Ever study hard and still wonder why it feels empty? We dive into academic yarigai—the lived, situational meaning that makes learning feel worth doing—and map out nine practical factors that turn study from grind to growth. With Dr. Yu Kanazawa, associate professor at Osaka University, we explore how a refined approach, adapted from the Ikigai-9 scale, unites engagement, curiosity, flow, social contribution, and purpose into a single, usable framework.We walk through each factor—intrinsic fulfillment, curiosity and intellectual stimulation, personal growth, social contribution, engagement and flow, recognition and appreciation, overcoming challenges, real-world relevance, and a sense of purpose—and show how they interact. Rather than treating motivation as fuel you either have or lack, we focus on lived qualities you can cultivate from different starting points. Maybe you're not enjoying a subject yet, but you see its social value; maybe you love the topic but haven't tied it to real problems. Each factor is a gate into meaningful study, and you only need one to begin.Yu shares insights from his study with Japanese undergraduates and explains cultural nuances like utori—mental space that makes flow possible—and how cramming cultures can crowd out deep engagement. We also unpack why recognition is more than reward; it signals that your work matters to others, which stabilizes effort. For teachers, coaches, and learners, the nine-item scale becomes a reflective tool to diagnose strengths, spot thin areas, diversify sources of meaning, and reduce burnout. Language learning shines as a case study, linking curiosity, connection, and real-world use in a way that naturally builds yarigai.If you're ready to trade blunt motivation hacks for a humane, research-backed path to purposeful learning, this conversation offers a clear map you can use today. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a study reset, and leave a review telling us which “gate” you'll try first.

Japan is one of the few places in the world where the ancient and the ultra-modern don't just sit side by side – they actively reinforce each other. In this episode of Interlinks, I take you on a journey across central Japan to explore exactly that: how philosophy turns into behaviour, how culture becomes process, and how long-term strategy shows up in the tiny details of daily life and operations. What I've seen on the ground in Japan mirrors my own Macro to Micro concept – the idea that if you want world-class performance, you must be able to connect big-picture intent with frontline action in a clear, disciplined way.We'll move from Tokyo's systemised mega-city environment to the rituals of the onsen in Kawaguchiko, along the old Nakasendo samurai trail in the Kiso Valley, through industrial and historical hubs like Nagano, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Uji and Osaka. Along the way, I unpack how Shinto, Buddhism and Bushido still shape modern Japanese supply chains, manufacturing excellence, quality culture and infrastructure. From the Toyota Production System and Hoshin Kanri to supplier relationships and everyday etiquette, we'll look at how Japan has embedded its values into its economic and operational success – and what that means for leaders trying to navigate uncertainty in their own organisations.As you listen, I'd like you to ask yourself a simple question: what elements of this Japanese Macro to Micro story could you emulate in your own business – in how you set strategy, work with suppliers, design processes or build culture? If this episode sparks ideas about how to translate your own strategy into disciplined execution, I'd be delighted to talk. You can contact me on LinkedIn, or reach out directly by email at pdaly@albalogistics.com to explore how I can help you apply these principles in your context. Hosted on Acast.

Japan's political scene is changing—from new parties rising in visibility to historic moments in national leadership—so the Krewe is bringing you a timely crash course. Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do. We explore the major and emerging parties shaping the landscape, the issues driving debate today, and how international pressures and global events influence domestic policy. Tobias also sheds light on the media's role in shaping public perception and political accountability.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.
