 years old,
00:00:34and about 5% of the country's population is in their late 20s.
00:00:38On the other hand, there are concerns about the decrease in labor force due to aging, and the stagnation of economic activity.
00:00:45There is a wave of change, such as the progress of labor reform, digitalization, and the advancement of AI.
00:00:53Now is the time for Japan to make a radical reform.
00:01:00Meanwhile, in the United States, President Trump and the Elon Musk-led Government Law Enforcement Team
00:01:07are trying to make a mess of the government agency and implement a major reform.
00:01:13So, can I go that far today, N.P.?
00:01:18With the theme of change and reform, let's take a look at the latest news.
00:01:23Here are the big news of the year 2025.
00:01:28The United States is pushing for totalitarianism.
00:01:31China-based AI, DeepSeek, is threatening.
00:01:35Japan, which is in the middle of the Cold War, is on the brink of collapse.
00:01:39Why is it so expensive?
00:01:41The Rice Crisis in Reiwa.
00:01:433.2 billion bowls of rice are missing.
00:01:47The government is issuing a deposit of 210,000 tons.
00:01:51A road collapse in Saitama due to the collapse of a sewer pipe.
00:01:56Is the cause of inflation?
00:01:59At this rate, Japan will be full of holes.
00:02:03President Trump has ordered the suspension of manufacturing of 1-cent products.
00:02:08Should we also abolish the 1-yen bill in Japan?
00:02:12Is it a waste of tax to spend 3-yen on manufacturing?
00:02:17The daily manga, Robo-no-Fujii, is a big hit.
00:02:20The reader sympathizes with the life of a middle-aged man in the nature.
00:02:25Where is the man's heart and the whereabouts of the hotel lobby?
00:02:30Closing in on the latest news.
00:02:33Familiar members of the committee will discuss thoroughly.
00:02:38Can I go that far today, N.P.?
00:02:41Up to the end of the week, a special edition of the Great Revolution of 2025.
00:02:55Hello.
00:02:57This time, we will discuss thoroughly on the theme of change.
00:03:01I'm with the committee today. Thank you.
00:03:07This time, we will have a meeting on Saturday, a day earlier than usual.
00:03:14Some people may not be able to see it on Sunday.
00:03:18Today, we will have a meeting on Saturday.
00:03:21As usual, we will have a meeting, so please look forward to it.
00:03:27AI engineer, Mr. Takahiro Anno, will appear for the first time in about half a year.
00:03:36Mr. Anno, I see you on TV in various places.
00:03:41I'm sorry to stand out so much.
00:03:44You've been pulled in many places, haven't you?
00:03:47It's not me.
00:03:49Recently, AI has made a lot of moves.
00:03:54That's why I'm invited here.
00:03:57Mr. Anno's hair is very cute.
00:03:59Please turn around.
00:04:01I made a ball.
00:04:03Are you doing it yourself?
00:04:04I asked a make-up artist to do it.
00:04:06But I always make a rough ball.
00:04:09Your hair looks like a rival.
00:04:12It's not a rival.
00:04:14It looks good on you.
00:04:16You look like a ball.
00:04:20The back of your head is beautiful.
00:04:22Please turn around.
00:04:24Is it me?
00:04:26It's beautiful.
00:04:29I didn't say anything.
00:04:33This is the lineup.
00:04:36Let's take a look.
00:04:38There are five people in this lineup.
00:04:43Let's start with the story that will have a big impact on the Japanese economy.
00:04:49Let's start with the U.S.-China relationship.
00:04:54Weekly Sokomabe.
00:04:59U.S.-China relationship.
00:05:01The U.S.-China spiritual war has entered a new era.
00:05:05Trump's total embezzlement is no exception in Japan.
00:05:09The U.S. demands to corner Japan even more.
00:05:12What is the threat of deep-seeking Chinese AI that aims to send AI?
00:05:17Will Japan be swallowed by China in the U.S.-China relationship?
00:05:21Will Japan fly from the U.S.-China relationship?
00:05:26China's economic development is rapid.
00:05:29China's military power is increasing.
00:05:31China's ambition to overtake the U.S. is clear.
00:05:35The U.S.-China spiritual war has been said to be more difficult than the U.S.-China spiritual war.
00:05:42However, the power balance has changed.
00:05:47The U.S.-China relationship.
00:05:49President Trump has signed an additional 10% tariff on imports from China on January 1.
00:05:58The U.S. is currently imposing tariffs on imports from China on each item.
00:06:04The U.S. is currently imposing tariffs on imports from China on each item.
00:06:14The U.S. is currently imposing tariffs on imports from China on each item.
00:06:24The U.S. government has imposed additional tariffs on imports from the U.S.
00:06:30including 15% on coal and natural gas, 10% on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and large automobiles.
00:06:37On July 7, the U.S.-Japan trade talks,
00:06:40President Trump said that the U.S.-Japan trade deficit is about $1 trillion,
00:06:45which is about 15 trillion yen.
00:06:48On the other hand,
00:06:51President Obama said that the U.S.-Japan trade deficit is about $1 trillion,
00:06:55which is about 15 trillion yen.
00:06:58He said that the U.S.-Japan trade deficit is about $1 trillion,
00:07:02which is about 15 trillion yen.
00:07:04However, on the 10th of last month,
00:07:06President Trump announced that he would impose an additional 25% tariff on iron and aluminum products imported from the U.S.
00:07:15The Japanese government, which is in a hurry,
00:07:18has asked the U.S. government to remove additional tariffs from Japan.
00:07:23In addition, President Trump has instructed the U.S. government to impose an additional tariff on countries with a high rate of tariffs on the U.S.
00:07:33He also said that he will take individual action after investigating the problems in each country,
00:07:38including EU, Japan, and Korea.
00:07:42At that time, what was happening in China?
00:07:46On the 20th of January, President Trump's inauguration day,
00:07:49DeepSeek, a Chinese venture company, released Seisei AI R1.
00:07:57It is a large-scale language model that supports Chinese and English.
00:08:02According to Hong Kong media, the development period is two months,
00:08:05and the development cost is $5.6 million, which is less than one-tenth of ChatGPT.
00:08:11It has been downloaded 1.6 million times around the world since its release on the 5th,
00:08:15and has become the number one app store in the U.S. and China.
00:08:19R1 is rated to have the same performance as OpenAI's ChatGPT,
00:08:25which raises concerns that the U.S. economy in the field of Seisei AI will fluctuate.
00:08:30In the U.S. financial market, panic sales have occurred mainly in semiconductors and AI-related stocks.
00:08:36The stock price of NVIDIA, a semiconductor manufacturer for Seisei AI in the U.S., has plummeted,
00:08:41and the value of the stock has dropped to $6,000.
00:08:44That's about 90 trillion yen in Japanese yen.
00:08:48However, the shadow of the Chinese government is also visible behind DeepSeek,
00:08:54and there is a possibility that personal information and usage history will be leaked to China.
00:08:58In Japan, Director Hayashi Kanbo said,
00:09:01Each government agency is considering the risks and seeking to determine the cost of use.
00:09:08In December last year, Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya
00:09:12discussed a major problem with a Chinese-Beijing super-large state-owned ship.
00:09:17He criticized the decision to consider a short-term residence visa for Chinese tourists.
00:09:24Some members of the House of Representatives have said that Japan is a foreign country.
00:09:30So I have a question for you all.
00:09:33Who do you think is going to corner Japan, which is in a pinch?
00:09:45Who do you think is going to corner Japan, which is in a pinch?
00:09:51Everyone's answers are divided.
00:09:54First of all, Mr. Tajima, do you think it's the United States?
00:09:58I think the U.S. is saying something very strong right now.
00:10:03Do you think it's a weakness for Japan?
00:10:06Don't you think it's getting soft?
00:10:08I think the U.S. is more powerful than Japan.
00:10:12But Mr. Trump is not going to make a full statement right away.
00:10:16So I think it's better to be patient and wait and see.
00:10:21Looking at the Trump administration,
00:10:24compared to the favor they receive and the favor the other party receives,
00:10:29the moment you think it's better to raise it, it's a little bit more.
00:10:33Japan is no exception to that, right?
00:10:35So the rich countries like Japan,
00:10:37you've been told many times not to think they'll protect you.
00:10:40Can you do that again?
00:10:42It's about the first principle of the United States.
00:10:44For example, there was a NATO meeting the other day.
00:10:48What the U.S. said was,
00:10:49anyway, 5% of European countries should raise their military spending.
00:10:53Don't rely solely on the U.S.
00:10:55So Europe is saying that NATO has to become a great power again.
00:10:59It's not like the U.S. is saying,
00:11:01then it's up to you, bye-bye.
00:11:03Everyone's putting pressure on each other,
00:11:05and everyone's trying to protect each other.
00:11:07So the U.S.'s first principle is that NATO becomes stronger,
00:11:10and the U.S.'s first principle is that the world is at peace.
00:11:13The U.S.'s first principle is that there will be no Taiwan friendship.
00:11:16For the sake of the U.S.'s first principle,
00:11:18we will be fully involved in the Taiwan policy.
00:11:20So how far will Japan's first principle go?
00:11:23In other words, Japan's first principle has not been considered by the U.S. at all.
00:11:26In the first place, Japan has never become the first principle.
00:11:29It's the only country that has fallen apart for the sake of the world.
00:11:33Any country, whether it's China, the U.S., Russia, the U.K., or France,
00:11:37has always been the first principle.
00:11:39There hasn't been a single second where the U.S.
00:11:41has fallen apart for the sake of the world.
00:11:43Japan is the only country that has fallen apart for the sake of the world.
00:11:47Japan has to become the first principle.
00:11:50Before you answer, Mr. Miyake,
00:11:53I'd like to hear what the current Trump administration thinks about Japan and the world.
00:11:59Trump?
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:01Can I make my own hypothesis?
00:12:03Yes, you can.
00:12:05First of all, Japan cannot fight two or three wars in the world.
00:12:10It doesn't have the ability to do so.
00:12:12That's the first point.
00:12:14Secondly, the country that has the potential to threaten the prosperity and independence of the U.S.
00:12:21is not Russia.
00:12:23Russia is weak.
00:12:24It's not Iran.
00:12:25It's China.
00:12:26I see.
00:12:27Therefore, it is my hypothesis that Mr. Trump is trying to make peace with Russia,
00:12:33stabilize the Middle East,
00:12:35and use its influence in the Indo-Pacific region,
00:12:38that is, to try to use it against China.
00:12:42But that's only if the Trump administration has a proper strategy.
00:12:47I don't know if it does.
00:12:48In other words, Mr. Zelensky is saying that Russia is a bit of a threat to Ukraine.
00:12:55Is he trying to run away with Russia?
00:12:57Yes, he is trying to run away with Russia.
00:12:59It depends on how far Russia can go.
00:13:02So, the Trump administration's wariness against China has been going on for a long time.
00:13:09It's the same in the U.S.
00:13:11So, why did I say, don't blame people here?
00:13:15As you said, Japan should be the first.
00:13:20Japan should do it by itself.
00:13:22I don't care what you say.
00:13:24What is Japan's national interest?
00:13:26What is its strategy to maximize its national interest?
00:13:30Don't discuss things like that.
00:13:32If the U.S. says something like that,
00:13:34if China says something like that,
00:13:36why don't you just stop doing things like that?
00:13:40However, if the U.S. is interested in China now,
00:13:44the U.S. will never be able to control China without the U.S. military base in Japan.
00:13:49So, the relationship with the U.S. is finally getting better.
00:13:54The balance is getting better.
00:13:56So, I think this is a great opportunity.
00:13:59So, stop worrying about what the U.S. says and what China says.
00:14:03I think everyone should really think about what kind of strategy Japan should have now.
00:14:09Mr. Toyoda, what do you think of the U.S.?
00:14:11Of course, it's the first law of the land.
00:14:14If any country implements this law,
00:14:16it will become the first law of the land,
00:14:18it will become the first law of trade,
00:14:20it will become the first law of war,
00:14:22it will become the first law of division.
00:14:24So, humanity has made a lot of mistakes
00:14:26in a long history,
00:14:28such as the international order,
00:14:30the international rules,
00:14:32and the rules of the United Nations.
00:14:34The U.S. came out and said,
00:14:36I don't care about that anymore.
00:14:38Russia and China,
00:14:40we have been evacuating them,
00:14:42but the U.S. said,
00:14:44I think everyone is too cruel to Japan.
00:14:46When I said, let's do something,
00:14:48Japan said,
00:14:50I'll give you my snacks,
00:14:52I'll lend you my manga,
00:14:54so please forgive me.
00:14:56That's no good as a rule.
00:14:58So, I don't want Japan to say,
00:15:00please make this an exception.
00:15:02I want Japan to say,
00:15:04it doesn't matter if it's unilateral,
00:15:06it doesn't matter if it's a joint WTO,
00:15:08even if it's a lie,
00:15:10I want Japan to say,
00:15:12America is not a giant,
00:15:14it's rude to the giant.
00:15:16The giant is a kind man.
00:15:18So, the giant is usually kind,
00:15:20but the giant gets a little crazy
00:15:22and goes crazy,
00:15:24and everyone says,
00:15:26that's no good.
00:15:28Also, the economy of Japan
00:15:30has dropped a lot.
00:15:32In the past 30 years,
00:15:34the GDP of the people
00:15:36has tripled in the U.S.,
00:15:38so the country's power has fallen.
00:15:40So, it's not the fault of the people,
00:15:42but the country's own power.
00:15:44So, in that sense,
00:15:46AI is also the same,
00:15:48but it's really about time
00:15:50that we fight for trade.
00:15:52As you said,
00:15:54the U.S. GDP has tripled.
00:15:56If you look closely at this,
00:15:58for example,
00:16:00there is a number called S&P in the U.S.,
00:16:02and it is a top 5 company.
00:16:04Google, Facebook, Amazon,
00:16:06they all have a huge influence.
00:16:08If those 5 companies,
00:16:10the so-called big tech companies,
00:16:12disappear,
00:16:14it will be almost the same
00:16:16as the daily average.
00:16:18So, if you look at the economy,
00:16:20the information technology
00:16:22has a huge influence on the U.S.
00:16:24So, I wrote about AI,
00:16:26but I think the influence
00:16:28of AI in the future
00:16:30will be much bigger
00:16:32than the big tech companies
00:16:34in the U.S.
00:16:36It will have a huge impact
00:16:38on the economy,
00:16:40and it will have a huge impact
00:16:42on security,
00:16:44so it is a very important technology.
00:16:46In that sense,
00:16:48Elon Musk has joined
00:16:50the AI field in the U.S.,
00:16:52but both companies
00:16:54are starting to realize
00:16:56the importance of AI,
00:16:58and they are starting
00:17:00to invest a lot of money.
00:17:02Let's start with Mr. Suda.
00:17:04I have a question for Mr. Suda.
00:17:06Why is it that DeepSeek
00:17:08has been able to develop
00:17:10AI at the same level
00:17:12as ChatGTP
00:17:14in such a short period of time
00:17:16in China?
00:17:18It is said that it was
00:17:20able to do it cheaply in the streets,
00:17:22but I think it is quite suspicious
00:17:24that it was able to do it
00:17:26really cheaply.
00:17:28There is a figure
00:17:30that only shows
00:17:32how much it cost
00:17:34to run the computer,
00:17:36and it is not known
00:17:38how much it cost
00:17:40to invest in the equipment
00:17:42or how much
00:17:44it cost to build
00:17:46the trial and error.
00:17:48So, I don't know
00:17:50if it was expensive
00:17:52or cheap
00:17:54when compared
00:17:56to ChatGPT.
00:17:58It is about the same
00:18:00as the model
00:18:02that was developed
00:18:046 months ago.
00:18:06There are people
00:18:08who say that
00:18:10ChatGPT is
00:18:12similar to American
00:18:14technology.
00:18:16It is said that
00:18:18NVIDIA's H800
00:18:20was downgraded
00:18:22from the Chinese company,
00:18:24but it was quite high-performance.
00:18:26There is a suspicion
00:18:28that ChatGPT
00:18:30was able to learn
00:18:32from the data
00:18:34released by NVIDIA.
00:18:36When I asked DeepSeek
00:18:38who they were,
00:18:40they said that
00:18:42they were ChatGPT
00:18:44made by OpenAI.
00:18:57Also, the GPU
00:18:59is H800.
00:19:01This is a one-off GPU.
00:19:03The US has
00:19:05made a policy
00:19:07not to hand over good GPUs.
00:19:09But in fact,
00:19:11there are reports
00:19:13from Bloomberg
00:19:15that tens of thousands
00:19:17of GPU servers
00:19:19were brought in
00:19:21through the third country.
00:19:23So, I don't know
00:19:25how deep
00:19:27AI technology
00:19:29will spread to the world.
00:19:31For example,
00:19:33when AI technology
00:19:35spreads to China,
00:19:37new countries
00:19:39will use
00:19:41Chinese AI
00:19:43rather than
00:19:45American AI.
00:19:47What do you think?
00:19:49There is a possibility.
00:19:51DeepSeek
00:19:53has received
00:19:55a lot of support from Japanese companies.
00:19:57It was quite difficult
00:19:59to make
00:20:01ChatGPT-01 class
00:20:03by ourselves.
00:20:05With DeepSeek,
00:20:07we can customize it.
00:20:09But everyone,
00:20:11you don't have to download
00:20:13DeepSeek.
00:20:15It's not because
00:20:17DeepSeek is bad.
00:20:19In fact,
00:20:21it's our job
00:20:23to provide information.
00:20:25So, if Chinese government
00:20:27asks us to provide
00:20:29DeepSeek,
00:20:31we have to provide it.
00:20:33So, if you download
00:20:35DeepSeek,
00:20:37you can get everything.
00:20:39From your point of view,
00:20:41Chinese DeepSeek
00:20:43should not be used.
00:20:45But ChatGPT-01
00:20:47is said to be
00:20:49influenced by
00:20:51American thinking.
00:20:53As Mr. Miyake said,
00:20:55it should be used
00:20:57as a whole in Japan.
00:20:59It's about Sovereign AI.
00:21:01We should have
00:21:03a large-scale language model.
00:21:05Is it possible?
00:21:07I don't want to say this
00:21:09in front of Mr. Arno,
00:21:11but I have been interested
00:21:13in Japanese AI
00:21:15for about 10 years.
00:21:17But Japanese AI
00:21:19has zero military application.
00:21:21You can't use it
00:21:23in universities.
00:21:25But we have to use
00:21:27AI in the latter half
00:21:29including military application.
00:21:31Certainly,
00:21:33we know the risk
00:21:35of information leakage
00:21:37because there are servers
00:21:39in China.
00:21:41But the American government
00:21:43has a backdoor.
00:21:45You don't like China, do you?
00:21:47As you said,
00:21:49there is a law in China
00:21:51and a patriotic law in America.
00:21:53If the American government
00:21:55orders it,
00:21:57the data in the server
00:21:59will be sold.
00:22:01DeepSeek
00:22:03has Chinese values
00:22:05and ChatGPT
00:22:07has American values.
00:22:09They have the same structure.
00:22:11Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Arno.
00:22:13I think it's a threat.
00:22:15Because I downloaded both.
00:22:17What?
00:22:19It's shallow.
00:22:21It's too open.
00:22:23No, it's not.
00:22:25There is no Japanese version.
00:22:27However,
00:22:29there was a picture
00:22:31of Trump
00:22:33wearing a crown
00:22:35and saying,
00:22:37Long live the king.
00:22:39I don't think
00:22:41it's a threat.
00:22:43It's a similar country.
00:22:45I think so.
00:22:47If we discuss it
00:22:49in the same way,
00:22:51I think it's a wrong way
00:22:53to look at it.
00:22:55I think Mr. Ishiba
00:22:57did a good job.
00:22:59Why?
00:23:01As I said earlier,
00:23:03America's interest is in China
00:23:05and holding on to Russia
00:23:07and stabilizing Iran.
00:23:09Where did they come from?
00:23:11Mexico, Canada,
00:23:13and China.
00:23:15These are the three countries
00:23:17with the biggest trade deficit.
00:23:19The next country is the EU.
00:23:21They will go to the EU.
00:23:23Japan will go after that.
00:23:25So,
00:23:27when they went to the EU,
00:23:29Japan was not on
00:23:31Trump's radar screen.
00:23:33They were just following him.
00:23:35They were just following him.
00:23:37I think we should appreciate
00:23:39how much effort he put
00:23:41on the ground.
00:23:43It's the legacy of the officials
00:23:45who supported Mr. Abe and Mr. Abe.
00:23:47It's not Mr. Ishiba's effort.
00:23:49I don't know if I can say that.
00:23:51Let's move on to the next topic.
00:23:53There are a lot of topics.
00:23:55I'm very curious about this.
00:23:57Where did the rice go?
00:23:59Let's look at
00:24:01the rice crisis in Reiwa.
00:24:07The Great Revolution, Part 5
00:24:09The Rice Crisis in Reiwa
00:24:11The Rice Crisis in Reiwa
00:24:13hit the Japanese household.
00:24:15Where did the 210,000 tons go?
00:24:17Who is the real culprit
00:24:19who raised the price of rice?
00:24:21What will happen
00:24:23to the price of rice
00:24:25in the future
00:24:27due to the late response
00:24:29from the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:24:31Forestry and Fisheries?
00:24:33While the price of rice
00:24:35in the future
00:24:37has been hit hard,
00:24:39the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:24:41Forestry and Fisheries
00:24:43announced that they will
00:24:45start releasing
00:24:47stored rice for the emergency
00:24:49on the 14th of last month.
00:24:51The stored rice is
00:24:53210,000 tons.
00:24:55It is seen that
00:24:57this will make the price
00:24:59easier to fall.
00:25:01On the other hand,
00:25:03the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:25:05Forestry and Fisheries
00:25:07has been delayed in
00:25:09responding to the rice crisis.
00:25:11Last summer,
00:25:13the price of rice
00:25:15began to rise
00:25:17due to the shortage
00:25:19of rice.
00:25:21At this point,
00:25:23the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:25:25Forestry and Fisheries
00:25:27announced that
00:25:29they will release
00:25:31stored rice for the emergency
00:25:33on the 14th of last month.
00:25:35Why was the decision
00:25:37delayed?
00:25:39According to the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:25:41rice harvested last year
00:25:43increased by 180,000 tons
00:25:45from last year,
00:25:47but the amount of rice
00:25:49purchased from farmers
00:25:51such as J.A.
00:25:53has fallen by
00:25:55about 210,000 tons
00:25:57from last year.
00:25:59It is seen that
00:26:01the rice has disappeared,
00:26:03but the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:26:05Forestry and Fisheries
00:26:07has not been able to find it.
00:26:09On the other hand,
00:26:11it is pointed out that
00:26:13the government has been
00:26:15suppressing the production
00:26:17of rice for many years.
00:26:19The policy was abolished
00:26:21in 2018,
00:26:23but the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:26:25Forestry and Fisheries
00:26:27has been suppressing the production
00:26:29of rice for many years.
00:26:31As a result,
00:26:33the rice harvested in 2023
00:26:35has decreased
00:26:37by about 10%
00:26:39from 2018.
00:26:41In addition,
00:26:43the number of rice farmers
00:26:45has decreased,
00:26:47and the average age of farmers
00:26:49is 68.7 years old.
00:26:51It is said that
00:26:53the age of rice farmers
00:26:55has decreased.
00:26:57I have a question for everyone.
00:26:59Do you think that
00:27:01the rice production now
00:27:03needs to be changed?
00:27:05I have a question for everyone.
00:27:07Do you think that
00:27:09the rice production now
00:27:11needs to be changed?
00:27:13Everyone says it is necessary.
00:27:15There are various arguments,
00:27:17so I would like to look at them one by one.
00:27:19Mr. Suda,
00:27:21I think that
00:27:23the Ministry of Agriculture,
00:27:25Forestry and Fisheries
00:27:27is obviously lying.
00:27:29They say that they don't know
00:27:31where the rice went,
00:27:33but it is impossible.
00:27:35There is a law on rice.
00:27:37There is a law called
00:27:39Traceability Act.
00:27:41It is necessary to record
00:27:43how the rice moved
00:27:45from farmers to farmers,
00:27:47farmers to farmers,
00:27:49farmers to farmers,
00:27:51and farmers to farmers.
00:27:53If you look at it,
00:27:55you can find out where the rice went.
00:27:57Why don't you do it?
00:27:59No one has done it yet.
00:28:01What is happening is that
00:28:03the rice is sold every October.
00:28:05The rice starts to be sold
00:28:07in October
00:28:09and it is sold until September
00:28:11the following year.
00:28:13However, from October
00:28:15last year,
00:28:17for example,
00:28:19the rice sold
00:28:21in Osaka
00:28:23was sold
00:28:25up to 30 kilograms.
00:28:27However,
00:28:29the rice sold
00:28:31in the U.S.
00:28:33was sold
00:28:35up to 40 kilograms.
00:28:37What is happening
00:28:39is that
00:28:41only new rice
00:28:43has been sold
00:28:45since October.
00:28:47The new rice
00:28:49and the old rice
00:28:51have been sold
00:28:53in the U.S.
00:28:55but the old rice
00:28:57has been sold
00:28:59out.
00:29:01The amount of rice
00:29:03that was sold
00:29:05in the U.S.
00:29:07was small.
00:29:09Only new rice
00:29:11was sold.
00:29:13However,
00:29:15due to the limited supply
00:29:17of new rice,
00:29:19there was a shortage
00:29:21of rice in the U.S.
00:29:23in 2023.
00:29:25The U.S.
00:29:27wanted to hide
00:29:29the shortage of new rice
00:29:31but the U.S.
00:29:33didn't know
00:29:35where it was.
00:29:37The U.S.
00:29:39didn't know
00:29:41where it was.
00:29:43The U.S.
00:29:45didn't know
00:29:47where it was.
00:29:49The U.S.
00:29:51thought that
00:29:53the U.S.
00:29:55was supplying
00:29:57the U.S.
00:29:59with rice.
00:30:01However,
00:30:03the U.S.
00:30:05only supplied
00:30:07the U.S.
00:30:09with rice
00:30:11in the U.S.

00:35:57in the U.S.
00:35:59in the U.S.
00:36:01in the U.S.
00:36:07I think how much really low-product offering is really important.
00:36:15In the past, the price of a product, the amount of production, and the number of farmers
00:36:21have all gone down in the blink of an eye.
00:36:24In order to maintain the current price,
00:36:28the price has also gone down.
00:36:3030 years ago, it was about 22,000 yen or 3,000 yen for 60 kilos.
00:36:35As the price went down, it went up to about 12,000 yen in 2021.
00:36:41In the past two or three years, the price has gone up.
00:36:44But now, the price of rice has continued to go down.
00:36:47So how much is the appropriate price for rice?
00:36:50What should we do from now on?
00:36:52Your point is very interesting.
00:36:55How much is the appropriate price?
00:36:57It's better for us consumers to be cheap,
00:37:00but how much is it for farmers to live?
00:37:04It could be a little more expensive.
00:37:06It's the same with fertilizers and pesticides.
00:37:08I've heard that agricultural machinery costs tens of millions or tens of millions.
00:37:12If you use it for 10 or 15 years,
00:37:15it's time to buy it back.
00:37:17Everyone gives up.
00:37:19But really, you can make rice the same as a normal product.
00:37:23Don't be stupid about paying for fertilizers.
00:37:25You can just make it a normal product.
00:37:27You don't need rice production anymore.
00:37:30You don't need it.
00:37:33It's like rice and women.
00:37:36It's the same.
00:37:38It's like rice and women.
00:37:40It's the same.
00:37:42Is it okay?
00:37:43Can't you do anything well with AI?
00:37:47But recently, there's been a lot of research
00:37:50that uses AI to increase the amount of harvest.
00:37:53For example, even if it's not that big,
00:37:57it may have been difficult to raise Cessna,
00:37:59but you can raise drones.
00:38:01If you look at the drone from above,
00:38:03you can see that this part is a little sick,
00:38:05so let's give it medicine early.
00:38:07This part is a little sick,
00:38:09so let's give it a little more fertilizer.
00:38:11There's a strategy like that.
00:38:13In Shizuoka Prefecture,
00:38:15about 30% of the rice harvest is increased.
00:38:19There are cases like that.
00:38:21I think there are many ways to use technology
00:38:24that can be done even on a small scale.
00:38:26Next, this is also a serious problem.
00:38:29Let's move on to aging infrastructure.
00:38:34Up to the end of the week,
00:38:36let's look at the major changes in 2025.
00:38:39Aging infrastructure.
00:38:41Tomorrow, some roads will be flooded.
00:38:44Will we be able to see the flood in advance?
00:38:47High-speed roads, bridges, and tunnels are also dangerous.
00:38:51Will it be a loss of high-level economic growth?
00:38:54Lack of money, lack of people,
00:38:56and 20 districts with municipalities.
00:38:58Is it a country or a municipality?
00:39:00That's the problem.
00:39:02On January 28, 2025,
00:39:05the ground in the intersection in Yashio City, Saitama
00:39:08suddenly collapsed and the truck on the road crashed.
00:39:12How did the accident occur?
00:39:15According to Professor Reiko Kuwano of Tokyo University,
00:39:18who specializes in landslide prevention,
00:39:21when water flows into the ground from the damaged part of the sewer pipe,
00:39:26soil particles flow into the sewer pipe,
00:39:29creating a cavity.
00:39:31As the cavities expand,
00:39:34the surface of the road collapses
00:39:37and a hole appears.
00:39:40This kind of road collapse has recently occurred in various places.
00:39:44According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport,
00:39:47about 10,000 road collapses occur annually,
00:39:50and on average,
00:39:52about 29 accidents occur every day.
00:39:56The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
00:39:59has made it compulsory to inspect the part of the sewer pipe
00:40:02that is prone to corrosion once every five years.
00:40:05The sewer pipe in Yashio City, which caused this accident,
00:40:08has been used for 42 years.
00:40:12The damaged part was found to be partially corroded
00:40:15in the inspection in 2021,
00:40:18but it was judged that it did not need to be repaired immediately.
00:40:22The government has imposed a huge budget
00:40:25for the construction of a new public business.
00:40:29The infrastructure, including roads, bridges, tunnels, etc.,
00:40:32which were built during the high-economic period,
00:40:35is rapidly deteriorating.
00:40:39The local government, which oversees the infrastructure,
00:40:42is approaching massive inspections and repairs,
00:40:45but it is not making progress as expected
00:40:48due to serious budget deficiencies and lack of construction workers.
00:40:52In the meantime,
00:40:55several municipalities have jointly operated the infrastructure
00:40:58and have commissioned companies for experience.
00:41:02There are also indications that drones and AI will be necessary in the future.
00:41:07So I have a question for everyone.
00:41:10Do you think that the current infrastructure policy needs to be changed?
00:41:18Now, I'm asking everyone.
00:41:20Do you think that the current infrastructure policy needs to be changed?
00:41:24Well, it's divided into necessary and unnecessary,
00:41:27but I think everyone's opinion is similar,
00:41:30so I'd like to discuss it.
00:41:32Mr. Ono, I think there is a limit to what the local government can manage.
00:41:36That's right. There are various cases,
00:41:39but when it comes to construction, the government pays a lot of subsidies,
00:41:42but the local government is in charge of maintaining it.
00:41:45This is a very distorted system.
00:41:47It would be nice if it was a rich municipality like Tokyo,
00:41:50but it's not like that.
00:41:52It's like the times are going backwards.
00:41:55For example, the privatization of waterways,
00:41:58which is not limited to sewage, is a big problem.
00:42:01This is in the UK,
00:42:03but during the Thatcher administration,
00:42:05there was a lot of privatization,
00:42:08and now that the waterways have been privatized,
00:42:11it's not going anywhere.
00:42:13It's a big failure.
00:42:15And last year, the London water company in the UK went bankrupt.
00:42:20What?
00:42:21It went bankrupt.
00:42:23No way!
00:42:24That's right.
00:42:25They managed to get subsidies and are doing their best,
00:42:28but just a little while ago,
00:42:30about one-sixth of the population in the UK
00:42:33might not be able to drink water.
00:42:35There was such a panic.
00:42:37In Japan, there are various laws and regulations
00:42:40that are said to be good for the environment,
00:42:43but the government has to manage infrastructure properly.
00:42:47It's not just about roads and bridges.
00:42:50For example, the issue of the National Theatre.
00:42:53You can earn anything now,
00:42:55like a university.
00:42:57You shouldn't say you can earn something with infrastructure.
00:43:01It's strange to say you can earn waterways.
00:43:04It's strange to say you can earn sewage.
00:43:07It's necessary to live.
00:43:09It's necessary to live.
00:43:11It should be nationalized.
00:43:13I want to ask you,
00:43:15if it's nationalized, will it solve the problem?
00:43:18In this population-decreasing society,
00:43:21the amount of sewage used per day
00:43:24is not directly related to sewage processing.
00:43:27In rural areas, where the population is not densely populated,
00:43:31it's very inefficient.
00:43:33When it's time to update sewage processing,
00:43:36even if it's nationalized,
00:43:38it's difficult.
00:43:40If you think about it,
00:43:42it's necessary to downsize.
00:43:44In Aomori and Nagano prefectures,
00:43:46there is a local government
00:43:48that stops sewage processing.
00:43:50What should they do?
00:43:52They should say,
00:43:54please live here.
00:43:56If you live here,
00:43:58you should provide water for yourself.
00:44:01It's necessary to downsize.
00:44:03It's necessary to downsize.
00:44:05In order to maintain the current situation,
00:44:07it's necessary to secure budget.
00:44:09But the problem I want to address
00:44:11is the lack of volunteers.
00:44:13Volunteers are workers,
00:44:15and more importantly,
00:44:17they are construction workers.
00:44:19They are very limited.
00:44:21It started in 2001.
00:44:23It's the Koizumi government.
00:44:25Is it Takenaka's fault?
00:44:27Why isn't he here today?
00:44:29He was here last week.
00:44:31How long will politicians look at Japan?
00:44:34No one will look at Japan in 10, 20, 30 years.
00:44:37They only think about the next election.
00:44:40The Koizumi government started in 2001.
00:44:43It's been 5 years and 5 months.
00:44:45It has done budget reform 5 times
00:44:47and established budget.
00:44:49What surprised me was that
00:44:51in the first year,
00:44:53public business investment
00:44:55decreased by 10%.
00:44:57And after that,
00:44:59it decreased by 40% every year.
00:45:01It was a public business investment
00:45:03in the 10-year period.
00:45:05As a result,
00:45:07people couldn't afford to eat.
00:45:09So more and more people
00:45:11were unemployed.
00:45:13In the end, more than 1 million people
00:45:15lost their jobs
00:45:17and moved to other industries.
00:45:19The number of workers decreased.
00:45:21It's been going on for a long time.
00:45:23So even if construction is needed
00:45:25or recovery is needed,
00:45:27there are no workers.
00:45:29There are no volunteers.
00:45:31The biggest problem is
00:45:33that even if we invest money,
00:45:35we can't build a factory.
00:45:37As Mr. Anno said,
00:45:39there are companies
00:45:41that use drones and latest technology.
00:45:43Yes, there are.
00:45:45It's difficult in all areas,
00:45:47but it's quite efficient
00:45:49when it comes to inspection.
00:45:51For example,
00:45:53we have to set up a scaffold
00:45:55for negotiation.
00:45:57And people who can negotiate
00:45:59need a lot of experience.
00:46:01We can do that with drones.
00:46:03And we can also do
00:46:05the sealing work.
00:46:07There are drones that can
00:46:09go through the water.
00:46:11So I think
00:46:13it's quite efficient
00:46:15when it comes to inspection.
00:46:17However, it's difficult
00:46:19to fix it now.
00:46:21So it's important
00:46:23to shift the technicians
00:46:25who were involved in the inspection
00:46:27to the people who can do it.
00:46:29I know a company
00:46:31that does maintenance.
00:46:33They certainly
00:46:35have less people now,
00:46:37but they still have
00:46:39excellent people.
00:46:41They are doing their best,
00:46:43but they can't maintain
00:46:45the company without money.
00:46:47They do a lot of AI
00:46:49and inspect.
00:46:51They say,
00:46:53this is bad,
00:46:55Mr. Tajima,
00:46:57as Mr. Ono said,
00:46:59you're not good at
00:47:01cleaning up after work.
00:47:03I'm always like that.
00:47:05I get scolded by men again,
00:47:07but I do the same work
00:47:09as the man in front of me.
00:47:11He said earlier
00:47:13that the production of rice and women
00:47:15is the same.
00:47:17But I don't clean up after work
00:47:19even if I touch a woman.
00:47:21I don't wash the dishes
00:47:23until the end of the year.
00:47:25I don't think it's a man's story.
00:47:27It's not a man's story,
00:47:29but it's a woman's story.
00:47:31Why can't you see the future
00:47:33while you're doing it?
00:47:35Can't all Japanese people
00:47:37see the future?
00:47:39That's right.
00:47:41Where to fix
00:47:4310 or 20 years from now?
00:47:45If you do construction,
00:47:47you can increase the number
00:47:49of workers.
00:47:51How long will politicians
00:47:53look at Japan?
00:47:55No one will look at Japan
00:47:5710, 20, or 30 years from now.
00:47:59They'll only think about
00:48:01the next election.
00:48:03That's right.
00:48:05Social insurance, education,
00:48:07and raising children
00:48:09are discussed a lot in the media.
00:48:11But what about infrastructure?
00:48:13As long as this doesn't happen,
00:48:15people don't care.
00:48:17It's natural.
00:48:19It's getting really old.
00:48:21Lower and upper waterways
00:48:23are called independent production.
00:48:25It's not like there's coffee in it.
00:48:27It's a very tough system
00:48:29where you have to pay
00:48:31for the use of the upper and lower waterways.
00:48:33There are no people,
00:48:35there's no money,
00:48:37and there's nothing you can do.
00:48:39But while you're saying what to do,
00:48:41the lives of the people
00:48:43and the safety of the people
00:48:45will be lost.
00:48:47The number of tourists
00:48:49coming to Niseko
00:48:51is almost the same
00:48:53as the number of people
00:48:55coming to Niseko.
00:48:57As a result,
00:48:59the water supply
00:49:01has plummeted.
00:49:03What's being discussed
00:49:05is that tourists
00:49:07who come to Japan
00:49:09will be burdened
00:49:11by the low tourism tax.
00:49:13I think it's a good idea.
00:49:15As you can see,
00:49:17the upper waterways
00:49:19are still independent production.
00:49:21The lower waterways
00:49:23are not being used at all.
00:49:25That's why the tax
00:49:27on the upper and lower waterways
00:49:29is increasing.
00:49:31Niseko and Kyoto
00:49:33have introduced
00:49:35tourism tax,
00:49:37but isn't it okay
00:49:39to do it for the sake of the country?
00:49:41There's a difference
00:49:43between Niseko
00:49:45and Shin-Chitose.
00:49:47Wait a minute.
00:49:49That's crazy.
00:49:51How much do you think
00:49:53the Niseko tax will be?
00:49:55One million yen.
00:49:57You shouldn't be talking
00:49:59at a time like this.
00:50:01You should be a taxi driver
00:50:03at Niseko.
00:50:05Let's move on.
00:50:07How much
00:50:09is in your wallet?
00:50:11Now, let's look at
00:50:13the dollar bill.
00:50:15Weekly Sokonabe
00:50:172025 Big Change!
00:50:19The dollar bill.
00:50:21Mr. Trump
00:50:23has repeatedly signed
00:50:25the presidential order.
00:50:27Returning paper straws to plastic.
00:50:29The cost of 2 cents
00:50:31is 1 cent less.
00:50:33The dollar bill is the same.
00:50:35The Oregon issue.
00:50:37Japan is lagging behind
00:50:39But
00:50:41those who laugh at 1 cent
00:50:43cry for 1 cent.
00:50:45At the end of President Trump's
00:50:47return,
00:50:49a major reform
00:50:51is about to begin
00:50:53in the U.S.
00:50:55The presidential order
00:50:57signed by Mr. Trump.
00:50:59The name of Mexico 1
00:51:01is renamed to America 1.
00:51:03Transgender players
00:51:05are not allowed to participate
00:51:07in the U.S. election.
00:51:09And
00:51:11manufacturing of 1 cent
00:51:13is banned.
00:51:15Mr. Trump posted
00:51:17on social media
00:51:19that the U.S. has been
00:51:21producing pennies
00:51:23that cost more than 2 cents
00:51:25for a long time.
00:51:27This is a waste.
00:51:29The manufacturing is
00:51:31suspended.
00:51:33According to this,
00:51:35the U.S. should abolish
00:51:37the 1 cent bill.
00:51:39In his YouTube channel,
00:51:41he emphasized the cost of
00:51:43manufacturing 1 cent
00:51:45and the cost reduction
00:51:47of building an efficient system.
00:51:49He emphasized that
00:51:51we should abolish
00:51:53all the effects
00:51:55and stop
00:51:57the emission of
00:51:591 cent.
00:52:01By using electronic money,
00:52:03the U.S. should abolish
00:52:05the 1 cent bill.
00:52:07By the way,
00:52:09it is pointed out that
00:52:11it costs 3 cents
00:52:13to make 1 cent.
00:52:15I have a question.
00:52:17Do you agree
00:52:19or disagree
00:52:21with the abolition
00:52:23of 1 cent?
00:52:25Do you agree or disagree
00:52:27with the abolition
00:52:29of 1 cent?
00:52:31Do you agree or disagree with
00:52:33the abolition of 1 cent?
00:52:35I think that
00:52:37there are many people
00:52:39who think that
00:52:411 cent is cheap
00:52:43and they should
00:52:45abolish the 1 cent bill.
00:52:47In Europe,
00:52:49people cut up
00:52:51or cut down
00:52:53the 1 cent bill.
00:52:55I think it is possible
00:52:57in the future,
00:52:59but I don't think
00:53:01it is possible
00:53:03now.
00:53:05So,
00:53:07I think it is better
00:53:09to cut down
00:53:11the 1 cent bill.
00:53:13I agree with you.
00:53:15I think it is better
00:53:17to cut down
00:53:19the 1 cent bill.
00:53:21In the case of electronic money,
00:53:23it is legal to cut down
00:53:25the 1 cent bill
00:53:27but in the case of electronic money,
00:53:29it is legal to cut down
00:53:31all the 1 cent bill.
00:53:33So,
00:53:35it is better to cut down
00:53:37the 1 cent bill.
00:53:39It is said that
00:53:41it costs 3 yen to make
00:53:43a 1 cent bill.
00:53:45Recently,
00:53:47a new 1 cent bill
00:53:49was issued in Reiwa 6,
00:53:51and it cost
00:53:531 million yen.
00:53:55So,
00:53:57a new 1 cent bill
00:53:59costs 20.4 yen.
00:54:01So,
00:54:03a new 1 cent bill
00:54:05costs 9,980 yen.
00:54:07So,
00:54:09Japan has been
00:54:11making a lot of money
00:54:13since the Meiji era.
00:54:15However,
00:54:17it only makes
00:54:193 million yen
00:54:21every year.
00:54:23So,
00:54:25it costs a lot
00:54:27to make a 1 cent bill.
00:54:29Mr. Anno,
00:54:31do you have any advantages
00:54:33or disadvantages
00:54:35by adjusting the number of bills?
00:54:37As you said,
00:54:39considering the cost of
00:54:41exchanging the 1 cent bill
00:54:43and finding out
00:54:45how much it costs,
00:54:47120 million people
00:54:49are spending
00:54:51on exchanging the 1 cent bill.
00:54:53So,
00:54:55we can get rid of
00:54:57those people.
00:54:59Mr. Anno,
00:55:01could you say something
00:55:03more cool?
00:55:05I live in Kyoto,
00:55:07and there is a shop
00:55:09that is 2 minutes away
00:55:11from my house.
00:55:13There is also a travel agency
00:55:15in Yoshida Shrine.
00:55:17When I go shopping,
00:55:19I exchange the 1 cent bill
00:55:21with my neighbor.
00:55:23That's cool.
00:55:25It's a nuisance.
00:55:27No, no.
00:55:29I exchange the 1 cent bill
00:55:31with my neighbor,
00:55:33and she says
00:55:35thank you
00:55:37for the flowers.
00:55:39That's how we communicate.
00:55:41If I exchange the 1 cent bill
00:55:43with my neighbor,
00:55:45I have to do it
00:55:47in front of my neighbor.
00:55:49It's very difficult.
00:55:51I just print the QR code.
00:55:53Oh, I see.
00:55:55I see.
00:55:57When people are surprised,
00:55:59they exchange the 1 cent bill
00:56:01with their neighbors.
00:56:03That's how we get
00:56:05the 1 cent bill.
00:56:07That's the purpose of
00:56:09exchanging the 1 cent bill.
00:56:11I don't like people
00:56:13who line up in front of the TV
00:56:15to exchange the 1 cent bill.
00:56:17Why don't they just do it?
00:56:19I want people to use
00:56:21electronic money.
00:56:23We have to pay
00:56:25the extension fee
00:56:27and cash from the nursery.
00:56:29I want people to use
00:56:31electronic money.
00:56:33But there are
00:56:35so many places
00:56:37where you have to pay
00:56:39cash.
00:56:41Cash doesn't cost
00:56:43much.
00:56:45If you use a credit card,
00:56:47you can only get
00:56:4995 or 94 yen.
00:56:51You can use the QR code.
00:56:53You can use the QR code.
00:56:55You can use the QR code.
00:56:57We run a ramen shop.
00:56:59We only use cash.
00:57:01People say cash
00:57:03doesn't cost much.
00:57:05But there are risks
00:57:07like being robbed
00:57:09or losing a job.
00:57:11I think it might be more profitable.
00:57:13People who laugh at 1 yen
00:57:15will cry at 1 yen.
00:57:17That's not what an old man would say.
00:57:19Trump
00:57:21has
00:57:23the 1 cent bill.
00:57:25Some people in Japan
00:57:27might say that.
00:57:29But I don't care
00:57:31about populism.
00:57:33By the way, what do you think
00:57:35about Trump's policy
00:57:37to make things more efficient?
00:57:39It's not the first time
00:57:41that people like him
00:57:43have come out.
00:57:45America is a big
00:57:47federal government.
00:57:49It's true that
00:57:51it's a waste of money.
00:57:53But it's a big business.
00:57:55Some people are successful
00:57:57and some people are not.
00:57:59People have been
00:58:01trying to fix the federal government
00:58:03since the Kennedy administration.
00:58:05But they can't
00:58:07fix
00:58:09the federal government
00:58:11that easily.
00:58:13Elon Musk and Trump
00:58:15will have a fight.
00:58:17Speaking of Trump,
00:58:19he's easy to understand.
00:58:21There are only three reasons.
00:58:23First, he doesn't like the existing elite.
00:58:25Second,
00:58:27he likes strong leaders.
00:58:31He doesn't like
00:58:33being in the center.
00:58:35When people are surprised,
00:58:37he will make them do
00:58:39the same.
00:58:41It was like that in the early days of the United States.
00:58:43When people didn't like him,
00:58:45he would say,
00:58:47stop it.
00:58:49And then he would make it into news.
00:58:51It's his way of doing it.
00:58:53Making it into news is his goal.
00:58:55He wants to keep doing this.
00:58:57He wants to make it into news.
00:58:59That's right.
00:59:01He does it every day.
00:59:03If you don't prepare enough, you won't be able to keep doing it if you just think about it.
00:59:08But isn't 1 cent and a straw too small?
00:59:13Even if it's small, if you think it's popular, you'll be able to do it.
00:59:20I'm just praying that the arrow doesn't come to Japan.
00:59:24Now, let's move on to the last theme.
00:59:28Next, let's take a closer look at how people live their lives.
00:59:32Let's take a look at Robono Fujii.
00:59:42Robono Fujii, a manga about a hot-tempered man, is hot.
00:59:46The reader sympathizes with the life of a middle-aged man in nature.
00:59:51How should we live in a world that is hard to live in?
00:59:54What is the whereabouts of a man's heart and hot-tempered thoughts?
00:59:59What kind of manga is Robono Fujii?
01:00:03In his 40s, he was a self-taught non-governmental employee.
01:00:07He was a man with no expression on his face.
01:00:09He was a man with a plain existence.
01:00:11He was a man with a plain existence.
01:00:13Although his title is Fujii,
01:00:15the people around him are hard-hearted.
01:00:18The people around him are hard-hearted.
01:00:21The people around him are ordinary people.
01:00:24They are jealous of him.
01:00:27They are jealous of him.
01:00:29They are jealous of him.
01:00:31They are jealous of him.
01:00:33They despise him.
01:00:35They despise him.
01:00:37They despise him.
01:00:41One day, a young self-employed employee, Tanaka,
01:00:44happens to be with Fujii on his day off.
01:00:49There, Tanaka sympathizes with Fujii's way of life,
01:00:53where he doesn't get involved with others,
01:00:56doesn't get along with others,
01:00:58and doesn't compare himself with others.
01:01:01The people around him are also influenced by Fujii.
01:01:07Without a dramatic story development,
01:01:10there is no pleasant ending.
01:01:12However, like the characters in the play,
01:01:15the readers sympathize with Fujii's way of life.
01:01:19Although there are four volumes of the comic book,
01:01:22there are more than 700,000 copies of it.
01:01:26It is also nominated as the best comic book of the year
01:01:29by manga lovers from all over the world,
01:01:32mainly bookstores.
01:01:36There is another topic about this work.
01:01:41Ishikawa, a female employee,
01:01:43despises Fujii's way of life,
01:01:46but Tanaka thinks it is normal for a man to have an ulterior motive.
01:01:51One day, Tanaka invites Fujii to a hotel.
01:01:56When this episode was serialized in Big Comic Spirits,
01:02:00it became a hot topic among readers
01:02:03whether or not Fujii would accept the invitation.
01:02:07I would like the readers to see the result.
01:02:14I have a question for everyone.
01:02:16Do you think you need to change your way of life?
01:02:25I have a question for everyone.
01:02:27Do you think you need to change your way of life?
01:02:30Tajima and Miyake have the same answer.
01:02:34Is it Fujii?
01:02:37I don't get along with others.
01:02:41I don't get along with others.
01:02:43I don't compare myself with others.
01:02:46I find something interesting in everything.
01:02:49Would you go if you were invited to a hotel?
01:02:51I don't have an answer.
01:02:53I would like to think about it.
01:03:00How about you, Miyake?
01:03:02I don't know.
01:03:04I don't know what to say.
01:03:06I don't know what to say.
01:03:08I used to be able to get along with others.
01:03:11But I stopped acting.
01:03:14I don't want to get along with others.
01:03:16I don't care.
01:03:18I don't care if I am compared to others.
01:03:20It doesn't matter.
01:03:21But I don't feel gloomy.
01:03:24You seem to enjoy your life.
01:03:26I don't enjoy my life.
01:03:28I don't enjoy my life.
01:03:30Do you play in a band?
01:03:32I play in a band.
01:03:34But I don't enjoy my life.
01:03:39Don't say that, Miyake.
01:03:41I'm sorry.
01:03:43How about you, Anno?
01:03:45You wrote a cool comment.
01:03:47I read Fujii's comment.
01:03:49It's because of SNS.
01:03:51For example, if I am better at guitar than my friend,
01:03:55I used to say that I was better at guitar than my friend.
01:03:59But there are many people who are better than me on SNS.
01:04:03I can't boast about it.
01:04:06I think I have a strong desire for approval.
01:04:09It's easy to inflate.
01:04:11The hurdle is getting higher.
01:04:13Until your desire for approval is satisfied,
01:04:16you envy people because you can see them.
01:04:19I envy people because I can see them.
01:04:22The value of the economy is about to collapse.
01:04:25AI is the same as SNS.
01:04:29I think smartness is important now.
01:04:35But AI is smarter than humans.
01:04:38If you compare it with AI,
01:04:40there is not much difference between smart and not smart humans.
01:04:44AI era is good.
01:04:46It's like I've got a chance.
01:04:48The value of smartness is about to collapse.
01:04:51I wonder what kind of life is necessary.
01:04:54Mr. Sano, you've been talking about AGI.
01:04:58Mr. Son, you're talking about ASI.
01:05:01Do you mean that AI is better than humans?
01:05:06What should we do at that time?
01:05:08At that time...
01:05:09What will happen to this debate show?
01:05:11Will everyone sit here and talk about AI?
01:05:14What will happen?
01:05:15I think I have a desire to see this debate show.
01:05:20You want to see something useless, but you say it's useless.
01:05:23What do you mean?
01:05:26Humans don't watch the game of machines.
01:05:29I was impressed when I watched the game of Sota Fujii.
01:05:32I want to be Sota Fujii.
01:05:37What are you talking about?
01:05:39For example, you can see it by watching the game of shogi.
01:05:42Sota Fujii is very strong.
01:05:45But honestly, machines are stronger.
01:05:48But humans don't watch the game of machines.
01:05:52I was impressed when I watched the game of Sota Fujii.
01:05:55I want to be Sota Fujii.
01:05:57I think it's a time when each character is more important.
01:06:03I think it's more important than exams and academic history.
01:06:07I think it will be important for a long time.
01:06:09Then Meidai Nomura is not a salesperson.
01:06:12Why? I'm a good person.
01:06:15There are few people who appear on Yomiuri TV in Tokyo University.
01:06:19What do you mean?
01:06:21There are many characters.
01:06:23And there is a catchphrase, it's Tokyo University, but it's Meidai.
01:06:28AI doesn't have it.
01:06:30It's Tokyo University, but it's not Meidai.
01:06:32It's Meidai, but it's Tokyo University.
01:06:36I will do my best.
01:06:38I studied Robono Fujii until the morning yesterday.
01:06:45I was taken by a person who was a poet.
01:06:49I went to a place I didn't know at all.
01:06:52There were a lot of regular customers.
01:06:54Mr. Fujii was alone for a long time.
01:06:56He said, I'm going home soon.
01:06:58I went home first.
01:07:00The next day, I was asked if it was boring.
01:07:02No, it was fun.
01:07:04Mr. Fujii said.
01:07:06I thought it was amazing.
01:07:08When I went to a place where no one was there,
01:07:10I didn't want to be thought alone.
01:07:12I was bullied.
01:07:14I was depressed.
01:07:16I cried at home.
01:07:18But at the end,
01:07:20I thought it was boring and went home.
01:07:22Mr. Fujii said it was really fun.
01:07:24Thinking like that,
01:07:26I think it will lead to your own happiness.
01:07:28I think it will lead to the happiness of the people around you.
01:07:30I think it will lead to the happiness of the people around you.
01:07:32How about your personality?
01:07:36I don't want to be beautiful.
01:07:38I want to hear the voice of weak people.
01:07:40I joined the government office to become a member
01:07:42and now I am a member of the committee.
01:07:44I feel that I am not strong enough.
01:07:46I want to do a job that can help people.
01:07:48I want to do a job that can help people.
01:07:50I want to do a job that can help people.
01:07:52I want to do a job that can help people.
01:07:54I think I need to change my character a little bit.
01:07:56I think we need to change a little more in the sense that we want to do it.
01:07:59Oh, this program is useful.
01:08:00I think the world is useful.
01:08:01That's a good thing.
01:08:02What?

01:10:26Okay!
