[Takashi Hiratsuka] I call him Sensei. This is because he graduated from the architecture department of a university and holds qualifications such as architect and carpenter. So CAD drawings are a piece of cake. He also has extensive work experience, including as a construction site supervisor and furniture craftsman. 30 years old, from Miyazaki Prefecture. He is the eldest son sandwiched between two sisters, and says that all of his horns and fangs were cut off during his childhood, but he hates to lose and has a strong will and determination. People who are too proud are the type who don't get caught up in anything, but if they don't have any pride, then there are also many who lack willpower and guts. In Sensei's case, I think it was just his silly pride that was cut just right. She came for an interview in December 2014, but I had completely forgotten about it and had already booked a year-end party. The year-end party quickly became the venue for the interview. At a lively year-end party with about 40 people, Sensei was seated at a table with beautiful women, including Miss Nihonbashi. "Please take care of the rest~" I left him and quickly went to another table. A few hours later "We'll definitely hire you," they said. "OK! Then I'll hire you!" This decides it. It may seem haphazard, but in the end it turned out to be a really good interview. Social adaptation when sitting down with strangers for the first time. Go with the flow. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I think this is the first thing working adults should do. There's no way someone who can't even do that can be properly pointed. This is because the necessary skills are provided by the environment and people you create. Breaking the rules is only possible because there is a rule. When there is no kata, it is called kata-nashi. Being outrageous only has to do with one thing: "This is the only thing!" In other words, there are very few people who have that one quality, so most people don't need to become like that. So the best thing to do is to just go along with it and adapt until you find that one point. If it's pointy for no reason, it will look like a hedgehog, which is unrefined and unsightly. Well, that was me a while ago...lol I've gotten off topic, but anyway, Sensei is an essential person for KOMA in every way. First of all, you need the skills you already have, such as drawing drawings and understanding structures. This will free up Kamei and me from many of our responsibilities and allow us to take on new challenges. His bright and gentle personality makes him a good mood maker for the whole group. His work experience will bring many improvements to KOMA, which is still a fledgling company. Furthermore, he embodies what is expected of a working adult for the KOMA members, none of whom have any proper work experience. The other day, I was feeling unwell and thought about this. You never know what will happen to a person. The doctor asked me what happened and I looked like a wreck. I was surprised because I thought his only good points were his health and strength. I might get into an accident on my way home today, or I might suffer from a serious illness. There's no point in living your life thinking about such things, but the possibility is not zero. And no matter what happens, you have to live your life. But I'm not anxious. I know they will support me no matter what, and I know I have friends who want to support me too. As long as I have friends, I'll be fine. It'll work out somehow. They'll do something about it. The most irreplaceable thing is friends. I think we are a group that has come together to survive in society. 50% of companies go bankrupt within the first year of opening. It is said that only 5% will survive for 10 years. In order to survive in the fierce competition for existence, members of the group fulfill their roles and take responsibility to support each other. This is my friend. Although we have only been together for a year, Sensei is an irreplaceable friend whom I can trust completely. The story with him is still to be created. There are people who have become attached to him and say things like, "I want to live with you, Hiratsuka-san." This is Sato Ryu, who just turned 19 years old. I call him "Sensei", ("Teacher" in English). He graduated from the department of architecture of an university and holds the license of the qualified architect and the qualified engineer for machinery and woodwork. He is easily operating Computer Aided Design. He has a lots of professional experiences including field superintendent and craftsman for furniture. He is 30 years coming form Miyazaki prefecture. He is first boy the eldest son between 2 sisters, thus, according to him, whose every single mental corner and fang was rounded off when he was child. From me, he hates losing and has guts. Those who are proud of themselves without good reasons are absolutely helpless, while, those who are not proud of themselves would tend to have neither backbone nor guts. In case of Sensei, unnecessary pride are appropriately removed. His interview was scheduled in December 2014, which I completely forgot and scheduled a year end party. Then, his interview was held at the year end party. It was big one for about 40 people and I asked him to sit on the table where pretty women including Miss Nishon-bashi sat. "Please take care of him." I asked them and went to other tables. Several hours later, They commented me "He must be absolutely hired" ~ ". "OK! I will hire him!" The offer to him was decided as such. You may think this as irresponsible, however, the interview was indeed good one. The social adjustability to people met for the first time are assessed. If you cannot beat them, join them. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It is the first step as a working adult. Those, who cannot conduct these kinds of things, cannot be edgy. Because it would be product of fundamentals one has structured and people. Unconventionality exists in condition of the conventionality. No style would be identical to losing of face. Being edgy would be better to be limited to only one point where one cannot compromise. In other words, given ones who have something deserve being edgy would be limited, most people cannot be justified to be edgy. It would be appropriate to adjust to others and to seek the one point. Those who are edgy without something to deserve appear to be hedgehog, which look embarrassing without class. Actually, that is what I was a while ago. lol. Returning to the topic, Sensei is indispensable person for KOMA from various points of view. First of all, his skills in drawing and structural understanding. With it, Kami and myself are relieved from many tasks, thus, are able to focus on new challenges. He would be good mood maker given his bright and peaceful personality. His professional experiences have brought many improvements to KOMA which is less experienced. He would be role model as a typical professional to other members of KOMA who have almost no professional experiences other than KOMA. I thought of followings the other day when my health was not in good shape. People cannot tell what will happen in the future. The doctor told me what have happened to you? Your health conditions are deteriorated. I was surprised to hear that given my perception that I have thought of my health toughness as my only strength. We may have an accident on the way to house and may be suffering from serious diseases. It would not make sense to worry about them too much, however, the possibility may not be zero. And, under any circumstances, we need to continue to make our lives. Actually, I do not worry about it. Because I have colleagues who I believe to support me in any cases and whom I would like to support if something happens to them. It would be overcome as long as I have them. I will work out for them. And they will make me to be fine. What are indispensable colleagues. We are one group to survive in the society. 50% of new companies go bankrupt in one year. The survival ratio for 10 years are said to be 5%. In order to survive in fierce competitions for existence, completing their roles performing their responsibilities to support others in the group. This is the colleague. Even spent only 1 year, Sensei is the fully credited indispensable member of KOMA. Our story with him will continue to be embroiled in the future. About him, there is one person who said, "I would like to live with Hiratsuka-san." Who is Ryu Sato who has become 19 years old recently.
