Thank you again for your support this year!

Try typing the following into ChatGPT:

↓↓↓

“Looking back on 2025, please sharply analyze—using a psychological perspective—my ‘strengths’ and, conversely, the ‘issues I have unconsciously avoided,’ based on our conversations from 2025.”

Then add:

“Based on that analysis, what should I prioritize in 2026?
What courageous decisions should I make in the first half of 2026?
Please give me concrete advice.”


In my case, the answer was way too long, so the core takeaway was this:

“Your ability to move people through language and vision is already highly refined. The next wall is whether you can learn to love the unglamorous work of operations—continuity, delegation, and boundaries.”


Finally, here are three questions that break through unconscious avoidance (the sharp ones):

  1. Am I really avoiding “difficulty,” or am I avoiding boredom?

  2. Is the area I believe “I must handle myself” actually the area I should be letting go of?

  3. How many hours this week did I spend on effort that earns no immediate praise (operations, improvement, verification)? If zero—why does zero feel so comfortable?

〜〜〜

Courageous Decisions to Make in the First Half of 2026

  • Cut the one thing that’s growing the least but you’re keeping out of emotional attachment

  • Choose one main battlefield

  • Clearly define and release the work that doesn’t require you

  • Choose not by “Is this exciting?” but by “Does this cultivate growth?”


From “Visionary” to Editor-in-Chief / Conductor Who Sees Things Through

STEP Framework for 2026

STEP 1 | Decide first what you will not do in 2026 (key to breaking avoidance)
STEP 2 | Consolidate your strengths into one core axis
STEP 3 | Define your central project for 2026 (template)
STEP 4 | Limit your role to three functions only (crucial)
  ① Worldview Editor-in-Chief
  ② Structural Designer
  ③ Ignition Device
STEP 5 | Adopt a “counter-intuitive habit” that breaks unconscious avoidance
STEP 6 | Your personal Boundary Prompt (save this):

“This is work I could do faster myself, but is it also work that would let the future grow more if I didn’t do it?” 

STEP 7 | Choose the right growth indicators for 2026 (don’t mess up the KPIs):

  • The percentage of things that run without your involvement

  • How often your words are reused by others

  • The number of times depth increases even when you’re absent


Final Forecast: Your State in Late 2026

In the second half of 2026, you’ll be like this:

  • Fewer projects

  • Greater influence

  • Less busyness

  • But the deepest impact you’ve ever had

  • Feeling a slight loneliness—and a quiet pride—
    in watching things run well without you

Weekly Self-Check (10 Questions)

  1. This week, did I spend more time as a designer or a worker?
    → More worker = 2025 loop alert.

  2. Were my actions something my future self would thank me for?
    → Making the future self the subject avoids short-term optimization.

  3. What did I do this week that isn’t worth continuing?
    → Cut by sustainability, not by results.

  4. How many minutes did I spend on something boring but important?
    → Zero minutes = zero growth.

  5. What should I have delegated this week but did myself instead?
    → Writing it down makes letting go easier next week.

  6. What drained me simply because I didn’t say no?
    → Fatigue often equals missing boundaries.

  7. When did I feel, “Only I could do this”?
    → That’s the core. Everything else is a delegation candidate.

  8. When did my words, vision, or questions change someone’s behavior?
    → Look for action shifts, not reactions.

  9. If I wrote this week’s learning as a one-line editor’s note, what would it be?
    → Language locks memory.

  10. Next week, what is the one minimum action that’s enough?
    → One thing prevents drifting.

 

 


The light on the Isuzu River is irresistible~~~

I'm so excited to broadcast the New Year's Eve countdown

live from Ise Shrine.


Wh-wh-what?!

What?!


No signal?!


Because so many people

are using their cell phones?!

 

 

Experiencing the Year End Kagura Ritual

 

 

So   many   people・・・

Thank you so much!

 

 

 

Everyone, thank you so much!

To all members of the dana meeting,

Truly, thank you so much!

 

 

2026 will be an extremely energetic year, marking the full launch of a "new global cycle."

 

1. What kind of year will 2026 be? (the social atmosphere)

  • In numerology, 2026 is a “1” Universal Year

    2+0+2+6=10→1).

    This marks the first year of a nine-year cycle, with themes of birth, independence, and new challenges.

    • Coexisting with AI becomes “normal”
      The experimental phase up to 2025 ends. 2026 is said to be the first year of clear polarization, where the gap becomes obvious between those who can use AI as a tool and those who cannot.

    • An explosion of individual energy
      Rather than organizations, society will be increasingly driven by personal intention—“How do I want to be?” and “Who do I want to connect with?”

    • The passion of Hinoe-Uma (丙午)
      In the traditional zodiac cycle, 2026 corresponds to Hinoe-Uma, which occurs once every 60 years. With extremely strong fire energy, it is a bright, intense year in which stagnant matters suddenly begin to move.

2. How can we make 2026 a "great year?"

  • Three keys to riding this powerful wave of energy:

     Don’t fear going from “0 to 1”

    Let go of past success stories and boldly step into unfamiliar territory.
    This is the single most powerful action for opening luck.

    Act immediately by trusting intuition

    Speed matters in 2026. Rather than detailed planning, a style of “move first, think while running”—guided by excitement and intuition—brings good fortune.

     Invest in high-quality communities

    Who you spend time with determines the quality of your luck.
    Choose connections not by profit and loss, but by whether your souls resonate.

3. What does 2026 mean for Takumi Yamazaki

For Takumi, born April 9, 1965, 2026 is an exceptionally special year—The true kickoff of a second life, just after turning 60.

  1. Three mindsets to make it a truly special year

    1. “Kanreki = rebirth as a baby”

    After turning 60 in 2025, enter 2026 with the feeling of being in your second year of a new life. Intentionally set aside the nameplate and achievements of “Takumi Yamazaki,” and redefine your activities around one question: “What can I enjoy most purely, right now?” This will spark explosive inspiration.

    2. From “passing down” to co-creation

    Move beyond teaching and guiding, and place greater emphasis on creating together as if playing—with younger generations and talents from other industries.
    Takumi’s natural lightness will resonate with the fiery energy of 2026, causing unexpected large-scale projects to ignite spontaneously.

    3. Make a “place with a wide view” your base

    As a lucky action for 2026, spending time in high places with expansive views is recommended.
    By maintaining a high vantage point and focusing less on daily trivialities and more on abstract themes like: “How can we make the world more interesting ten years from now?” you invite extraordinary synchronicities and attraction.

¥100 Onigiri or ¥1,000,000 — It's the Same Energy to the Universe

 


 Check out Takumi’s NEW English youtube channel🎵

https://www.youtube.com/@takuway


Today, starting from the morning,

I had a shoot with Keirin!

 

 

 

 

I don't know how to delegate

 

The image you uploaded is a graphic recording (visualized discussion) from the “I Don’t Know How to Delegate” Book Launch Workshop, held on December 19, 2025.
With its warm illustrations, it beautifully condenses the essence of the book and the participants’ insights.

Below is a structured summary and analysis.

1. Workshop Overview

    • Book title: I Don’t Know How to Delegate
      Author: Keirin / Mayumi Motokura

    • Date: December 19, 2025

    • Venue: AOCAN

    • Core concept: Living proactively

2. Participants’ Starting Point & Intentions

From the opening survey and participants’ comments, the following themes emerged:

  • Reading status: About half (10 people) had finished the book; the other half were still reading or had not yet read it.

  • Motivations for joining:

    • Wanting to be able to ask for housekeeping support

    • Managing a team of 30 people and wanting to make team members the “heroes”

    • Wanting to become “a woman who can delegate”

3. The Core Mindset Behind "Successful Delegation"

Delegation is not about dumping tasks—it’s about transforming communication quality.

  • Reframing language: Simply changing “delegate” to “ask” dramatically changes how the message lands.

  • Win–Win perspective: A request should make both the asker and the receiver happier.

  • Shifting purpose:

    • ✕ Asking for your own convenience (“so I can relax”)

    • ○ Asking to help the other person shine


4. The 4-Step Process to Avoid Failure

Failure happens when people jump straight to “dumping responsibility.”
The recommended sequence is:

  1. Consult – Ask, “What do you think?” to invite ownership

  2. Request – Ask for one specific thing

  3. Rely on – Leave room for the other person to say no

  4. Delegate – Only then, entrust consistently

Key point: Don’t start with delegation. Start with consultation.

5. Practical Exercises & Everyday Examples

  • Under the theme “Re-evaluating Your Ability to Ask”, common scenarios were explored:

    • At the salon:
      When asked, “Is anything uncomfortable?”—are you silently unable to say so?

    • Admin / secretarial help:
      If you miss emails often, ask someone to remind you.

    • Daily life:
      Start by saying, “What do you think I should do?”

Summary: The Essential Message

Delegation means activating another person’s strengths and giving them a stage to become the hero. And it starts with the courage to consult, ask, and rely—before truly letting go.

↓↓↓

What “Delegating” Really Means

Delegating means leveraging other people’s strengths.

  • TO ME people:
    Other-centered, afraid of failure

  • BY ME people:
    Self-directed, love challenges

Those who are BY ME should not try to turn TO ME people into BY ME.

Instead:

  • Borrow their strengths

  • Prepare a stage where their abilities can shine

Keirin’s method is brilliant.

The B Position —
also known as the No. 2 Position —
a stance of support rather than control.

And the way she sets up the T-up
is absolutely masterful.

 

 

Kanai-san,

In the middle of the night,

“You absolutely can't marry a guy like that!”—full-on rant mode!

 

 This is a lecture by Takuya Mizue on his experience and learnings from Anthony Robbins’ seminar (DWD).

The overall structure follows this flow:

Foundation (State) → Setting (Mindset) → Action (Breakthrough) → Motivation (Desire)


 

 

Phase 1：Core Concept "Managing your State"

 

The source of all actions and results is not ability, but one’s state (mind–body condition).

Two Types of States

1. Suffering State A state of pain, stress, and mental fixation (sympathetic nervous system dominant / beta waves)

2. Beautiful State：  A calm, balanced state (parasympathetic nervous system dominant / alpha waves)→ This should become the default state

 

Peak State & Scrambling

  • Anthony Robbins uses loud music and intense physical movement to forcibly create a Peak State.

  • Scrambling (Pattern Break): A technique to instantly destroy and rewrite past negative memories and emotional conditioning (neural patterns) by introducing a completely different stimulus.
    Example: saying a serious problem in Mickey Mouse’s voice.

• The 3 Elements That Change State (The Triad) 

  1. Physiology (Body): posture, movement, breathing

  2. Focus: where attention is directed

  3. Language: the words used and their meaning

Changing these instantly alters emotion and behavior.

 

Phase 2: How Reality Is Created--"Setting"

Reality is determined not by ability, but by how you set things internally — a quantum-mechanics-like perspective.

Self-Directed Reality

  • Buying a ¥100 rice ball and earning ¥1,000,000 require the same amount of energy for the universe (or the brain).

  • The only difference is whether you’ve set it as:

    • “Difficult” (Hard Mode), or “Easy” (Easy Mode)

“Don-Karoyaka” (Dull & Light)

  • A key word for 2026. Don’t take things heavily; reset everything as light.

  • Fear of loss or failure transforms into: “Growth opportunity” “Investment in the future” by simply changing the setting.

 

Phase 3: Breaking the Comfort Zone of Behaviors


When stepping outside the comfort zone, a wall of fear always appears.
Three ways to break through:

1. Relationships (Changing Conditions) 

  • If driven by ego (“How am I seen?”), the wall cannot be crossed.

  • The moment awareness shifts to contributing to someone important, conditions change.

  • Ability doesn’t change — the reason for action does.

Primary Question Shift:

  • From: “What do I want?”

  • To: “How should I act for someone I care about?”

2. Success Experiences 

  • Stack small “yes” moments

  • Or build confidence by expanding existing strengths 

3. Question Repetition (Brain Hacking)：

  • The brain (RAS) tries to realize repeated questions.

  • Ask: “How can this be done?” again and again until it becomes reality.

 

Phase 4: The Six Human Needs

Six fundamental needs that drive human behavior — and their driving force (order of priority)

  1. Certainty

  2. Uncertainty / Variety

  3. Significance

  4. Connection / Love

  5. Growth

  6. Contribution

Why This Matters: 

If you don’t understand which need is primary for yourself or others, communication and transformation fail.

Example: Trying to push change on someone whose top need is certainty will cause resistance.

 

Phase 5: Conclusion (From Q&A)

Change is not the goal — it’s a tool.

  • If you are happy as you are, there’s no need to leave your comfort zone.

  • What matters is clarity of desire — what you truly want.

  • If change is required to reach that desire, use the tools:

    • state management

    • setting shifts

Action itself is not virtuous. What matters is whether you are making the right effort for the life you want to live.
