Takaki Ishibashi’s Recent Views
Recently, it seems that many people feel that Takaki Ishibashi’s statements and thoughts are out of touch with the current era. I am one of them, as there are times when his words make
me think, “Hmm?” In particular, I believe there are moments when a more flexible perspective is needed regarding how he views young people and societal changes.
Memorable Episode
A few years ago, while watching television with a friend, there was a show hosted by him. Normally, I find his talks quite entertaining, but that day, he made several comments that felt off. For example, his remarks about young people’s values and lifestyles seemed heavily influenced by old-fashioned thinking. My friend shared this sentiment, and we ended up having a passionate discussion about his statements afterwards. As a funny incident, I ended up eating too many snacks, leaving my friend’s popcorn bowl empty. It was quite a strange time, discussing his comments while munching on snacks. That exchange with my friend still lingers in my memory.
My Thoughts
The reason I feel Ishibashi’s comments are outdated is perhaps because he has been active on television for so long that he may be bound by old values in trying to meet viewers’ expectations. His humor and personality are fantastic, but I believe it is also important to sometimes incorporate new perspectives. As someone studying psychology at university, I strive to constantly absorb new ideas. I think if Ishibashi could adopt a bit of that flexibility, he could become a beloved figure to even more people.
