How does loneliness support the Japanese economy?

This video will be Part 1 of a two-part video series, where Part 1 will be dedicated to first introducing the different types of businesses that have largely sprouted in Japan in the recent years or have risen in their popularity, that primarily targets the immense size of the lonely population of Japan as its main clientele, and play a role in the Japanese economy by supplying the services in demand.

And instead of listing these number of businesses in Japan that benefits from the nation's loneliness epidemic, in the form of business A, B, C, D, E,

we decided to introduce them in the form of a first person narrative of a fictional Japanese character named Masa, in relation to his life-long struggle against loneliness in its progressive stages. Hope you enjoy.

◆We are the authors of the book◆
THE SECRETS OF THE JAPANESE MIND- Demystifying the Japanese psyche towards life, gender, love, sex and more.
https://payhip.com/b/eBk45

Please consider purchasing our book if you wish to both support our channel, and read the most thorough, in-depth book on the Japanese psychology that has ever been published (You are free to show us a book that is more comprehensive and detailed than ours).

Based on my decade-plus years of experience living in Japan, our book will mainly be of fruit for reaching two goals:

1.Maximizing utility that is to be had in a Japanese setting, or a setting composed of Japanese people, by being able to understand why they do what they do (and not just sit there and complain of how they do things so differently)

2.Avoid the years of trial-and-error and pain in which I had to personally face when interacting with people from this island nation, composed of individuals whose psychological framework was by far the most idiosyncratic to that of people from any other countries in which I’ve lived in (South Korea, UK, Australia, China, Malaysia, etc)
