Why I'm Obsessed with 'Monaki'. It's Never Too Late: Exploring 'Anatta'
In this episode, the host shares the profound impact of the idol group 'Monaki' and discusses how that experience challenges our perceptions of being 'stuck' in life, viewed through the lens of Buddhist philosophy.
The raw reality of their challenge touched my heart deeply.
Born from the 'Second Chance Audition' produced by Kazuyoshi Sakai of Junretsu, 'Monaki' is a four-member idol group. Seeing them take on this new challenge without prior singing or dancing experience—even with members over 37—deeply resonated with the host. It’s a reflective session where the host explores why they are so captivated by this journey and invites listeners to ponder the same.
Unraveling the curse of 'I can't change anymore'.
Do you ever limit your own growth due to age or past failures? In this episode, we introduce the Buddhist perspective of 'Anatta' (No-Self) to break through that feeling of stagnation.

We dive into the realization that the boundaries we set to protect ourselves are actually non-existent.
Tips for facing the fear of change.
Perhaps we can live more flexibly without hardening the outlines of who we think we are. Through the journey of one of the members, the true meaning of restarting in life begins to emerge. Please listen to the full episode to hear the rest of the story.
