Japan's newest occupation-renting out "doing nothing" yourself, with zero income and zero pressure?

Speaking of rental business in Japan, what can you think of?

As a "rental country", in Japan, you can not only rent things like houses and cars, but also rent JK, rent uncles, rent knees and sleep.

But even though there have been a lot of weird rental businesses so far, have you ever imagined that there will be such a day when there will be "people who do nothing" for rental?

The latest rental business in Japan, "レンタルなんもしない人 (renting a person who does nothing)" means that you can rent someone who does nothing.

Isn’t it weird why renting someone who doesn’t do anything is doing...then let me see what this kind of weird lease is like.

▎ Do nothing and charge money

Renting out a person who does nothing—Shoji Morimoto

to To say "レンタルなんもしない人 (a person who rents out nothing)", one has to say its founder, Shoji Morimoto.

Since June 2018, Morimoto has started renting himself as a "person who does nothing" on Twitter. Since then, Morimoto has received dozens of commissions every day. These commissions are similar to

"Go to a store that is difficult for one person to get in with the principal"

"Accompany the principal to a place that is easy to get lost"

"The client wants to divorce his spouse, and I hope someone can watch them divorce."

Although it looks no different from the ordinary "House of Everything" at first glance, Morimoto's "レンタルなんもしない人 (person who rents out nothing)" is really "Do nothing" and "Pay no money other than the tram fare and necessary head fees" , That is to say, this rental service is completely free, as for why not a dime is charged, because it is really just Standing by your side, nothing is done...

"それは、お金を払うことによって、依頼する人が入るのかのか防たたたたか防たたたかたたたか防たたたたたたた何かにお金を払うと、僕らはどうしてもそれに見合ったリターンをexpectしてしまいますよね。 1000円なら1000円の価値を求めるし、なんならもっと得したくなる。お金を受けとる边も、少ない时间や労力で済ませたほうが割りに合うと、セコいことを考えてしまままままう"

"If there is a paid service, the client will have a "consumer concept", and as long as the payment is paid, it will seek the equivalent value. If you pay 1,000 yen, you will find the value equivalent to 1,000 yen, and the party who receives the money also has to pay 1,000 yen worth of labor and time for balance, and therefore becomes very carefree.”

森本如是Said.

Morimoto

who went to various places to accept the "entrustment" And because it is a free service, Morimoto has been constantly consuming his savings. One day, Morimoto, who is 35 years old this year, is also married and has a 1-year-old child. He has been criticized since he started doing this business. Then why does he not work normally and do such a thing?

According to Morimoto, "Because it is a service that does not charge money, so I can do nothing "with all my strength".

Because I did not collect money, there will be no mistakes. What annoys the other party, or violates the other's expectations, and similar things happen.

Although in our impression, most Japanese people have the character that they don’t want to trouble others, but the reason why MoritaI can do it so "thoroughly", according to me, it is because of "これまでの人生で僕は、"なんかする"ことで相手を disappointmentさせることばかりしてききうか思うきか思うかううかううかうかかかうかううか (I have let others down countless times in my life so far)"

▎It is said that he was once a "high-quality student" who had difficulty cooperating with others ?

Morimoto’s Twitter homepage

Although he is now doing this "do nothing" business, in fact Morimoto of the student generation is very good The students of, can be ranked among the best in all grades, but he has a characteristic-"difficult to cooperate with people around", so that the school teachers repeatedly criticized "世の中で生きていくには、集団の中" for generations.で自分は何ができるかを见つけて动いたり、何をしたらいいかを誰誰かに闻ける要ことがと切や英文ことろ588、Mathematics ることがと切や英文ことる05 What you can do and ask others what you should do is more important than a good score in mathematics English.)

That is to say, Morimoto is the typical type Although the ability is outstanding, there is no way. The type of person who communicates and cooperates with others . Although such people are not uncommon, in Japanese society where group collaboration is important, such people are very difficult to survive...

Morimoto studied physics at university, I conducted research on earthquake prediction at the graduate school. I could have stayed at the university to do research, but because I think there are more talented people than myself, I didn't choose this path.

After deciding to take up the job, the most troublesome thing for him is to show his strengths, because it is a very unpleasant thing for him to use his mouth to explain his good side. After finally choosing to work in the publishing house that compiled the textbooks, it was only silent work, but was often reminded by the boss "Pay attention to teamwork!"

Although I am also cheering in my own way, but always I was scolded. Although I always tried hard to be "down-to-earth", but I didn't have the ability to work for a long time, and the result was only to add chaos to the surroundings.

That means Morimoto cannot integrate into the group and cannot find his place in the group.

And what he finally found is the lifestyle of "レンタルなんもしない people (people who rent out nothing)".

▎ Pay more attention to the right to survival than the "Three National Obligations"

has labor, education, TaxationThese three so-called three major national obligations. But in Morimoto's view, these so-called three major obligations are not something that must be observed. Compared with the three major obligations, "Living Right" that can live a normal life for any kind of person is the most important. Even if there is no way to become a person who has made a major contribution to society, he can survive in the world without being oppressed, and everyone can live happily. In Morimoto's view, such a society is an ideal society.

Rather than shouting "what can I do", Morimoto put on an attitude of "I can't do anything, so what?"

In fact, about a year after quitting his job to start this business, the pressure and unbearable feeling that Morimoto had felt in school and workplace gradually disappeared. The state of "vacuum" spent happy days.

▎ is called "the existence of pure white"

Since the start of the business for more than a year, more and more people have put forward commissions to the "people who do nothing" Morimoto, such as

"Hope to watch me practice guitar"

"If no one is here, I don't want to clean up the house, so please come to my house once."

Various commissions even filled Morimoto's schedule.

Morimoto

who is being commissioned, and people who actually "employed" Morimoto also left comments such as the following.

"re nn ta ru san ga present when ni na ni mo shi nai, fu ra ッ Suites で really っ presence da kara ko そ white na, according Dependent suru al ta ち the の side ga Yori enantiomers shi illustrating Connecticut DomNode- ru と い u ko と mo thou ru の kana と Si i ma si" (he really just beside Do nothing, just like a peaceful, pure white existence. With him by his side, it seems to be able to reflect the inner face of the client.)

「どんな感じになるのか、想像がつかないところも楽しみにしていたんですが、予想上に良かったです!" (What will it be like to be together? I am looking forward to this, and in fact it is more interesting than expected.)

Although he became famous by this, Morimoto is obsessed with "borrowing himself" and basically does not do housework or bring children, and once spoke like this in a program.

For this reason, many people criticized him.

(I watched this person’s TV show, since I have married and have children, although I can live like this now, what will happen in the future? What? Although this may just be me nosy. If I am still young, if I still want to do something in the future, it would be nice to have such experience, but if I were this man’s wife, I can’t stand it)

(Although it is a business of other people's home, but if you only give out sperm and do nothing, at least pay.)

(Isn’t this just about having children after getting married, but I don’t want to do anything willful.)

(Although I did it’ The image of a person with no desires, but in fact, he was full of desires to compare Jobs and escaped from the family. It is better not to report on this kind of guy.)

(Although there are many people who feel saved because of you, it is better not to get married and do it alone. Although I don’t know what your wife thinks, I I really feel sorry for your wife and children.)

But of course there are people who are sure of his approach:

(Although he gave up the family on the one hand, But on the other hand, it has also created new values ​​and saved many people. This needs to be viewed separately, and there are no purely good and evil characters in roles that are not children’s animation.)

Then, uphold the "right to survive" "Is what Morimoto of Daqi really does is an act of creating new values? Or is it just fooling around?

What do you think about this, please leave a message to tell everyone.
