Is There Actually a Commonality Between Porsche’s Design and Anpanman?

A 3-Year-Old Who Understands Porsche Speaking of which, the other day my mother said, “I was riding in the car with ●●(my 3-year-old eldest daughter’s name), and she looked at the car diagonally ahead and said, ‘Ah! Porsche!’ Even though there was no emblem, she could tell right away.” I had written an article like this before, and even then I thought, “It’s amazing that she can recognize a Porsche at just 3 years old.”...

A Couple Who Spent Two and a Half Hours Talking About Cars in Three Hours

Conversations Between the Two of Us Yesterday, by chance and for the first time in a while (about half a year), my husband and I were able to enjoy a relaxed meal together. Neither of us drinks alcohol, so we’re not fans of izakayas or fancy restaurants, and ended up going to a buffet. While there, we talked about my husband’s solo touring trip last weekend, then about Wata’s blog that he regularly checks, and...

A Woman’s Perspective on “Why Men Who Become Top-Class Don’t Buy Kei Cars”

Men Who Become Top-Class… I once read a book titled “Why Men Who Become Top-Class Don’t Buy Kei Cars” by Rio Satonaka. This book has sparked mixed opinions—mostly about the author rather than the content itself—yet I found parts that resonated with me and others that felt off. The Amazon description includes the following: Easy, cheap-minded thinking invites danger. Don’t be swayed by mass thinking. Is there value in kei cars that are relatively easy...

The Story That Kimura Takuya Probably Doesn’t Drive a Corolla

About Celebrities in Car Commercials I used to see Kimura Takuya (Kimutaku) in Corolla commercials, but every time I watched them, I thought: There’s no way Kimutaku actually drives a Corolla in his daily life. In my imagination, he’s probably driving something like a Mercedes-Benz GL (just an image, of course). Also, TOKIO appears in Suzuki Solio commercials, but I can’t picture the members of TOKIO driving kei cars. And then there’s Ken Watanabe in...

You Can’t Gain Freedom by Leaving Life to Someone Else

Why not just be a full-time housewife? Sometimes people around me ask, “You don’t really need to work,so why do you?” Thanks to my husband’s hard work, I’m able to drive a Panamera and enjoy other valuable experiences. Because of that, some people wonder, “Why does she work?With two kids, she could just be a full-time housewife.” Well, that’s understandable. But the reason I work is because I want to gain freedom—freedom mentally, financially, and...

I Dreamed I Scratched the Side of My Panamera…

Repair cost: 600,000 yen per door… I scratched the side of my Panamera. When I asked the repair specialist for an estimate, I was told it would cost 600,000 yen per door. I desperately tried to negotiate, thinking, “Unbelievable! That’s highway robbery!” Just then, my husband came over and calmly said: What happened? You scratched it…? So I explained, “The other day, when I went through an automatic car wash, I scratched the side. When...

First Time Test Drive of the Toyota Prius – Pros and Cons Compared to the Panamera

My Family’s Car, the Prius Yesterday, I had the chance to drive my family’s Prius for the first time. Well, it was only for about 20 minutes, swapping driving duties with my dad at a highway service area until we got off the expressway… The Prius at my parents’ house is about 10 years old, so it’s quite an old model. Also, just based on image alone, I thought the Prius might feel light and...

The Lesson: “Buying Luxury Cars? That’s Disrespecting Management! Sell Them All!...

A Unique Company Culture When I joined the company as a new graduate, there was a strong company culture of “Cars are something only playboy presidents buy. Spending money on cars is absolutely out of the question!” (What kind of culture is that?) This came from the founder and then-president, who had started from humble beginnings and built a human resources company through sheer grit and hard work, so “No luxury allowed, hard work is...
