AISubs v3.7
It's the first time, isn't it?
It's the first time.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
It's time for WAKAPON NEWS.
The four of us will look at the news together today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
First of all, please introduce yourself.
I'm SUZU.
I'm YAMADA SUZU.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm MARI.
I'm MIZOBUCHI MARIA.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm YUINA.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm ABUACANA.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Isn't it awkward to introduce yourself?
I didn't know who I was.
Today, we're going to talk about money and economy.
I've invited three people who seem to know a lot about economy.
How confident are you?
MARI and YUINA are college students.
I'm sure you know a lot about economy.
Do you know a lot about economy?
I don't know a lot about economy.
Aren't you confident?
I'm not confident about economy.
I called you because I thought you would like money the most.
I'm worried about money a lot these days.
Do you watch the news a lot?
I didn't watch the news much, but I've been watching it lately.
If you don't watch the news, you can't keep up with society.
I haven't watched it at all.
Don't you watch TV?
I don't watch TV. I watch it on my cell phone.
Internet? It's easy to watch.
I think I have to watch it.
Do you have any news you're curious about lately?
I just said you looked like Suzu.
I'm getting more and more out of it.
I'm embarrassed now.
I don't watch the news at all.
You're lying!
I watch it online.
What about Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe is also strict when it comes to news.
If you don't watch it, you'll be caught.
Marilyn Monroe is getting more and more out of it.
That's right.
I think Marilyn Monroe is the strictest today.
There are three people who don't watch the news much today.
I'll ask you the hardest question first.
I have a question. How do you think the world will be better?
I don't know the answer, so I don't care.
For example, making everyone smile with a song.
A lot of people buy things and go to stores and change the economy.
Drink a lot of milk.
There are no schools these days, and milk consumption is...
I've heard of it.
I always think milk is left over at the supermarket, so I buy one milk a day.
I see.
You're getting taller, aren't you? The average height of Japanese people is also increasing, and Oishi-san is also happy, so let's go for a seat.
Oishi-san is happy, too.
Yuina, are you trying to drink it?
I don't like it very much, but I drink it because it's vinegar.
I'm not very good at raw food, so I drink it with vinegar.
It's not bad with vinegar.
I think it's a contribution.
I think it's very important.
What do you think, Suzu-san?
I don't think the economy is going well.
Going to a store and shopping is important, but when you don't have your own money,
I think about Japan.
Do you want me to issue you a little more money?
Oh, that's a difficult thing to say.
Do you want me to issue you a little more money?
Yes.
So I think that's a good idea.
I see. I see. I understand.
Well, with that in mind, I'd like to talk about money and economy today.
Yes.
I know you all love money, but...
We love it.
You love it, don't you?
Yes.
We love it.
So today, I'd like to talk about money in detail so much that you'll like it.
First of all, I'd like to talk about the history of money.
How many years ago do you think money was born?
Suzu-san.
But wasn't Koban also money?
That's right.
Then Meiji?
Meiji.
I see. I see.
Meiji era?
I was born in the Meiji era.
I see.
Yes.
Anyway, Koban was in the Edo era.
That's right. That's right.
I see.
When do you think it was, Yuina?
The first thing I can think of is the Japanese colonial era.
When was it?
I don't know.
The Japanese colonial era was...
When was it?
About 1,000 years ago.
About 600 years ago.
That's right.
Then about 1,200 years ago.
I see.
Yes, roughly.
I don't know.
The Japanese colonial era was in 708.
I see.
I don't know. Money?
Money?
500 years.
500 years?
I don't know.
500 years?
Yes.
The first concept of money was created about 4,500 years ago.
4,500 years ago is a long time ago.
People have existed for 100,000 years.
Really?
I don't know.
The unit is too great.
Humans evolved and lived without money for tens of thousands of years.
Do you know how people exchanged money during that period of time?
Exchange goods?
What did you say, Mari-chan?
Exchange goods?
Yes, you are right.
People exchanged goods during that period of time.
For example, if you brought a fish, you had to exchange it with someone who had a wheat.
It was very difficult.
Wow.
If you couldn't find it, you would waste what you had.
It took a lot of effort.
A wise man in ancient times decided what would replace things and used it as a tool of exchange.
Wise man.
He is a genius.
He decided units.
For example, wheat or corn.
For example, two shells for fish and one shell for wood.
Then you can store shells and it's very convenient.
At that time, things were exchanged from things to things about 4,500 years ago.
That's the first concept of money.
Wow, you're smart.
That's right, so it's quite troublesome to trade.
By the way, China exchanged with shells, and there are some kanjis that you can tell that they were exchanging with shells.
What do you mean?
Kanjis that you can tell that they were exchanging with shells.
That's right, there are many kanjis that are connected.
Are there many shells in it?
That's right, there are quite a lot of shells in it.
Do you know what "kai" means?
"kai"?
"kai" is "daisen" in Japanese.
No, it's not.
What does "kai" mean?
Well, in that order, it's around here.
"dai" and "kakeru" all have "kai" in them because they were trading with shells in the past.
Wow, I didn't know that.
Wow.
That's right.
So, if you know this, you'll be able to understand it even if you can't read it.
It's not about money or anything like that.
That's right, I think so.
But even if you exchange it like that, there are disadvantages.
First of all, what do you think it is, Yuina?
Disadvantages?
Yes.
The difference in wealth is born.
The difference in wealth is born. I see.
Oh, that's right!
The difference is born depending on the day.
Hmm, I see.
Sometimes you can get it and sometimes you can't get it.
Hmm.
Things and things like that.
Hmm.
The difference is born.
Hmm.
I can only think of this.
Hmm.
Do you think of any disadvantages, Suzu-san?
Hmm, I wonder what it is.
Hmm, but...
Like, fake things are made.
Hmm, that's right.
If it's a shell or something like that, you can pick it up and bring it here.
Hmm.
It increases and decreases.
After all...
Hmm.
I don't like people who are far from the sea.
I see.
Hmm.
Certainly, people who are far from the sea don't have shells.
Hmm.
But those people don't have shells.
They exchange it for other things.
Oh, I see.
Hmm.
But if you exchange it for such things, first of all, it is inconvenient to carry around.
As Yui said earlier, there is a difference in quality.
Hmm.
Even if you exchange it for shells, it's different.
Hmm.
So it's quite complicated.
Also, it's a little annoying to be able to pick it up and bring it here.
That's where coins were born.
Oh, finally.
The oldest record for coins is 45 million...
No, I made a mistake.
It's 45 million years ago.
It's about the same time.
The coins made in Athens are widely distributed, and the reason why the coins have spread is that other countries have devised a way of making coins, but do you think it's a devise?
Devise?
If I say it now, it's obvious.
Athens is a country, isn't it?
It's a country.
I'm sorry.
If I say it now, it's obvious.
Is there a hole in it?
Did you make a hole in it?
Yes, I made a hole in it.
In the sense of putting an end to it, Athens was rebellious.
They used silver, but you can't tell at first glance, but quality and silver are good.
Athens rebelled against the coins issued and said, "This coin will be guaranteed." So everyone started to trust and use it.
But even if you make coins like that, you will gradually reach your limit.
Why?
Why do you think so?
Why?
Why do you think so?
It's difficult.
Silver is limited in number now, so it's getting harder and harder to make.
So there is a limit to the amount of silver, and someone will think of it.
Isn't it good with paper?
I see, I see.
And so, the currency was born.
I see.
People of the past were amazing.
Clever.
It's easy to understand.
Oh, that's good.
The currency was made, but in Japan, the first coin was made.
The first coin is the Japanese currency, as Yuina said earlier.
Speaking of money, it's been around for a long time.
By the way, do you think which country made the first currency in the world?
I don't know.
But...
Yuina, where do you think?
America.
I have the image that America is the most economic country.
Yes, America.
Yes, I see.
In fact, the first country to make a real currency was China.
Really?
In the first place, you need paper and printing technology to make coins.
This paper and printing technology were invented in China.
The first currency was also made in China.
That's how it was.
It was amazing.
Money.
Money has changed a lot.
You often hear the word "cashless" these days, right?
Oh, I've heard of it.
Money will disappear from now on.
It may disappear.
It may only be data.
Oh, that's right.
It's sad for people who collect commemorative coins and so on.
That's right. But on the contrary, if you don't have that money, the value will also increase.
Oh, that's right.
It may be possible.
Let's collect commemorative coins while we can.
That's right. If you leave it alone, it may one day become insanely rare.
It's going to evolve more and more now.
What do you think is the merit of money being born?
What do you think is good about money, Suzu-san?
I can buy anything.
You can buy anything.
I can buy anything.
If you have money, you can trade smoothly, right?
Yes, you can do anything.
What do you think Marilyn has?
What?
Let's work hard for money.
Oh, I see.
That's right.
It makes you feel like you're working, doesn't it?
It makes me feel like I'm working.
Then I'm looking down and thinking about it.
But you used to say the difference in quality in the past, didn't you?
Yes.
The value of money has become one.
Yes.
Conflicts have decreased.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That's right.
There are many merits.
As Suzu-san said, you can trade with money.
Time is born.
You don't have to look for people who work hard to find what you want and trade it for you.
Time is born and you can do whatever you want at that time.
You can develop various things and make progress.
I see.
There is such a thing as whether you can buy money in time.
Is it sweet?
Can you do such a thing?
I'm sorry.
My heart stopped for a moment.
May I check your wallet for a moment?
I'm sorry.
Is it about money management?
You sound like an English teacher.
You can make money and communicate with money.
For example, you don't know English if you go to America.
But you can communicate with money in America if you pay in dollars.
So you can make money and communicate with money even if you don't know words.
I see.
It's easier to make a deal.
Yes, it's easier to make a deal.
For example, let's say black beef was sold for one yen.
Do you buy it?
I do.
Do you buy it?
I don't buy it.
But...
Isn't it suspicious?
It's suspicious.
If black beef was sold for one yen in a supermarket, I don't think it's really black beef.
That's true.
Everyone was eating it.
I thought it was black beef for one yen.
Osaka people...
Kansai people are coming out.
Even if it's a little cheap...
I'm sorry.
My eyes are shining.
But...
Even if you buy it, you can make money and trust it.
I think we can do that.
Yeah...
Yeah, so...
With money, people will be able to communicate.
Society will progress.
That's what it was about.
Progress, progress.
I see.
Progress.
Wow.
It's very easy to understand.
Oh, really? Thank you very much.
Yes.
Well...
Even in the comments...
It's like Kansai people.
Kansai people...
If it's 1 yen, I'll buy it.
Huh? Will you buy it?
Will you buy it?
No, but it's suspicious.
If it's really there, you might be suspicious.
1 yen...
If it's 2,000 yen or something, you might be a little surprised.
That's true.
1 yen is amazing...
2 yen...
1 yen is amazing...
1 yen...
Isn't it scary?
It's scary.
It's not just expensive.
It's scary.
Well...
I talked about the history of money.
Is everyone okay?
Do you have any questions?
It's too easy to understand.
Well...
I haven't said anything difficult yet.
But I think you've understood the history.
I'd like to go closer to everyday life.
Yes, please.
Doesn't everything have a price?
Even if it's only 1 yen now...
How do you decide that?
Huh? It's heavy!
Yes.
Yes, Suzu-san.
Is it?
Can you get the origin of that thing?
The person who made it...
Can you get the origin of the thing you made with the money you spent on it?
Hmm...
So you think about the cost and decide, right?
Yes.
I see. You're sharp.
- You're sharp. - What about you, Mariko-san?
Well, I'm like you.
I try to get the origin of something
rather than the limit.
Hmm...
The person who made it decides it.
I guess.
What about you, Yuina?
Huh?!
Hmm...
You're right, but...
If you can't get the origin, you can't do it, right?
- I see. - Is it decided by the percentage of the origin?
- I see. - Can you decide it by making it?
- Yes. - Is there a basis for that?
In that way...
If it's cheaper than the original cost,
you can't sell it,
so you think about selling it.
It's important to sell it because it's expensive,
but you have to buy it at a reasonable price
for it to be sold.
- That's... - Oh, you're sharp.
- You're sharp! - You're sharp!
X-direction!
Suzu-san, have you ever heard of it?
No.
- No. - Suzu-san, you're laughing!
Didn't you see it in "Seishito Keisai"?
- I did! - I'm sure you all learned it.
Demand and supply.
For example, demand...
You're laughing a lot!
I'm sorry.
Yes.
If you think about it in terms of fish,
if there are more people who want to eat fish,
people who want to sell it will sell it at a higher price.
There are a lot of people who want to buy it,
so even if you raise it a little,
people will buy it.
But even if there aren't as many people who want to eat fish,
if the amount of fish decreases...
If you try to buy a little amount of fish, the price goes up again.
On the contrary, if you catch too much fish or there aren't people who want to eat fish, the price will go down.
Demand is a feeling of wanting to buy and supply is a feeling of wanting to sell.
As Yuina said earlier, there is a curve between demand and supply.
It's hard to see, but this is the supply curve and this is the demand curve.
I'm sure Suzu-san is also looking at it in textbooks.
I may have closed my eyes for a moment.
I remember seeing it.
Is that so? That's good.
Yes.
This is it.
If the supply is higher in number, the price will also increase.
Those who sell want to sell more expensively, of course.
Yes.
And those who buy want to buy cheaper and more, so it becomes like this.
Yes.
I see.
After this battle of those who want to sell more expensively and those who want to buy cheaper vs. those who want to buy more,
you can make a balance in a good place.
This is how we decide the price of what we sell.
Hmm.
We compromise with each other.
Hmm.
It's like a win-win score.
Can you do it, Suzu-san?
Yes, I can do it.
Really?
I don't think it's a good idea.
We were both kind to each other.
Yes.
These days, everyone wants masks a lot, but masks are not sold much and supply is low.
That's why the price goes up.
It's expensive.
There are a lot of people who want to buy it.
But if you don't need a mask so much, you can buy it cheaply and there are many of them.
Even if you don't have a mask, it's safe to lose demand and supply gaps, so you can distribute masks.
I see.
Wow!
That's right.
I feel like the economy is going around.
Yes, it's going around.
I mentioned demand and supply gaps briefly, but is it okay?
Yes.
Let's talk about infle and defle.
Have you heard of it?
I don't know it at all.
Have you heard of it, Suzu-san?
Infle...
No, it's not.
It's "infle".
It's "infle" and "defle".
It's "inflation" and "deflation".
First of all, let's say you were selling a mask for 100 yen per sheet.
If you want it, you won't have enough masks, right?
Then you don't have many masks and you can sell them, and you can sell a mask for 200 yen per sheet.
This one.
This is called inflation. In other words, the price goes up.
It's like the value of things goes up.
That's right. Inflation is when the value of things goes up.
I see.
On the other hand, do you know what deflation is like?
Yes.
Is it okay for me to say it?
Isn't it the opposite of that?
Does it make things cheaper?
That's right.
On the other hand, deflation is when people who want things decrease and demand decreases, and things don't sell.
In order for things to sell at any price, prices are lowered and bought. As a result, the value of things decreases and deflation occurs.
I see.
It's not difficult at all, but do you know when this inflation happens?
It depends on when it happens, but when people buy things, it's easy for inflation to happen.
On the other hand, deflation occurs when things don't sell and things don't sell well.
However, there are cases when things don't sell well but prices go up and inflation occurs.
It's called "mastagflation", but I don't want you to know it, so I'll leave it at that.
That's amazing.
It's amazing that you can read katakana.
I feel like I'm getting smarter now.
I'm getting smarter.
You did it.
I did it.
That's amazing.
By the way, which do you think will happen a few months from now?
I don't have an answer for this question anymore, so it's either or.
Which do you think, Mari-chan?
It's a little difficult, but I think it's either or.
I feel like I'm getting worse.
What do you think, Su-san?
I also think it's either or.
I agree.
I think we're all going to put up with life.
What do you think, Yui-nan?
I think it's an inflection.
No one will get angry.
I'm putting up with life, but there aren't many people who work like me.
I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I work more and more.
That's true. If everything is released and back to normal, that's what you're saying.
Both are correct, but...
For example, you mentioned deflation.
If companies go bankrupt or people lose their jobs during this period of time, people won't spend money.
Then the situation will get worse and a deflation will occur.
On the contrary, as Yui-nan said, people will be able to go out and work normally.
There are probably a lot of places you want to go and play now, but for example, there is also the idea that if everyone goes out at once, the situation will improve.
Oh, that's right!
Wow!
That's right!
What kind of movement is this?
That's amazing!
I can see both of my feelings now.
I can think of both, but it's not like that anymore.
For example, do you know that this time it was a problem that most of the masks were depended on imports?
I often do it in the news, but it's a problem that what's being imported isn't coming in now.
Because of this, companies are trying to look back because it's not good to rely only on imports.
For example, if you want to make goods in Japan, the human rights fees for goods made at cheap human rights fees abroad will increase, so you can think of the price of goods sold at cheap prices rising.
It's called inflation.
There are various cases, so I can't say anything about what will happen in the future.
That's right.
While thinking about various things.
It will get better and better.
That's right.
Sharp is making masks.
Oh! I saw it!
But aren't they more expensive than masks sold at 100 yen shops?
Hmm.
That's because it's made in Japan.
Oh, I see.
The difference in materials, human rights fees, and so on.
I don't know yet.
I hope it gets better.
That's right.
By the way, I've been saying "cake, cake" several times, but do you know what "cake" is in the first place?
I think you usually look at it casually, but do you know what "cake" is, Suzu-san?
I've never thought about it.
You don't usually think about it, do you?
I don't think about it.
But you're trying to get money, aren't you?
I think it's a coincidence.
I see. I see.
What do you think "cake" is?
I think it's a flow of money.
I don't know how it's used.
I can only catch up with you.
Most of you are almost correct. "Cake" is a word that represents the trend of the economy or the turnover of money, so it's almost correct.
If you have a raise or a bonus, you say "cake" is good, right?
If you have a raise or a bonus, you say "cake" is bad, right?
It's a personal story, but if you look at it as a company, if you have a raise in products, you say "cake" is good, and if you have a raise, you say "cake" is bad, right?
Do you know when "cake" is good in a country?
What is "country's income"?
"Country's income"?
We always pay for it.
What?
Taxes?
That's right.
If you think about "country's income",
if you have more taxes, you will have a better situation as a country, if you look at numbers.
I see.
But if the income of each citizen increases and the amount of taxes is reduced, the country will be richer.
For example, some people become very rich, but more than half of them lose their money.
But if you look at it as a whole, if you have more taxes, you will be told that it is better.
The amount is the same.
So it's hard to say for sure, but cakes change individually, so some people like cakes and some people don't.
Wow.
That's right. And "cake" contains the word "tree", but there is a word "cake" comes from "tree", and "cake" contains the word "tree" of "feeling", so there are people who say "tree" comes from "feeling", but "cake" also affects everyone's feelings.
What do you mean?
I'm sure you're wondering why.
I see.
When you see or think that cakes are bad news recently, don't you save money just in case?
I see.
If you save money, the consumption of money will decrease and the cake will be bad.
Oh, that's true.
On the contrary, if you think "oh, cakes are good recently, so let's play a lot" and the consumption increases, the cake will be better.
I see.
There is a saying like "cakes come and go", and it also affects our feelings.
Wow.
That's right.
Indeed.
In fact, there may be cases when cakes get worse because everyone thinks cakes are bad even though they are good.
Hmm.
Well, it's quite difficult, but in order to improve cakes, you have to spend money.
I think you said it in the beginning, but I think it's not wrong either.
Hmm.
Huh?
It's difficult.
Indeed.
That's right.
Recently, I don't spend money at all.
I'm worried about the future and I think cakes are bad for me now.
Hmm.
I think it's better to spend 100,000 yen now than later.
Oh, I said I would save money.
I see.
I have to save money.
Indeed.
Of course, saving money is important, but we live with our parents' money, so if we can afford it at all, we will spend it.
I think it's better to use it now.
Hmm.
It's difficult.
If you don't use it, you will definitely spend it.
That's right.
I see.
If you save too much money, cakes will get worse and you will save money again and again.
That's right.
So, I just said that recently, cakes are bad for me now, but this is also related to cakes.
Unemployment rate.
Oh!
A few days ago, a news said that the number of unemployed people is increasing a lot.
Has anyone seen it?
I'm sorry, but what is "unemployment"?
Unemployment is, as the name suggests, losing your job.
Oh, I see.
As I thought.
I'm sorry.
As I thought.
Unemployment is not a job at all.
Mari-chan, have you seen the news?
Yes, but now...
That's right.
Even now, people don't give you money.
I think I've seen businesses and things like that lose their jobs.
Yes, yes, yes.
After this coronavirus, there is also data showing that 1 million people will lose their jobs.
What?!
It's a pretty big problem right now.
Everyone, it seems like you're shocked.
What?!
For the time being... Huh? I said "news", but...
No, I'm sorry.
No, no, not at all.
This unemployment rate is announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare every month.
This number is said to be much lower than the actual number.
The reason why it's low is because...
How do you think the unemployment rate is calculated?
It's okay to imagine it, but Yuina, what do you think?
How do you calculate it?
The company applies to the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
How many people have graduated this year?
This month...
That's right.
What do you think, Shizu-san?
I have no idea at all.
They come to see me, one by one.
How is it now?
It's very stressful.
I see.
It's very busy in the red month.
I don't know.
What do you think, Marilyn?
I don't know. I say I'm new to Russian and get data from there.
I see.
How do you calculate this unemployment rate?
I do survey about 100,000 people every month.
You may be the closest.
I bring documents like envelopes.
Really?
Out of 100,000 people,
over 15-year-olds are classified as laborers and non-laborers.
"Non-laborers" are people who actually want to work.
"Non-laborers" are students, elderly people, housewives, people who can't work or don't want to work.
"Non-laborers" are people who work and people who don't work.
It's complicated and not well-known.
"Non-laborers" are classified in detail.
"Non-laborers" don't become "non-laborers" if they work for at least one hour last week of the previous month.
What?
I think it's complicated.
Let's say you came for survey today.
Between April 24th and April 30th,
if you work even for an hour, even if you don't have a job now, you won't be a jobless person.
What?
Oh, I see.
Yes.
I think there are some people who lost their jobs and are looking for a job and are working part- time for the time being,
but such people are not included in the jobless.
What?
I see.
I didn't know that.
Yes.
So, it is said that the unemployment rate will be much lower than the actual number.
What?
What does it mean?
I don't like it.
Yes.
So...
What?
Yes.
A job...
What?
I think there are quite a few people who work only for an hour a week for a month.
It's a difficult time.
Yes.
Oh, I see.
It's really hard.
It's really selfish.
By the way, it is said that if the number of men increases, the number of women increases as well.
Why do you think so?
There is data that once the unemployment rate increases, it accelerates more and more.
What?
Why?
What do you think, Shusei?
Because I'm married?
Yes.
I see.
What?
I don't know.
This is a very good answer.
Oh, is it?
Yes.
So...
For example, if your father supports the family,
when your father graduates, your mother, who was a housewife, will also start looking for a part-time job, won't she?
Yes.
At this point...
Because there is a risk of working, you become unemployed. Your mother, too.
From a housewife. And when you start looking for a child, that child also becomes unemployed and is included in this data.
Oh, it's included.
It's deep.
Wow!
That's right.
There was such a mechanism for unemployment rate.
Wow!
I didn't know that at all.
It's strange.
That's right. So, in the news, there may be something like "what is the unemployment rate from now on?"
In fact, even if you think it may be more than that number, I think it will change completely.
If you see it in the news, please pay attention.
Yes.
I thought you were young.
I'm not young, but I'm not wrong.
Yes.
Well, you studied money and economics, but are you okay? Isn't your head messed up?
No, but I did a lot of things I didn't know, so even in the comments, the composition of the story is amazing.
Oh, thank you.
Abesoichi.
Wow!
I didn't know that at all.
No way!
I didn't know that at all.
But did you study?
Yes, I did.
You're too smart.
No, I'm not that smart.
I don't know why, but my glasses overlap.
If you wear glasses, you look smart.
You can be a teacher of political economy.
It's easy to understand.
But school classes are about one hour long.
This class was also about one hour long, but I had a lot of fun listening.
I think I'll be smarter with this system.
I agree.
But you have to be a small number of people to ask questions.
I think it's a little difficult at school.
That's amazing.
I think it's amazing even for a young person's name.
I don't know how to explain it.
Please put it in one corner of your head.
Do you remember what I asked you at the beginning of today about how you can make the world a better place?
Yes.
It has a meaning.
There is data that if you think about what you are doing now and how it will help society, your motivation will increase.
I don't know what you mean.
For example, there is a research result.
What do you think will make the world a better place?
There is research data that says that the time of test study has doubled.
There is such a thing.
Why are you studying or doing this job?
I'd like you to think about what role it will play in society while you sleep, so I asked you first.
Oh, it's a matter of final feelings, isn't it?
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
Shizu, what did you do?
Are you impressed?
That's amazing!
For example, I think you're told to stay at home now, but it's not just because you're told to do it.
If you think about why you have to stay at home or how it will affect society by being at home, you'll feel like you're a little more at home and your motivation will go up.
Are you impressed?
That's amazing!
But Shizu and Yuina, every day...
That's right.
I've been looking up for about five years.
I'm 18 years old.
That's amazing!
I thought every action had meaning.
That's right.
At first, I thought it would be good for society if everyone spent a lot of money.
Why does spending a lot of money make society better?
If you spend a lot of money, companies will make more money and society will get better.
What will get better?
Cake!
Yes, cake!
Even if you think it's better to spend money because the economy will improve...
Yeah, if you're conscious of it, it might be better.
Yeah, it's scary.
Yeah, it's scary to study.
Yeah.
By the way, even if you save money, you can also invest.
I don't think many young people invest in Japan, but many companies do.
In Japan, the investment rate is very low.
Oh, really?
People don't invest because they save money and the world doesn't improve much because they save money.
So it's very important to study and invest in Japan.
Yeah, I don't know anything about stocks.
I don't know.
I don't know stocks.
I only know stocks of animals.
Really?
She said it.
Yeah.
Which countries invest a lot in Japan?
Investments?
Yeah, but America and Western countries have studied money as a school education since they were young.
In Japan, there is a time for morality and generalization, but in generalization, money is included in compulsory education.
Really?
Yeah.
Because we have a tendency of saying dirty things about money, we don't talk about money at school.
I think I learned about demand and supply, but I think it went pretty smoothly.
Oh, that's right.
Kojirin-san, you were also doing something in Finland, right? Like a child running a company.
I learned something in elementary school in Finland, and in Japan, we actually have a lot of money.
For example, did you get allowance?
Yes, we did.
For example, if a Japanese child gets 500 yen a month, I think they do a lot of things in that 500 yen,
but overseas, I think they give a lot of presents for Christmas without buying presents on a daily basis, or I think I've seen it in a movie.
It seems that there is not much financial system overseas, so I think Japan is also learning about money.
It depends on the country, how you use it and how you think about it.
If Japan took in a little more business, it might change.
I think it would be interesting if we studied more about money.
That's true.
Wow, that's amazing.
It's difficult.
It's difficult. It's difficult, isn't it?
There is no right or wrong.
There isn't.
There is no right or wrong country.
That's right.
There are also disadvantages of inflation.
That's right.
Inflation happens too much and inflation happens when the situation is good, but...
Countries that went public because they were impressed too much or prices of goods went up too much to make tens of billions of yen bills...
What?!
That's crazy!
It's a bill like "omamakoto" but...
Like "simbabuedol" or "hungary"
It's like "k" "nan" "nan" "k"
What?! I want to exchange that money for Japanese yen!
It's bad if inflation happens too much and prices of goods go up too much when the situation is good, but...
Did you understand about money today?
Yes, I did!
That's great!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much, Pon-sensei!
Thank you very much!
In order to maintain motivation, it's important to think about how your daily actions are useful for society, and it's also important to live while thinking about it.
I think it would be more fun for fans to watch videos of idols who are not good at studying even though they are supporting idols as a hobby.
I think it's a great demand for idol fans who are not good at studying.
If you look at your favorite idol for an hour, you'll get smarter!
It was a great meeting!
That's right!
"It was a divine meeting!" There are comments like that!
Thank you very much!
Hinacho taught me how to study at Hinacho's school yesterday, but I'm in charge of society and I'm going to improve my energy and brain.
I'm counting on you, teacher!
But Marilyn and Yuina are really smart people.
There were a lot of things I didn't know.
Thank you very much!
I look forward to working with you again next time!
Thank you very much!
