A new classical music

program

 On my way to home after enjoying the Disney's Classical music concert I was thinking why I was fascinated by the program.
 Because I had very little interest in classical music few years ago and ,of course, had not thought about going to listen such kind of  concert.
I think this interest may comes from my ミーハー characteristic. ミーハー (I think it's dying word) means trendy in ironic way or that kind of person. Classical music is not new but a popular comic book of music college students was dramatized few years ago which name was のだめカンタービレ.

It caused quite big boom and lots of ミーハー family go to classic concert or let their childeren go classical musical schoool.
This is a good example of popular manga culture that gives society huge impact. After のだめ dramatized, frequency of exposure of things connected with classical music to media was obviously increased.
In my case, to be trendy was good because I could have interest in that classical concert I enjoyed listening and I was really moved.
While someone got new interest, some children might be dicided their future because of their parents' ミーハー interference.

Becoming same looks, to be differentiated

November 3, more than 30,000 students gathered here, Intex Osaka to participate in the job fair. I was also here to hear some companies presentation or research companies that I don't know yet.

Students are waiting in front of the gate

According to the big number of people here, many students are starting  research for job already. Before talking about my topic I'm going to introduce present situation of job hunting in Japan.

Now industries in Japan are becoming hollow gradually because they seek cheaper workforce in other countries. Besides, a lot of companies strive to empoly fresh graduates and if you spend a year having no job after graduated it will be insanely difficult to find posts of white collar.

And for some more reson, naturally we feel anxiety for our future. But what we, passive, quiet nation do to be empolyed?

Of course we need to be aggressive and we do so. It is kind of ironic that many students who are educated to be shy and obedient try to appeal themselves speaking loud and saying their opinion in front of several people who they first meet.

Students listening and taking notes

Also, as you can see, many students wear black suits though there is no designation of dress. I think it comes from our Japanese characteristic "everyone do so I do" and/or do not want to be outstanding.

I know we look all same ...but are we really want to be same as other people and do parsonnel managers want to employ person who have nothing special?

It's okay to be same as others now but finally we are going to be interviewed and screened. There is no advantage to be same as others. We need to appeal what only we can contribute to the company.

Our strange culture, job hunting is already started.
