A motivated idiot must be XX.

June 29,2025

This phrase is a rather extreme remark said to have been left behind by Napoleon. So what goes into the “XX”? The answer is—Levi’s vintage jeans, known as “Double X”! …Of course not. The real answer is: “Kill them.” An absolutely shocking statement. This corresponds to Type ② in the chart left, which outlines military roles based on aptitude, as defined by General von Seeckt, the highest-ranking figure in the German army. Seeing this, many people will probably find themselves nodding in recognition as old memories resurface—along with a rising sense of disgust. It’s like the growing frustration of dating someone who’s great at putting on a show, only to watch their shiny facade slowly wear off over time.

If I were to reinterpret the title phrase in a modern context, it would go something like this: “Never entrust a major role to someone who lacks self-awareness and introspection, yet has an oddly strong ambition to rise.” Why? Because when someone like Type ② gains the wrong kind of power, the people around them inevitably end up paying the price.

The nation has fallen , but the jeans remain.

Recently, I sorted through the clothes I owned. Why? Well, during my last health checkup, it was revealed that I had terminal lung cancer…So at the very end, I wanted to leave gracefully — like a bird that leaves no trace behind.  —Okay, not really. Nothing that dramatic. The truth is more mundane: I’ve gained over 10 kilograms since my younger days, my lifestyle has changed thanks to working from home, and I feel a growing resistance to keeping up with trends as I age. Just little things like that.

My Love Affair with the Classics ー Jeans, Ramen, The Beatles, and Me

April 29,2025

When I was about 15 or 16 years old, I remember being completely captivated by the Levi's jeans, named with three-digit numbers like 501, while flipping through a brochure I had picked up at a clothing store. At the time, young men with long hair, clad in tastefully faded denim and adorned with expensive Native American jewelry on their chests and fingers, were everywhere in youth magazines like Hot Dog.

Hungry - insufficien

March 31,2025

In my childhood, my family was not so wealthy. My allowance was smaller than those around me. I never played the arcade games my friends used to play for 50 yen a time. Instead, I was carefully nibbling on a box of snacks, which were more than enough for 10 yen.

The clothes are all given to me by my relatives. I couldn't buy expensive shoes like Nike, adidas, or puma, and it sounded good to say that they were unmarked, but I didn't know where they came from.

Backcasting

February 28,2025

A recent newspaper article was critical of business plans drawn up by companies, which often end up with boring targets such as a 10% increase in operating profit compared to the previous year. This makes it difficult to take concrete action to achieve the targets, and furthermore, it is difficult to motivate employees. The article emphasised the importance of setting an aspirational future state and calculating backwards from there to create a coherent storyline for realising it.
