Location scouting yesterday!
Aoyagi-san, Yuki-san — thank you!
Our assistant director Uchi-san is off today, feeling unwell.

To radiate celebrity aura
it turned out to be “doing less of 〇〇”!
What do you think it is?!

It was—
“blinking less”!

Takumi-san, do you know about this?
I found these questions on social media and they’re amazing — if you’re interested, try them with ChatGPT.
It really digs into you, but it hit right at my core and was incredibly helpful.
[Step 1] Based on everything you know about me, tell me the “self I’m performing” and the “actual me.”
[Step 2] Be mercilessly honest — tell me my deepest complex (insecurity).
[Step 3] If you had to name one “vicious cycle” I’m trapped in that keeps me ordinary, what would it be?
[Step 4] If I fixed this right now, what would my life look like in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years?
[Step 5] Taking all of this together, what is the single “most effective (highest-impact)” thing I should do in the next 30 days?
↓↓↓ I tried it ↓↓↓
This is not a personality diagnosis. It’s a hypothesis drawn from patterns that recur in your past words and actions. I’m going to go fairly deep.
Step 1 | The “self you perform” and the “actual you”
The self you perform
“Takumi Yamazaki, the high-energy man who awakens people’s potential.”
Always thinking of something new, encouraging people, putting learning into words, creating spaces.
Author, lecturer, business owner, community leader, film producer, artist. And on top of that, trying to be someone who can run all of them at once.
This image isn’t a lie. 63 books, around 600,000 followers on social media, 740 professional coaches, an organization of some twenty-odd thousand people — you have actually produced results.
That said, there’s a bit of a strain in it.
“Someone always thinking of interesting things”
“Someone who never disappoints people”
“Someone still evolving”
“Someone who starts the next big thing”
— mixed in is the pressure of having to be all of these.
The actual you
The truth is, before being a leader who moves crowds, you are
someone who wants to dig deep into a single question and turn it into a work
.
You don’t want to keep managing people; you want to learn, think, write, shoot, and create the moment something inside someone moves.
And you’re more sensitive than you look.
You pick up on people’s expectations, the mood of a room, a friend’s disappointment. So you take on even the things you’d rather decline, shouldering them with “it’s faster if I just do it.”
On the outside you play the free spirit, but inside you’re quite bound by responsibility.
The actual you, Takumi-san, is
not someone who can do anything, but someone who — out of the one thing he becomes absorbed in — produces words and works that move people
, I think.
Step 2 | The deepest complex, the insecurity
In my hypothesis, the deepest insecurity is
“if I stop, my value disappears.”
Put a little more harshly, it’s the fear that
“a me who isn’t producing the next result becomes a person with nothing but past achievements.”
So you react to new projects, people, information, work. When you spot a possibility, you find it easier to start it than to discard it.
On the surface there’s the freedom of “doing everything I want to do.” But underneath it, there seem to be these anxieties:
not wanting to miss a chance
not wanting to be seen as slacking
not wanting to be forgotten
not wanting to feel you failed to use up your own potential
In other words, more than failure itself, what frightens you may be
“passing the peak of your life without ever going all out.”
There’s a counterargument. This may not be anxiety at all, but simply strong curiosity. Still, curiosity alone wouldn’t require you to keep carrying this many roles yourself. It’s more natural to think anxiety is involved in the part you can’t let go of.
Step 3 | The vicious cycle keeping you ordinary
If I name just one, it’s this.
What makes you ordinary, Takumi-san, is not a lack of ability.
It’s that you multiply possibilities so much that you can’t concentrate your power into one decisive work.
Books, film, AI, courses, community, Amway, food and drink, events. None of them are bad. But holding all of them with equal intensity makes your days busy while making “the work that represents this decade” hard to complete.
There’s a rush at the moment you start a project. The discomfort of the unfinished is temporarily diluted by starting yet another new one. As a result, you feel like you’re moving forward, yet you can’t dive deep into the work that would define your life.
Put harshly,
your power to begin has become a way of escaping the resolve to finish.
If you finish it, the evaluation becomes fixed. If it’s unfinished, you can say “I haven’t gone all out yet.” There may be an unconscious defense here too.
Step 4 | If you stopped this vicious cycle
This isn’t a prophecy — it’s a realistic projection of “if you concentrate on one thing and prioritize finishing over starting.”
One year from now
The number of projects drops, but your presence doesn’t. If anything, “this is what Takumi Yamazaki is doing right now” becomes clear.
One flagship project — the film “Yaruki no Switch” (The Motivation Switch), for instance — approaches completion, and courses, books, and posts all connect to that theme. Decision fatigue decreases, and sleep and thinking time come back.
Revenue may dip temporarily. But because the small projects that depend on you personally decrease, profit and time are more likely to remain.
Five years from now
You change from “the person who did many things” into
the person who grew one philosophy into works, education, and business
.
Film, university, books, coach training and the rest stop being separate projects and become one system: “awakening the motivation inside people.”
Successors and people in charge grow up too, and you spend more time working not as an operator but as an original author, a thinker, an artist.
Ten years from now
If it goes well, what remains isn’t busyness or titles.
What remains is a method, a story, an educational system that keeps being used even apart from the name Takumi Yamazaki.
Conversely, if you continue as you are, achievements will pile up further, but there’s a danger that “what did this person actually leave behind?” scatters. Even known by many people, a feeling would remain inside you: “I still haven’t made what I really wanted to make.”
Step 5 | The one thing to do in the next 30 days
For 30 days, start no new projects at all, and produce the finished draft of “Yaruki no Switch.”
That’s it.
It can be a finished screenplay, or a package including the proposal, budget, and production structure needed to make the film. But finish it to a state you could hand to a third party 30 days from now.
One rule.
Use the first three hours of every morning on this alone.
No messages, Zoom, social media, or consultations in that time.
Divide existing projects into three — “I do it,” “delegate it,” “drop it” — and limit your own work to thinking, writing, speaking, and meeting key people. But don’t turn the sorting itself into a big new job.
What really needs to change in these 30 days isn’t your schedule.
It’s changing how you prove yourself — from “the person who multiplies possibilities” to “the person who completes the possibility he chose.”

I see〜
That’s essential, isn’t it.
As I thought —
Takumi Yamazaki
has to start “232” from November〜〜〜
The global modeling agency “elite Japan” — its Japanese arm is led by president Miya Kuroda.
Truly a captivating person!
↓↓↓
It was stimulating!
Her power to move forward is amazing!
And elegant〜〜〜
She’s beautiful, but even more than that, what’s inside is captivating.
Above all, talking with her, her sharpness feels wonderful!
We got to know each other at the judges’ table of the recent competition to choose Japan’s representative in the transgender pageant.
Fujimoto-kun’s name came up and I was surprised.
She’d apparently studied at Achievement too — I really respect that.
Wow〜
I’m looking for a Japanese girl with a classic soft face and long, narrow eyes for the film〜〜〜
Is there anyone out there〜
Someone like Serena Motola would be great〜〜〜

1. Success in real estate and life in Tokyo
* Taking on real estate, and the conflict: From his early thirties he worked in the real estate industry, working hard and producing results, gaining financial success and stability — yet he wrestled with the dilemma of not being able to fully commit to “customer first” when sales and evaluation took priority, and with the relentlessly busy days.
* Taking on marlin fishing: To realize fishing, his biggest dream at the time, he lived a fishing life in Niigata and took part as a member of the Japanese team in international marlin tournaments (in Mexico and elsewhere) where anglers gather from around the world. Touching that world-class scale hugely broadened his view of life.
2. Moving to Bōsō, Chiba, and pioneering a new lifestyle
* Drawn to surfing and a nature-rich environment: Attracted to life near the sea, he set up a base in Chiba in his thirties and began a lifestyle surrounded by surfing and nature.
* Intuitive property purchases and homebuilding: Finding charm in land and properties he came across by chance in Chiba, he decided to buy on the spot. Involving himself in the design and the ideas, he enjoyed creating the ideal home and base where nature felt close at hand.
3. Living with nature, growing rice, and new challenges
* Reclaiming abandoned rice paddies and growing rice: He took over the management of neglected paddies and irrigation that hadn’t been used for 40 years, and took on farming himself (growing rice, garlic and more). Working in an environment rich in microorganisms and full of natural energy, he felt the true abundance of making your own food yourself.
* Sharing the experience with friends, and what’s ahead: Turning even the people he met and the troubles he encountered through relocating and paddy-building (friends dropping out, dealing with local residents) into energy, he’s now planning activities to spread “the joy of growing your own rice” to those around him, along with further challenges.
For a day, Kosakai-san came along with me and I showed him my hometown, Ise-Shima.
In the gaps in between, I asked what opinions he holds, what values, what vision, and what sense of mission he feels.
Captivating — I was captivated!

Do the things you want to do.
To do that, it’s also important to first find a way to eat with peace of mind.
What you love doesn’t always become work right away.
At Sō Kuramoto’s Furano Juku, young people worked on farms, supporting their living, while studying acting and screenwriting.
Haruki Murakami wrote novels while running a jazz cafe, and Philip Glass kept making music while driving a taxi.
Working in order to live is not giving up on your dream.
It can become an important foundation for continuing what you love for a long time.
You don’t have to worry too much about “can I make a living on what I love alone?”
Rather,
“what kind of living structure can I build so I can keep doing what I love?”
When you think about it that way, the road to your dream starts to look a little gentler.
_______________________________
↓↓↓ As methods…
For solving the eating problem ↓↓↓
- Protect your living with another job
- Earn with work close to what you want to do
- Make your living costs small
- Share housing, meals, and facilities with friends
- Sell products born out of what you want to do
What Takumi Yamazaki wants to add to this is
work hard on automating your income!
This song is kind of amazing

Actually, on August 23, at a seminar contest held on the Gold Coast, Giuliano Kumashiro will be speaking about the “Somatic Method.”
Giuliano-san normally serves as a judge at the seminar contest, and is also supporting the translation of the Somatic Method into English.
This time, he’ll deliver in English his experience of rebuilding himself after losing confidence when his business failed, as the “Somatic Method” ✨
We’re going to cheer him on too!!
Viewing is free, so if any of Takumi-san’s Australian friends or acquaintances might be interested, we’d be delighted if you’d let them know 😊
And this time we’re also planning to visit the home of Nami-san in Australia, whom Takumi-san connected us with! ✨
If anyone comes to mind, and only if it’s no trouble, we’d be grateful 😊
