「ミニマリストに憧れるけど…」捨てられない女性の自宅へ。モノ減らしたら汚部屋もキレイに片付いた

Hello. The opening is insane. I can’t find the words to describe it. It’s amazing. It’s a mess. So, I think this is probably a different item. There’s a huge pile of what looks like Dad’s suits and jackets in the trash bag. And the endless food. Inside the trash bag is a chequered area. Why do people with a lot of stuff like pink? Oh, I can’t get out of the entrance hall, which is being swallowed up by the trash. Can you understand? This is so bad. After exposing it this much, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I see. Your mother is here, too. So, nice to meet you. Actually, the reason this house has become such a mess is because of some of Grandma’s circumstances. I think it’s because of dementia, as I mentioned yesterday. Oh, that’s right. This is old. It’s suspicious, but I feel like it’s a shame, but it still breaks. It’s a shame, but if I keep it in a color that breaks, it won’t decrease forever, so I’ll have to work on it now. As for what was in it, it’s a very precious house. I think it’s disrespectful to family members to have these items burned in the trash, and there’s a famous quote about it. Don’t give excuses for not being able to do it. It’s fine not to throw things away because everyone else uses them, or because it’s a waste, or because you paid a lot for it, but if you’re unsure, just throw them away. I’ll keep throwing them away, throwing them away, throwing them away. I’m 51 years old and living in Fukuoka. I quit my job this March, and I’ve been wanting to reevaluate my lifestyle, my way of being, and what I want to do. No matter how much I reduce, I still have a ton of clothes. How about this one? Is this one better? Oh, then, let’s keep this one. This one is fine as long as we don’t let go. My child and I are happily reducing our clothes. Right now, our entrance is a mess, with a dog buried under a huge pile of trash. I’ll come again tomorrow, so I look forward to seeing you again on day two. Yes, that means it’s day two. It’s 2023. I feel like I’m going to get a fever. Maru-san accidentally developed art-related anxiety while working. Those things are really killing me. This is terrible. I lined up the books to tidy up, but clothes were left behind. It’s a terrible sight. Is this it? Ocho, what, it’s been two weeks. It’s been a while. It’s been a while. These past five days have been practice, so from here on out, it’s the real thing. Ready, go! Wow, this is scary. This is getting messy. Shuffling, shuffling. I’ve taken everything out to the entrance. Reduce, reduce. Things are coming out. It’s not over. Seriously? Wait a minute. It’s bad. It’s really bad. We’ve added another room. A ton of stuff is coming out, but we’re just throwing it away. A ton of clothes. Wow. And over here, it’s a mess. Clothes. Wow, it’s amazing. They’re still coming out. Another huge set of paper bags. Oh, the clothes are finally able to land here, so the fact that the clothes have arrived means there are fewer things. And so the floor has become minimalist. Clothes. It’s open here. Oh, we can get through. It’s spacious. And then we go all the way to the top. Dangerous. Yes. There you have it. Amazing. The biggest thing is that if I had done it alone I wouldn’t have gotten this far, so I’m grateful for your help. Wow. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in Masa-san’s life from now on. So, we’ve had seven days of stuff coaching. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. Today we’re going to continue reducing our belongings, but this time we’re down to the lowest amount ever. I’ve visited seven times. So, the person we’re visiting this time is Maru-san, a 51-year-old woman who lives with her parents in a 5LDK apartment. As you can see from the highlights at the beginning, I wonder how she got to this point where she’s so trash-free, and all four of her 5LDK rooms are so trashed that you can’t even walk on the floors. The reason why his possessions have piled up so much isn’t simply because he can’t throw things away. He himself has been busy with work, caring for his mother, and his personal life has been chaotic, leading to a steady accumulation of possessions. He requested this project because he felt he couldn’t handle it alone. So , before we move on to the main video, I’d like to mention that I’ve revamped my official LINE account. For some reason, I’ve recently released new videos summarizing the activities of people who have decluttered with me, as well as offline meetups. Signing up for the free official LINE account gives you 13 free gifts. Five unreleased YouTube decluttering videos. 20 interview videos with people who have successfully pared down their belongings through coaching. A list of 30 questions to ask when you’re unsure whether to let go. 50 Shibu quotes to deepen your minimalist thinking . 150 wallpapers and app icon images to declutter your smartphone. I’m also giving away 13 free resources, including a minimum life cost calculator to calculate your living expenses and an AI minimalist resource where you can consult with an AI branch. You can add it from the URL in the description, so please subscribe . So, let’s move on to the video. Good evening. Good evening. Nice to meet you, I’m Minimalist Shibu. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you . Thank you for joining me on this journey, YouTuber . I’ve been checking out the information and photos you provided, and frankly, the amount of stuff is quite large, so I think it’s a serious situation. So, I wanted to take a quick look at the room’s appearance through that video. Yes, it ‘s a completely clean room, but this used to be my room, and I had some things stored on the stairs. That’s right. I’d like to clean this up a bit too. It was my mom and dad’s bedroom, but after my dad passed away, I ended up shoving all sorts of things in there, and it ended up like this, so I’ve put all my everyday items here, like by the window. Well, in this situation, I think it would be almost impossible to do it alone. Of the people who applied to be on my YouTube channel after watching it , I think it’s a lot of people who have done it before. No, it’s totally fine. Actually, I’m kind of excited right now, like, “A formidable opponent has appeared.” Of course, I understand that from the perspective of the person involved, it’s a serious situation, but on the other hand, I would like to see it reduced, so let’s work together. Thank you . Well, then, um, thank you for your time. Oh, Masa, thank you. Excuse me. I’m interrupting. Oh, please. Your dog was barking. He was very wary, but please bear with me. Thank you . He’s a really cute dog. Okay, so, your dog is super cute, and by the way, his name is Fu-chan . His name is Fukutaro. Fu-chan and Fukutaro. His acting is great, even in the entrance hall. This time, we’re visiting Maru-san’s house. So, I’d like to give you a room tour right away before we tidy up. This is probably the biggest collection of stuff I’ve ever seen on my YouTube channel. There’s so much stuff, so I’ll do my best to pare it down a bit and get some clothes, so please bear with me. Thank you very much. Yes. So, let’s start with a room tour. First, the entrance hall is packed with dolls and shoeboxes that look like they’d receive clothes from top to bottom. One thing that’s bothering me is that I want to remove this newspaper badge. On my YouTube channel, a lot of people put things in there to keep things from getting dirty, but if you talk about it nicely, it’s really neat even without the clothes, so are there a lot of things that are bothering you? There’s actually quite a lot of stuff in the outer boxes. Yeah. Oh , that’s the top. I organized it a little around the time my father passed away, and sometimes I put some dog things in there. Yes. Okay. That’s good. I’m glad I started from here. There’s still a lot of stuff, so I don’t have time to mess around in the entrance hall, so here are the shoes on the bottom. By the way, this is Maru-san’s, and a little bit of my mother’s, and on top of that, this is Maiko-san’s, is that right? This is right. This might be Geko-san from Hakata, so she lives in my house. Oh, I see, Maru-san, who I’m visiting this time, is from Fukuoka Prefecture, just like me, so she’s from Hakata. And there’s more to it than just this shoebox in the entrance hall. Actually, I was given this to put my tea making utensils in, and even though I didn’t have much space, it was a perfect fit here. It’s like a storage place, and the kitchen is over there, but unused dishes are temporarily stored here, and it’s not really here, but my mother says she keeps all sorts of things hidden there . So surprisingly, there isn’t that much inside. Even though there aren’t that many things in the room, I feel like this entrance space is a waste, so it’d be nice to reduce it. That’s right. It seems like it would be hard to let go, but let’s do our best. That’s right. Continuing on. There are still a lot of axes over here. What kind of things are there here? Here, you see, there are old documents I brought back from my previous workplace, but I didn’t have anywhere to put them so I’m just storing them here, and a bunch of magazines. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I’ve worked hard to tidy up this area. By the way, you can see Fuku-chan looking at it in the back. It looks like he can’t help but be curious about it. Okay, continuing on. There’s a door right at the entrance. Oh, it’s a bit stuck here, and it won’t open because it’s become a swamp and doesn’t function as Akazu’s room . Yes. So, things are a mess in Akazu’s room. It seems like they just threw cardboard boxes and other trash in here, and what bothers me is that there’s a Buddhist altar here. Even though it’s here, the surrounding area is in such chaos. I think we should try to reduce it a bit for the sake of the 5,000-yen donation . It’s a sacred place, but the surrounding area is full of trash, which is a real problem, but we’ll do our best to reduce it. By the way, this is called the “Hazutsu-no-ma” room, and a huge amount of stuff has been collected there. What room was this room originally? Aside from the altar , there’s a table here, and it was used as a dining area for New Year’s meals and when guests came over. Originally, it was a spacious cafe with a visible floor, so when someone was transferred, they stuffed their belongings in there and they couldn’t find a place to put them, and they just piled up. Yes. By the way, how many years has this been going on? About five years, I think. Yes, this place has been red for about five years, and, um, the same goes for that door over there, and there’s a door over there too, but it’s become the “Akazu-no-ma” room. That’s right . So it’s such a waste. If we could reduce the amount here, there would be doors here and here, so life would be much easier, but I think it’s a waste to have things blocked up, so let’s try and reduce it a bit. Yes. So, it continues like this from here, and here we have to do things like set up the dog’s sheath here. And, over here is the living room, and your mother is here too. So, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Hello, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work. So, there are two people in that family. Your mother, Maru-san, and one dog, so you have two households, okay? So, this is the living room where you two probably watch TV and eat dinner, and over there is the kitchen, and I think it’s probably quite a mess. There’s a lot of stuff here, so I’ll try and reduce it here too. Please reduce it. So, um, from your feet up, it’s clogged up everywhere like this, with stuff clogging up everywhere. So, the Red Room and this place are originally connected like this. I think if we reduce the amount of stuff here and there, we can probably get through here. Yeah. And when we got our dog here, we made this into a cage space, so it looks like it was blocked off at one point. Ah, I see. It’s a little cleaner now. This area is well organized, yeah. This used to be this space, but it’s become a cow with all the stuff, so I’ll work hard to reduce the stuff and open it up, so just wait. Is this a round cheese? It ‘s chin. Good. That’s crazy. I’ve never heard of it before. There aren’t many of them. My friends. Apparently it’s in the Japanese prefectures that are bought in books. Yeah. Wow. Pretty good. By the way, has this place been around for about five years now? It wasn’t much, but I guess it’s been about eight years since we started storing things here . This place seems to have been lived in for about eight years, and I was able to see the kitchen as it was. Around the table, there’s a desk in front of the cupboard, and there’s even Sanikouma stationery packed in there, as if everything you need is stored there. Then, there’s a bay window with family photos and lots of decorations that look like they could hold clothes, but clothes don’t fit in this room. No matter how good the decorations are, there’s just too much stuff to cover them, so I decided to reduce the amount of stuff before adding anything good. There was something that really caught my eye: a colorless Dilac Bear night light that lights up when you put batteries in it. It was supposed to be a decorative item, but I think I bought it at a convenience store because I thought it was cute. Leaving the living room, there’s a staircase at the back that leads to the second floor. I’ll go there later, but first, from here, there’s the bathroom bar and washroom. Well, this is the prettiest place. I’ve been to a lot of different rooms, and they all have clean bathrooms . I think the only place where people can relax is the bathroom, but of course, it’s all about the bathroom . Incidentally, the hallway leading to the bathroom often has seasonal fans, and I often use them. So, this is the bathroom, and it’s definitely a very cozy place. It’s wonderful. This is the most relaxing place, the toilet and the bathroom, and there’s a door here, but the area in front of the door is filled with amazing things, and I use this one. This was the first room to get into trouble, and it was used as a guest room, and when guests come over, it’s stuffed with stuff and becomes a room, and it feels like climbing a mountain. Yes. There’s another one besides the one in front of the red one, and I thought this one was even worse. Can you open it? Oh, sorry. It’s so hard to open. We have to clean this up to prevent the girl who gets killed by things from getting hurt, so it’s a good punishment. It won’t open. It won’t open. It used to be my parents’ bedroom. And because it was so spacious, I ended up just stuffing more and more stuff in there, and it ended up becoming a shelter for things. Understood. I caught a glimpse, but it looked pretty bad, so I went in. Open. Bad. I couldn’t find the words to say it. I was going to say “Wow” just now, but the amount of stuff is just too much. Bad. And I can’t go any further from here. Can you understand? There ‘s really no room to move, so I can’t go any further. This is the biggest amount of stuff ever, and it’s really overwhelming. This place is really tough. Actually, I was given seven days a week, but it looks like it’s going to be a close call. I gave myself seven days to spare. If you look closely here, you’ll see a lot of obvious trash, like Amazon cardboard boxes. Like in the previous room, it’s like, “I don’t even bother throwing out the trash, so I’ll just put it in here for now.” That’s right. When I was working, I just put it somewhere for the time being. So, I thought about bringing it back on a day off and tidying up, and throwing it away, but I just didn’t have the energy, so it’s left as it is. It’s like a garbage disposal inside the house. Now that you mention it, that’s true. Let’s do our best here too. And there’s still a second floor, so we’ll go up there from here. Oh, sorry. There’s a ton of stuff on those stairs too. Wait. Oh, I said there was, but there’s a huge process right in front of me now, tada! Right at the top of the stairs, there’s a ton of stuff, blocking the hallway. This place is pretty messy, too. It’s piled up so neatly. Right here, against the wall. My mother piled it all up without me noticing, and I think she was already starting to develop dementia at the time, so I’m sorry, but if it had been before, I’m sure she would have stayed and sorted it out, but she probably reached a point where she didn’t know what to do, so she just piled it up neatly. I think she thought she’d tidied it up in her own way, but it seems like basically everything here is something that could be thrown away and is just sleeping there. And then my clothes started climbing up. I want to do my best to reduce the amount of clothes so that I can climb up here comfortably. There are clothes hanging here and already here, but it looks amazing. I’ve been pulling things out thinking I need to tidy up, so I’m not sure what to do with them properly, and they’re spread out here a bit. I haven’t seen the view ahead yet, but I’ll go. Oops, it’s old man. Oh, and so we’ve come to the third storage room. Well, here too, there’s barely any room to step, so it’s a bit difficult to step over, but there’s a ton of stuff overflowing here too. It’s bad. I’m so used to seeing it that I can’t comment. Oh, here we go again. I thought it was the third one. If I actually saw it, I could throw it away, but I really understand that I don’t have the time or ability to do so. I’ll try my best to live here too. And Akabon Girl. This is the smartest university in Fukuoka, where we live. 2009. Apparently, I bought this back then for my job as a test-taking instructor and tried to solve it. I didn’t go to college until my second year, so I can’t solve it. It’s like a really difficult problem, and there are all kinds of documents and mementos lying around, but it’s a little scary. It’s like a sneeze. Well, if you look closely, there are things here too, piled up everywhere in the hallway. And this side. The one currently being used as a bedroom. Yes. Wow. There’s a lot of stuff, but it looks really neat. Other otaku would be like, “Oh, there’s still a lot of stuff here,” but this room looks really minimalist. The other rooms are so overflowing with stuff that they look really neat. What particularly caught my attention was that side. There’s a bunch of stuff piled up over there, too. It’s more like I just put it there for the time being, with the off-white and thicker items I didn’t use for the season temporarily stored there, but the things below are unused digital devices I couldn’t bear to throw away and have been using as storage. Yes. And over here, I took a tarot card class and learned about it, so that’s what got me started . By the way, she applied for this course, but she originally found me through a fortune teller who actually purchased my coaching, and that introduced her to me, and that’s how she applied, so I guess she likes fortune telling and tarot. That’s right. You really need to have a number 2 to improve your luck. Right, right. You need to keep yourself in order. Right. So, um, I have a lot of dolls that I get clothes for from tarot cards and fortune tellers, but in this state, the clothes won’t come. I don’t think it’ll improve your luck, so let’s make two. There’s also a closet over here, and it looks like this. Really. Oh. Yes. But it’s basically never opened. That’s right. It feels like they’re storing it for a certain guest. It seems like it’s a lot of work to keep it fresh. And, just like that, there are various books over here, and a dresser over here. By the way, do you have any clothes in this dresser? I have an older brother, so I use this dresser when he and his wife come over, and it’s mostly pulled out, so it doesn’t make any noise anymore, so it’s like I keep it there in case something comes over. That’s right. Let’s work hard to tidy up this area too. And I was thinking, there are a ton of calendars over there. I like buying things like shipping and acting expenses here and there. That’s right. For example, there was a calendar here earlier, a 2025 calendar for increasing your financial luck, and there are calendars all over the house now. You saw one in the bathroom earlier too. That’s right. But this feeling is a bit off, and even if it does have an effect, it completely negates it. Reducing the amount of stuff I have is probably the best way to improve my luck. And so on and so forth, but oh, there are more clothes hanging here, and a fourth storage room has appeared. And there’s a calendar here, too. So, here too. Nothing in particular to say. I’m used to seeing it, and I thought, “Oh, that makes sense.” It’s basically a lot of cardboard, isn’t it? I cleaned out my room about 24 years ago, and it was used as a room until I was transferred for work. After that, while I was away, my mother decided to organize it, and it gradually became like a cardboard room. There are so many things in the room, it’s hard to throw them away, but surprisingly, there are a lot of things that are just meant to be thrown away. Even just throwing out trash can become a pain if it keeps piling up. Tidying up isn’t just about deciding what you don’t need, it’s about taking the trash apart and taking it outside . When it starts piling up, you lose motivation . It’s like there’s no end in sight. The second-floor bathroom comes out, and there’s the same calendar there. It says things like “sudden concentration” and “resolute determination.” That ‘s all for the bathroom, though. Okay. So, I’ll do my best for the next week, so please bear with me. Thank you. Let’s do our best. Okay, okay. So, I’ve taken a look at Room 2, and we’ll win together. But first, I’d like to hear a little about why you both decided to apply, what kind of life you want to live with less stuff, and how you ended up in this situation in the first place. First, Maru, please introduce yourself. I’m 51 years old and live in Fukuoka. The reason I decided to apply is because I really have so much stuff right now that I can’t clean it up by myself, and I thought the only way to achieve this was with Sen’s help, using an automated system and someone to help me clean up. Thank you . That’s right. But honestly , I don’t think you could do it alone in this situation , so I’m not going to help you anymore. To begin with, I’d like to ask you how you ended up in this situation. When you started working, you worked as a teacher, so you’d go in the morning, work late into the night, and come home, and you didn’t have time to clean up. If you left home in the morning, you wouldn’t come back until late at night. You’d come home, sleep, go to work, and then when you got transferred, you’d have no time to clean up because you had to go to your next job. You really wanted to get rid of things, but you’d end up sneaking things home and working at your next job. This cycle continued, and you couldn’t get rid of them. On your days off, you’d try to clean them up, but your body got too lazy, so you just ignored them and went out and traveled. You were transferred for a while and lived alone, but you said that the situation ended up like this after your blood returned, and you brought everything with you. It took about 10 years for you to end up in this situation. I see. Especially in the case of the cafeteria, I have the impression that teachers are incredibly busy, preparing for the next class after class or doing overtime work to take home. So, there was a ton of cardboard in the monotive, and I think it’s because she was out shopping to relieve stress, and it was too much of a pain to dispose of the accumulated cardboard, so she just threw it in the storage room and it ended up like that . I understand that she’s busy, but I think there must be other reasons why it ended up like this . I think she’s also doing some caregiving on her own, so it seems like it was a fire. She’s naturally clumsy, so she can’t do two things at the same time, and I heard that she didn’t have the energy left to clean up. In the end, the amount of stuff she had accumulated made it difficult to think clearly. I feel like I’m frozen, like there’s all these online seminars about tidying up three things a day, and I sign up for them, but I don’t even have time to watch them. Oh, I see . I have a few things I need to get organized, so I’ve been attending other people’s tidying seminars, study groups, and reading books, but after I’ve finished tidying up, it feels like a grave. And then there’s the dog, my mom, and I work alone, and I have a ton of housework, so I ‘m in a situation where I don’t have time to tidy up. I’m so busy just trying to get by on daily life. And then there’s all these seminars and things you’ve been learning, but what prompted you to ask me for help again? The first thing that happened was that the teacher I use for tarot and healing techniques saw Shibu’s video recently and started tidying up and is helping me get going. So, that was the first time I heard Shibu’s name, and I also watched the video, and at first I thought it was amazing rather than thinking about applying or anything like that, and I thought that if I could apply, it would be similar to tidying up like that, and one big trigger was the new paperback version of Shibu’s book. I just wanted to promote it a little, so, you know, it’s a book I wrote called “Kono Tebudekiru”, which was published seven years ago in 2018, and it has just recently been released in paperback and is a very compact, palm-sized book, so please purchase it from the link in the description, and if you’ve read it recently, please do. Ah, yes. So, when it arrived and I saw the words “Open the wind and take back your life” written on the front cover, well, I was alone, but suddenly tears started flowing and I thought to myself, I want to take back my life. So, if that’s how you’re going to tidy up, I’d like to ask you to do so, and at that time I really I happened to see a live stream a few days later and heard about the recruitment, so I felt very embarrassed and pathetic to show you the state of this amazing room, but I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by, so I decided to get the support of various friends and family. So, I have a ton of clothes. Actually, today is October 20th, and I think this book came out on October 7th , so it’s been about two weeks since it was released. I picked up this book, and I cried because it said, “Get your life back.” And right after I read it, I was doing a YouTube project for the first time in eight months, and I was recruiting, so it really was fate. Yes. So, I said that my house had too many things and I couldn’t find any clothes, but there were clothes here. Seriously. Yes. I’m really grateful . Thank you. Apparently, it made you cry, too, so I’m really grateful that this book inspired you to read it for the first time in seven years. Well, the timing was perfect, so I’m a little grateful for this book. I understand. That’s the spirit you’re applying with. Moving on, I’d like to ask you about the kind of life you want to lead by reducing the amount of stuff you own. I was so shocked by the cover of this book, and since I quit my job in March, I’ve been wanting to take back my life . I want to reevaluate my lifestyle, my way of being, and what I want to do. Tidying up will help me feel refreshed and refreshed at home, and I want to move forward in my life with a refreshed mind . I also want to have a home where I can invite people over. Yeah. That’s right. Right now, I’m so consumed with tidying up that I feel like I’m not doing anything, including the things I want to do. That’s why I want you to reduce the amount of stuff you own and get back your life. Let’s work hard together to reduce the amount of stuff you own. So, we’re going to get back to reducing the amount of stuff you own, and I noticed something. Well, you introduced my book earlier , and you actually have my books here, and you’ve got all my books. Besides my books, for example, you actually have books under the table here , and, well, here, there are books here too, so you seem to be quite studious. Well, I used to be a teacher, so I actually have a lot of books scattered all over the place, but I’m starting with my clothes, and I have clothes scattered here and there, so I’ll start with Maru’s clothes and try to consolidate all the clothes scattered around in one place. By the way , where do you keep your clothes in your closet ? It’s in the first room on the second floor, so it’s the second floor. Since it’s someone’s house, clothes are scattered all over the house, and there are multiple closets, and clothes are left unpainted and scattered here and there, so I’m going to consolidate all the clothes in the house and bring them upstairs. It ‘s 3 o’clock. It’s 3 PM, so I’m going to clean up for five hours, and I’ll finish by 8 o’clock today. So, I’ll start by reducing the amount of clothes I own, but this house doesn’t have a place to hang a regular closet hanger, so I’ll make a temporary closet here. It makes sense. It’s TAS, so I don’t hang things up, right? That’s right. I store clothes in TAS, and I have them scattered all over the house, so I’ll just hang all the clothes I have here. That’s right. I took down the calendar and put the 123 here too. So, I asked them to come over here. Actually, there were clothes here too, so let’s just take it all away. I’ll gather all the clothes from all over the house in one place. So, as I gather all the clothes from all over the house like this, if I’m not sure whether I need any or not, I’ll throw them away. Anyway, I want to get a sense of how much clothes I have, so I’ll just gather them all up there. There’s also some clothes on the second floor, so I’ll go get them. It’s good, so I’ll gather all the clothes from all over the house. I think if I keep saying it’s good, the clothes will just get further and further away, so once I’ve finished tidying up, I’ll say it’s good and I’ll live a life where I don’t have to lift them . I can’t believe there were still some sleeping here in Monotibia. There are some here too. Yes. It’s going to be a pain to get them out now, because they’ve fallen down. All right. So, tons of clothes are piling up here. And there are some here too. This is the fourth storage room, but since there are some here and there, we decided to turn on the air conditioner today, October 20th. It’s hot , isn’t it? I’ve been going up and down the stairs so many times, and I’m so hot , I think you can see why reducing your belongings is such a good sport. I don’t know if you can tell from the video, but we climbed the stairs so many times to bring this here. Oh, there are some here too . Can we go here? Seriously. There are clothes sleeping over there, too, but we can’t rescue them. So, let’s give up on that for now and go over there first. Okay, so we did our best to gather all the clothes we had in the house. It’s a horrible sight. I feel like there are probably about 150 or 200 of them. First of all, my general rule for reducing my belongings is to throw away anything if I’m not sure whether I need it or not, so I start by reducing my belongings. The reason is that the moment I reduce my belongings, it becomes easier to choose clothes the next morning. Women, in particular, tend to buy clothes at the change of seasons , so clothes often pile up at home. That’s why, in household accounts, there’s a section for skin expenses. I think everyone buys clothes, especially people who own a lot of things. They tend to buy clothes on a daily basis, so this is what I tend to do . The reason I had everything collected in one place this time is because, as the term “total coordination” suggests, it’s more efficient to reduce your belongings by looking at the whole picture and thinking about how to dry them, comparing and deciding what to throw away and what not, so I had them all collected this time. Let’s keep the clothes we really need, just enough to hang here, just enough to hang the curtains. So, I’d like you to gradually reduce the amount of stuff you need, even if it’s just a little bit. The photoshoot was held on October 20th, which means summer is ending and autumn is approaching, and we’ll start with summer clothes . I’ll start by eliminating the clothes I didn’t wear this summer, and then keep the ones I want to wear in autumn and winter . I’ll start with summer clothes. I found a lovely green dress , which I took to the dry cleaners and still have hanging up. Right now, it’s probably a bit of a junkyard, so I think that’s why I’m covering my precious clothes to protect them. My goal is to reduce the amount of stuff I have so that my room feels fresh even without the covers . A lot of people use these things to protect their clothes from bugs and dust, but I recommend just removing them and just leaving them hanging. Having these things in your closet doesn’t look very beautiful, after all. I’m sure you have a lot of these things in your home, but I recommend reducing the amount of stuff you have, improving ventilation, and removing them . That’s fine. Okay. Okay. I think I looked for this straight away. In this situation, it would be better to just look for clothes first and forget about everything else. Conversely, please tell me what summer clothes you want to keep. Well, I guess I want to keep a little bit of my nose. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You quite like dresses, don’t you? That’s right. It’s cut off. Crosses are nice, aren’t they? As a male minimalist, I envy women for the existence of dresses. A dress is easy because you can complete your outfit with just one piece, and it’s perfect for those who want to dress with very few clothes, so I recommend a dress. I’m torn. It’s convenient, but I’m not sure if I really like it. It’s a situation where I’m coming because I have it. On the other hand, it means I don’t have to say it, so I’m sure if I felt that way, I wouldn’t feel like it. I think I’ll probably start prioritizing the things I want to keep now, and I’m more excited about this. Come on. If it’s available, then this is fine. Goodbye. Okay. Let’s get rid of it. This is the first thing I’m letting go of today. Yes. I’m letting this go. I used to enjoy wearing this when I was younger, but when I came back recently, I felt like it no longer suited my body shape, so even though it’s still in good condition, I’m letting it go. By the way, how many years’ worth of clothes do you have here? For example, this one is about 24 years old. Oh, so it’s 24 years old , so it’s something I’ve been keeping since I was in my 20s, right around my age, so I ‘ve accumulated 24 years’ worth of clothes. After 20 years, your tastes and thoughts change, and your experiences change, so if you don’t get rid of clothes that no longer fit you, you’ll end up like this. This is a matching set with the bottoms, but I can’t seem to find the bottoms. I feel like I want to be able to wear the whole set. I’ll have to look for it. But even if the clothes you want to wear aren’t great, they’re important enough to remind you of them, so it’s better to keep them. That’s amazing. You have an incredible memory, being able to find it among all those piles. It’s a common thing with people who have rooms like that, where things are messy but surprisingly, they can remember where they are. That’s true. So, even if you say, “Even if the room is full of things, I can surprisingly remember where they are,” but that’s probably just wasting memory. If you add a number 2, you don’t have to remember where everything is, so for some reason, I don’t really like this one. It’s easy to wear, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, what I don’t really like is the design? The silhouette when I wear it. When I bought it, I actually wanted blue, but it was sold out. Yeah. But I think it looks good on the outside and it’s easy to wear, but it doesn’t feel right. Maybe choosing the number 2 color when I bought it wasn’t a good idea. Well, maybe it was a compromise, or maybe I just wanted blue, and that’s why I like blue. That might be true. Well, I think you originally wanted blue , but looking at it now, a lot of the clothes you left are blue-toned. That’s fine , but if you carefully select things like this, you’ll find out what you like. They say that reducing your possessions is the ultimate self-discovery, and it really does bring out a person’s personality. For example, I like black, so I want to gradually reduce the amount of stuff I own and deepen my understanding of myself through tidying up. Yes. I really feel like I’m living in a place with terrible air quality. That’s right. I really do sell my real-life stuff and drink allergies, but I’ll try it. This one is pretty, but, you know, the moment I take it away, I’m a little hesitant. I want to cherish this feeling, but if I don’t have the passion to keep it and decide I absolutely need it, then it’s time to reduce it. That’s what happened here, isn’t it? If I asked you to tell me what summer clothes you need, you’d just take out the clothes you left behind. I want you to remember the passion you felt at that time. If you pick it up and hesitate, like now, it’s time to throw it away. Yes. This is convenient, but I don’t really like it. Yes, I think that’s what you meant when you said it was convenient, but… So, when it comes to clothing, I want you to be conscious of striking a balance. What I mean by that is, in the case of what you just said, the functionality is good—it’s convenient to wear, doesn’t look clunky, and is easy to use—but the design probably didn’t quite feel right. Yeah. So, you know, if something doesn’t strike a balance between function and beauty, it’s bound to end up second-rate. A top-tier item probably has a beautiful design, and it’s easy to choose, and doesn’t look clunky. It’s also light to wear. For example, winter clothes often have a beautiful design, but they’re incredibly heavy and weigh down on your shoulders. No matter how beautiful a piece of clothing is, if it’s a hassle to care for, you lose the love for it. So I want you to be a little more conscious of that now. Right. So, if you focus too much on design, it’s no good, and even if something is convenient and comfortable, it can look clunky. I want you to be conscious of that balance. I bought this a long time ago, so it doesn’t fit me anymore, and I don’t wear it anymore , so I’m sorry. You said I haven’t worn them, and that’s true . It’s about frequency of use. For example, there’s a school of thought that says you should throw away clothes you haven’t worn in a year, and that’s exactly it. So, since the fact that I haven’t worn them until now is an unnecessary answer, I’ve finished sorting through my summer clothes, and I have about eight pieces. Surprisingly, I don’t think I’ll be able to decide on these for summer. Since it’s Monday through Friday, I’m wondering if this will be enough even if I wear a different outfit every day, including Saturday and Sunday. I’m a little hesitant because I felt more secure having them, but it’s true that one outfit per day is fine. So, I think I’ve realized that this many summer clothes are actually enough. Now, let’s take a look at some fall and winter clothes. I found this cute white one, but it’s really heavy. You can see that when you touch it . I think I mentioned that earlier, but it really does weigh down those heavy coats. It’s so cute, isn’t it? No matter how beautiful the design, it’s hard to resist the thought. Well, my hands feel the same. That’s right. Especially as you get older, your shoulders get stiff and you get tired. That’s right. When you buy something, don’t just buy it because it’s cute or the design is good. Try it on and if you feel it’s heavy or bulky, it’s better not to buy it. It definitely won’t last long. I’m busy with work so I end up buying it online, and it’s quite common for the actual item to arrive. Incidentally, one of the characteristics of people who own a lot of clothes is that they buy online. They don’t see the actual item. On the other hand, I basically only buy in stores. You can’t really tell how clothes are unless you try them on properly, and they look so cute in pictures, so I think everyone just clicks on them, but it’s always better to try them on before buying them. Even if it’s a pain, I recommend going to the store and buying them properly. Some really lazy people go to the store without trying them on, and buy things without even trying them on, like, “Oh, I usually wear a size M,” but even if it’s the same size M, the fit and fit of your body can change quite a bit depending on the brand and design , so if more people try on clothes before buying them, I guess I’ll make fewer wasteful purchases, so I’m a bit remorseful. Yes. I’ll get rid of this one too. I feel like it’s a waste, but the color doesn’t make me feel good, and it still wears out, so it’s a waste. If I keep it and keep it for a lifelong memory, it’ll wear out someday, so I’ll have to work on it now. So, from your perspective, I think you said the color isn’t cute right now, so that’s fine. The more I pare down these things, the more I can reclaim my life, so when I get home, my clothes pile up. I just bought two different colors online. Oh, this is the worst scenario. I bought two different colors online, but wait a minute. I hardly ever wear these. They still have the tags on. What a waste. So, since you’ve thrown away over 10,000 yen worth of clothes in the past, please reflect on this. Here, I like some things, but they’re dirty. Do I really want to go through the trouble of maintaining them? Do I really want to take them to the dry cleaners and have them washed? What do you think? I couldn’t think straight. I couldn’t think straight. So, I recommend letting go of this too. ” Convenience” has become a catchphrase. I thought saying “it’s convenient, but…” was dangerous. That means I’m thinking of reasons to keep them. Right now, it doesn’t suit me, I don’t want to put it in the store, but it’s convenient, so I ‘m a little resistant to making up reasons to keep them. It’s better to put things like that on display. A wine-loving friend of mine said that wines that are said to be “easy to drink” aren’t actually that tasty. Speaking of which, easy-to-drink wines are the sweet spot, and that’s what makes them truly delicious. Easy-to-drink wines don’t have that same vibe. It’s close. It has a vague feel. Right. It’s a nice vague feel. It feels good to see my favorite outfits lined up one by one. You seem to really like this. “Oh,” I said, “I think I’m starting to get a second sense of it.” Oh, right. If you feel something’s off, then you just let it go. Well, if I really liked it, I’d probably be maintaining it a little, like I said, but it’s like my enthusiasm is clearly a bit off, like my senses have become quite tame. I think I’m gradually realizing that I’m letting go of my own tendencies at times like this. It’s a repetitive cycle. The more I pare down, the more momentum I gain, and the lower the hurdle to letting go , so please keep going. Okay. So, the clothes I don’t need right now are steadily piling up here, and I’ve finished going through all the clothes that were piled up over there. That’s great. When I arrived, the starting lineup was all there, and there were still some over here. Next, I’ll look over here. No matter how much I pare down, more clothes keep appearing. I sighed . Why did this happen this time? I bought it because I thought it was a nice color that matched this outfit, but surprisingly, I’m not excited about it. I just thought, I don’t have many black clothes left. I basically wear bright colors like blue, white, beige, and pink. The only black I have is Kanso’s clothes, so I guess I don’t really like black or gray. I like red, so I think I’ll wear this again this year. The answer is, do I want to wear it? Right. You say you might wear it, right? Is it a bit suspicious, but is it something you can wear with confidence? It makes you feel like it might break at some point. But if you let those thoughts pile up and put yourself in this state, then, oh, that’s right. My mom is watching over me, so I’m being bossy. Oh, by the way, those clothes are the ones I wore to a matchmaking session when I was looking for a partner, so they hold some negative memories for me. They ‘re negative, aren’t they? But I want to say goodbye. Yes. That’s right. So, if you associate negative memories with things when you see them, then let them go. Even objects are filled with information, so it’d be tiring if you felt depressed every time you looked at them. Let’s get rid of those things . I’ve only kept the things that get me excited when I look at them. What picture is that? It’s the one where you make T-shirts for school sports festivals from work . Let’s do it. Say goodbye to the past. Oh, that’s good. If that’s the past, then let’s take back our current lives. You said the past is like a sauna, and while the reason we can’t let go is because we’re attached to the past or anxious about the future, what we should keep is what we can use now. Otherwise, we’ll be trapped by the past and the future and end up in this state. As I gradually reduced my clothes, I came across my book “Bladeki.” It had this one here too. I had the non-paperback version, too. Oh, I put this one in first, then the paperback, and then I thought, oh, there’s something added, so I decided to read both. I see. I see. Thank you. Thank you for buying both, and this is actually, you know. When you open it, it looks like this, and this is the dust jacket, actually. Thankfully, this book has been a bestseller for a long time, and so, two years ago, before it was released as a paperback, I was asked to change the book cover, so I changed the design a little, and here’s the original. So, I see. So you read this one too. But here it is, in such a cluttered place. I recently bought a book and read it through the lines, wondering where it had gone, so I’m glad I found it. By the way, I sometimes lose a sock, which is strange . It’s not strange at all; I suppose it’s inevitable that you lose things living this way, but let’s organize it so that these lost items don’t get lost again. Living like this inevitably leads to more lost items. So , I finished looking here, but I thought there might be more here, so I found more. Just when I thought I’d finished looking, I realized there were plenty more still lying around . This is it. The one I was looking for. I found the outfit I was looking for. I’m glad. I found my valuable items, so I hope I don’t lose them again. But it’s good . I’ve gradually gotten better at sorting things into categories, or addresses, like summer clothes here, and other clothes here . Until this morning, I didn’t even know how many clothes I had and where they were, so I’ve managed to organize quite a bit in just the last hour or so . Okay. I’ve been piling things up, and it’s become a huge pile of clothes. Oh, you noticed, though. Those were bought at reasonable prices. The reason I say reasonable prices is because I was lured in by the low price. And I want you to remember this: things you buy just because they’re cheap are never going to be your best buys. From now on, it’s all about quality over quantity. You see, I’ve probably bought a lot of cheap clothes online up until now. From now on, I’d like to ask a few more people to choose me, and even if it’s a little more expensive, I should just buy clothes that I want to wear. My dog ​​said that it’s better to think, “I don’t need to wear a lot of clothes, even though I’m getting older,” so he went there, and he’s actually finished downsizing. I can hang all the clothes I need there, and all the clothes I don’t need will be gone. The clothes are happy. They’re happy because Maru helped me downsize. They said I worked hard on the clothes. Okay, so I’ve spent about an hour and a half going through my clothes. How do you feel? Do you have any thoughts or regrets after getting rid of them? Oh, I realized that I unconsciously chose them for convenience, which was cruel to the clothes. Yes. I think I said it was cruel to the clothes, but if Maru hadn’t bought them, they wouldn’t have been thrown away like this. These clothes, you know? People who really needed them would have bought them and kept them for a long time, but I bought them without thinking much, and in the end, they never got used to wearing them, with the tags still on. I ended up not needing most of them. These are the clothes I kept, but please measure them. 12816 So, for now, I don’t think I have that many winter clothes. Masa-chan had some clothes in the storage room that I couldn’t rescue, so I’m sure I can find more clothes I need from there, but I’ve carefully selected about 20 non-winter clothes for now, so that’s why. With this many clothes, I can wear them in any season except winter. These were all I needed. And then I had cheesecake. It took exactly an hour and a half and 90 minutes to get rid of all this clothing . It takes a lot of energy. Yeah, that’s true. It just looks so lonely. I think Seta is the one who’s most tired, so even just moving things around is a pain. I don’t think he could do it alone. He brings everything in at once. So that’s how you usually get your first meal. It just seemed so casual, but this is Komaru’s everyday life, so I’d like to be able to just grab a meal without having to go to the back and get it. It’s snack time. What snack should I give him? This is a frozen line of cream cat food. Okay, here you go. Push . Oh . Excellent. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It’s well-groomed. Yes. So, the break is over, and the brown clothes come out, and I’m going to put them in the garbage bag. But, after trying to reduce the amount, I feel a little bad. Well, there are some rooms that are close to being a mess, and even those who are in that state can clean up really quickly when we clean up together like this, so basically, it’s just putting it off. That’s right. Of course, there may be some personalities that make it hard to take the time to throw things away. Just take it away. If you do it properly, create an opportunity, and make time, you can get this much done—it only takes 90 minutes. You can get rid of this much in 90 minutes. I think you can get rid of 24 years’ worth of clothes in just 90 minutes. You can really get rid of a lot of stuff if you just take the time. So, let’s get rid of the trash. I took the stuff in paper bags, but they said it was worthless and I had to take it back. I’ve been doing that in the past, too. I’ve gone to a yutaku shop, but even though I went to the trouble of bringing it, they wouldn’t buy it for 100 yen. It ‘s rude to say it. So many people sell or give away things for the sake of 20-30 minutes, and they’re not getting rid of much . It’s true, it’s the point where you have to throw it away. From now on, I want you to be careful not to throw things away, and I think you’re able to throw them away properly because you’ve worked hard to tidy up and organize your things up until now. I often say that people who have reduced their possessions by selling or giving them away end up gaining them back. It’s a bit painful to be filling up a garbage bag right now without any pain. You’ve probably spent hundreds of thousands of yen on this place, but as I said earlier, it didn’t even make you a single yen, and you’ve even thrown it away once out of spite. I think Maru-san is the one who’s suffering the most, but he’s reflecting on it, and once he gets through this, he and I have stopped buying things altogether. He says he’s become very careful. Okay. So I wrapped it up in garbage bags and got five bags full. Moving on, I’d like to talk to your mother. Um, I was just looking through the clothes, and I found quite a few of your mother’s clothes, so I’d like to take a look at some of your mother’s clothes as well. What do you think of this one? I probably picked this one out and bought it online, so whether it’s something else or not is a different matter. I’ve never really bought my own clothes, and I’ve worn clothes my older sister gave me, so I think I’ll buy clothes based on my own taste. This one is just right too. When I wear it, I feel a bit nostalgic, or I think it’s nice. I guess its purpose overlaps a bit with this one from before. Well, I think either one would be fine. What do you think? I think this one is better. Oh, then let’s keep this one. Here, the clothes are rising up as if they were being let go. Clothes are rising up on top of clothes. Oh, I don’t need this one. That’s nice. Mom’s catching clothes quickly, too. That’s great. If she’s still a little hesitant about it, I think it’s suspicious. Yeah. That’s good. Both parent and child are getting along well and reducing their clothes. I mean, I didn’t wear this very often, or rather, at all. Even Maru-san hasn’t seen her wear it much, so I think it’s okay to reduce it. That’s right. So, I’m going to do this a little together with Mom, looking at it from her own perspective and Maru-san’s point of view. To be honest, I don’t think Mom is that picky about clothes. I think it’s good to give her advice from a general perspective and see if it’s right. Finally, there are some people who don’t have such strong preferences for clothes, and if you ask them, they’re fine with anything, so if you live with them, it’s good to give them advice. So, we sorted out the clothes we need and the ones we don’t. How did it go with reducing them together with Mom? I don’t need them anymore. It’s like, you don’t need to work out that much. I felt like I’d forgotten. No, no, I didn’t quit, so it didn’t bother me. Oh, I don’t really have clothes, I don’t feel like I’m being watched over. So, I’ve finished reducing my clothes and thought about where to go next. The next one in my order is my hair book, but I have quite a few paper books and it seems like it would be a bit of a pain to search here and there, so I want to go to storage room number 1 first. I’m going there now. I’m going to reduce it here to make room. There are quite a few things here that I think I can reduce. So, I’m going to reduce it here now. It’s already a huge mess. It’s a scene of evil, like it’s not inhabited by people, but by things. That’s right. I’m coming. I feel like I’ve had enough, but I’m telling myself to do it. I’ll do my best, since this is my first time reducing the amount of stuff. Yeah. I’m going to patiently pack this place up with garbage bags. I have no choice but to do it. On the other hand, it’s probably full of things I clearly don’t need, so even though I ‘ve been able to live here for five years without using it, it seems extreme. I don’t necessarily need this anymore, but I’d like to be able to live without it all. I do the bare minimum, but I’m still packing the trash bags at a steady pace . Well, actually, if I really don’t need everything , I could just ask the trash company not to put this whole thing in , but there are still some important documents and such, so I’ll try to extract those and do my best. I’ve already started taking commemorative photos. I don’t usually take photos because I record them on video, but I feel like I want to capture this. I can only get it now. Now I’m wondering how it all ended up like this. I think it was just a few at first. I often use the expression “If you do that, you’ll do it.” My parents’ house was obviously bankrupt, and even though we had no money, we got lured in by sales and bought a ton of things, and they kind of rotted, so we had a storage shed. But at the time, I was just like, “I’ve become a little stupid.” It’s a song I’d sing if I wanted to, but I think that’s the state I’m in now. I guess I did something stupid now that we’re talking about it, and I think I’ve calmed down and gotten used to it, but back then I was really busy with work. Shimasako’s mother had dementia, and caring for her was difficult , so at the time I really didn’t have time to tidy up. But now I’ve finally calmed down a bit, so I’m going to try my best to reduce it. I think that , but I clearly don’t need this kind of stuff anymore. The annoying thing about Fukuoka is that they don’t collect it in cardboard boxes. So I’m going to throw this away. That’s right. Let’s take it to Fukuoka City. I have no choice but to cut it up and put it in a garbage bag, but if I keep doing that, it’ll never end. Things like this . Oh, I got this as a novelty gift that looks like it could be used as an eco-bag. And if you look closely, it says Royal Twin Hotel, so I think I probably went to a hotel and thought, “Oh, this might be useful,” and brought it home. That’s right. I’m going to throw this away, too. What do you guys do when it’s such a pain to remove the name from cardboard? Well, I guess so. There was a time when I could just disassemble it, peel it off, and make these kinds of things. Right, I see. On the other hand, I wish you’d tell me, look at this and tell me not to throw this away. That way, it feels like I’m constantly looking at it. I don’t even know what it is. It’s like my mom just thought it was good to compile it for me. Oh, for now, it’s just some kind of useful garbage bag or repair bag. So, it’s fine now . LDK says this is what they threw away. So, it’s fine now. It shows that I’ve worked hard to reduce my stuff, but from now on, I won’t have to read these tidying up books. Including myself. That’s right. That’s great. But I’ll read a bit about the things I’ve thrown away. I can’t show you what’s inside, but this is the sixth thing I’ve thrown away. I just threw away a skirt full of pilling. Interestingly, this book also lists 309 things I’ve thrown away, starting with clothes. People really do accumulate clothes. The fact that I haven’t opened it is the very answer to the question of whether I’ve opened it or not. It’s so, so damn good. I know I don’t need most of it, but when I look at it, I can’t help but be curious. It’s important to just do it without looking back and thinking, “Oh, this is it .” Is it safer to throw these things away yourself than to buy them here? Well, this is a personal thing, but I recommend my parents just throw all the things they have in their trash in a paper bag and put them here. As for what was in it, it’s my precious home. I think it’s rude to my relatives to have these things end up in the trash, and important things are getting lost in the trash . I found a birthday present that I’d kept carefully in the beginning. Oh, when I opened this cardboard box, I found cleaning supplies and Kurashi no Kuso. The cleaning supplies are already showing off. Wow. I found something interesting. It’s a textbook on how to live, and I’m on board with Tetsuko Kuroyanagi and Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi. I mentioned earlier that I wanted to reclaim my life, so in that sense, this is really the time to reevaluate my lifestyle and living arrangements. It ‘s not something I need anymore, but without them, they’d just become wasteful. Muscle strength is amazing. I found a ton of extension cords, but I don’t think I need any more. Oh. I’m also lost, wondering where the answers to life lie. Well, maybe that’s the time, so maybe that’s true. I think I’ll find the answers again once I’ve finished paring down my possessions, so let’s keep trying. It’s true that there’s no path, but it’s a shame to have everything in order. Oh, I found some colored pencils. These are fine now. Wow, this is a waste. I should use these. I’m using a marker. I might use this for writing message cards or something. The fact that I haven’t used them in five years is the answer. It’s better to start thinking about how to use them. Oh, yes. I understand. I’m sure everyone watching this video is thinking, “What a waste.” I wish I could use it, but if you make exceptions like this, it becomes harder and harder to throw things away, so it’s best to throw things like this away. I haven’t used it in five years. If you’re unsure, it’s over. If you look closely, it says lucky bag here. He said he bought it from an online shop over the New Year holidays. Please don’t buy them in the future. Lucky bags are really just leftovers, so there’s nothing good in them. For some reason, I also bought two “end of life” notebooks. Oh, end of life notebooks. They’re notebooks for job hunting, but they haven’t been touched at all. Since there’s no sign of writing, I need to properly pare down my belongings and start job hunting before I start writing my notebook. I can’t live my life leaving these things behind, can I? That’s right. Even if I wrote a little bit, including my pre-job-hunting notes, in this state, I’ll end up wondering where the notebooks are. Oh, I wonder what the wrapping is for? Maybe this is pretty cute for Christmas or something. Oh, there are piles of these “god bags” buried in the mountains. There are so many of them, like “god bags” inside paper bags, but I don’t need them anymore. And then I found this. Is this a Frieza buckle? This is fine too. I thought I might be able to use it for something, so I’ve had enough. I like Kazuo Inamori. Ah, yes. But Kazuo Inamori’s “What is the purpose of life?” is what the CEO of Kyoto is all about. I’ve read about two of his books. When I go to the homes of many business leaders, they often have this DVD, and it actually costs about 10,000 yen each. I respect you, I-san. Well, if you’re unsure, if you really look back and think about it, you won’t be confused. Well, I think you’ve learned enough. You’re cleaving a lot. Ideally, you should just throw it away quickly. When you receive it, you’re thinking about reading it, so throwing it away is also thinking about what might be useful, and then you leave it. But that information you took down because you thought it might be useful isn’t that important, so it’s okay. You can find a lot of information with a search, even in this day and age. I’m Mizunaga. It’s a world of the past. But if I could give you one piece of advice, it’s that even though you clearly don’t need it now, the moment you pick it up, it feels nostalgic, so it seems like you don’t spend much time keeping it. Is this especially true for women? Lately, I’ve been thinking that this inability to throw things away is a particular problem for women. The reason is that over 90% of the people who sign up for this cleaning project are women. 95% women. That’s how much everyone is women. First of all, it’s harder for women to throw things away. Well, I ‘m sure you’ve heard of the term “women’s noh,” but women have a 20% deeper connection with their right brain than men. There’s a line connecting the right and left brain called “noh,” and it’s 20% thicker than men’s. The right brain uses logic, and the right brain handles emotions. Because the connection between emotion and logic is 20% stronger in women, even when their noh brain thinks they need to throw something away, when they pick up a book like this , they get distracted by feelings of nostalgia. So, women are less likely to pick up a book, say “this is nostalgic,” and then look at it for five or ten minutes . And, yes, men do pick it up and throw it away, thinking, “Oh, I don’t need this anymore,” but basically, because men’s noh brain is 20% thinner than women’s, men can throw away a bunch of stuff without really thinking about it. So there’s a difference. Well, the trick is, you can really tell when something is nostalgic or cute in your hands, but if you don’t work hard and get through this, it’ll probably take a lot of time to pick up each item one by one. So I want you to remember the feeling when you’re reducing your clothes. Earlier, you were keeping the things you clearly need and putting away the rest, right? I asked Ko to do the same. Just take the things you need first and don’t really look at the rest. Yeah. If you look at them, you’ll get so nostalgic that you won’t be able to look at them anymore . Let’s just keep going. It’s nostalgic. I’m saying it’s nostalgic too. Oshima-san is a catcher for the Hawks. I found this amazing desk pad, and I don’t know why it’s here . This one is too. Yes. So I’m gradually reducing the number of items, but Fuku-chan is watching over me over there, telling me to do my best. Right. I really need to reduce the number of items for my clothes’ sake. That’s right. The clothes that were originally tidy here are now running around more. There they are again. I’m so lost in life, I’m so lost in life, I’ve written an introductory book on how to navigate, but I’m so lost because of all the stuff I have. Because I still haven’t finished tidying up, my mom got worried and came to check on me, wondering what was going on. I’m trying my best to reduce it, but it’s slow, and I’m not sure if the floor is clear to the viewers. Even though it looks like this, the floor is opening up little by little. Clothes have arrived in the garbage bag. I’m currently reducing my clothes. I’m trying my best to reduce them. So, you see. This garbage bag is steadily filling up with trash. The clothes have turned into a dog buried in the trash, but it’s gazing at the trash with relish. You like Rilakkuma, do n’t you? That’s right. My sister also loves Rilakkuma, and we have a lot of Rilakkuma merchandise at my parents’ house. Some things are kind of soothing. Well, this is Fumi. Ah. Yes. If she really loved it and was using it, she definitely wouldn’t have the money for something like this, so I feel sorry for Rilakkuma. Hold on a moment. Mercari’s trick is to sell things quickly, for a high price, and easily. But I ‘ve never used it. Not even once. Oh, seriously? Oh, I’ve never used it and it’s never been like this. That’s right. I just remembered that I bought it even though I thought I’d become a completely unexpected person. I said I intended to read it back then, but I never had the time to read it. I see . It’s not that I was really working hard on Mercari for a while, but I tried to work hard and gave up. Ah, that’s right. It’s like I was just preparing. If I keep using Mercari, I’ll never finish clearing this up, so I’ll throw it away. Well, this isn’t just something Maru-san does. Many people who can’t bring themselves to throw things away say they’ll sell them on Mercari. Usually, when people have a lot of stuff, they buy cheap stuff and then buy everything. If they still had so much stuff, it would n’t be like this. From this perspective , even if someone uses Mercari, they usually don’t make much money because of the shipping costs and packaging materials. The best way to make money is to get rid of things quickly and live small. And, since you can save money by not making unnecessary purchases, everyone wants to try to get even a little money back when they throw something away by selling or giving things away on Mercari, but if you do that, it really never ends up being tidy. But you don’t need to read this. It’s true. It’s really getting to be a disaster. Clothes have started climbing the pile of trash. Are they okay? Will they make it back? Even if the clothes are all there , it’s Maru-san’s fault. It’s not right to create this pile of trash in the first place. This is bad, it’s bad. It’s going to get buried. Let’s tidy up this area so we don’t have to rescue pet owners from the trash. The floor is steadily expanding. Disaster Preparedness: Oh, this is a disaster preparedness cover. But if it’s here, it won’t be accessible in an emergency. I rewatched last night’s conversation and realized that the emergency color on A’s Joa expired in 2020. Ah, so it’s better to ultimately keep the lighting expiration date in the entranceway. That’s right. That disaster preparedness item should be next to your pillow or in your escape route. I keep it in the entranceway, but if you leave it in a place like this, you can’t easily grab it, and if you don’t check it regularly, the expiration date will eventually expire, so it’s better to keep it in a place where you can easily grab it. Even so, even if you accumulate too much, you won’t run out of stock if you can’t use it all up, so you can use the band. At the very least, you’ll be fine. I throw away more cardboard than ever before. This time, dismantling these things is a pain, and I can’t even do it. It would be no big deal if I did it once. Right. This is what happens when everyone puts it off because they’re busy with work. Well, we’re getting a ton of flyers these days, and we were talking about how they have addresses on them and are hard to throw away. I usually throw them out as soon as I get a flyer, but I end up accumulating quite a few. And, even more so, I try not to accept them in the first place. They have a sign on the store that says “no handling.” It’s like they’ll sue you if you don’t hand it over to the store without permission. You can buy those stickers for 300 or 500 yen, and if you cut down on those, I feel like the number of flyers I get drops by about 80%. That means you don’t get flyers in the first place , so while it’s important to cut down on them as soon as they come, it ‘s also important to avoid accepting them in the first place. If you have a lot of sales flyers and other things and you don’t want to throw them away , I recommend using some of those things to prevent this. I came here to take a break , but my mom will organize it for me. It was already past 6 o’clock, so I came to Otaku at 2pm and we did it for about 4 and a half hours. Even my mom started to get active , and seeing the backs of the people who had reduced their trash makes me want to tidy up. Everyone. My mom took the initiative. It’s helping me tidy up properly. I’m taking a short break. I’m going to try and reduce it by about four hours today . First of all, it’s a big deal that it’s much faster than doing it yourself . First, you get a feel for it. You have to experience whether or not to throw something away, and then you train yourself to notice when you feel like maybe it’s okay or when you have a premonition. That’s right. I also talk about reducing things as a way to practice making poor choices, and the more you reduce things, the more you’ll be able to grasp your own tendencies and reduce them. I think you’ve found some areas for improvement, like how there are a lot of god-like items and how you should avoid getting caught up in them in the future, and that’s good. Thanks to your advice, I’m steadily reducing the amount, so all I have to do is keep going. Yeah. Also, with the stuff you mentioned earlier, when I started to aim, I would stop, and then after an hour, I’d think, “Oh, I guess I’ll stop here for today,” and tidy up. That’s right. So I said, ” Let’s just get moving, we don’t have time to reminisce about the past,” but we also have a limited amount of time. If we had infinite time, we could reminisce about our memories and carefully throw things away one by one, but if we did that, we’d never finish tidying up, and if we had that time, there are other things we want to do. We don’t have time to let things become memories anymore, so we’ll just keep throwing things away. So , the break’s over, so let’s resume. Let’s do our best for about an hour left today. This is a crazy mail-order lifestyle. It’s like this because of the anti-lifestyle. If we’d tidied up properly, we’d have no problems. That’s true, but my parents’ house ended up like this because of the mail-order lifestyle, so it’s terrible. It’s crazy. I’m at a loss for words right now. I’ve been tidying up all day, so my head’s a little fuzzy. A ton of masks. I’m sorry, but the masks I found here look even more fragile, so I’ll keep going. I’m often asked what to do with my CDs, so I’d love to. If you sign up for LINE in the description section, you’ll find a guidebook on how to dispose of 35 types of items . CDs are made of polycarbonate, a soft plastic, so in most cases, they can be thrown away with the designated trash. Many people have questions like, ” I don’t know how to dispose of my computer,” “How to dispose of foreign currency when I travel,” or ” How to dispose of items in Hokkaido,” so please sign up for LINE in the description section . How to build a body that doesn’t get tired. Wow, but I’m really interested in this right now. Starting today, I’ll be on YouTube almost every day for about 45 days. I’m filming a nationwide tidying project, and I’ll be recruiting 17 people from October to mid-December . I’m tidying up so much right now, I want a body that doesn’t get tired . I’m currently working eight hours a day, more than most office workers. Easily. I usually spend my mornings starting at 9 a.m. doing online Zoom tidying for people who have purchased my tidying service, and then from noon onward, I spend eight hours tidying up, which is how I spend my days, thankfully . I’ll do my best not to get tired. Just hearing that I’m receiving that energy from you makes me think that it must take a lot of energy to come to a place like mine. Yes. Right now, I’m in Fukuoka Prefecture, which is close, but next I’m going to Kanagawa, Gifu Prefecture, Tokyo, Chiba, and various other places. Will you be doing it for three consecutive days or so? It’s basically continuous, too. Sometimes it’s sporadic, but basically, I do it all in one go, like three or two days in a row. Anyway, I ‘m telling people to focus on reducing their workload in short bursts, so once I’m done with this, I have another interview with someone. I’m a YouTuber. So, what I wrote about in 2025 was that I’m trying to create a work-life balance. I’m working, working, working, and I really am. But I’m kind of throwing that work-life balance away, so I’m really trying to do a lot of these hidden projects this year . I’m just throwing things away, throwing things away, and throwing things away. The floor is starting to open up, but I’m going to take this futon. I’m not even using it anymore. And I think it’s got a ton of dust mites in it. I finally made it this far. I couldn’t get this far. By the way, is this suitcase okay? It’s a huge pile of trash. He’s happy that his clothes have more room to move around. Actually, it’s enough space to play with a ball. So, is there still more space here? And there’s still more god bags to come. Yes. So, after all this work, the floor has opened up like this, and the first day is over . Yes, the floor has opened up a little, and it’s a little pushed together, but that’s fine. I think it ‘s more than half gone, right? There’s still more, but I’ll keep going from here. And let’s go over there . The entrance is a mess right now, with a huge pile of trash buried under it. It’s a little scary that his clothes are buried under it. If he falls over, he’ll die. He’s shocked . I’m going to throw this away, even though it’s a little tempting. But that’s true. Thanks to all the items I’ve reduced, this one has opened up. Wow, that was a tough first day. So, I worked for six hours today. Thank you for your hard work today. So, I worked hard on Day 1. How’s it going? Can I keep this up for about a week? Rather than feeling anxious, I felt a sense of obligation. Just having someone to play with me helped me make detours and call out to me about things I might need, and we divided up the work so we could move forward. We were both fighting with pride as we worked hard, but today, I ‘ve finished reducing my clothes and about half of them, so I don’t think I’m going at a bad pace . I’ll take out one item and work hard on this one, and then I’ll finish two more tomorrow. So, that’s about it for today. Yes. Thank you for your hard work. So, I called my mom. It’s been steadily decreasing little by little, and I have enough room to walk around like this. By the way, I spent six hours talking today and got 20 bags of garbage out. The entrance is a mess, so even though we started at 2am, it’s already 8am. So , thank you for your hard work today. No, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work. Oh. Well, even so, the person who threw it away is the one who has the hardest time, so how was it? But really, today, I was feeling depressed just thinking about having Shigu-san look at the amount, and I was already filled with anxiety, so I’m really grateful and thankful that you’re still with me through it. But I’m sure there are other people who are looking at this who have similarly piled up things in their homes, so I’m sure they’re feeling encouraged, and everyone who comes to look at it, and it’s time for water for the clothes. I worked hard to reduce it. Well, I’ll be back tomorrow, so I hope you’ll be here for day two. Thank you. Thank you . Just an announcement.

My clothes are still fresh today, so the front door won’t open. Sorry. I’ll be taking out the trash later, but it’s supposed to be the front door, so I’ll be here for day two. Thank you. Thank you. I want to reduce my belongings as soon as possible and live a lighter, more organized life. Yes. So, it’s 12 o’clock, so today is the second day of tidying up, but I tried reducing the amount of clothes I had yesterday, and how did you choose your clothes when you woke up this morning? Today, you’re wearing the same favorite clothes that you carefully selected yesterday, but It was easy to choose. I’d like to take a look from here soon. I think it would have been easy to choose clothes as soon as I woke up in the morning, so yes, the reason I recommend starting to reduce your clothes is that you can feel the change from the next day, and it suits you. I also really like blue, I found out yesterday, but it’s good. So, I’ll be waving back from that storage room today, so please bear with me. Yes, please. By the way, the clothes are climbing up here. They climb everywhere. This dog is cute. Okay, so I’ll start reducing this from here, but the process is the same. Reduce it little by little. Yes. By the way, this is the document I worked hard on a long time ago. I imported the image , and Maru made this, didn’t he? Oh, right. I looked up images, and most of my work was introducing Chinese landscapes, but projectors weren’t really used yet. They were written on the blackboard, like, “Oh, I see, this is the kind of landscape that people were watching.” Nowadays, projectors are used, but that was back when they weren’t. It was a pain for teachers to have to print these things, so even with the advancement of digitalization, they’re no longer used, so they’re just for the time when they were able to work hard at their teaching. I have quite a few breakfast memories like that, and I get nostalgic every time I bring them out, but I want to reduce them as much as possible. Those are the nostalgic kind. This one seems like it, but I’m not sure what it’s for. Is this a thank you gift? Maybe it was from when I was being examined at the school where I first worked. I see. We also have Minimal Arts Co., Ltd., and if anyone leaves, we should make a thank you gift and give them to them. Thank you for everything. Thank you for working. I used to get these kinds of gifts when I was a student, but I’ve never received any as an adult . I think people who are happy and think they would really display them, but I didn’t have time to display them, so I just left them here, but it’s okay now. Thank you. That’s right. I’m grateful and appreciative of the reduction, but after just one day of reduction yesterday, I felt a change in my mood the next morning . There’s a clear gap here, and I feel like I’m actually reducing the amount of stuff, but at the same time , I feel like I’m gradually starting to feel more prepared to tidy up . It’s like I happened to have some leftover clothes in front of me and wondered what to do with them, and as I reflected on it, I started to think about whether to throw them away or not. That’s right. Up until now, I’d been so hesitant to even decide what I didn’t need, but now I’m naturally starting to think, “Oh, I can reduce this, I want to put this away,” and the more I reduce, the more space I have, and I feel like I’m actually reducing the amount of stuff, so that’s good. I don’t feel like I have any worries anymore, in a good way, and I think it’ll just keep going like this . Right now, I’m just concerned about how much I can reduce the amount. Understood. I’m determined to finish this all by the end of the day today, so let’s do our best. By the way, I slept like a log yesterday. I slept soundly. Yesterday, I was working and moving around, so it’s fine because I was moving. Standing there watching over you must have been tough on your back and stamina, but no, I feel a sense of accomplishment. It’s not easy to reduce the amount of stuff to this level, so I’m like, “Did you get some sleep?” “Yes, I slept yesterday.” It seems like it really is a battle of stamina, so I want you to get a good night’s sleep. Yes, it was yesterday, so you don’t have to clean up after you get home, so just get some sleep in preparation for tomorrow. I ‘m glad I said that. I tried to match my words properly. Anyway, get some sleep. As expected, my throwing speed is getting slower. My judgment is getting duller, and I’m running out of energy, so the second half is a battle, so I hope you got a good night’s sleep. Good luck. This Junk Kumamon gift box is a gift. I think it was probably a gift. It’s cute, so as long as I’m thinking about giving it to someone or using it for something, it’s already time to say goodbye . That’s right. Yeah. Exactly. Because they’re cute, and, um, you can find a use for towels or something like that, so people tend to keep them, but, you know, it just keeps piling up and it just adds up, so I feel a little sorry for Kumamon, but thank you to the people who gave them to me. And from now on, I’d like to receive food and things like that. It ‘s more like consumables, or things that disappear. For each other. Right. As for the Kumamon towel, I don’t know how you asked, but everyone has their own preferences, so gifts are limited to consumables. What do you think, except for cases where you really understand the person and live with them? Are you reducing them? Well, this is also a KuwaMomo character, so it really does involve a sense of pain. It includes saying sorry. Ah, but that pain is really important, and, well, I talked about this a little bit yesterday, but people who don’t just give them away, but throw them away properly and experience the pain, don’t get a rebound. It’s true that there are a lot of people who are able to reduce their possessions properly, and it’s really true. Why do you think I’m growing up? Yes. That’s fine, but I have unopened documents and stuff, and checking, opening, and disposing of each one is quite a hassle, so I should open them as soon as I receive them. I have a lot of unopened envelopes in my mailbox, and I ‘ve been storing these junk items for about five years now , so I basically just throw them away without opening them. If it’s really bad, I’ll probably get a notification to recycle them. For example, if it’s payment slips, they’ve probably expired, and there’s a lot of information that’s no longer needed, or there’s no point in opening them. I have so much unnecessary paper, so I need to get rid of it quickly, or I’ll never finish reducing it. This is a bag I bought, but I sometimes remember wondering where it went. Oh, I found the one I was looking for, but what model is it? I forgot. Do you want to use this one from that famous brand of cover ? I definitely want to, but when I look closely, it’s a little dirty, so I can’t use it. Thank you. Normally, things you really want to use shouldn’t be managed like this. It’s like the contents of a document have come out, so it’s all messy. They come out from places where you don’t know what’s in them . Yeah. Well, Maru-san’s habit is that he just stuffs things in there for the time being, even if it’s out of sight, and they just pile up like this . He puts them all in a messy bag with the intention of looking at them later, and then he loses track of the situation, and he says he has to organize it, push it all together, and then he starts tidying up. “I’ll do it later” is really stupid. “I’ll never do it later.” They just keep piling up. I remember. Our Hakata Street is famous for its souvenirs, but the souvenir hair bags are amazing. I’ve never seen anyone with so many hair bags at home . They put them on every single one when you buy souvenirs from the store. And then he gratefully accepts them, but it seems like he didn’t use them when he gave them to someone. So they just piled up here. So I guess I’m a person who really loves my street. I do love it, though. I ended up buying a lot of souvenirs . The food is delicious, too. Yes. I found something interesting, but this was about 10 years ago. I was single, so I thought about it and decided to take the plunge and go to a major matchmaking company, or rather, a place with a king in the name . Oh, I see. Then, I found the documents I probably registered with at the time, and it brought back some nostalgic memories, but it was a system where you find each other and apply online, and I was so busy I didn’t have time to open the website, and even when we contacted each other, I was so busy I skipped over it, so I guess I just held on during a time when nothing was going well. When you’re busy with work, you don’t have time to focus on matchmaking or romance. By the way, I don’t know how much I should go into this, but I was thinking of negative things, and, well, I did try to find a partner, but in the end, I didn’t get married, so that’s how it is now. So, what do you think? I think there have been times up until now when I thought maybe I should get married, but have you ever thought about marriage? Yes. When I was really young, in my 20s or 30s, I thought I’d suddenly get married and have a baby. I imagined it that way, but now it would be nice to be able to spend time together, be healthy, enjoy things together, go on trips, and have that kind of support. I still haven’t given up on my partner, but I think I know that we wouldn’t have clashed if our house was in this state and I didn’t know what I really needed or wanted. Oh, that’s right. I actually say that quite a bit. People say that relationships don’t work out if your room is messy, because, well, we often talk about how cleanliness is important in relationships. That really makes people who have messy houses seem a little out of touch. I read a book about evolutionary psychology called “Darwin Taught Us What You Need to Know to Be Popular,” and it talked about why having a messy room is bad. It literally says, “If you want to be popular, become a minimalist,” but ultimately, if your house is messy, when you have sex with that person, it makes you feel like you’re likely to have some kind of illness. It makes you feel bad about having a messy house. It seems a bit unsanitary. So, that leads to the idea that you can’t have children with this person because you don’t want to have any children with them. And, to put it more simply, whether you’re dating or dating someone, there are times when you’ll have to come over to their house. If you can’t openly invite them over to your house, I don’t think it’s going to be easy to fall in love. So, in that sense, you still have a long life ahead of you, and you might find a good partner, so when that happens, it’s best to keep your house tidy. I’ve actually helped a lot of people with tidying up, both on YouTube and through my own tidying service, and I ‘ve seen quite a few people break up because their house was messy. So, in that sense, maybe you’ll find a partner in the future. My mother just yesterday told me she’d remarried. Right. And she’s in her early 50s, too. So my mother had never heard anything about her remarriage or anything like that, so it was a bit of a surprise. I congratulated her, but those kinds of things happen . Life is full of surprises, and I was surprised, too, thinking that something would suddenly come up. Then she remarried , and said she’d gotten one thing done. Things like that happen, so let’s reduce the amount of stuff we own. It seems like reducing the amount of stuff you own can also help with relationships, and it really does make sense, but that whole story about diseases at the cellular and DNA level makes sense. It’s not just women, but men too, who reduce their possessions can become the main choice company. For example, when you go on a date with a woman, you often have to make your own decisions, like where you want to go, rather than asking her where you want to go . It’s often written that if you ask her where you want to go, you won’t be able to afford it, but even in those situations, you can escort her, so reducing the amount of stuff you own can really help with relationships, so reduce the amount of stuff you own . By the way, was it pretty expensive? I had the impression that the membership fee was expensive, but at the time it was 150,000 yen. That’s right. Well, I imagine it would cost about that much. At the time, I also took the plunge with the inheritance I received from my father after he passed away, but it didn’t work out. After I said that, I heard something: 150,000 yen, well, I don’t think it’s particularly expensive because that’s about the going rate for me, but I think it was because I was using inheritance money and it wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t money I earned myself, so I thought it was okay if it didn’t work out. I was busy with work, and I paid for it with inheritance money, so I think there were a lot of negative thoughts about it, and I think I should have read the instruction manual. Yes. The instruction manual, first of all, is this for installation. The reason is that if you search for the product, you can find the same information online, so it doesn’t have any value in itself. It comes with a warranty within a year of purchase, but since it’s been a while, it’s okay to dispose of it. So, if you’re worried about having to keep the manuals because you want to refer to them occasionally , there’s an app called “Instruction Manuals.” You can enter the product name there and download a single digital manual . You can consolidate all the manuals in one app, so I recommend using one of those. However, they said this will be fine for now, so I brought out my carry-on suitcase again, but it’s kind of heavy. Oh, what should I do? I’ve run out, so I’ll keep it at home. Oh, I’ve made a lot of food . What a shock. Oh, there were some young ones, and the expiration date has definitely passed. What a waste. I should have eaten them. Also, I found this in the back of a room, but even if you keep your disaster preparedness items in a place like this, you probably forgot they even existed. Talking about where I put this, I forgot I’d stored it here for safekeeping . Oh, I forgot. It’s like not having all these disaster preparedness tools. What a waste. It looks delicious. I’m a little sorry about that. I feel like I’m wasting it too. It’s a shame, but I’m going to throw it away. The water also has a strict expiration date, which is written here. You can drink the water, but what happens after the expiration date is that the air gradually escapes. The plastic bottle is still a little dented, and it’s like this. The water level is gradually decreasing . I’ll use it to water the grilled vegetables. Yes. This is something to regret. That’s right. And, you know, I wonder how much it costs. That’s right. You bought a pretty good one, didn’t you? Yeah. This looks like a treasure trove of expensive stuff. I should have just replaced it with a new one and eaten it. It’s better. Basically, I recommend the rolling stock method for disaster prevention, and this is what happens when people buy raw materials for disaster prevention. To be precise, how did I teach this ? I think it was necessary to write it down on a calendar, like a smartphone app, because people tend to forget things . And since there’s more here, it’s hard to check it regularly. The best thing to do is to use something called a rolling stock method, which combines regular use with stockpiling. In my house, for example, protein and mackerel are examples of this. I usually drink protein and eat mackerel, and when I eat one, I replenish it with another. So, we always have five mackerel bottles in our house. By doing this, you can just eat the ones with the oldest expiration dates first, which frees you from the concept of managing expiration dates. Since you can use it regularly, it won’t go bad. That’s how rolling stock works. I feel bad for the person who made this, and I’m sorry for the rice. Speaking of which, a lot of people say they don’t have money or time, but that’s because they’re stuck in places like this. Please reflect on this a bit . It’s true, every time you start losing something, you have to face your own stupidity. I laugh, but it feels like I’m crying inside. That’s right. So, throwing things away isn’t just about your own stupidity. It means you’re failing, so throwing things away is the worst part. My ideal way to let go is basically to sell, give away, or reuse. I say that throwing things away is the worst of these. For example, I basically buy expensive items one by one in my house, so I’m pretty sure I can use them all up. So, even if I borrow money and sell them, even if I do, I only have things that are worth tens of thousands of yen, so I don’t really throw things away. Speaking of which, when you have a lot of stuff, people aren’t likely to throw things away. It ‘s important to get rid of things now, but in the future, you can gradually reduce the number and sell or give away things. If you only have a few left, it’s fine to sell or give away things . It’s expensive, but even now, you’re constantly putting away all the cheap stuff you buy, or you can’t manage it properly in the first place and it’s going to rot before it’s too old, which is a real waste, so let’s keep doing this from now on too. I’m still 51, so if you think about the era in which we live in an age where we only have 100 people, we still have more than half the time left, so let’s keep completing it. Yes. So, do you really need this Carry 1? That’s right. I already have one of the same size, so it’s easy to use and convenient. It’s here, but that’s it. You’ve reflected on it properly. That’s right. When you think about the reasons to keep it, you say no, but you’re doing a good job of making it work, so I think it’s good. Please keep it up at this pace. So it’s 2 o’clock, and I’ve been working for two hours, but it’s getting pretty crazy. I can’t get out the front door, or rather, I’m forcing myself to not let myself out. My escape route is completely blocked, so I’m trying my best to reduce it, feeling like I have to do this to get out . I definitely want to finish this today. What is this, it’s really big. This is a good performance, but there’s nothing there. A while ago, there was a New Year’s lottery at that Sukichiji in Hakata. This is a barrel item with lots of good-performing messengers from Maru-san that I won in some kind of lottery. It’s a big, beautifully made shipping container. That’s right. It’s really big. It has faces from overseas. That’s right. This is super huge, but I don’t have any more. That’s right . So, I’m sorry, but I’m going to give up half of it. Anyway, if I start reducing the amount of stuff I own from now on, clothes will come. And in the future, I want to continue learning and doing things like this so I don’t waste time. Yes. So, after two hours of cleaning, the floor space gradually cleared, so they decided to take a break, and now they’re taking a break. They’re eating and resting, but their clothes are numb. They could do better, but they’re numb. That’s right. Yes. Sit. Sit. Yes. This is your daily life. So, let’s resume. Let’s try our best to light up those cardboard boxes over there. Yes. So, I’m writing “2” now , but this is Tsuuhan Seikatsu. I used to throw away a ton of cardboard boxes from Tsuuhan Seikatsu, but I actually bought quite a lot of things from Tsuuhan Seikatsu. It’s a place that seems to select healthy things and high-quality items, and I bought one thing there, which was the trigger. Since then, I’ve been receiving catalogs regularly, especially when I was living alone. When I was too busy to go shopping, I would buy things like a laundry rack, a futon, and other everyday items, and now I’ve been buying a lot of weather-related foods, and that’s how it ended up. That’s right. This is a camouflage phone from almost 10 years ago, I think, but there are a lot of camouflage with NTT Finances written on it. This is my mom . I think she kept it every month, trying to keep track of it. I really admire how organized and how she keeps records, but recently, for example, when I throw something away, she seems to think it’s a waste and that it’s better to keep it. So when I throw something away, my mom seems to think it’s a waste and pulls it up again. It’s like a catch-and-release thing. I wake up in the morning and the thing I thought I’d thrown away is back on my desk, dug up, like I’m a kid. Especially for my grandparents’ generation, we were born in an era where things were really precious, so we thought it was a waste to throw things away. On the other hand, I live in an era of mass production, so we have to throw things away as much as we can, and we’ve grown up to the point where we don’t think things have much value. So there’s a generational difference there. So, the cardboard box is slowly opening up. What is this? It looks like she’s washing the air conditioner filter. I can’t remember, but maybe she was thinking about cleaning it? The grooves and the top part of the air conditioner. I reach in and wash the filter like a Niton. Yeah. I haven’t used it. I haven’t used it. I’ve been saying I’ll do it, but I’ve been putting it away. Please let me eat this too. I feel like I could use it. But if you think it could be useful, please throw it away. It’s okay if you don’t use it. I had a lot yesterday, but it’s dangerous if I start thinking about how to use it. Something that could be done with a stick . Oh, that’s right. That’s right. Well, you can use other things as substitutes, and I think it’s dangerous if you start thinking about reasons to keep it, so please just give it to me. The floor is getting thinner and thinner, so let’s reduce it. Yes. But other than this, I have kimono tools, and I wonder if it would be good to have this as storage for the things left over after I’ve finished putting everything away. Ah, I see. When you do that, you’ll definitely find yourself with more storage space, and I’m sure you’re thinking, “This could be used for storage,” but you should throw this out too. The more you have, the more you accumulate, and besides that, the house is big enough that you can tidy up without it. Everyone wants to get rid of things right away, but it’s probably best to do the opposite with storage. I still have that mentality of maybe using something . I still have things hanging around, but I really need to get rid of them, or I’ll never get my life back. In this state… Okay, let’s get started. So I’m going to gradually reduce my storage. I even received a mask from a teacher who taught me Sado. This is a pitcher that happened to be left unused because the mother of the teacher in the room was using it. I received a lot of things from my seniors, like bowls and shelves for the entranceway, that I might use in the future , and they’re quite expensive. Yeah. Well, if I’m absolutely determined to do something after I’ve pared this down, then maybe I should keep it. But what if I’m on the fence about whether to do something or not? If I really loved it, I’d do it no matter how busy I was. I’m sure we all have a lot of things we say we’ll do once we’ve finished tidying up or when we have time, but no matter how busy we are, if we really love something, we’ll do it. Just like people who love games will play them no matter how busy they are at work, the things they want to do in their spare time are the things they truly love. I think it’s better to think of the things you plan to do every day when you have time as not a high priority for you, Maru-san. I think you should listen to this story. That’s right. You like shadows, don’t you? Tools are useful, and they come here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it’s something that makes you wonder whether you should do it or not, I think it’s better to let it go. I see. Letting go of it once and then feeling like you really need it again. But it’s okay, and there’s a chance that you’ll want it 10 or 20 years from now, and I’ll keep it until then. That’s the story. I don’t think this house would change if I didn’t do that. This house was built by a series of these thoughts. That’s right. That’s right. Basically, I have to ignore all the excuses and things that Maru-san has said about leaving things behind in order to reduce them. So , for now, let’s just say this. If I can just hang in there and decide what to do , I can probably still get rid of more of these things. I still have three similar rooms left, so if I stop working on them, I probably won’t finish. This is probably just the beginning, so I think there are probably still more like this, but as I keep doing this, I’ll be able to throw more and more away. But that’s how it is. So, no matter what, I’ve been cutting and … Everyone’s definitely doing something. Oh. And there are a ton of garbage bags out. They’re just taking more and more. Oh, so, there are a ton of garbage bags here, and as we’ve removed the garbage, we’ve created some white space, and we’re steadily reducing it, but… The entrance is a mess. We’ve been removing it for about four hours now, but it’s already in this state. We can’t even get out the entrance now. We’re trapped. Well, at first, I thought I’d open this up and use it as a garbage dump because I knew there’d be a ton of garbage. There’s only two garbage collections inside, so I thought I’d just leave it here until then, but at this rate, it’ll probably overflow from here, so I’ll put it in the courtyard. It’s already a year and it’s big, so I need to use the Oni to get the garbage out, or I’ll run out of space, and I won’t be able to move forward with step 2, so I’m going to put it out. So, I’m going to start taking out all these garbage bags into the courtyard , and the old lady is coming home soon, and actually, the reason why this house has become such a garbage dump is because of some of the circumstances surrounding her. I think I didn’t mention it much during the self-introduction yesterday because she was right in front of me, but I guess I’ll ask her about the circumstances because she has dementia. That’s right. She became a sushi girl 23 years after my father passed away, and she lost all motivation, so although she can walk on her own and do other things, her memory is now very short, and it’s becoming difficult to remember things. For example, yesterday I said hello to Shibu-san, but maybe today… Apparently, there’s a good chance that when she gets back, it’ll be like, “I’ve seen you for a while.” So, I think my mom and I were having a really friendly chat yesterday, and there’s a good chance that when she gets back, it’ll be like, “I’ve never met you before.” That’s why I’m opening the patio now: when my mom sees this, she might ask why I threw it away and try to take it out again. That’s right. Even when I’ve done a little tidying up by myself in the past , I’d get a little messy, and when I’d put something out with the burnable trash, my mom, who is a very determined person, would check the trash again, and when I put something back that I thought I’d thrown away, it would turn into a wreath and I’d wake up in the morning and it’d be back. So, even if we get into a little argument, it’s still good to throw it away. We often have small arguments about why we threw something away, and that can be a bit of a hassle, but yes, that’s part of it. It’s actually the accumulation of all those things that has made this house what it is, and I’m opening the patio now so that grandma won’t see it. Well, we have two days a week to take out the trash, so before then, when grandma sees this, she’ll be like, “Huh? Why are you throwing this away?” So , I’m going to start putting it out somewhere where grandma won’t see it. So, with that in mind, I’m starting to put it together a little , and I want everyone to understand that I’ve been going through a lot of hardship right now, and that this house is built through that . My grandma also has dementia, so every time I go back to my parents’ house, she’ll forget about work or what we talked about within 30 minutes to an hour, and it’s really bothering her. At first, she was able to clean and do housework at home, but it got worse and worse, and now she’s in the hospital , and it’s still a joke. So dementia is really tough, and my mother was the only one who couldn’t do it at all , but I’m not saying that. I’m going to start taking this out right now. So, I’m going to start taking things out to the courtyard now, but luckily it’s going to be sunny for a while, and there’s a roof, so I’m just going to let it all out. If it had been raining, I wouldn’t have been able to take it out. That’s right. It got soaked, so it was quite a hassle to cover it, but I’ve got clothes on. Oh, it’s just right. Yes. It’s a mess. Fuku-chan is crying too. Look at this pile of trash. I’m sorry. I’ll be done cleaning up here in a bit, so please wait. I came out of the courtyard. This is what it looks like from the other side. So, I’m just going to keep taking out the trash. Amazing YouTube. This is the first time we’ve seen the courtyard at the test site. Yes. Here we go. Throwing things away isn’t just about deciding what you need or don’t, it’s also about properly putting it in the trash, so when I imagine this, it makes me want to start. I really do reduce my belongings because I’m a sports fan. That’s why. It’s a test of stamina. It really is a test of stamina. So, really, the younger the better, and since I’m still the youngest I’ve ever been, I’m working hard on this project, and together we’re creating a truly evil scene. There’s a beautiful courtyard with lots of flowers blooming in it. I’m doing my best to climb over the trash. I’m taking the YouTube thumbnail, but it’s actually a pretty impressive view of a courtyard. By the way, this is only a day and a half. Six hours yesterday and four hours today, so it ‘s about 10 hours of cleaning up, but I still have two and a half days left, so I can still clean up. I’ve been living with this , so far. But I think this is only about 1/6 of the amount of stuff in this house . I’m sure I’ll still produce six or ten times as much, so I’ll keep throwing it away. Okay, so I’ve taken out the trash. Well, I mean, I’m not really taking out the trash, I just took out the courtyard , but it’s huge, and I’ll take the rest of that out to the bulk trash later. It’s the stuff that doesn’t fit in the trash bag. So, that’s essentially gone, so I think the place is a whole lot bigger now. Any thoughts? Well, I’m speechless at the amount of trash . I’m both sorry and grateful that they went to such lengths. I was kind of excited, or rather, excited to be in the courtyard for the first time, but I was. I threw away so much unnecessary stuff, so I guess it’s a bit horrifying, but I was excited instead. I’m going to take a short break. And now that I’ve finished reducing the amount, my clothes are happy. They’ve stopped crying. Look at that! I’m witnessing an amazing sight, so I’ll hurry. I was inside now . My clothes haven’t been able to move around like this before. So, just now, my clothes were running around all over the vast floor, and yesterday, my dog ​​was climbing all over this desk, and I think they were saying it was a bit naughty , but honestly, I think it’s partly because I have no place to move around because my things are all over the place . Well, of course, Chin’s breed has a fair bit of feline heritage, so that might explain his tendency to hop around, but I think Maru might also be to blame for the fact that there’s not much room for him to move around in this house because there’s so much stuff. He’s not able to move around much. I wonder if he’s stress-feeding. That’s right. So, once the house is tidy and the clothes are free to move around again, I’m worried he’ll jump on it. So, for the sake of the dog, let’s keep expanding the floor space. That ‘s right. Yes. It’s instructive to know that there was that much. It seems like we’re talking about the past tense, but there’s still a long way to go . There’s still a lot more to come on the second floor and around here, so it’s going to be tough when you think about the fact that there will be many times more garbage than that, but it does give us a sense of accomplishment, doesn’t it? That’s right. The mere act of tidying up gives me a sense of accomplishment, like, “Oh, if I do this, it will be tidy,” and as I do it, the feeling of throwing things away makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something , but that’s growth. I don’t think I really felt that way until yesterday morning. That’s right. But if I can reduce that much in one day, that’s impressive. If I start by myself, you tell me when I feel like I’m about to take a detour , I think I’ll only have about 1/100 of that progress. That’s right. It’s not even 1/100, it’s like I’ve never even started. That’s right. When I think about all the storage, and all the eyes, it’s really hard to deal with that amount and size of stuff by yourself, so I’ll continue, but I’ll take a break for now, and thank you for your hard work. Thank you . You’re a hard worker, aren’t you? Dogs can’t choose their living environment, after all. That’s right. So, for Fu-kun’s sake too. Oh, is it a boy, by the way? Oh, he is. Oh, I met you through Fu-kun. I’ll do my best to reduce it. By the way, my mother will be coming home from the day care center soon, so I made it in time. Oh, that’s right. The hallway and the storage function. So if I hadn’t done that, she might have wondered why I was there when she got home. Maybe, she might have already forgotten me, so we might meet again . That’s right. We’ll see. Well, I have dementia, so please look at it from that perspective. I’m doing this when I’m in my 40s or 50s, and I’m an old man, and I don’t think it’s right to let an old man into someone else’s house. I think there’s some resistance to letting a 40-year-old minimalist into a house. I think women, in that sense, are in their 30s, so I think it’s still the bare minimum for it, and I’m already tidying up. So I probably won’t know what this project will be like in my lifetime . There’s also the possibility that I’ll be doing it in my 40s or 50s. Even when I’m old, I’ll still be following people’s houses. That might be interesting in itself, but I don’t think I can do it forever, so I ‘m working hard to create as many works as I can while I’m still young, and I’m very grateful for your cooperation. I think that with his sophisticated personality, he’ll probably be accepted by people of all ages. I think a lot of people will be encouraged by seeing this, so while I’m driving, my mother is about to come home, is that okay? I’m thinking that when I finish cleaning up that room, I’ll clean up this one, but when I clean up this room, maybe they’ll react like, “Oh, I’ll have less stuff left over!” That’s right. Yesterday, when I was piling clothes up in here, he started to look a bit worried halfway through, so I got the feeling he might be thinking about moving and not really being okay with throwing away all that. He was a bit nervous even yesterday. Yeah. That’s right. He would come over to check on my room every now and then when I slept, so I was wondering what was going on. I get it. Thank you. I’m not sure how Mom will react when she gets home, though. Yeah. I’m looking forward to it, or rather, I’m curious. Mom’s back. Good evening. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll get back to you. Yes. Thank you for your hard work . Did you just think of something I told you about yesterday? Oh, that’s right. I just went there. Yeah. So, I’ve continued to thin out this side, and next up is this one. It connects to the living room where Mom was earlier, so I’ll tidy up a bit more here and make it connect to the other side so that the door opens to the main room. So, we’ll resume now, but Mom seemed to have forgotten about me after all. Well, this is how my daily life unfolds, and I probably fall asleep several times a week, so I probably forget a little, and the same conversations will continue, but please understand that these are the circumstances. So, let’s get started. Thank you. So, I have a pile of books like this. So, um, I’m going to start thinning them out a little from here. All the books that were here are all gathered together here, so all that’s left is to get rid of the ones I don’t have. Look. Right now, I’m sorting through my books like that, but, well, to get rid of a few more, I’m trying to gather them all together in one place, just like with yesterday’s clothes, but there are still some in the living room over there, so I’ll go get some . Just as I was about to leave, I noticed my clothes. So, there are books around here too, so I’m going to tidy them up. There are a ton of books like this. I’m going to gather them all together in one place. By the way, are there any other places in this house that could be used as bookshelves? There’s one bookshelf upstairs, a slightly tall one like this, and a color box. There’s also a bookshelf-like thing in the next room, but that’s all going to be thrown away. I decided to clean up that room myself, so I’ve packed up some things like this in cardboard boxes. Basically, the things I use in my daily life, or things I’m likely to use in the future, including this book, are all concentrated in this room and that one. That’s right. So, I’m going to start attacking from here. It’s bad. When I lined up the books to clean up, there were clothes left behind. I guess the dog playing on the garbage playground is a bit concerned about the smell, since there are so many things it’s never touched before. Ah. So, that’s it, and it’s deja vu. There’s a huge pile of garbage bags in the entranceway again, so I ‘ll put them out in the courtyard again, but I carefully selected only the books and threw out everything else. It’s a terrible scene. So, I’ll throw this away again for now. It’s my second time taking out the trash today. I’ve been taking out the trash for over seven hours now, so I’ll finish in another hour. Okay. And so it’s night. It ‘s pitch black. It looks like an illegally registered property. So, now that I’ve finished taking out the trash, I’ll start reducing the number of books. When I take them out, I want to finish this much for today and go home. Okay. So, I’ve placed the books vertically. Well, the reason I’ve placed them like that is because the spine is facing up so you can see the title. It looks like a simple book flea market that could be opened by a book store. There are so many books. By the way, have you read all of them? I haven’t. What percentage of them have you read? I’d say it’s about 80%. So, 80% of them have been read. Well, I do read less compared to before. They’re all books I bought after I started working, so I understand. In particular, this is a special corner, and Maru-san has a lot of stuff on creating your life, exploring life, words that create life, ways of living, and enjoying life. What is the purpose of life? Even so, I think that saying yes to life and the word “life” are key words right now. That’s right. It’s like , “This is my life” while I’m working. She said that she cried when she saw the words “Take back your life” on the cover of my book. I seem to act pretty cheerful in the video, but I think that when she’s alone, she probably feels quite down, so I guess that’s what it is again, the word “life.” She also likes things related to shipping and fortune telling, so I thought that maybe these words were keywords that interested her. There are a lot of books about tidying up, like this one. These are about tidying up and cleaning, so when you look at them like this, you can see what a person’s worries are, what they’ve learned, and you can see where they’re headed. It ‘s a wonderful thing. I’ve read about 80% of these books, so I think I’m quite an avid reader. Yesterday, I had the Kyushu University Red Book, and I’m such a good student that I can even teach it to others. It’s the culmination of all the hard work I’ve put into reading, so I’m going to reduce it. So, to get straight to it, the books I’m sorting are mostly in the front , and the ones at the back are mostly books I don’t need. I’m going to keep only the books I need from here and turn that space into a bookshelf. You might be wondering why I’m turning a place like this into a bookshelf, but this is just temporary. Anyway, it’s important to place books in a visible place like this, and like before , the books are buried. I think you’re wondering what’s where, but I’m going to line them up here and make a bookshelf for now. Look at this place from Maru’s perspective, and please give me only the books you want to keep. I’m so excited I want to take them to a deserted island. Oh, that’s great. These are the books I’d take to a deserted island. Well, it’s like a book flea market, and Maru-san is looking at only the books I want to reread, the bibles I’d take with me to a desert island, and he’s carefully selected them, leaving the books I have here and the ones I don’t need there. What is this? It’s a book from almost 20 years ago on modern military literature. The personnel recruitment exam was tough back then, and even if hundreds of people took it, only a few were accepted. I studied seriously and passed the year, and I used all the questions from that time . Oh. The final test of hard work. I passed thanks to this. That’s right. I want to thank the teacher these brothers created, and these questions helped me so much while I was studying alone. They’re like a testament to my hard work and mementos of that time, and I’ve been taking pictures of them for a long time, even though I don’t use them anymore. But now, I want to let them go as a token of my gratitude. It’s amazing, and on the other hand, you decided to let them go even though they have memories, which is a great decision. This really marks the end of one stage, so I’d like to express my gratitude and thank you. That’s great. But I feel like if it was you yesterday, you probably wouldn’t have been able to let go. That’s right. Yeah. You’ve been doing it for two days and you’ve been through a lot, so I think you’re gradually being able to let go a little bit. So this is good. But, since the video is like this, the memories are in your heart, and the knowledge you learned here is already in your brain, so it’s okay. So, this is the tidying up corner. There are a lot of tidying up books to throw away, but you’ve already put a lot of things into practice here, so it’s okay now. Right, let’s get you tidying up so you never have to buy a tidying up book again. Prevention. Oh, that’s right. Prevention is mixed with dog prevention. That’s true. You have a dog, so you need to take disaster prevention measures for him as well, but is there anything you do? Especially in areas close to you? I was around here when the Kumamoto earthquake hit, so I’ve been buying disaster prevention goods again, and I’ve heard that it’s difficult and tough to avoid dog-like rashes, so I’m very conscious of it, but the impact limit has expired. That’s right. In this state, as I said earlier, even if you have a disaster prevention card, you won’t be able to get it out, but now is finally the time to put it into practice. But I do believe that those who believe will be saved. I really am a minimalist, so I think everyone has something they believe in, and I also have a lot of books about money. Not just about financial luck, but some that are really practical. That reminds me now. Ah, this is a bit of an excuse, but reading is something that comes with age, and when I was younger I used to read books all the time, but I It’s also extremely forbidden, so if I continue reading like this, my eyes can’t keep up, so I end up reading outside, etc. It’s a strange argument, like I was blessed with the ability to read when I was young because of the stress of reading before the content . I see. For example, I often hear that you have to travel, especially when you’re young, and Chapter 6 is the same. If you get binoculars, you can read. That’s true, but I also feel like I’m getting to the age where I feel like I have to read a book. That’s true. Reading requires physical strength, and what’s more, modern people live with smartphones, so there are always things that distract you while reading. We’re surrounded by smartphone notifications, and even more so by our ears and eyes, we can take in information, so I think it’s easy to be drawn to the easier option. Being able to read a book as a modern person requires a great deal of concentration, a kind of skill. I think so. Last year, I reached a turning point and am now halfway through my life. I don’t know what I was thinking, but the ending sound is here. There are three ending sounds. Well, I want to write in all three books as a lost-end note . That’s right. There was a time when job hunting suddenly got really exciting, and when it died down, I felt like I was involved in all the paperwork, so I felt like I had to do something. I liked running around, and I bought things, but then I forgot I’d bought them, and then I bought them again. I want to let go of them once and clear my head, and then decide what I really need. There’s no need to write them in an end-of-life note. When we separate, I can just write it on some paper and stick it here. If I tell my family I’ve written it here, my boyfriend won’t need to go to the bookstore and buy an end-of-life note, so if I ever feel like writing again, I can just buy one, so I’ll let go of them for now. So, that’s how it went. I just finished looking. Yes. So, you know, I have books lined up here, but there aren’t many, are there? What do you think? If they were here, wouldn’t you want to read the inside of them? That’s right. So, the books I kept were like this, with books by Mother Teresa and books that were like a blessing in my life, books about shrines that I wanted to read right away, cooking books, books about money, etc. Since I’m here, I’m only keeping books that I want to read right away in the next six months to a year, and I’m getting rid of all of these. Well, how do you feel about that? Well, I took the approach of keeping only the books I really need and getting rid of everything else, and it sounds strange, but I felt like I couldn’t throw anything away, and I wonder if I’ve been able to let go of all of them? Now that I’ve organized them like this, I can find them easily, but up until now, I’ve had books scattered all over the living room and here, and I’m sure there will be more to find once I clean up the second floor, but I’ve finished going through all of the books around Maneko, so thank you for your hard work. Anyway, I’ve tied everything up here. Oh, this, this is a rip-off of my book cover, and people always say that. I published a book with a pocket book, and this one was released after the original, but people always say that this cover is a rip-off of Shibu’s . Well, I don’t say anything. Yes. So I’ve finished gathering up the things I’m getting rid of , and this is finally done. All that’s left is to take out the trash, so thanks to all your hard work , this is open. Finally, this is open, so let’s open it up. Let’s go. It’s finally open. And you can see the curtains, but they’re Jazzy, so they’re finally connected to the living room, and my mom is looking at the clothes, and now this storage room and the living room are finally connected. The clothes room is open. Oh, I can get through. And this is connected. It’s open because I worked hard to reduce the amount. So , if it were me, I think there were toilet sheets over there. Well, I’d put them here too. I think I could tidy up a bit more and put some around here . That way, even if guests come over, they won’t have to step on the pet sheet there, so let’s keep checking this area a bit. Okay, so today’s eight-hour Mohe-Rashi coaching ended at exactly 8 o’clock. Okay, so this is the second day of the Mohe-Rashi coaching. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. Oh, thank you. I ‘m in the middle of the day. Finally, I finished that room today, so this one is connected. So tomorrow, on the third day, I’ll be finishing up the living room, so please get plenty of rest today. Okay. Today is the second day, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. Okay, so today is the third day. I’m in the middle of the day. Thank you. Thank you. So the clothes are in good condition. And Mom is in the back, and she’ll be taking care of her again today. Thank you. Thank you . Okay. So yesterday I cleaned up this area, and today I can pass through here, which is great. She used to step on the pet sheet, but now she can go through here . So, today is the third day. How’s it going? After spending a day here, I noticed the amount of garbage bags compared to the students, and the sense of freedom and clarity of the space from being able to see the ground, or rather, the floor, but on the other hand, I also felt like I didn’t quite fit in . It was like I was restless because there were no items. That’s good. And, even more so, after I left , I got a LINE message from my mom saying she’d started vacuuming the other room with a dustpan. That ‘s right. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my mom vacuuming my room, and I’ve been feeling bad about having too much. It’s a shame there’s so much, but it’s good. So, I’ve already been doing this for two days, and I think I’m starting to feel some changes, but today I’m going to be downsizing the living room, so please keep doing my best. Thank you. By the way, if you look closely, there’s a book there. I was planning to throw this away, but you tied it up like this and continued working steadily after I left, so thank you. Shibu-san, you did all that, and I feel like I need to do a little more. Yes, I didn’t have enough time yesterday to tie up that area, but that task is surprisingly difficult. So, I’ll get rid of this later. So, today, on the third day, I’m starting with the living room. I’m going to take a quick look at the current state of the room and then start tidying up. So, here are some clothes and other things. And, actually, over here, there’s a little storage space like this, and there ‘s a lot of stuff here. It’s all messy, and there’s a lot of different things here , I can’t even describe them as “colors.” Well, there aren’t any specific items neatly organized or stored here. Right now, we don’t have a closet, so here are the clothes, and there’s stuff scattered all over the floor. Basically, the only open area on the floor is around this table . There’s a TV here, a phone over here, and this place is packed with stuff. The kitchen is connected to this area , and the area connecting the living room and kitchen is particularly crammed with things. If you look closely, you’ll see that there are actually a lot of books at the bottom. It’s like there’s no space left, even under the table, and it’s packed with stuff. I went straight to the kitchen, and there’s a table here , and there’s various stationery and other items. And then there’s dishes. The dishes are locked here so they don’t open, and there are cups and spoons here , and then there are the items that look like they might be used for clothes, like fire and water tools, and so on. This area is where I think it has a more lived-in feel. Around the refrigerator, there are various items stored there, including cans, that aren’t used for household purposes. There are also a lot of drawers here , and at a glance, you can see bandages, so I think there are various types of items stored there . I’m going to start reducing these rooms. By the way, it’s past 12 o’clock and we’ll be up until 8 o’clock today . I have a meeting in the middle so I’ll be off for an hour , but I’ll cut it down by about 7 hours, so please bear with me. Thank you . So, from this point on, I don’t know where to start. I think so, but I’m going to get rid of the things on the floor, the things I don’t touch anymore, the things I don’t use, and sort them, including the things I need, since that room has been opened up, so I’ll move those things there too and clear out this space for now, starting with that . I have a pressure cooker, which I use. I’ve been meaning to use it but have been leaving it there, so I’ll move it over there for now. These storage items will probably keep coming out in different directions, so just keep reducing them. At this point, it doesn’t matter if I’ll use them later, so just throw them away and it’s done. Hey, there are some documents, and if it were me, I’d put them all together here, for example, and start sorting them by type, while reducing them a bit. However, I still need some documents, so let’s put them over there for now. I’ve cleared that room out for now, so I’ll temporarily store the things I need there . This is the emergency food I kept earlier. It’s past its expiration date. I’ll keep putting these things away. There are photos of your mother here, too. These are mementos, like things the service staff took for my mother’s birthday. Well, I’m letting my mother look at them too. She’s staring at the clothes greedily. I wish they’d light it up soon. Once I’ve finished reducing this, I’ll have a lot of clothes to move around in, so I’d like to do my best. The Loft Club member list. These are mementos, but do you take pictures and then dispose of them? If it’s all mixed up, will it be disposed of? For me, it would be a pain to flip through all of these, so I only take pictures of the front. If I keep taking pictures just because they’re mementos, it ends up like this, so when it comes to mementos, it’s best to decide in advance how much you want to keep. For example, limit it to one cardboard box, or whatever, and stick to a set amount. If it goes beyond that, reduce it. Otherwise, for example, a common example is someone who says they treasure something that reminds them of something, but then pushes it to the back of the closet and hasn’t looked at it even once in years. But, for example, I often say I’ll take a photo and throw it away, but I still look back at the photos. So, who do you think cherishes memories more: someone who pushes them to the back of their closet and never looks at them again, or someone who throws away something that reminds them of something but regularly looks back at it in photos ? Looking back is more important, isn’t it? So , if you keep things that remind you of something as an object, you’ll eventually need another place for them, and since they’re not actually used in daily life, they just keep getting pushed further and further back. So, I generally recommend taking photos of them, and I think the most important thing isn’t the item itself, but the memories associated with it. For example, if you take a photo of something, even if it’s no longer physically there, you can still remember that you had a similar experience. Taking a photo is a good idea, and there’s also data that suggests people throw away 20% more items if they take a photo. For all these reasons, first of all, if you’re unsure about what to do with something that’s a memory, take a photo of it and throw it away. This makes it much easier to let go. That’s my advice, and also, since it takes time to get rid of things like that, it’s okay to put them off. I generally reduce my belongings in this order: clothes, paper books, daily necessities, and memories. When I pick up something that reminds me of something, I tend to stop touching it because I think, “Oh, this is nostalgic.” So, once you come across something like this, it’s a good idea to put it aside and categorize it , and then at the end of the tidying up, decide whether to take a photo of it and throw it away, or whether this is really important and I want to keep the actual item. For example, it’s a good idea to put a temporary box like this and look through all the things that remind you of memories. Okay. So , we’ve opened one box. We’ve already taken out an entire garbage bag. I’ve found some clothes again. Whose clothes are these? These are my clothes, but I’m saying goodbye to something I used often. I’d already carefully selected them on the first day, so I’m sure the clothes coming out from here won’t be a problem unless something really special happens. I’m sure I’ll find clothes, books, and other things as I tidy up from here on out, but I’ll just keep reducing them. The further I go, the more I’ll find things I’ve never used and things I’ll look at, but let’s try my best to reduce them. How old was it? I can’t remember, so it must have been a while ago. Sorry. If you can’t remember, just throw it away. Looking at them, I’ve also looked at my own health, and I think it’s completely different from what I have now, so we don’t have time to look back, so I’ll just keep the things I need now. A box of clothes appears. Well, it’s work, after all, Maru-san was taught there, so even if it doesn’t move forward, there are probably some memories of students attached to your work tools. This might be something teachers often experience. I shouldn’t need it anymore since I’ve stopped eating, but I feel bad for Suba because it’s a sacred bag that’s tied to memories of that time, so I’ll just use it as a garbage bag. It’s a woman , after all. That’s right. And I probably forgot it existed until I took it out just now. That’s right. I forgot about it for a while. It’s a waste, but it would be a waste to keep it taking up space, so I’m using it for unnecessary items. That’s right. In the end, I lost things and passed away, so I ended up with a strange accumulation of things, like buying new ones. It’s also a really wasteful way to spend money. It’s better to think that it’s a waste not to throw things away, but to think that it’s a waste to pay rent for unnecessary items. Like this living room, clothes would normally end up climbing up here, but well, if there weren’t unnecessary items here , it would be much more usable. Clothes should be able to run around without climbing up here, so I want you to think about why it’s a waste of space, but it’s only the third day, so the store is starting to look better. I’m getting better at throwing things away, so if I keep up the good work, I’m sure I’ll finish reducing it. I need things like coffee drippers that came out of here. If someone else had bought this one, they would have drunk it. So, I’ve opened up a space. Let’s keep going like this. I’ll also reduce this. I’ve been asked to reduce this for some reason, but it’s opened up another storage space. By the way, can I ask your mother about this? What do you think? Do you think you’d like to clean up the living room a little more? Well, I guess you mean in terms of cleaning up before you die or job hunting. Oh, since you live here all the time, it seems like she’s always saying things like, “It’s a little messy.” If that’s the case, I’d like to tidy up so that she doesn’t have to say it’s a little messy for your mother’s sake. When I hear that, I feel like I’m being rude, but I think that messiness makes me feel like I can’t relax, so I have no choice. But once I’ve reduced that, I’ll feel a bit more relaxed, and I won’t be told that anymore. After I’ve prepared, I’ll just say, “Okay, this is how it is.” In Fukuoka, where we live, you can collect large amounts of material from LINE . This initiative was the first of its kind in Japan , and I’ve introduced it in my previous videos. There’s a way to throw away material waste on LINE, and you don’t need a garbage ticket. Well, I actually use something like this. My files are all messed up, but there are signs that I’ve made efforts to reduce them in the past . On July 31st, I put out my garbage for 300 yen. It’s amazing. Well, that’s why Maru-san has been saying that he wants to weed the area, and he actually threw away a lot of things yesterday, but it’s precisely because he knows he needs to tidy up that it still feels a bit unsettling when people say that the situation is a bit messy . But the people are already in four days, so let’s stop this week. So I’m gradually reducing the amount, but I’ve casually noticed that Clothes-kun has more space to move around here, so he’s feeling a bit more relaxed. I’m steadily increasing the number of garbage bags, as if to give him more room to move around. And it seems that the male version of How to Build a Body That Can’t Live Without Eating is coming out endlessly. Maybe he bought a male. He bought a small threader. Even if he doesn’t have to hang up the information he catches, he can just rip them up and throw them away as soon as they come, or if he doesn’t let them pile up, there’s no need to do that in the first place. He moves them all at once, so he needs a shredder, but he tears them up frequently, and it’s kind of a pain to tear them up anymore, so he’s just going to put them away for now. I’m currently trying to hide everything in a paper bag. This process is getting tedious, and it’s piling up, so I’ve brought out the wiper and the floor is opening up. I’m also removing the mysterious kimono that was laying on the floor. The floor is visible now, and it’s super clean. I can see the signs of escaping the room. I have more time to wipe it with the Swiffer , and my clothes are happy. And I think it was the computer cable that came out. I’ve always wondered about Maru’s laptop, and he uses it for work, and he doesn’t know how to throw away his 20s computer, so it’s stuck there. That’s right . The one on the third shelf, the first one, is the one I’m using now. I was wondering how to throw away the bottom two . People ask me about computers so much that they’re number one on the list of things they don’t know how to throw away and are stuck there . Basically, you should reset your computer, remove any necessary data from it, and save it on a USB stick . There are small appliance collection boxes at electronics stores , government offices, and even local supermarkets, depending on the area. Some places will collect smartphones, tablets, and computers for free, even if they still have batteries. For example, where we live, we could look up the Fukuoka City ward small appliance collection box and drop them off there . We’ll also bring these in and dispose of them later . If you don’t know how to reset your computer or how to transfer data, or if all that seems like a hassle, you can just ask a company. Some local governments even have their own computer collection centers, so basically, just search for how to dispose of computers in your area and you’ll find information. I feel like I should have done the research, but I’ve been wasting my time. So, because you’re busy, I’ve been putting it off. And even after I’ve looked it up and figured it out, I’ll just say, “Okay, I get it.” I’ll do it later. There are a lot of options. By the way, this box contains the contents, so I think this person is someone who likes to give away lots of gift bags that they’ve been buying for over 10 years. Do they have that many opportunities? Thinking about it now, it’s not like that. Well, actually, even in places that aren’t captured on camera, I’ve been throwing away endless New Year’s gift bags and trash bags, and I have a whole bunch of them here right now, but what’s the buying process? First of all, you buy things even though you haven’t used them all. I think that as a result, the number of things that aren’t tidying up is increasing, but well, I bought something for a gift next time. Then, I think, oh, this might be better for that person, so I buy it again, or I bought something in advance but lost track of it and have to buy it again, and so on, and so on . I see. I see. Because you haven’t finished tidying up, you end up buying things endlessly again. Well, basically, it’s because you can’t manage it. But, like this box, and there are still quite a lot of things that come out endlessly. What do you think? I could just go through the whole thing. Shall we go? Let’s go. It’s a shame, but I feel like I have about 1,000 or 2,000 yen worth, but maybe I have about 10,000 yen worth. Maybe. That’s pretty expensive, isn’t it? I need to keep buying these kinds of things, otherwise I won’t see them fall off. Things like these greeting cards. They’re so cute. Or the stickers that come with them. These are so cute. I think they’re so useful. When I think something is cute, I go and buy some in advance. Do you sometimes give these to your students, showing them the end? I sometimes give letters to all my students, and these are the ones I bought as New Year’s soil bags, but I didn’t use them, thinking I’ll use them next year. So, it seems like the things I thought I’d use next year kept piling up, and now I have this. That’s right. I don’t write letters as much as I used to. I used to write them a lot, but it’s not just because I was busy. It’s also a hassle, so even if I buy a letter set that I like, I never use it all. This letter set doesn’t have a price tag that looks pretty reasonable, but it’s probably a few hundred yen. Basically, you can just buy it right before you give it to someone. It ‘s tiny, though. About 200 yen. Really? It ‘s 385 yen each, but I’ll go for it. If I don’t go here, that’s what happens. It’s aikido, so it’s about 1200 yen, but it really relieves the pain. Yes. But I feel so bad. If I don’t do that, I really won’t get this house, so I keep going. Yes. I recently bought this and thought, “I’ll tidy up,” and I’ll give it away, but everyone buys things in the name of tidying up. It’s no good. For example, I bought storage or a waterproof cover. Tidying up doesn’t mean shopping, after all. Well, if I reduced the amount of stuff I own in the first place, I wouldn’t need to buy these handy gadgets. That’s why I’m kind of ingrained in me. I’ve bought handy gadgets in the hopes of tidying up, and I’ve read books and learned, and I think I’ve done a lot, but it’s all about taking action. Just reduce it little by little and take the time to do it. That’s true, too. Do things that are important in a different sense. There are certainly things written here that are important in a different sense. The things that are truly important aren’t age, height, weight, phone number, job, salary, or grades, but things that can’t be reduced to numbers. That’s right. That’s why, just now, I threw away something that cost a few hundred yen, but it’s worth more than money. The experience of letting go is what hurts. It’s those things that keep popping up endlessly. I’m sure you’ve probably bought a lot of them from stationery stores like rags or rag shops , but how much is this? It ‘s also 385 yen. But this one’s unopened. I ‘ve seen so many people who can’t throw things away, especially with stationery . They enjoy buying and collecting things more than using them. Women, in particular, often have a hobby of collecting these things. Buying stationery is a way to relieve stress , and even if they buy something just because it’s cute, they end up buying it because it’s practical . It’s the same with masking tape . A lot of women buy and collect things like masking tape, but I’d like to see it sitting unused. Each piece is cheap, and as stationery, they cost just a few hundred yen each, so they’re affordable and easy to change. They’re practical, so I think I might use them someday, so I think I’ll buy a lot of them. That’s right. This one was also a local product, and even though it was 385 yen each, I think I threw away about 10,000 to 20,000 yen worth of stuff. So I’m going to get rid of this too. Important things can’t be quantified, so forget about how much you bought them for and don’t worry about it. On my channel, I say that people aren’t tempted because of sunk costs , but you perceive value in proportion to the money you’ve spent and the time you’ve saved, so it becomes harder to throw things away. But truly important things can’t be quantified, so they’re what we need right now. I want to keep shining a light on this moment so I can cherish it, but I’m worried about the new bag I’ve made. I need to prepare a few more for each price range I’ll be buying, just in case something unexpected pops up. However, after watching Maru-san for three days, I noticed that when he finds something he doesn’t need, he often gives a reasonable explanation. He says he needs to have it for each price range, or that he needed it because he needs it for this particular situation. While you might be right, his way of buying things is flawed to begin with. From his perspective, he’s thought it through carefully, and he might use it in that way, so I think everyone watching the video is probably surprised. It’s true that he didn’t buy too much, and in the end, his assessment was naive. He bought it, but it’s still unopened. If it was for a use, I’d understand . I think these 5,000 bags usually come in sets of 5 or 10, but since they’re all unopened, they’re probably not being used anyway. If you really need these, you can just buy them at a convenience store, so I sometimes use the bags I get when I go to weddings and wrap them up and take them with me. We’ll consider this as well. It’s a waste, but let’s rephrase that as “it’s a waste not to throw them away.” It’s not that it’s a waste to throw them away, it’s that it’s a waste not to throw them away. All right. So, this side is fully opened, so let’s move on to this side. This side is especially full of stuff, so I’ll keep opening it up. I’m not sure what kind of things might be here, but I guess it’s a bit of a gamble. Right. No, I can’t really think about it. That’s right. I think it’s a bunch of envelopes, piles of hair, and other things that were left around here. They just kept piling up and this mountain formed. And here, there’s a sacred bag from the Torimonomon gate, and here, and there’s a Niwakaseb, and it’s full of Fukuoka-style kalka, but what is this thing that came out of Chimiko? It’s a loan for winter. Oh, yes. I need this. I actually thought I didn’t need this, so I put it in here and left it here. It’s like it’s for sale, but from the looks of it, I don’t think it’s worth that much. Throwing things away, accumulating, losing weight, losing weight. Next up, there’s a collection of amazing human desires, like wanting to throw things away, wanting money, wanting to lose weight. And here’s an appendix with an amazing title. The title ” 3 Coins” is a title that sounds like a minimalist’s nemesis. Well, you know, when you go to places like 3 Coins, you can find a ton of cheap, cute, and useful items, so it’s popular. I’ve been to a lot of Daiso and 3 Coins products, so I guess houses with a lot of stuff are full of these. Yeah , it’s true, you just can’t help but buy them. They say it helps organize and store things. They’re convenient. But in the end, people don’t organize and store things properly, and things just keep piling up, and then there’s the emergency kit. You forgot it was here, right? That’s right. It’s so easy to forget, so it’s like a first aid kit, meaning it’s pointless, or rather, you forget it exists, so it’s useless. It’s similar to disaster prevention items, isn’t it? It’s true. I often use the phrase “food disaster prevention,” but I say I bought it for disaster prevention, but it’s messy, so I can’t get it out when I need it. Well, this has become like a food rescue box, too. Yeah. Oh, there are lots here too. Oh, that’s right. It’s a temporary emergency kit. It’s probably somewhere in the back of the real first aid kit, on the sealed shelf above Noborito, but here it is, but this place has also become a red-stained area. And I just happened to notice these colorful bags here. There’s a lot of clutter here , a bunch of jumbled old smartphones. Like the computer, I’ll reset the contents and take it to the small appliance recycling bin. The box for the one I’m using now is a bit cluttered. If that’s the case, I don’t need this. Right? Right. As for the smartphone I’m using now, I don’t need the box itself. Just the device itself is fine, and it probably comes with accessories like cables, like this. I don’t need this either. I haven’t used it much since I bought it, so I don’t think it’s causing any problems in my life. Plus, these spares are sold at 100-yen shops. If you want it for yourself, you can buy it at a convenience store, so I’m not worried about getting rid of it, and since you can basically sell it without the outer box, it’s fine to just throw it away. I recently bought an iPhone 17, but I’m going to throw it away, so it’s fine. By the way, today I’m going to be delivering 30 masks. Until yesterday, it was 1, but since the sneezing and runny nose won’t stop, I’m delivering 30 masks today. Once I’ve finished reducing the number of masks, I won’t need this one anymore, and I think I’ll be able to live with pride, so let’s do our best. I’m back to mail-order shopping again. How many times have I seen this? Basically, these arrive regularly. Oh, that’s right. Well, I guess I should probably cancel this too. Since they’re already arriving, they’re piling up and I have to throw them away. Going back to the flyers I mentioned the other day, I put “no handling” stickers on them to avoid receiving them. By the way, I’ve been tidying up for exactly 90 minutes now, and with all these garbage bags and storage, I’ve found a lot of unnecessary storage. I’ve tried various methods , but time flies by at an extremely fast rate. The reason is that I have so many things that I can’t waste even a second, and I’m worried I won’t be able to finish unless I reduce them, so I’m concentrating, and I think a lot of cables keep coming out , but when a cable comes out, don’t think about it. I just threw away the cable that was inside this, but basically, you should have enough cables for everyday use. So, your life will function whether you need more or less, so basically, when you find a new cable, it’s best to just get rid of it. I think that these days, most people, like Anker, have their favorite cables, so it’s okay to just throw away these accessory cables. Wait a minute. I just happened to see a 100-yen coin there, and I was lucky. Oh, really? I’ve saved up 100 yen. Reducing the amount of stuff you own will make you money. It’s all a cumulative effect, so don’t laugh at the 100 yen. But last month, I was also doing a tidying project for this YouTube project, and someone in Nagoya said they were lucky to find a pay envelope worth about 130,000 yen, even though they forgot about it. They said they had tens of thousands of yen, but I thought that there are people like me who do that, and sometimes when I pare down my belongings, that kind of luck happens, so I found a bunch of wallets. This one was a gift for my mother a long time ago. But it didn’t suit my needs, so I put it away, and I thought, “I should sell this one too.” I’m not sure what material it’s made of, but it was in my house unused, so I kept it, hoping to sell it, and now I’ve found it. It’s a bit of a keepsake, so maybe I should let it go. I’m really getting rid of things. I feel like I’d still have quite a few left over from a while ago, but I found a ton of batteries. Batteries are really tricky to dispose of. I have to take these to the recycling bin. And now, this one is covered in a lot of dust. So, the floor is gradually opening up. So, this was there, and I want to get rid of it, but what is it? Oh, yes. It’s a magazine rack, and I think my brother made it and drew illustrations on it when he was in kindergarten, and my mother has treasured it ever since, so I was wondering whether I should keep it or not. That’s right . In terms of storage purposes, I don’t really need it anymore. I really have plenty of other things to store without it. I think it’s just a simple memory. What about my mother, rather than me? Yes. I don’t care. That’s right. I don’t care. Well, I think it’s more important that this house is clean and tidy and that I can live in, so I’m getting rid of this too. I wonder what it is. It’s the cover of something, yes. Please be careful. The mirror is about to collapse. And there’s this rope to stop it from collapsing, so I have a ton of play appraisals here, but I think that when I finally throw it away, I’ll just leave it there even though I won’t use it again. That’s right. I’ve been telling people not to buy spray paint anymore, but even if I do use it, disposing of it is a pain. So, if you can’t use it all, you empty the contents, and then you can only throw it out with the household trash on the day of the Kato spray collection, so it tends to pile up. ” I’ll do it later.” “I’ll do it later.” Yeah. This part, well, it’s going to be homework. Well, to start with, I used to buy waterproof spray for bread, but recently I’ve started switching to plastic sprays. It’s important to think carefully about why you want to use it, including how you dispose of it after buying it. It really does tend to pile up, so you need to be careful. By the way, here, there are endless bags from Hakata Street Food, and what caught my attention was that there were fishing nets in them. They were kind of like they were brought back from a hotel. That’s right. I don’t know if they use the unused ones at the next hotel, but maybe they’ll be useful for disaster victims. Yeah, I think everyone keeps them, making excuses like they can be used for disaster prevention, but they’re unnecessary. Is this the last time I’ll use this? I can’t remember. It’s been over a year. Why did I forget about this? It’s something I’d use all my life, but it was already at the bottom of that pile. When I found it, I thought I might use it again. Basically, you’re probably already using the things you really need. You probably don’t use the things from the Gomune Mountain that appear first. If you really used them, you’d have taken them out. So, when I see them, I think I might use them for something, so I’m keeping them, and I’m gradually reducing them. I’ve thrown away so many street food bags that looking at them makes me want to eat one. Street food, you know? Locally, they’re basically for customers , so they’re so commonplace in Fukuoka that they’re for Oya, or rather, souvenirs, but after seeing them so many times, they start to taste delicious. I’m looking forward to the street food commercial. Yes. So, the floor gradually opened up, and finally, there was a mirror leaning against the wall, and a bunch of hanging clothes and hangers. Let’s go. So, I was wondering about this, but the reason for the string hanging here is, well, basically, it’s secured with string like this and folded and hung up like this. I think it’s hung up as a countermeasure against earthquakes, and I think it’s folded up and left up like this because they can’t let it happen in the first place, but I’m going to remove all of this. There are also hanging things like the God bag here. The idea of ​​hanging these up is probably what my mother came up with, so she could come over and quickly take out the God bag whenever she wanted, just like she wanted it. I don’t need any of this. I love those S-hooks. Families with a lot of stuff love S-hooks, so we hang them up. Right. Everyone is bringing things in to make effective use of every inch of space, so it’s like things are calling out to each other. This was the mirror. Mr. A did a lot of work on this, but take a look. It’s finally a standing mirror. You can see my whole body. Until now, I could only see half of my face from here, but now I can see my whole face. Rebound. It gets a little darker when you do that. Right. I think it will really brighten up the room. I’ll remove this for a bit. Yes. It’s standing. Just like Clara is standing. This mirror has nice legs. It has the ability to stand on its own, so this is enough. There are some things around here, so maybe I’ll put something inside. It’s moving. Yeah. Oh, exactly here. If we keep tidying up, I think we can put it somewhere else. Oh, that’s good. But when we get there, it’s really tidy. And it ‘s already been two and a half hours since we started tidying at noon. So, after two and a half hours, this place is clean. I think everyone’s a little tired, so I’ll take a break. So we’re taking a break, but in just a little over two hours, we’ve produced a ton of garbage bags, which reminds me of yesterday’s scene again. And this place is filled with things again. Well, I’ll get bored of this place later when I start throwing trash out into the courtyard, but there’s still so much to throw away, so let’s keep going . So, the break’s over, and we’ll move on to this space. The holes in particular look hardened, so I’ll start there. Oh, it’s coming out again. There’s more and more of this stuff, like plastic inside plastic. I see. This plastic also comes out of plastic, and a lot of plastic comes out of plastic. So it’s like a quantum leap in a plastic bag. Wow. I found something really cool. Jin’s purpose for attending the seminar: To tidy up all of his rooms and make them neat and tidy. Is this mine? Perhaps. Yes. Yes, from the study group. That’s me. If you sign up for LINE in the description section, we regularly hold study seminars. Well, recent ones include an introductory seminar on minimalism: Organizing your things, money, and digital devices in three months, and a women- only tidying seminar to help you break free from the habit of throwing things away . We connect via Zoom, and at those times, I ask people to write things like this, and I’m happy to see them actually putting it into practice . The goal written there was the seminar’s goal: To tidy up all of his rooms and make them neat and tidy . That’s great. To get my life back, including my work. I’d like to post my professional work. I want to carefully select the amount I spend. I want to live a clean, slang-free life. I want to take care of myself. It’s great that you want to eliminate time spent thinking about things. Spending so much like this means there’s room for growth, so that’s great. I want to eliminate time spent thinking about things . My thoughts are overflowing and my head is frozen, so I want to talk. Oh, look. I’m talking about this one outfit by 8 PM tomorrow. That’s right. At my seminars, I ask everyone to write down specific dates and times they can talk about. They also ask about the things they want or want to buy once they’ve let go of things and saved up some money, and they wrote that they want to go on a trip. And the cost of a trip to Ise is 300,000 to 500,000 yen, or a trip to Italy plus a trip . They write down specific details about where they want to go. That’s great. Yeah. We’re all writing out household budgets and things like that to organize our finances. I do this once a month, too, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone actually participate write something, so I’m happy. I also do it 34 hours a day, so if you’d like to study it and get your room organized, please apply using the URL in the description. My tidying videos often involve practical application, but I often share my thoughts, my teaching methods, and the mindset behind them in these seminars and study groups, so please join me in the description. It’s a bit strange to read it myself, but it’s really interesting, isn’t it? Yes. It’s not just about tidying up, but also about daily life based on my experiences . I don’t post it on YouTube, so I make it every time , but it takes me about two weeks. This is pretty serious, and it’s probably enough volume to buy a paid book, so I’m waiting for anyone who is serious about learning. I’ll leave the disposal up to you. Today’s video was tough, so I asked them to wait a moment so they wouldn’t forget. They said they’d keep it until they’d finished tidying for seven days, so I’m putting it up somewhere visible until they’re done. That’s great. Let’s accomplish everything written here. As you can see, what I wrote was just sitting here. I found that in this pile of trash, so it’s become a habit. Basically , you just fold whatever you’ve written into this place. Yes. So, when I arrived, the floorboards were opening up , and I was able to see this famous book. Well, Karen Kingst’s “Feng Shui Organizing Gate” is a longtime bestseller , and she wrote somewhere that reading it can change you, so I thought I’d give it a read, but after the first few pages, I thought, “This is fine for today.” That’s right. By the way, I read the first two pages and I thought it wasn’t interesting. It’s proof that it’s not for you, so don’t force yourself to spend time reading it. If you feel like it’s not interesting, I think it’s better to just say, “No, no.” The reason for this is that it might not be suited to your current stage. For example, if the content is too difficult, too simple, you already know it, or you ‘re not that interested in shapes anymore, or if your hand is calling out to you , then it’s a book that’s not for you. At that point, I think everyone thinks it’s a waste to buy it and read it to the end, but isn’t it a waste of time to force yourself to read it if it doesn’t suit you ? It’s the same with movies. Just like how if you don’t find something interesting, it’s better to quit halfway through so you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time, and with a movie, you don’t need to spend 2 hours on it, so if you don’t find it interesting, it’s not that it’s not interesting, or that it’s not for you, so you can judge it that way, but maybe in 5 or 10 years, when you have more free time or your interests have changed, you might find it interesting again when you read it, and with books, even if you feel like it, if you don’t like it, you can just sell it or get rid of it, and at worst, if you feel like reading it again, you can just change it. It makes more sense that it’s not for you at that stage than whether it’s interesting or not. Well, it also makes sense that it’s not for you. Well, it also includes the fact that you’re not up to par. I think, well, you’re probably a big reader, so you’ve read a lot of books up until now, and you threw one away yesterday, but I’m sure there are books that you haven’t gotten very far in, and you probably think of things like that while you’re reading. Oh, I know this one. I’ve heard of this before, and it’s fine. By the way, how about the idea that throwing away junk helps you see yourself? I’ve thrown away quite a lot of junk, but does anyone else relate to that? After throwing away things for three days, I realized that the things I thought were important and the things I thought I couldn’t live without were really junk. That’s right. I’m throwing away things like I’m an adult. It says here that you can see yourself, and I have been able to see. It’s not that the things themselves are junk, but rather that I’m meditating on my own existence and trying to somehow fulfill myself. Over the three days, my possessions have been tidied up, but inside, it feels like all sorts of emotions are stirring. Yeah. Amazing. So, just as the title suggests, you can see yourself. That’s why I’ve learned from the title of this book. There are surprisingly many books whose titles are everything, but I’m gradually reducing the amount of junk I have, as if to continue adding more and more, but since I’m from the Japanese generation, I feel uneasy unless I have a basic understanding of instruction manuals and guide maps. Oh, this one, or this Fukuoka City guide map, well, if it were me, I would have already found it, but, well, I’m sure I could find it if I looked it up online, but this kind of thing… Information, anyway. Even with that in mind, I don’t think I need it anymore, since it’s the one that this Suqou came from. But more than whether it’s paper or not, the things piled up in this trash are things I might use someday, or things I don’t need to use for a while, so they’re just piling up here. So, if it were me, I really don’t use anything in my daily life. I throw away everything I haven’t used in the last time . You know, people often say, “You wouldn’t have any problems if you didn’t have it.” So, I often say you can live without it, and that’s exactly what’s true with the stuff here. I probably wouldn’t even look at it if I were here. On the other hand, I probably do scrutinize the things I use on the dining table, because there’s a good chance I still use them, but if I were at my parents’ house, I probably could get by without looking at this stuff. I probably wouldn’t have any problems if I didn’t have it. The fact that I’ve been able to live without it for five or ten years is proof that I don’t need it anymore. Right, right. So, I think this is included, too. The things that pop up there are probably things that are memorable, and I’m sure there are photos popping up here and there, but if I hadn’t talked about them, they would probably have lain dormant without ever being remembered or even remembered, so anything particularly important would definitely be sleeping here. Also, as the things here seem to be getting thinner and thinner, I think my thoughts are switching. Oh, this is it. It’s to prevent tile damage, right? That’s right. It feels like an air tag, and this is unsealed, right? Yes. I bought it because I thought I might need it. I’ll buy it. I’ll put this unsealed on Amazon. They say you put it in your wallet or something so you don’t lose it, but you know why you lose it, right? Yeah. This is one of those things that you end up buying but can’t get the hang of. Oh, well, let’s throw this away too. It’s been sitting here unused for years, so I’m not going to use it. If I don’t buy anything else, I’ll probably end up buying a few of these. Yes. It’s quite expensive. I think it cost about 23,000 yen. This was also a waste of money. There’s a lot of stupidity here. Reducing things means facing your own stupidity, so I think there were a lot of sighs here. So, are you tidying up? His clothes have fallen asleep. He’s fast asleep under his mother’s arm. He must be tired. The floor is open, and the contents of the paper bag at the entrance are scattered everywhere. Newspapers and stuff are falling out. I don’t need them. I don’t need them. I don’t know how many times I’ve done this, but there are so many newspapers in the street. I guess he kept these as souvenirs. I see. So, this is from the time of the new language. Yes. When this new language was announced on YouTube, I said, “It’s a pain to change the language, why don’t we just use the new calendar?” and it got a lot of attention. It’s Japanese culture, and now it’s Reiwa 7, and we’re nostalgic for it, so it’s been here for seven years. Yes. So, the floor is slowly opening up and becoming clean, but I’m also suffering from dust mites, so I’ve been wearing a mask since I was 30, and I’m wondering if I should buy one . Do you know the reason for the #1 “D”? Well, it’s because I haven’t tidied up yet, right? That’s right. And, as I’m steadily cleaning up the room so that the dust mites aren’t visible, it really has become brighter. The room is amazing. I’m looking forward to it. And, thanks to Maru’s hard work, the piles are slowly disappearing here too. It’s wonderful. Mom is happy, too, because there’s a lot of hair. I think about 80% of this was stuck in there. That’s right. Papers and other things I thought I wouldn’t need. There are so many things I don’t need because of the dust mites. That’s right. Okay, so finally, I’m done. So, I’m going to blow the floor clean with a quick wiper. Let’s go live a life where there are no lost items and no things to look for so that dust mites never appear again. It’s scary, isn’t it? I guess my senses are negating it. Living with all this garbage is normal. Looking at this objectively , yes, that’s true. Well, if I were to give an objective opinion, it would be impossible to live in my condition, and I know that not only I but everyone else watching feels the same way , which is why I think it took a lot of courage to appear on YouTube. It might be a bit strong to say that I’m able to live a normal life as a human being, but of course, I do live in this area, and compared to the real garbage houses, there’s a huge amount of garbage and the smell is terrible, so basically, my senses are numb, and I often use the phrase “if you do it, you’ll be shocked” in this video , but I think there are things that are okay to run away from and things that you shouldn’t run away from . For example, I ran away from that black company, but I don’t think you should run away from reducing the amount of stuff you own. Everyone runs away from reducing the amount of stuff they own and turns to things like physical therapy, but ultimately, that also reaches a limit at some point. I haven’t been organizing or reducing the amount of stuff I own, so my room is getting smaller and smaller, my storage is overflowing, my house is getting messier, and I can’t keep track of where everything is. So, if I don’t reduce the amount of stuff I own at some point, it’ll end up like this. When I say “don’t run away,” I think the first thing that comes to mind is the words of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. He tells me not to run away in his fight with Rengoku, the man who refuses to run away. Anyway, I think we shouldn’t run away from reducing the amount of stuff we own. The longer we put it off, the more irreversible the situation will become, so now is the time to do it. So, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Ohno-san, and I think he’s been saying things like, “Don’t run away,” and there were scenes on TV where he said, “You can’t run away anymore.” I feel like the current social climate is like, “When the president was in his first year of high school, there was a lot of debate about work-life balance, but I feel like people these days are starting to feel like, “We need to work harder, or we’re in trouble.” I think there ‘s been a feeling recently, especially among Generation Z and the Yuri generation, that they should live at their own pace. I feel like there’s been a period in the last few years where high-minded people have been getting a bit of a backlash . I wouldn’t go so far as to say that people who work hard are a bit lame, but I think people have started to look at them with a bit of coldness, like, ” It’s winter, isn’t it?” Finally, I feel like there’s a growing sense in Japan that if things continue as they are, we’ll continue to decline, and that we need to work hard to improve our lives. So I feel like 2026 or so will see another boom in hard work. This is just my gut feeling, but I think we should fight without running away, or at least it’s not surprising that an era of physical education accounting-like fading is coming . I wonder who the YouTuber is. Hiroyuki- san and others were a bit of a counterpoint to the high-minded, “let’s live a relaxed life” type . It feels like we’re heading into an era of high-mindedness, so I’ve deviated from the “don’t run away” talk, but let’s work hard without running away from reducing our possessions. And as a result of my hard work, this opened up. It’s a bit of a hurdle. I’ve removed everything that was on the floor. Okay. So, there’s a ton of garbage bags out again, and it feels like there’s no room to move, so I’m going to take them out again in the courtyard. It won’t go away unless I take it out. It’s a horrible scene. Okay. So, it’s already 4:15 PM, sorry. I had to take a little over an hour off for a meeting with Mr. Zeitatsu , so I’m going to resume work on that now , but the floor space is now large enough for Maru-san to sit down. Until just now, it was covered in piles of junk and I couldn’t sit down, but the floor space is finally expanding steadily, so I’ll work on that next. I’m going to clear out this whole place. There are clothing cases and shelves , so I’m going to clear it all out. It’s amazing. Wait, something amazing is happening. Clothes couldn’t fit in there before. It’s proof that we’ve reduced our belongings. The more the clothes can move, the more I realize how much we’ve reduced. So , I removed all the shelves over there, and I’m going to get rid of everything. I’m going to get rid of this and take everything out too. So, now that I’ve completely reorganized the storage, I ‘m going to start re-evaluating this place as well. The smartphone outer boxes I mentioned earlier have already been completed, so we’re currently having them deal with this, and we’re thinking of getting rid of a few things here, so is it okay to remove them for now ? I’m sure you can’t imagine what that will be like. I wonder if we can do without this jar, but I wonder if this is the one we need. On the other hand, I wonder why we could just throw away the contents. Originally, most of the things in this jar are unused, so we’re going to take everything out. By the way, if we could get rid of this and make the space bigger, would you want to get rid of it? That’s right. Maru-san, I’d go for it. If we reduce this area, it’ll probably be a lot easier to move around. That’s right. Well, it’s close to the garden, after all. So, let’s try and move this a little. Me too. And the hair bag is in the gap, Fumiki-ji. All right. Clothes can now fit in the gap. There’s some space now. Clothes are probably in this drawer, so I’m thinking maybe they’re keeping important documents and such, but can you explain it clearly, like this on the first shelf, this on the second shelf, etc.? I can’t be specific, but as you said, I basically put in important things like books that shouldn’t be lost, and remove some of the old stuff. Even the old stuff . Well, of course, you should keep the most recent items, but for example, if you look here, you might see that there’s a toothbrush here, so you probably don’t need most of it. So, I’m going to try to pull out those important things and gradually reduce this area as well. Here are some photos , and there’s a family photo like this. What kind of memento is this? Hey, it’s a dinner party when Meiko went to college. Oh, I see. By the way, is this an important photo you want to keep? Yes. If so, it would be a waste to have all those important things all jumbled together here, so you probably forgot about their existence so you could find them easily. That’s right. I forgot I had them here, and I was probably worried about losing them because it was a really busy time, so I put them here so I could escape. That’s the cycle . So, I think I’ve roughly formed the shape of my head here, but I think I’ll have to look for it, but in the future, let’s rescue the important things so I can look back at them easily. There’s also a memory of Yanagawa, a famous river in Fukuoka, and there’s a nice photo of you and your mother. You’re both young, about 15 years ago. Will you keep this? Well, I guess. It’s not really a big deal, but it’s a bit of a nostalgia thing, so I’m keeping the important things . Yes, come over a bit. I don’t want to throw away anything important, so I got my smartphone, brush, and clothes, so I’m basically just doing this for the trash. Yes. So, I’ve finished going through these boxes, and all three of these are shells, and this is all I needed. It’s actually fine, isn’t it? I’m getting rid of this. Yes. Moving on, I’ll continue with that. These things are here, so do you have a general idea of ​​what’s in here? Roughly. I have n’t figured it out yet. I don’t think I need much of this stuff anymore, so I’m just going to get rid of it. Oh, that ‘s actually this thing. I threw it away earlier, but I have an infinite number of anti-loss tags, but I’ve lost them, so that ‘s true. I’m in a situation where I have to start over and buy new ones. I wonder how much this costs? I’ll look it up, but I think it’s probably around 3000 yen. This one’s unopened, right? And yes. It’s unreturned and sealed. What a waste. A lot of things come out of places like this. I think this was postal food. This is the most recent box I bought because I thought it was cute. Does it have any money in it? No, it’s just an ornament. Oh, there’s another important-looking photo here, my mom is blowing it up. My clothes went over there. When I arrived, there was a garbage bag out there saying they’d tidied up, but look. This is a ball. I wonder why something like this is here. I’m just guessing, but I think she needed to take it off, and it didn’t fit in her wallet, so she just put it there for the time being, and my mom put it in this box just in case she lost it. I think it’s probably worth about 50 yen. I’d like to feel lucky to have found some money. That’s right. Even 50 yen would be a bargain, but it’s not a very exciting amount. Sorry, it’s not 50 yen, there are about 50 of them, so it’s probably worth about 500 yen, but yeah, I’m happy, a little. Yes. So, it was completely opened up. It was almost completely unnecessary. Okay. So, we’ve created enough space here for Maru-san, but today, I’d like to leave these two behind, so, here’s my idea: when I was thinking about how to use the space in this living room , I decided to get rid of these two. The Wi-Fi and TV cables are connected there, so I’ll move everything around here over here . That way, I can temporarily place the TV area above the bay window, and I don’t think I need these two , so I’ll just go ahead and set everything out . You can also take out everything here, including the decorations. You can think about what to decorate later . I’ll leave it all bare for now. There are all these things here that look like they would go with some really nice clothes, but I’ll leave them all bare for now. A shell postbox came out. It’s just trash. Some trash had fallen into these decorations. This is the set up. Oh. It also appeared underneath, and that cable wiring is really bothering me. I temporarily stuck it all together with some duct tape. This space is probably full of stuff we don’t need anymore . It’s pretty dusty and a lot of stuff fits in here, but please get rid of anything you don’t need anymore. Oh, I thought the eraser was missing, but it looks like they put it back here. I’m glad they found that important eraser. So, I’m getting this space cleaned up, and now they’re blowing it up. And then another garbage bag came out, and it’s like, wow, this place is almost completely clean. It’s a bit strange, and it’s the first time in decades that it’s this clean. Yes. That’s right. Well, actually, I’m only here for a little while, so I’ll put some of the really important things back. Actually, I feel like if it was this clean, it would actually make me want to wear clothes. Up until now, there’s been a lot of clothing items here, and it feels like I might wear clothes, but I don’t. Yeah. And today’s final boss. Maru-san opened up this space a bit. It’s touching. This is what we were talking about earlier. I’ll put this all away for now. It was probably the only one I had. I kept this tray. Ah, I see. Even after me, I don’t really need this anymore. Well, it’s been in the Akazuma for many years. Well, it’s not supposed to be anything important. I-I treat it like this. Yeah. They probably thought it was important and fixed it, but even after it became the Akazuma, yes. It’s strange for a soul to be here, after all. It ‘s 23 years. 2023. It’ll give me a fever. This is Osechi no Shita, and it’s so clean, I think my mother kept it, thinking it might be useful. It’s okay. This is goodbye. It’s a mysterious potato, and I don’t know what it is. And this is the mysterious cardboard box from Kuroneko Yamato’s table tennis mailing. Oh, my mother probably wanted to fix it up nicely, and to me, it’s a candy box I’ve had since I was a child. It says “wedding anniversary” here, and it was a gift from my parents’ wedding anniversary. It really does give you a sense of the era. When I see something like this, I want to keep it. Right. Well, I kept the one I just mentioned, but throwing something so important that I wanted to keep it in here means that if I hadn’t come and opened it, I probably would never have thought about it again. They’re probably things I’d forgotten existed. So I wonder if those things are really that important. I guess I should take a picture. That’s right. I recommend taking a picture and letting it go. That’s right. Well, I think it’ll be hard to remember when you look at it, so I’ll take a picture later. This has a really nice, civilian-made scent, but it’s okay. It’s okay . Well, that’s true. It’s important to be aware of the energy of the past. You mentioned the energy of the past, but what do you think? I think you’ve probably read a lot of books about shipping. Haven’t you been taught not to be pulled by things from the past? That’s right. Aren’t you attached to the past? Is it like there’s energy in this and that’s pulling you in the opposite direction? That’s right. It’s actually true. Because everything here is attached to the past, and that’s what’s remained. It’s piled up and became this room, so I think it’s better to open it up and make it airy for shipping purposes. That’s good. It’s opening up little by little. Oh, a whole garbage bag is about to come in. One came out. So, this is what I got, but it’s an old sewing machine, so I think it’s a little heavy. It has pedals. Oh, this is a sewing stand. Okay, two of us need to do this. All right. It ‘s really hard, isn’t it? Okay, so I carried it over there. And here I felt a wonderful sense of freedom. We’ve done it. This is actually so spacious. Do you think this ring is spacious? I’m at a loss for words. When I moved into my new house, I thought it was so spacious. So, it’s been over 20 years since I last lived here. But I’ve just cleared out all the things that have accumulated over the past 20 years in less than two hours, so it’s really just a matter of whether I do it or not . Well, I’m sure there were a lot of things here that I’d been worrying about for a long time, but they’re gone now. I think I’ll just carefully select a few of the things that were on display there . By the way, when you were asked to carefully select, was there anything that you absolutely wanted to display? This one was cute, so I brought it. But from what I’ve heard, there probably aren’t that many. When I heard that, I thought, “This is it.” That’s right. I think it’s okay to try living a different life without overhauling everything. Since I was taking things out so quickly, I’m going to wait and see for a while, throwing them away if it doesn’t cause any problems. Okay. So this place is so much cleaner. What do you think? It’s so clean, I’m a little surprised. It’s amazing. It’s already been cleaned up so much in just one day, it’s spacious. A lot of people could actually fit in here. I think Mommy’s a little more unsettled now. By the way, I shelled that place, but that means a ton of unnecessary items have come out here. Like the shelf I mentioned earlier, and this too. And a ton of garbage bags too . I’m not sure what’s going on, but we really threw out a lot . It’s been 78 hours straight, so I think she’s a little tired. The clothes are happy. I’m sure it’s spacious. Speaking of spacious , I’m currently building a closet here, but actually, I have a simple clothes rack over here, so I ‘m going to use that. I’m going to use this to hang up the clothes over there for now . Well, this is a one-off corner, so I’ll come back to it next time. Okay. So, that area is temporarily gone, and I ‘ll just gather the clothes here for now. Next time, once I’ve tidied up that area a bit more, I’d like to make a closet there. So, why aren’t clothes hanging here in the first place? It looks so nice when it’s in its shell. You worked hard. We finished up again today , well, 8 o’clock. I took a break for a meeting, so we actually spent about 7 hours tidying together today. Good work. Thank you. So, today is the third day of tidying up, so good work. Good work. This is the third day in a row of tidying up, and then I’ll take a break and then the fourth day, so there’ll be a gap between days. Well, I’d like to hear your thoughts after spending a bit more time in this empty space. And next time, on the fourth day, it’ll be over here. I’ll be reducing the areas like the kitchen that aren’t finished, so please look forward to it. Thank you. Well, good work. Thank you. Just an announcement.

I got bored after two days, so I left the kitchen to you for a bit last time, so I’ll call it a day today. So, wow, wow. So, a ton of dishes from the kitchen. Are you really going to get rid of all of this? Yes, it is. Wow, it’s amazing. So, this is the kitchen I assigned last time. Oh, there are some here too. Not just here, but here too. All of these dishes are actually unnecessary. Amazing. For those watching the video, it’s probably like they’ve warped back in time, but you’ve really taken out a lot. Since you’ve really reduced it, I’ll point out a few things that I noticed, but you’ve also taken out quite a lot of dishes, frying pans, pots, and other cooking utensils. That’s right. With so many unnecessary items, this space must have opened up a lot, right? That’s right. It’s pretty empty. I think this space is the biggest. It feels like it’s open up a lot. Leave more. Wow, it really is for two people plus. But if you reduce it as much as possible, it becomes much neater, and here too, you’re right, there’s only enough to actually use, so maybe you’re not even using this for food, right? Y-That’s right . Um, oh. Yes. Maybe they’re using it for things like setting up for the New Year holidays. Yes. Oh, starting from here. This space has also decreased a lot. In the past, my family would come over and we’d all have meals, celebrations , and New Year’s gifts, but now it’s not like that, just me and my mom, plus a few more, so I think it’s a bit more reassuring. Looking at this, it seems like it could be reduced even without me, but I was like, ” No , no … Also, by the time I got there, they were carrying the clothes to the garbage dump, so they’ve been working really hard while I was gone. I’m getting rid of the thing I mentioned the other day, and the garbage dump staff said, “You were wearing that earlier, weren’t you?” I’ve been cleaning out a lot of houses, and people always remember me. “Here we go again.” I think I’ll be able to show them off. I’ll go to that flea market. So, I’m going to take this to the garbage dump again, and I’m going to take out the household trash on the same day, so I’m wrapping up all these dishes now so I can take them out. How’s that? I haven’t been using them lately, but now that I think about them, it’s kind of hard to let them go. I’m like, “No good, I haven’t used them, so I’m doing it right.” I have these dishes, so I’m feeling nostalgic for probably 20 years’ worth of dishes . This is a commemorative gift I received when I was with the Hawks in 2003. Our Fukuoka Hawks won the Pacific League championship in 2003, so we’re in the midst of our climax season. So, this is, well, taking out the trash is a pain. Reducing possessions includes taking out the trash, so it’s not just about deciding what you need or don’t need, but also about getting it out. It’s a bit daunting to think about. You really have to think about it that much when you shop, and there are things like that, but if I were to pass away and leave all this stuff behind, who would do this work ? I’m currently visiting various people’s homes, and one of them, who I’m visiting next month, said he’d visit me on YouTube, but the day after our meeting, he was rear-ended by a car. He’s 25 years old, and he was shocked at the time, saying he was young at 25 and had small children , so he shouldn’t put it off. You never know what’s going to happen. I might be in trouble later, but I’ll try to reduce my expenses so I don’t have any regrets, no matter what happens. My cardboard boxes are packed like a cow. So, the sorting is finished for now, and they’re gone, but something’s bothering me. This is a cutting board, but I ended up not using it, and it’s a small cutting board, so I think I’ll get rid of that too. I’m saving up that money. It was a good price, but I’m thinking of throwing it away. Well, you’re not using it, right? Yeah . You were conflicted. That’s good. There’s still more to look at, so I’ll keep doing that. Okay. So, once you’ve finished sorting this, you ‘ll find more unnecessary things, like a cutting board, and you’ll start noticing more and more of these unnecessary things. So, this is a completely random thought, but I thought it might be okay to reduce the amount of things we have a little , so I think I could reduce this. These dishes, this one. It was sparser than I expected, so if I were you, I’d get rid of this cupboard . And, I think there was originally a table here. If I replaced it with this and just put this and this here, I think the entire shop here would fit. If I got rid of this, I think the space would be much larger, and cooking would be easier. I recommend this, but shall we go? After I tidied away and only this was left, I thought maybe a lower cupboard would be better. You ‘re right. It’s pretty bare, and this one is open, so let’s go. Right. It’s a little hard to put this away, but for now, let’s help get it out of here. Yes. This is quite a big item. I think it’s the biggest item we’ve put in, but if we reduce this, it will make this kitchen much easier to use, so let’s do our best. My mother is worried right now. She’s watching over us from behind as the items are getting fewer and fewer, and she looks worried about Fuku-chan disappearing. Well, let’s just get it out for now. I didn’t want to throw this away, so I’m glad you worked so hard to reduce it. From a minimalist perspective, I’ve seen all kinds of minimalist homes, but they definitely don’t have any food-related items. This stuff is disgusting, takes up a lot of space, is big, and is dangerous, so I’ll shell it all and say this is all I have, so I’ll use the shell to check the items on top. By the way, if you look closely, there are quite a few different features, and there’s this, right? Oh, there’s this real object, gold. It’s not gold. Oh, good. It’s fake. It’s like a real object, isn’t it? Look, let’s just do the top and bottom. If you don’t know, you won’t know. The top part is real. Oh, that’s right, I thought it was real, but the part below is fake. So, I’ll collect this as well. Thank you. Okay, so I’ve finished everything, so I’ll do my best to carry it. Okay, I’ll push it a bit, so you can pull it. I’ll move it with a feeling. It seems to be working, so I’ll take it out of the courtyard. It’s a big job, but with a blanket and something like this, even two people with little strength like us could do it easily , so I’m really happy. YouTube Market First: Taking out the trash in the courtyard. If my YouTube views drop and I can no longer make a living as a minimalist, maybe I’ll open a local general store. It’s about as spacious as it gets, and it was lying behind the sink. It’s been decades since I’ve seen it. The floor space is so spacious. And there’s even evidence of a cupboard being placed here. I just looked down at all the things that’ve piled up over the years. Wow, this feels nice. But I really only managed to get this here thanks to Maru-san letting go of so much of his appetite. I bet cooking will be fun from today onwards, don’t you think? That makes me feel better. I guess cooking at home is too hectic and unsettling. Today, Yamanaka made this motsunabe (hot pot) and left it there. Wow, I’m craving motsunabe. Yamanaka’s delicious, isn’t he? Yeah, that’s right. Okay, so I brought this. This is enough. Even with this, it’s still plenty spacious. You could easily fit a microwave or something in here. Amazing. I could fit it in. I could fit it in. We had planned to stack everything on top of me if we couldn’t fit everything in, but we managed to fit everything in. With plenty of room to spare. We were able to fit everything in with ease. Amazing. Amazing. And since this side is open, we put the original dishes in there. It’s amazing, it’s all in order. We realized this was so spacious, so we started putting dishes and other things in the open space . Well, I think this is a good place. We’re putting more and more dishes in this open space, and in terms of where to put what, we’ll put lighter things like Jupiter’s on top and fragile things at the bottom. After all, it’s dangerous if something breaks, so we’re putting more and more into the open space. While we were organizing the dishes, our clothes were all scattered around. It’s good that we have more floor space now. Yes . So we removed the cupboard that was here, opened this up, and packed all the dishes here. There’s not enough. Accidents can be fatal if something breaks. That’s dangerous. It only took one clothes can. Yes. And so, all the dishes we need are neatly stored like this. Amazing, they’re all gone. This is for coming here. This is for things I use often, so it’s easy to access, so I no longer need to put them on top, and I no longer need the dishes here. It’s a huge change. It’s spacious. I think it’s so much easier to cook. Indeed. Yes. I honestly couldn’t do it alone. Well, it’s amazing, it’s free. Well, there’s still a lot to be done around there, but the front part has opened up so nicely. Good job. You’re sitting still. Yes. It’s spacious, so this place has been tidied up quite a bit, including this one. So, after five days of tidying up, the living room is now this clean . There are no more cupboards here. Well, we still need a little more time to reduce the clutter around here, but we have a little time, so let’s go to the storage room over there next. It’s already 6pm and it’s completely dark, but let’s go. This is the place I’ve been putting off until now. This house won’t be clean unless I tidy up here, so I’ll open it up. Let’s go here. First, I’ll take this group. Got it. So from here on out, it’s the real thing. The past five days have been practice, so… From here on out, it’s the real thing. I’ve taken down the curtains here, but let’s take down this door too. Well, I’ll take it down. It’s spacious. Oh. That’s insane. Hey, it ‘s twice as long as YouTube. With the door open, it feels so liberating. And here’s what the back looks like. Oh, there are cupboards here, and no matter how much I reduce the number of dishes and shelves, they keep appearing. I’ll have to reduce these too. Probably not. It’s not raining, so that’s okay. I’d already forgotten they existed. Right? Oh, this is getting pretty difficult. The only word I can say is amazing. I’m standing there, stunned. Well, I was originally supposed to work seven days this time, but at this rate, I won’t be able to finish in time. Um, both the next one and the next one are two days. So, is the storage room for the shellfish above still similar to this? Well, there are two. Well, if we keep going at the same pace , we definitely won’t finish, and until I come back next time, you ‘ll have to work on some homework, like in the kitchen. The reason I said it won’t be finished now is that , honestly, I think it’s best not to look at this area too much. Up until now, I’ve been leaving things I didn’t need behind as I went about my daily life , so I think there were still a few things, but I think this area is practically trash now. Since I’m treating it like that, I don’t think I’ll be done unless I stop looking at it and just throw things away. So, shall we use that key? Okay. I’m hungry, so let’s go. From here on, it’s all work. Let’s make good use of the 100 garbage bags we bought. I once saw a TV show about people who live alone in rooms like this, and I thought it was pretty amazing at the time, but I never imagined that a few years later, I’d end up in a place like this . It’s something you only see on TV. I never thought I’d become involved in something I’d seen on YouTube , thinking it was just someone else’s words. That’s right. It ended up being a real garbage dump, like they just put it there to attract customers. And there’s a ton of paper bags and stuff in here too, and it’s just going to keep getting better from here. As I clean up, I’m sure I’ll think of things like nostalgia and memories of drinking something like this. So I’ll just keep going. I’m going to step on this. Yes. Step on it. Be careful. Don’t sprain your ankle. Yes . Let’s take a commemorative photo, it might become the thumbnail. So, I’m going to take a commemorative photo, maybe it’ll become the thumbnail. So, I’m going to take a commemorative photo of that YouTube. I’m so sorry, this is my first time at the market, I bought my own slippers and brought them with me. I’m a little sorry, but they’re a little icy. If I don’t do this, for example, there’s a seating chart, but I’ll keep looking at things like this. Also, the view from the God of Street Food is like this, with people opening up the garbage bags one after another. This is amazing. By the way, from here, there are books like this, and some dolls, and family photos, and I’d like to rescue that clothes rack. If I do that, I can make Maru’s closet, so I’d like to do my best to salvage that clothes rack . Also, as you can see, there’s nothing but cardboard boxes, and over there are Amazon boxes and probably unused water boxes and autumn boxes . And then, behind me, there’s a closet, and I think this is a different item. There are what look like Dad’s suit and jacket here . That’s basically the front view of this room. I’m standing on the garbage . It’s an incredible sight. I asked Korema to climb up a little . We’ve made an advance. What do you think? I went to bed. Yes. I was a little shocked at myself for thinking that after about five years of having customers come in every day and being crammed in, this is what it would become. This was originally a bedroom, but over the past five years, customers have been throwing things in as they ate, and now it’s become like this. On the other hand, I ‘ve been able to live without this for five years, so I’ll just keep throwing things away. And I’m drawing this on top of this pile of trash. This might be the thumbnail for my YouTube channel. It looks like this is the first time I’ve taken a thumbnail from a pile of trash instead of a trash bag. Yes. My biggest worry is that my friends, teachers, and peers would be shocked if they saw it. Well , I guess that’s true. But now that I’ve exposed it this much, I’m not afraid anymore. That’s true. And I often say this, but I think people who are able to show their weaknesses are incredibly strong. It’s like how professional athletes start out, still not very good, and they call it a practice match, but then they get beaten up and get stronger. I can’t find the words to express myself. Even in this YouTube video, I’m not really able to find the words. It seems like the energy is all garbage . Right. I’m strangely accustomed to this energy, so it doesn’t feel strange, but for Shibu-san, who’s in a relaxed mood, it feels a bit strange. I feel like I’m feeling all sorts of things, like my usual coolness isn’t coming out, and I can’t even come up with the famous lines that sell me so well. My thoughts are all over the place. I ca n’t find the words to say, so I’ll just do it. All I can do is talk. Actions are better than words. I finally understand the feelings of the garbage and sanitation workers. They’re doing this, after all. I think they’re already doing this when they say, “We don’t need this chair room, just load it all up in a truck and dump it .” By the way, it’s about 6:30 right now. I’ll be working until 9pm today, so I’ll try my best to see how much I can reduce it in the next two and a half hours. There are quite a few unusual items in this space, so I’m sure they’re causing trouble. There’s a book about procedures to follow when a family member disappears, and there have been a few thieves and such. I wonder if a book that shows some evidence of learning at that time will be released. It’s getting absorbed into the eyes. I was originally using a 30mm mask, but even a 30mm mask can easily penetrate. So I’m using a variety of masks and up to 50mm. It’s hard to breathe right now, but what’s worse, my nose and allergies are bothering me here. Oh. This leather bag contains a ton of toothbrushes, gum, chocolate, and other items, all from Hokkaido and other countries. Can you see it ? The floor is opening up a little. These are the jackets that my mother worked so hard to fix, and I wondered where they ended up. They’re here. They ‘re here, but I’m going to throw them away. There are 12, 3, 4, 5 types of masks. It’s winter already, and it’s already the lowest temperature, but it’s still just as hot as usual. It’s really amazing. A ton of stuff comes out, but I’m just throwing it away. I found a pillow. Apparently it was used as a bedroom, so there’s evidence of that in the tons of clothes. Wow. So, the floor is starting to become visible, and Maru can stand up. How does it feel after about 30 minutes? I’m at a loss for words. At myself. That’s true. I’m just blindly reducing the amount of stuff to the point where I’m at a loss for words. But I’ve only been able to do this because of all the things I’ve accumulated up until now, so I’m sure as I reduce things, I’ll be thinking back to who I was back then. Even though they’re things from the past, and they’re basically old, I ‘d like to take a nap on my albums. What kind of albums are they? Records of my kindergarten. Like kindergarten sports day. Chibi Maruko-san is in them. But even those important things are buried under this trash. That’s right. It feels like they’re all close at hand. I’ll just keep going, feeling my way . As Shibusa says, even important things are being born, and seeing this situation makes me feel like my mind is in turmoil, or rather, not in order. It really makes me realize that if you’re not used to the feeling of cherishing important things, this is a time when your mind is truly in turmoil. That’s right. Well, I think there were things like work and your father’s death, and things like that, behind the scenes, so let’s start producing now. You still have a long life ahead of you, so it would be a waste to spend it in this messy house. And, you know, Ma-san, you were really determined to do it. People are really annoyed with the kitchen this time, but you’ve got the switch turned on, and you’re the type of person who can work hard, so I think you can easily reduce the clutter here too. Thanks to Shibusa-san. No, no, I’m happy I can walk alone. The hallway is a mess again with all the books. And Na-chan and the living room have become a garbage dump. Thank you for your hard work. I’m sorry. I’m just sitting here for a bit, and I’ll clean up properly later, so this is just a temporary shelter. Basically, there’s trash here and they’re throwing it away over there . I’ll do my best for my clothes. I bought some green juice online, but it’s supposed to be best before 2021, so it just fits in with the fact that this room took about five years to complete . Oh, so much. Food labeling lies. A day together. Life is four relationships. This is intriguing. Today’s health. A healing coloring book. They say the exit doesn’t lie, but even though it becomes trash, it really shows what kind of life Maru has lived . There are traces of what he’s learned so far. Amazing. There were books piled up here , probably placed to avoid getting them dirty, and oh, you see, the calendar is neatly placed, Cinderella-like fit. It’s easy to see why they probably didn’t want to throw it away , but I understand that feeling. Ah, I agree. It’s a pain to disassemble and throw away these huge cardboard boxes full of styrofoam, so I guess that’s why they’re just dumped here, yeah, that’s right. So, I’ve been throwing them away one by one, and the Polysenol Green Juice I threw away earlier is here too, and it has a shelf life of 2021 yen. It was December, so it’s probably two months away. Maybe it came as a subscription? Yeah, that’s right. That’s right. You can already tell from the expiration date. He’s really saying it all. And Maru-san is speechless, too. I’m exhausted and speechless too, so I understand how he feels. Well, it’s my own trash, so I still feel a bit self-conscious, but I’ll join in. Oh, I guess I’m just like, “I’m going to make this a funny topic on YouTube and get a few views.” It’s going to get a few views. Right? The fact that it’s circulating so much means it’s relatable, and it’s encouraging a lot of people, so I hope it gets a lot of views. That ‘s true. I don’t think there’s any other video that can help anyone with reducing so much, so if you’re in a similar situation, please watch this video and try your best to reduce it. Because, you know, I’m going to talk about something quite important. In principle, I actually turn down requests to live in a garbage house. The reason is that in the past, I’ve been asked by people at this level to do it , but I gave up halfway through, and, after all, a garbage house is something that you just can’t throw away. It’s not just a matter of personality, but often a matter of the heart. In Maru’s case, this time she was caring for someone, her father had passed away, and so on, all of which were part of her life. People who end up with a messy home aren’t just simply sloppy , but often have other circumstances, like filing for bankruptcy. My father was like that, too, and I’ve had people who were a bit mentally exhausted. When I’ve been there in the past , I’ve had people who were mentally exhausted, and I quit after about two days . And then we kind of lost contact , so it’s not just a matter of cleaning up a home. So, as a rule, I generally turn down requests for help with this. But after reading Maru’s writings and meeting him, I felt he was prepared, so I decided to film him . I’ve actually come this far, so it’s true, but the rest is down to sheer determination. So, in this situation, I’m able to keep the camera rolling, and I think I’m finally getting to the point where I can finally reduce the amount, or rather, the end is in sight, so I hope this video will inspire people and be watched by many. It’s so amazing, so thank you so much for taking on this. Seriously, I’m almost in tears, you’ve worked so hard, and honestly, it takes so much courage to post something like this online, so you’ve been working silently, but you’ll do your best. Let’s do our best. The hook went in. The dog was covered in trash. He wanted to get up too soon. He got up too soon. And over here, it’s a mess. Clothes. The living space of the clothes is so overwhelming, I’m speechless. That’s right. Once this is tidy, it’ll be a space where only clothes can run around, so this dog will really run around everywhere. He’s so energetic. I’ll do my best to reduce it for the sake of the clothes. Look at the clothes. Look at this scene. Mom used to sleep here too, but now she can’t sleep. I’m trying to get back to sleep. Oh, I bet this was put up by Maru when she was a teacher. Everyone’s different, everyone’s good. That’s good. Quote of the week. What is this? I’m really curious. This. It took me 0.2 seconds to respond. Does it mean to do it immediately? Ah, yes. It’s about starting with something a senior teacher made and quickly making it weird. Oh, that’s a great quote. Don’t give reasons why you can’t do something. This applies to tidying up. There are plenty of reasons not to throw something away, like everyone else will use it, it’s a waste, it was bought expensively, or it was a gift, but if you’re unsure, just throw it away. The advice from here on out is to throw it away before giving reasons why you can’t, so keep going. So it’s steadily decreasing. And the floor is open. I could see the tatami mats, and what caught my attention was that this was the only place labeled “ka” (small items) . Is there really a ka in it? Ah, there is a ka in it. Yes. Let’s throw this out too. Well, the fact that they’re categorized means she probably kept them because she thought she’d use them. Yeah. My mother, you know. Mom is the type of person who likes to tidy up. Ah, that’s right. She’s always had a sense of tidying up, but now that I’ve tidied up like this, I think she’s the type who likes to fix things, so she’s the type who takes good care of things and puts them away without feeling like she’s wasting them. That’s right. There are signs of that here, but my mother was the type who was always more organized, so deciding things and fixing them in a certain place is something that only people in Fukuoka or Kyushu would do. I often use the phrase “put things back in their original place” too. Do you mean “fix it, put it back here” or “put it back in its original place”? Hold on a second. I’m going to reduce this too. Yes. Surprisingly, you like pink quite a bit, don’t you, Maru? That’s right. I feel like I especially liked pink in my 20s and 30s. Maybe even in my 20s too. Yes. No. This, this, this, this is a pink Coach. This is really old, so I liked it. I was wondering where it went. While I was so busy I didn’t even notice, my mother cleaned up and fixed it, knowing it was for my own good. I see. This is fine now, too. I can use it. It’s still old energy, isn’t it? Oh, you mentioned old energy, but it’s something that’s been bottled up for years, so let’s move on. Why do people with a lot of possessions like pink? Oh, really? I think a lot of viewers of my channel will really relate to this. Well, actually, the moment you see the color pink, you feel a maternal instinct, so being surrounded by cute, calming pink things is definitely calming. I think this is especially true for women. Right. People with a lot of possessions have a lot of pink in their homes. Why can’t we throw away dolls and the like? Well , at first glance, you can live without them, right? It ‘s true that we can live without these cute accessories, dolls, and other cute things, but from a man’s perspective, you might think, “Why would you keep these things?” But for women, those kinds of cute things nourish their souls. It may not have a specific function, but it does have a sexual value in the sense of nourishing the soul. Pink, in that sense, is a color that is cute, protective, and fulfills a sense of security for women. It certainly soothes and lifts the spirits, especially for women, so that’s why the number of people pushing themselves to the limit increases. When I explain things like this, I can’t stop. It’s a YouTube thing. While Maru-san is tidying up, her clothes are… Oh, this brings back memories. Oh, this brings back memories. What are you listening to, Maru-san? This is Funky Monk Babys’ last album, so does that mean it’s their last? Why do you have it? Oh, you didn’t like it? I liked it. It’s sad. Don’t forget the artists you loved. Is it from a relative of yours? Did you get it ? No, I wouldn’t. No, maybe… Oh, it’s a mystery, is it from before? It’s okay. It’s Dosa-chan. Ah, I want to listen to this song, Mura-san, but it’s connected to past memories, so I’ll throw it away. It’s a song I want to listen to again, but when I listen to it, it reminds me of those days, so it feels like I’m going back in time , and it’s nice. It’s bringing back memories, so let’s throw them away. There ‘s still 50 years left, so can you make something nostalgic? I’m still making “That Night” for special occasions, and the pink flower paper is still there, too. And there are so many of them that keep coming out, I can’t even count how many times I touch them. They’re literally endless. I might use them when I take something somewhere. Paper bags for souvenirs are free, after all. They’re still charging for plastic bags, but the other day I was asked to buy some, so I bought some, and I paid. Do they charge for them now? Maybe back in the day, plastic bags and hair bags were free, so I got loads of these. Hold on a second. This thing has a gap. Oh dear. It’s like a tunnel. It’s gone like a storm. I liked this one too, but it was repaired in this place, and I didn’t even have time to look for it. There’s an infinite number of them here, too. I thought this beautiful one had a really nice shape, so I took it out and realized, ” That’s it.” I see this thing for shaping clothes is in a place like this too. I would have used it if I had it. This is almost unopened, isn’t it? I’ve probably used it a few times, but I’m taking good care of it. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t pack these things, so it’s a pain with all the clothes. My clothes are starting to invade the pile of trash. They’re climbing like cats. Please be careful with the athletics. I can’t help but feel like they’re gone. Go back over there. Welcome back. So, you’re hesitating . I don’t want to throw this away, but in the end, it’s a thing of the past. If I really treasured it, it wouldn’t fall here. Oh, sorry. Your clothes are in danger. They’ll get crushed by the trash. I’m a curiosity king, so I’ll go in as soon as I have some free space. That ‘s great. But the more I reduce things, the more my clothes move, so I feel like I’m really working hard to reduce things. When my clothes go over there, I ‘m really interested in this pile of trash, and it’s really an event. I don’t think I’ve ever had to tidy up so much in one go in my seven years of clothing life, so I’m probably pretty excited. I wonder what kind of comfortable life awaits me from now on. We’re almost there, a comfortable home. So, we’re tidying up as a family. The floor is opening up little by little. I can walk for about 10 minutes now. Let’s keep trying. Yes. It’s amazing, we now have enough space for one person to sleep, and it’s easy to tidy up, but we’ve found a lot of books again. There’s a lot of clutter here, sorry about that. There are books over there, right? Yes. When I first cleaned up, I had 23 books, and I kept losing them and buying the same ones. That’s a wasteful way to buy things. I’m using the same books from two different companies, so I’m rotating them. It’s jazzy, so there’s a lot of open space on the floor. It got a little late, so it was 8:30, and in about two hours, I’ve reduced it quite a bit. I started late today, and I was on the radio a little until after noon, and then I came back here after the show and am now cleaning up. It took me about five hours today, including the kitchen and this place, to clean up. I only spent about two hours here , but I’ve cleared it up so far. In other words, it’s a bit of a waste to have accumulated something that can be opened up in two hours over the course of five years. Yes, the real action starts from here, and there’s a room similar to this one upstairs, too. It’s getting late tonight, so I’ll finish early since Mom and Pan-chan have to take care of things, and try again tomorrow. And, you see, it’s getting pretty bad. It’s bad now. The living room, which I’d worked so hard to tidy up, has turned into a mess, with so much thrown away that the Japanese-style room opens up. Clothes are piled up in that place, and the clothes that were lying on the floor just now are now pushed aside. It’s all because of this country . I’m going to take this out to the courtyard now. It’s going to be a pain to take out the trash, too. It’s fine if I sleep here. Maybe I should take it out tomorrow. It’s getting late, so if I go to the courtyard, it might be a nuisance to the neighbors, and I won’t be sleeping here tonight, I’ll just eat there, and I’ll be using it again tomorrow, so it’ll just be one day. I’ll have to live in this mess for a day. Yes. Well, I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you. Sorry. This place is in such a bad state, but I’ll make it sparkling clean tomorrow, so please take it easy and get some rest upstairs. So , I worked hard again today. Oh, I was looking at a book and I felt like I could hear my mom’s voice. October 27th. I worked really hard and got rid of it. It was a lot of stuff, and that’s what happens when you collect all this stuff. I’m sure my mom has never seen this much trash in all her years, so she’s probably surprised, but thank you for your hard work today. Thank you for your hard work. And with that, I’m heading home, but before I leave, this is what it looks like at the end. I think Maru probably wants to do it too , so if you want to sleep, you can sleep in, but if you feel like doing anything tomorrow morning , you can do something around here or here. This is my final record before I go home. Today is the morning of October 26th. I’m going to take as much as I can to the waste disposal site. This is what I took off the top shelf. This is the only one left. Good morning. Good morning. So today is the sixth day. It’s already the sixth time. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your support. Yes. So, at 12 o’clock, there were still remnants from yesterday’s bag. I’ll continue to clean out that room over there. So, let’s go. Today, it’s that thing, the black My Melody. It’s Kuromi-chan. Kuromi-chan is here, isn’t she? Let’s do our best with that feeling. By the way, I had a change of heart yesterday. I just lost a few pounds and slept overnight. It was so much weight that at first I felt like I still had a lot to lose, but now I can see it and it’s visibly gone, so I feel like I can’t keep trying , but somehow, it’s starting to feel a bit fun. It’s the best when it gets to that point, and the hardest part is when you start losing weight. I couldn’t see the end and I didn’t feel any change, so yesterday I almost finished, and I could see the floor, so I think the end is pretty much in sight, so all I have to do is see it through, which is good. I can see a ray of hope, okay? Also, in that story, she found this amongst the piles of albums and other things, and it turned out that I hadn’t been taking good care of my precious things. I thought that would be the end of it, and when I wondered why that was, I realized that I was really overwhelmed at the time, and I didn’t have the mental capacity to take good care of those precious things, or that my mental state wasn’t functioning properly . But I calmly realized that by reducing the amount of stuff yesterday, I was able to do that. That’s right. So I’ll continue to reduce the amount here as well. By the way, this area was tidied up after I got home yesterday, so it’s gotten a little lighter. Oh, that’s right. I cleared out the clutter on the shelf above, and I was glad to find my mother’s precious necklace, which I thought was here. Yes. Oh, that’s good. Speaking of finding precious things, I found some of my dad’s clothes here, and here’s a shirt that looks like it belonged to him. About 10 years ago, when my father passed away, I threw away a lot of his clothes as I was tidying up, but it was like I’d seen them for the first time in a long time, and it was like I’d finally unearthed them. It seems like there’s still a lot going on here. That’s right. If Dad was in a situation where his own belongings were turning Maru into a mess, he’d probably ask to throw them away, so let’s go. And so on . Sorry, not here, but Mom’s and here. There’s nothing left. That’s right. It’s fine. They’re letting go, but it seems like they’re buried under clothes and they’re bored and want someone to play with them. Maybe it’s because we’ve been tidying up all these days, so they’re getting a little bored. They’re bored. It’ll be over soon, so please wait. It’s opening up when I get there, but it’s a mess over here too, and it’s packed, so we’re getting ready to take out the trash. It’s so hard. I often say that tidying up isn’t just about deciding whether something needs to be done or not, but also about throwing it away as trash. I’ve always said this, but now I’ve never felt that way before, so let’s try a little harder. Yes. That’s right. Maru-san has been to the garbage disposal site a few times, but since he only takes a few bags at a time, it’s hard to see how much is going down. That’s right. I also come by car every time, but since we don’t want to waste time going to the disposal site, we’ve been cleaning up together, and now we’ve finally gotten the hang of it. We’re just taking out the trash one by one. So we’ve taken it all out. We’re going to this room too. Can you imagine? It’s a huge pile of books and other things. We ‘re going to take this out little by little and reduce it. It’s amazing. So, we ‘ve been steadily taking out the trash in this room, and it’s here. Clothes-kun touched the clothes I’d been leaving lying around and pushed them away, but is it okay now? Yes. Thank you. It was here quite early on, on the first or second day, but as time went on, I’ve sorted it out emotionally, so I’m just keeping the things I need in the entrance and letting go of the ones I don’t need. This place has become a much more peaceful space. They say a room is a reflection of your soul, but I’ve been spending a lot of time in that storage room lately, and several days’ worth of trash has been piling up there, so it’s taken me about three hours to clear it out. Just getting it outside is all it takes. My mother is coming home soon, so I want to surprise her. She’s sprinkling salt on her clothing and items. Well, if she’s happy with it, that’s the best thing. She ‘s sprinkling salt on them as a ritual and letting them go. By the way, why do we have to sprinkle salt on them ? It made me think about it. In my tidying videos, I’ve sprinkled salt on amulets when letting go, but why does salt have such a powerful effect on us? Maybe it’s because it ‘s born from the sea, so it’s pure, or maybe people have been immersed in the sea to make miso since ancient times, so it’s said to purify, but I haven’t studied it properly. I see, I see. Salt is a powerful thing. I’ll remove this too. Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this. After about three hours, a ton of stuff is piling up here again. It looks like a temporary garbage dump, but here, I, um, actually, the two of you, I want to make a closet for you. Right now, I don’t have anywhere to hang my clothes, so I’ve temporarily moved them away, but there are two nice clothes racks over there , so I’ll rescue them. So, do you still have these clothes ? Bye-bye. I had them at the very back, so I’m not using them anymore. Finally, I walked all the way up here, and now I can get in, but I finally made it here. And here, there’s a paper bag for groceries, and it’s illuminating the clothes, so I think there were clothes in there, and now that it’s open, I’m rescuing them. Finally, I can use this. And here, it says Sarutahiko Shrine, too. They’re hanging all kinds of clothes. Okay, I’ve rescued them. Now that I’ve rescued everything I need, I ‘m going to build a closet for you two here. It might not be clear from the video, but this thing is about to fall over. It’s dangerous. Right. I’ll replace it with this. By the way, how’s it going? It’s been about a week since you pared down your clothes , but is it easier to choose your clothes every day? Yes, it seems like you only end up wearing the clothes you wear often. Even though I had so many, no, it’s true. Everyone says that the more clothes you have, the fewer clothes you wear, but by paring down your clothes, you can actually get to know what’s important to you, what you like, and get rid of a lot of them. This laundry is so unstable. Ah, that’s right. I was temporarily using this laundry rack, so I’m glad I finally got a proper one. And over here, let’s put Grandma’s clothes on it. I’m so touched. Your two clothes are finally on a proper clothes rack. We finally made a closet here. It took a long time to get here. You two have a closet. You could even lay out your futons and sleep in here. That’s right. And the living room is over there, so finally the rooms are connected and it’s starting to feel like a living space. Thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work. So, Mom’s back. We’re continuing to tidy up. Does it feel different than usual? Oh, I wonder what’s going on. I think this place was full of garbage bags yesterday. And over there too. Please come here for the last six days. From now on, ah, up to here. Six days up to here. Yes. Please come. Yes . We’re doing our best. Sorry it ‘s a long message. Ah. No, no. Not at all. Anyway, the break is over and it’s getting bigger over there, so we’ll resume. I’ve been coming up with things, and over there is, oh , a nostalgic telephone card. It makes me feel like I’m back in the telephone card days. Well, this is probably good for enthusiasts, but are there any Hakata items like Yoka Hakata or something like this? I don’t use them. That’s right. But maybe someone wants one. Yeah, I say that when everyone else is doing it , but if that’s the case, I’ll make sure to use them properly. I’m the one who put it in this state, so I didn’t take responsibility until the end and used it carelessly, and at the end, everyone left a lot of it, thinking that maybe someone else could use it, but I have to be ruthless and keep going , and naturally, it seems like a lot of nostalgic things will start to come out from here, so I’m almost there, and it’s been steadily decreasing and getting pretty clean, but then something terrible happened. I’m sorry to show you this painful part, but Maru-san accidentally stepped on an art disease while working. I was. I was really being killed by things. I’m not the kind of person to say this with the camera rolling when I’m in pain from being stung by an art disease, but I’m really being careful. Yes. It was a good thing that Chi-san was wearing those shoes. For some reason. If you look closely at this video, I think I’ve been wearing them since the third or fourth day, and they’re important. Yes. But it’s good. Now I can quickly take out my Kizuna Sougen. Before, I wouldn’t have known where it was. It must be really difficult to do so quickly when you get injured. Let’s resume. It’s a battle now. I’m bleeding from the arthritis, and I can see the tatami mats, but I finally made it to the back. I think this is my mother’s. This is the ring, my mother’s salvation. It looks like the ring from before she got married, so she treasured it and didn’t throw it away . I told my mother about this. This is her last name. I’ll keep it. I’ll keep it. So, this, this, I don’t need it. Well, I don’t often wear this, but… Well, she said she’d keep this, so I confirmed and threw away everything except the ring. So, since the large storage space is empty, I’m moving things out. A word processor. Word processor. Word processor sounds so nostalgic, it’s a word. Word processor is a word that Gen Z kids don’t know anymore. That’s right. There’s a printer here. Amazing. I haven’t seen one in a while. It says 5, and the display is amazing. Thinking about it, computers these days are so thin. So this is what I was carrying around. Right. I was carrying this around. About 4kg. Right. Well, I’m going to get rid of this too. Amazing. Almost there. At the end, I tied up the books, and even when the cameras weren’t rolling, I was able to throw out a ton of books, and I’ve probably thrown away easily 1 million yen’s worth of them. And, if each book costs 1,000 yen, I’ve easily thrown away over 1,000 books, so if you live a long life, that’s a lot. That’s right. Decades’ worth, well, I learned so much knowledge for 1 million yen, so I don’t think it’s expensive or cheap. In monetary terms, it’s really about that much stuff we throw away and put away . There are two things I’ve come to dislike since I started this project. Paper books and tableware. Ultimately, I think it’s harder to throw away tableware and paper books than it is to throw away trash . Ah, that’s right. It’s heavy, it doesn’t leave much space for the amount of time it takes, it’s hard to tie down, and in some places you have to carry it around, which is a pain, and you can get hurt. I just stepped on a painting sickness, and I hit my little finger , and I get hurt quite a bit. I’ve cut a lot of paper, so be careful. It’s really quite powerful. Paper, yeah, if I touch it, it gets pretty dry and flaky over the past few days. The books in this house have been covered in dust for years. That’s right. My black clothes are covered in a ton of dust too. I’ve been sniffling all the time. My nose is running, and my mask is at 30 today, but if I raise it to 50 it’s going to be hard to breathe. I’ve been taking medication and taking Tenbi-yaku, and even though I’ve done my best today, it’s a real battle with my body. I’m worried the dishes will break, and the clanging sounds of the dishes are heavy and they’ll break. But I’m almost there. After throwing away this many books, Maru is invincible. From then on, I’m fearless. Oh, okay, let’s do our best. Okay. So, the floor is now minimalist. You did a great job. Thank you. Let’s go see what happens if we reduce the amount of trash. Ta-da. It’s a mess. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. There was absolutely nothing there before, but no matter how many times I look at this scene, throwing things away just keeps piling up. It’s been three hours. And in three hours, this much trash has already been dumped in that room. Well, it’s still just a small part. Right. I’ve already thrown this away. It ‘s really just a small part, since I’m almost out of all the 100 trash bags I bought. Why don’t you just take this out a little at a time when you take out the trash twice a week, so I can take it to the trash collector? I’d like to go too, but I don’t have enough time . I wonder how long it took to work. I think I worked for about 67 hours and managed to open it up this far, but I did n’t want to touch it anymore. There’s so much stuff in that closet, so if I looked into it, there’d definitely be something there . I was staring. He said he didn’t want to see it. Let’s go. He’s definitely inside, isn’t he? Right, right, this isn’t open here, is it? Because he hasn’t reached it yet. He has n’t reached it yet. Seriously? Are they going to open this? I’m scared to open it so much. I can’t enter the temple. Before that, it says something like “Strong Day” here, but no matter how many times I reduce the number of enemies, the next one just keeps appearing, so it’s a never-ending battle. What is this? A door? Wait, is this door the door that leads to the entrance, um, wait, there’s an entrance. 6 I’ve been here for 6 days, do you know this strange house? I went to see a movie, and I’m imagining the layout of this house from above, and it seems like it’s connected to a corridor, like this. That’s right. Eh, and I don’t know what it is. Right. And there’s something that’s missing here. Eh, wait a minute. Should I go over there? What’s going on here? This is where the mystery begins. This is here, right? Yes. It connects to this corridor. Here. Is this it? This was a door. I didn’t even notice it. Seriously. I’ve been here for 6 days, and even though it’s right inside the entrance here, I seriously didn’t notice it. It’s been blocked off until now. That’s what it is here. You could normally enter and exit from here, but the tea ceremony implements are in the water room, and although they’re not being used now, they might be needed in the future, so they’re being disposed of, and they said they might still need them, so they didn’t have anywhere to put them, so they sealed this place off in the house below Just Fist. I see , because it was sealed off, that part wouldn’t open, so the mystery has been solved. Do you think this will work? Shall we take it now? That doesn’t seem right. Aoari: This part opened up just like the town, so this is also waste material . Hehe. By the way, the tatami mats are blue only here. Well, that’s the original color of the tatami mats. This part has been sun-bleached. This one. And, did you notice? There’s still stuff here. Ready, go, go . Yes. Oh my god. Here, it looks like the floor has opened up, but there’s still loads. It’s bad. Reduce it, reduce it. Things are coming out. It’s not over, so it’s still going on. And, that was a long introduction, but shall we open this? Yes. This is the first time I’ve seen it, so it’s scary. I’ll go. Oh, I’ll go this way too. Please. Yes. Wow. A bunch of clothing cases. By the way, do you remember these exist? Open them. Oh, now that I think of it, it makes me think. Well, since this place is here too, I’ve forgotten it exists, so I just keep stuffing it with garbage bags without looking. The connection for this type of storage is to take it all out and remove the door. Wow. It’s like an avalanche, and if you open it up all the way, it’s crazy, it’ll never end. There’s still a ton of stuff coming out, and it’s quite a sight. I’ll take this out. It looks heavy. It looks heavy. It’s basically all clothes. There was a really big pink storage case. There were open clothes and paper bags. My relatives laughed, so I think they probably wanted lots of storage. I see. I think the homes of my mother’s generation are also built with the value of the more things you can fit in, the richer it is, but the storage capacity of a closet is incredible. Well, it might be rude to judge others’ mistakes, but if I were to build my own house, I would definitely reduce the amount of storage. People who cram things in really think a small house is better. This one gets stuck and won’t come out. It’s like Tetris. This is frozen. This really takes a lot of stamina. They say that reducing stuff is a sport, and I’m an athlete at heart. I spend six to eight hours every day just reducing stuff and talking nonstop. Incidentally, I ‘ll be filming almost every day for the next 40 days or so. I’m currently visiting people’s homes, so I’m used to it. But I took things out of the top, which seemed a little difficult to reach, and the floor is a mess. It’s strange. The floor was so clean a while ago, but no matter how much I reduce, the stuff just keeps piling up. Well, I’ll just ask you a question here today. I’ll be working from noon for about eight hours, so I’ll leave this as homework for a bit . There’s a week until I come next. I’ve been doing this almost every day for the past six days, but a week has passed, and I’ve had some work and traveled to the countryside during that time. I’ll come back in a week , but I think I’ll leave this as homework for you. Well , I think we’ll probably just have to pack up the trash bags, so I’d like to have Maru-san operate the camera while we do so, so please. I really want to help you with this. I really don’t have enough time. I didn’t think there’d be much to do up to this point, sorry. I was quite optimistic. When I signed up for YouTube , I was sent 10 photos of the room, but I can’t fit them all in. I’d forgotten about that, since I only looked at this part. The era of existence. Yes. So please don’t rub it in. Thank you. And it’s the same over there, but they’re temporarily storing the crumbled cardboard boxes here. I feel bad about taking out the trash, but I feel like I’ve done it. Well, you’ve worked hard enough to get this done. So, since I have a week until my next visit, I’ll just make it your homework to pack up the trash bags and have them take it out . Thank you for your hard work for eight hours. It’s already 8pm and the space is cramped . Well, I’ve managed to keep the living room tidy like this for six days straight, so my daily life is pretty much settled, and all that’s left is to steadily tidy up the storage space. Thank you for the long visit. Thanks for the support. Fu -chan’s mom has been holding him the whole time to keep him from getting mad, and I’m sure he’s running around a lot now that the house is bigger, but I’ll be back in a week to let you know. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. So, I tidied up for eight hours today, and it’s written on the calendar. I’ve been wondering when the deadline is for that worry, and I’m sure you’ve been worrying about not being able to tidy up for a while now , but I’ll be back for another week next month so I can welcome the New Year . Thank you for your support. Oh, it’s October 31st. I’m going to take out the trash for the first time. Today is October 31st. I went to throw out cardboard boxes twice on October 30th, so the pile of cardboard has been cleared away for now. There’s still a little bit of other trash and color, but the cardboard itself is clear. I found it in a gift bag. It seems the soil had carefully removed the shirt I gave her on Bloody Day. I’ll say goodbye to that too . This is what the contents of the case looked like. This is my second trash dump on October 31st . This time it’s mostly fabric. It’s full like this. I think there are more than 10 bags. It’s the night of November 1st. Yesterday, November 31st, I went to the garbage disposal facility twice to throw out burnable trash, but today I had some errands to run during the day, so I worked at night . I put together a storage case to go with the previous load. Okay, so this is my first time at Maru’s house in a week. Thank you for your help . Thank you for your help. So, that Tasu has been moved from in front of the door so that the door can fit through. It’s a bit weird to go around to take out the trash in this room, so I gathered this here once, and just now, it seemed like they’d been to the trash disposal facility and come out just five minutes before I got home, so I figured there was probably less stuff there than the last time I went out, and I didn’t ask anything. Well, I still have some homework left to do for the first time in a week, but I’d like to go in. Wow, it’s amazing. The clothing case is a shell. Oh, amazing. Oh, it’s open. Wait a minute. Amazing. You worked so hard tying everything up. Seriously. Wow, there’s nothing left here. There are cardboard boxes in here too, so it’s better to just take them out as they are. You tied up everything you could. Then, after taking out the clothing case, there was no more space, so you went to throw out the things that were in this area. Yeah. Amazing. That’s why I actually said sorry on LINE earlier. Even if they say , “I’m taking out the trash, so I’d like to move it up by 10 minutes,” they’d wait until the very last minute, and it’s a really shell of a place, so I think they’ve probably taken out some of the progress, so I think they’ve posted it, but I just saw it for the first time, so they really put in a lot of effort. The first half was done together with Hashi-san, so that’s about it . No, no, it’s just a little detail, but I think I’ve gotten to a point where I can probably reduce the amount of trash explained above just by observing regularly. They’ve gotten used to the mindset of throwing things away, so I’m convinced that if the time comes and we just reduce the trash together, this house will definitely be clean. Honestly, I wanted to do this as much as I could, but this is actually the seventh time, and I asked them to let me win while I’m away because I didn’t have enough time, but it’s amazing. Right. All that’s left is to take out the trash, really. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait. Oh no. This one too. There’s nothing here. Eh, all here too. Yes, it was out, but when I put it out here, there was a little bit of a haka value in the middle. Amazing. Everything’s gone. That’s right. So the books that were here are probably tied up there too. Amazing. Everything’s become a shell. Oh, it’s all amazing. I feel like I’ve lost track of what was in here. That’s right. Clothes, old clothes, old clothes, underwear, things like that. So is this room finished? I found a set that a certain shrine will help you get rid of around here, so when it arrived, I packed it up in boxes . It’s just these little antiques, so I’ve decided to get rid of them too, so this room is finished. Good work. Thank you. So, this has been my challenge for about a week since last time, and starting today, it’s the second part. Hey, I’m starting a new project, so I’ll start the second part, so please bear with me. Thank you. By the way, the cardboard boxes that were piled up here, along with this one, have become shells. And now, it’s time to visit the living room for the first time in a while. Wow, it’s cleaned up nicely. Hey, nice to meet you. It’s so clean, or rather, Mom is sitting there, so relaxed in the empty space. I’m planning to tidy up for about eight hours starting at noon today, and it’s so spacious. The living room was like that two weeks ago. It’s so clean, so far. And how about this ? We’ve eliminated a lot of the trash in the kitchen, tidied it up, and it’s not inconvenient, so it’s fine, right ? Mom couldn’t sit here like this before. On the other hand, do you feel a little uneasy now that it’s so clean, like you’re not the same person you were before? It’s a strange feeling, isn’t it? It’s so clean and happy. You feel lighter, but at the same time, it’s so clean. That’s right. I mean, how long have we lived in this house? It was a messy place for about eight or ten years, but we’ve been living here for about ten years, and now it feels like a second life has already begun. It feels like the video is ending, but there are still two more. Yes. It’s been a while since I last saw you. I’m off to get my shampoo. I wonder if Nami remembers me? It’s been a week. By the way, has your clothes changed in any way? Like being able to wander around in different places. Yeah. It’s definitely more relaxed, and that storage room is moving around. They play a little. They came to play with a ball. This is amazing. It seems like Aicchi still has the scent of hard work in that room. So, let’s try to take out the trash here a little more. Taking out the trash is already the hardest part of this house. That’s right. Well, I think there’s about a month or two until the video is released , but in the meantime, I’ve been taking out the trash every week, and it’s been thinning out a little, so I want to work a little harder at taking it out. My clothes are in the closet over there now, but how do you like it? It was summer when I picked out and put away my clothes, but they still feel like they belong there . I feel like the scent of this space has changed too. It feels a little murky, and, yes, that’s right, it feels a little more airy. It definitely feels lighter. Yeah. In the mornings, I can open it and let the breeze through. That’s right. I end up closing it here too, halfway through the flow. Yes. I close it. That’s right. I think I close it here, but this house is designed to block out light when someone stops in the customer area . Now I can get through here. It’s wonderful. So, starting today, I’m going to the second floor. The stairs to the second floor? Oh, that’s right. So I’m going to the second floor, but there are a lot of things up the stairs too, and the moment I get up there, there’s already so much stuff, and I thought maybe I should just stop now, since I’ll only be living on the first floor anyway, but I’m going to keep going. I’m going to do the whole house, so it’s just starting from here. So, let’s go to the stairs first. At this point, Maru-san has already developed a mindset of throwing things away, so I think he’ll probably just keep throwing things away. But the problem is, there are stairs, so it’s more of a physical challenge—the task of carrying things down is actually more difficult, so let’s do our best. Okay. So, let’s start reducing this. Look at the boxes here, which clearly don’t seem to be in use. Next up are the Meal Organization and Mail Order Life, which are different types. I feel like I’m seeing the dark side of sales. Honestly, I was watching a sauna recently and there was a TV shopping segment, and if I bought this green juice now, it would be 5,980 yen, but it was only 1,980 yen. 70% off. I thought there was a huge buying spree, like within three hours of this broadcast, but this is a slightly different type, and I was just thinking about how things are piling up like this. I wish people would stop turning on the TV in the sauna. I keep digging through useless information and throwing it away because it prevents me from being mindful. But it seems like you really do see that desire for a gradient can be fueled, and I know this is a harsh word, but this is what happens to people who buy things fueled by desire for a gradient, and I don’t want to say anything bad about you, but I think I was like that in the past, buying things out of anxiety, like buying things out of anxiety, or feeling that it was fun or comfortable to get something cheap, but the current Maru has completely discarded that mindset and become a new Maru, so let’s just go for it. When you throw away the cardboard boxes of “This is bad, this is bad”, it’s like an avalanche, and documents like “Next time I’ll pick this up” fall down. Things are flowing in a circular motion, and every time I take this to the garbage disposal site, the old man says it’s a waste, so regular plastic bags are fine, and you always tell me that, thank you, but I won’t have time to sort things soon, so I’ll just pack everything up and forget about it . Yes, it’s true that we have our own trash collection area. A household trash bag in Fukuoka City costs 50 yen, so it’s expensive, but we end up going to the landfill and throwing away our trash, so we don’t have time to sort it out, so behind the camera, Maru is putting trash into bags like this. This is also amazing. I want to get as far as this today . I feel like Maru could finish this in a day . Seriously. It’s all paper trash. The problem of what to do with it is more important. I’m folding up the cardboard boxes like this, and there are still paper bags coming out. Wow, that’s a material that would be difficult to dispose of . Could you please take this downstairs to the kitchen? This is a difficult task. I told you to go downstairs, but you have to go too. It’s a bit of a cooperative game. By the way, there’s a ball here, and it’s designed to be that way . I bought this for 500 yen and it’s a ball toy that helps with dementia, and I thought I’d try it this way and that, but then I bought another one, so now it’s one of my own. I’ll use this. There are some things I’ve added to it a little bit, so I’ve been thinking about it for years. My thoughts are on it for years. The ones on the first floor are still my parents’ and my school uniform, and the ones on the second floor are my room, so they were there 24 years ago when we built our house, so I’m not sure if this analogy is accurate, but the ones on the bottom are still new. These are Paleolithic. From an even older perspective, are Paleolithic items easier to throw away? Or are they so old that you no longer need them? Or are they packed with history and difficult to throw away? Right. Most of these piled-up items are things I couldn’t get rid of, so the rest hold memories. I think I have a few books and photos from my student days, but I think it’s okay to just clatter them around. So, it’s just a matter of climbing up and down these stairs. So, that’s how it is. Something that occurred to me was that my parents’ house is also two stories tall, and there’s a really long staircase that’s about twice as long as this one, but I ‘ve died there twice. No one uses it. I have a lot of my own stuff, of course, but when I was clearing out my parents’ things on the first floor, I thought it must be really hard to have 1.5 times as much stuff that’s not just mine. For example, are there people who have a separate family home and are doing this for their parents’ job hunting? Yes. Well, I think there are actually more of those. I thought that must be really hard. They went to the trouble of building a two-story house for their parents, and they live there too, and they want to look like them, so it’s not that hard. But, you know, I still live in this space, so I’ll leave the “I have to do it” thing for later. By the way, if you look closely, there’s a textbook on how difficult it is to get here. Graduation is needed. Reduce your possessions. This was a gift, right? I’ll probably use it for sports day or something. That Harry Potter thing from when I went to Universal Studios Japan. It’s the butter coffee thing. You always see that white foam on Instagram, squirting down the wall like lipstick. I also had butterbeer at my high school graduation party. Do you have this? No, it’s not. Wow. Young people these days probably know this from the game Splatoon. It’s a real carving from Hokkaido. This is the original Gritgrass, which my mother treasured and which my brother and I read. A great Gritgrass. It’s already showing its age. It’s got graffiti on it. This is fine, too. It’s sad, but even if you have it, you still feel that sense of loneliness. It somehow felt like a center of gravity. It’s unstained. There was a four-leaf clover stuck in there. Yes. That four-leaf clover in the grit from earlier is a strange thing. It’s hot. Today is November 5th, and it’s cold enough to wear a down jacket, but it’s been super sunny and hot since tonight. It should be even colder on a thick day like this, but I get hot going up and down the stairs. The old first aid kit is covered in dust and what looks like a nest. Gakuen is cute, and I have the last of Gakuen, so I’ll tell you a secret: I only took out the inside and the edges are burnable trash, but there are still tons of shots coming out. It’s amazing . It’s called the 2005 school festival accounting documents, and it brings back so many nostalgic memories from my time as a teacher. Younger generations don’t know that Ohei had an orange era. It was when I was in elementary school. There’s a lot of Fukuoka stuff, like Super Hawks Street and the Hawks, and the Hawks won the championship. The climax season is over, but congratulations. Was it five years or something? Right. It’s been a while since they won the Japan Series. The Hawks are the best. I don’t know much about it. But they had some kind of sale. Yes. At the Fukuoka store, if the Hawks won, they would celebrate the Hawks’ victory. When I was a freeter, I worked at a now-defunct outlet mall called Marinoa City , and we would sell products in a sale while Hawks cheering music played endlessly in the store, driving me crazy . If the Hawks win, Fukuoka Prefecture’s economy would boom. Everyone buys them on sale. Well, please don’t buy any more. It’s great that the Hawks won, but please don’t buy them just because it’s on sale. So, they’re gradually dwindling, and I can see a wall in sight. Are these going to get old? I think I have all the paper bags from the last 20 years or so. They’re probably asking how many times I’ve appeared in this video. That’s right. There were also some nostalgic ice balls. I’ve seen those before. Yes, I have. There were some large ice balls inside, so they’re fine now. Yes. That reminds me of something a little scary. What’s wrong? This is it. There’s really storage over there too. It’s crazy. I kept thinning things out and then I found storage coming out from the wall. What a surprise. This place is like a labyrinth. Yes. It reminded me of a dungeon , where things are stored even here. That’s right. It’s the first time I’ve seen this scene in 10 years. And actually, there’s storage over there as well, and it seems like the more storage you have everywhere, the better. Nowadays, with minimalism and minimalist architecture, people are creating their own homes without creating much storage space and instead using up living space, but in Maru’s era, it was really convenient to have a lot of storage space and be able to store as much stuff as possible, so this is a Hakata doll. I think my mother would probably give some kind of gift every year, like a cute one for her teacher, or maybe a chicken one depending on the year, wrapped in tissue paper and given it away as a special favor. I’m going to the shrine next time, and when I dig it up, I’ll definitely have muscle pain tomorrow. No, that’s not it. Let’s do our best. It’s a monster net that becomes a Lantern at the very end, but didn’t you have one ? Actually, I bought this once. Then I lost it, and actually, oh, it was here. Because I didn’t know it and thought it wasn’t there. That was good. I’ve memorized most of the things in Maru’s house now , and I’m sure it happened once. In the living room. They had a lot of disaster prevention lights like this, and there was one here too, and when I lost it, I bought a new one. Well, when I’m with a long-haired grandmother, she tends to carry things around and not tell me what’s going on. Also, similar things tend to happen in households with small children . I lived with a 3-year-old yesterday and a white cat, and the baby and cat kept moving things around, so things would get lost without me noticing, and as a result, I’d lose track of them and get caught again. Living with a family can be a challenge, but tidying up can help prevent a few of these accidents. The probability of this happening can be reduced, so it feels like something’s there to cool down . Like, oh yeah. Like, heatstroke, or something. It’s convenient if you have it, but it’s not a problem if you don’t, and at worst, you can buy it. That’s right. High-quality ginger is interesting. There were a ton of socks piled up in the ginger, and it was amazing. Maybe 10 years ago. Ah, that’s right. But maybe it would be better if it went even further. Didn’t ginger come up? No, it didn’t. It would be scary if ginger came up. And the more I opened it, the more things came out, my elementary and junior high school. And there were volleyball books, and… Wait, this is interesting. How to praise, how to scold, coaching. The word “coaching” has become quite common recently, like game coaching and all sorts of other coaching, but it seems quite rigid. Well, the word has been around for a long time, but this book was published in 2007, so it’s 19 years ago. It’s almost like how I communicated when I was supervising club activities. There are ways of scolding that really resonate. When scolding, the words: “That’s not like you.” “That’s not like you, in this situation.” Yeah . Sounds like a lie. I see. Like that. When you have too many things, you lose sight of what’s important, don’t you? That’s right. This was helpful. I’ll take this. Thank you. There’s a lot of talk about coaching and undergraduate education everywhere. Well, he is a teacher, after all. But he’s really studious. And, you know, when you become an adult, you stop learning. I’ve heard that many people, even reading one book a month once they enter the workforce, are considered high rankings. But Maru-san, despite being busy teaching and being a teacher, is still willing to buy books like this, which I think makes him a great teacher. He also has a way of praising you after cleaning . The classroom is always clean after cleaning. Maru-san’s room is always clean after cleaning , so one time it was really clean. What? That’s right. It reminds me of that feeling again. It says, “Don’t give up.” It became. Wow. It’s amazing that it’s so good. 600,000 copies sold, six times the number of copies of my book. After years of making it, it’s been published for eons, and it’s amazing, but you promised it would be the best, and then you were hesitant to get a second book. Wow. People have potential, no matter how old they are, even when they’re in their 50s or 60s. So, Maru-san, don’t give up, and keep reducing your losses. Yes. I was a complete novice, but it was Valemon, so yes. There was dust flying around inside. Is it like it might not even reach this room today ? Yes it is. Is there that much? I’ll go there. I’ll go there. Oh. Wait a minute. Seriously? Wait a minute. That’s bad. That’s really bad. It’s so deep, seriously. There’s one more room now. I was planning to finish this quickly and move on to the next one, so I said I’d finish up here and go home, but there’s a whole room like an attic. What the heck. I’m definitely going to have to work overtime. I just have to keep trying. I don’t have time to be disheartened. I’m really just getting rid of it all. That’s right. Well, there’s no need to choose. I mean, I’ve lived without this for so many years, I almost want to pretend it never happened. It’s impossible to pretend it never happened. This is something that viewers will be curious about, even if they don’t think about it. Well, it’s a bit of a mess, so I’ll just ignore it for now. So I think I’ll ask you to come back to this after I get home. If you’re wondering what’s in here, it’s mostly books and stuff, and it’s probably just for taking out the trash, and it would be more effective to prioritize reducing this and that, so I’ll just ignore it for now. Yes. Well, this, um, I’ll have a progress report sent to me later. Also, this is my Coming of Age Ceremony. Oh, Coming of Age Ceremony. Oh, it’s Maru-san’s Coming of Age Ceremony. I’m so close to turning 20. These friends borrowed kimonos from somewhere, but they all came in plain, sleeveless kimonos because they admired Hara from Hara’s time. They said they wanted to come to the graveyard, so here we go. It’s a bit of a nostalgic thing , like a little bit of a nostalgic thing, like a nostalgic thing. But these important things are buried in the trash. That’s right, it’s a gym I used to have a contract with. Oh, I see. I joined, but I paid again and never went again. I always said, “Come on,” but I lived in a place called Nishijin and had a contract. This team is nostalgic. Back then, computers weren’t around, so we read papers, researched, and compiled them into papers . It was called a national experience, and it felt like we were getting information from there. That’s right. I’ve been researching Waka, so I looked up other songs where this Waka word is used, and then I looked it up in a work, and it sounds like a great door . These days, young people are like, ” If I were to teach Kokin Wakashu no Nanban on Google Master Chat GPT, it would all just disappear, and it’d be amazing how we live in such an age. So I put this down a little, and the flower turned into a shell, so I’d put it down, and finally, this opened. Yes, sir. Ta-da. Finally, the stairs here are open. I feel such a natural happiness, being able to walk without any obstructions. It’s so spacious. So spacious. It was that spacious, Sani. Well, there’s still more to come, but I’d like to finish this room and that one today too. I’ll have to keep up that pace to make the next episode the final one. But I think I can do it. So, there’s still a lot of stuff on this side of the hallway, so I’m trying to pare it down, and now I can climb up my clothes. Finally, thanks to the paring down, this dog can easily get in. Amazing. So, as I was paring it down, I noticed a familiar polyphenol. Wow, it’s the way my mother eats, but she still eats quite a lot. The expiration date is 2022. If she drinks it, it’ll make her unhealthy. Every time I get new clothes, I realize how much I’m saving. I ‘m sure it’s the road. I wish I could do that. I’m tired. Bye-bye. When I’m tied up in the room downstairs, I think to myself, “It’s not just the cold.” It’s not just the cold. I ‘m wearing a mask size 20. And I’m taking a powerful allergy pill. I ‘m putting my life on the line. I’m putting my life on the line. I’m risking my life to film this YouTube video. Also, yesterday I was cleaning up in Kanagawa and caught the last Shinkansen train, arriving at Hakata Station at 11:51 PM. There was already a Christmas tree up in front of Hakata Station, and I happened to pass by Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where Halloween was just around the corner. I thought it was already Christmas time, even though it was Halloween just the other day. Despite that conversation, we’re both still battling for our lives. It’s crazy. Plus, climbing those stairs while wearing that mask is exhausting . You’re bouncing up. It’s tough because we only have about half the normal amount of oxygen. Oh , there’s a book by Mi-sama, and, yeah, maybe just a week ago, I started teaching something called Moherasis Coaching, which is a paid service, and someone there said, “Shibu-san, please watch Sonawa-san’s video.” I was sent a link, and when I watched it, there was a video where Mi-sama talks about the benefits of reducing the amount of stuff you own, and it was an AI with Mi-sama’s exact voice. Oh, I saw it. He talks about tidying up like this. Oh, right. It’s the kind of thing you hear when you’re into spiritualists or fortune tellers. He said some pretty good things in that video, and I thought the AI ​​was amazing, and I just watched it recently, and I think he was saying that reducing things will improve your luck. So let’s reduce them. Let’s reduce them. Everyone’s watching. Wow. ” I’ll Die in 100 Days” was a big hit on Twitter. I’ve forgotten what it was like in “100 Days Later.” This came out in 2020. Hey, five years ago. Five years ago already. So fast. The waterfall flows so fast. Oh well. I’ll throw it away. No spoilers or anything, but on the 100th day, I’ll celebrate my birthday while enjoying cherry blossom viewing, which is March 30th . So, once I’ve finished thinning out all this stuff, it’ll be waiting for me. Oh, that’s right. It’s so bad. I’m speechless because I’ve just leaked this. My breathing is shallow, and my body is exhausted, so I don’t have the vocabulary. Yesterday was the final battle, so it must have been tough. I wonder what’s going to happen at the end too. This book brings back memories. When we met on Twitter, I didn’t know much about it, but it was popular, and when the book came out, I was like, oh, well, let’s take a look at your face for the last 100 days, eh, is it going to end like this? I was like, oh, I feel like it caused some kind of uproar, so, well, we’re all going to die someday, so let’s prepare for that. No, it really is. If I imagine someone doing this to me, well, I guess so. If I keep it like this, I won’t die in 100 days. We will. You know, I tend to get up when I see a step like this on the stairs, but it’s dangerous. But I have to stay calm. That’s right. I don’t want to worry about my mom touching it and dropping it or it hitting my clothes, so I’m gradually reducing the amount of things I have here. By the way , this has photos in it from when we went to Kyoto. Ah, it’s a photo album. I found an album like this in the memories corner. This is my father’s tie. It would be considered an unusual item. By the way, do you need this ornament? No, it would be a goodbye. Wash it. Yes. That’s right. There’s no need to keep it here. No, it doesn’t. Hand wash it. This is a little old. It’s a hand-held item. Yes. Yeah. This is from 2010. Oh, I wonder if this is here? It was made in 2010. Yeah. That’s right. It says 2010, so let’s throw it away. Yes. I think a lot of it was probably a gift set. So, around here, I have a lot of things I’m getting rid of, but here too, well, there’s a lot of stuff on this step of the stairs, so that’s fine for now. Oh, that’s right. First of all, glass is very dangerous, so I’m going to stop leaving anything like that in this space. Dangerous, these needles. That’s right. It’s really dangerous, rolling around. And it’s covered in dust, so it’s no good even if you think it’s cute. I don’t have time to look back like that, so I’ll get ahead of myself. As I said earlier, if I look at it, it becomes harder to throw it away, so the clothes are there, looking at them. We’re keeping an eye on them. Both me and the clothes are keeping an eye on them. By the way, is this some kind of important person trying to sell me something? I’m sorry to say no, but I think I might have bought it on the opposite side of the planet, maybe about 20 years ago. Is that okay? Yes. I just found something. I was undecided. With Yamada Toko. You might see it here every once in a while, but it’s something I’ve been harboring for the past 10 years. Yeah. I’ll buy a new one. That’s nice. So, there are some nostalgic things around here that I find myself stopping to look at. I’m being killed by old things. Okay. Anyway, I’m completely bored of the floor. I’m going to take a break like this. Okay. It ‘s 2 o’clock, and there’s this whole pile of junk in the hallway . The living room, which was so clean just a moment ago, has become a pile of trash again, and no matter how much I pare down, more and more junk keeps coming back . It’s a bit surprising that so much junk was found in the hallway in just two hours . At first glance, the things in that hallway are pushed up against the wall, and it doesn’t look like there’s much, but when you take them out, there’s just so much, so that’s why I eat lunch. Okay. Oh. Cute. Assist. By the way, today is November 5th. It’s people who deceive and people who help, so it’s about helping each other. That ‘s so true. Fu-chan, who helped me, said she was also targeting my mother, so after the break, I left those stairs for a bit, so I’m going to start from the beginning, and I’m going to do the stairs I’ve been putting off. What’s this? This is my obi. I used the obi when I bought tea. When can I use this? I’m not sure. Oh, never mind. I just bought a new one. So basically, everything here just keeps coming out, and even when I put my shoes on, one side comes out and explodes. I put my shoes on. There’s just one sticker that makes me feel like this will be easy, for some reason. I’ve read this all the time. It’s for security. Why did you decide to read this? My mother is there, so I wanted to double-check my complicity, like to raise my awareness. So, I was wondering if, for example, someone had broken into my house in the past. Oh, that’s not the case. Well, I’ve heard there’s been a lot of scams lately, so the police are targeting the elderly. Can I quote from the book? The number one crime prevention measure for the future is an AI camera, and apparently, one of those was placed here. That’s right. If my mother thought it was recording directly into the entranceway, she would think it was a shameful use of electricity and rip it out. Yeah. Yes. But my mother used it. So, this is fine too. Yes. This isn’t a bad idea, so the manager is wrong. It should be re-opened in November next year, when it’s left there. That’s right. I’m sorry there are so many things like that. Oh, look at this. It seems fine. Sorry. I didn’t understand at all. That’s a shame. That’s true. It was Maru who used it so carelessly. There are other things I’d like to point out, like this one, that haven’t been returned. Let me tell you the number one anti-mite measure. Reduce the amount of stuff you own. Well, that’s true. I can’t live without this house anymore, so books are sleeping here too. That’s right. There’s something really scary, scary, scary inside the box. This time, I found the Tokyo Banana God Bag. I thought I was just passing by. A lot of different things come out, but the keyword “life” comes up again. It says, ” You think your life is boring, but it’s you who’s making it boring .” And it’s so true. It’s a title like Sambomaster’s. Like, “The world calls that love.” That’s good. It really hits home. Oh, it says something good . It says that these scars are what make you who you are, and I think I’ve exposed a lot of my painful and embarrassing parts in this video up until now , but those scars are the ones I’ve exposed myself to. But I’m sure that one day , when I look back on this video a year, two years, or ten years from now , I’ll look back and think, “I remember that time, I grew up.” I have an incredible treasure chest of Prilus. Oh, it’s dusty. I don’t know what my mother did when she tidied up, but I think it’s a song. So there are quite a few things that she left there without realizing it, and this one is like a Nara big set, a thin piece of paper, what was it? Eh, it’s some kind of object. It’s amazing. This one might be very black, too, but it’s really dusty. It’s Tsuku-kun’s hair, this. Yes. Yeah. It’s a decorative item, but it’s covered in dust. And this is really dangerous on the stairs. If it falls down, it’ll be over in one hit. That’s right. And the endless supply of Suba’s sacred bags. It’s dangerous. Something strange appeared from an unexpected place. Let’s treat money with care. Oh, wait a minute. I saw it. Why is it like this? This is cute. Let’s keep going. So, while I’m steadily tidying up the stairs, please wait a little longer until the clothes are finished. Oh, Mom is also watching over various things. We’re tidying up as a family. So, she’s cleaning up. Yes. So, the stairs are sparkling clean, and we got rid of a ton of unnecessary items, but I was thinking we had to do something about it, and it all happened so quickly. That’s right. I think we’ve been putting stuff away here because we use Pan-chan’s pet food here and there, and because we pass through a lot, it’s spacious. And we’re going all out, like this, all the way to the top. Wow, it’s spacious, spacious, spacious. So, we finally got here. Before we start reducing this, there’s some material waste down below. This is the waste here, but it’s turned into a shell, so Maru-san just gave it to us, this 120cm wide, 135cm high thing , so we’ll take this. So, we’ll move this a little before the company arrives. Some of the stuff is already in, right? Yes. It looks like the garbage collectors will pay a fee, so will they even let dead stuff in? Oh, okay, let’s go to the front door. So , we’re clearing out the material waste by clearing out the trash in the courtyard, opening up space for the front door , but just taking out the original trash takes a lot of time and energy, so let’s do our best. Yes. So, we’ve been putting them out into the courtyard, and here’s what it looks like now. Well , we’ve been putting them out like this, and on rainy days we cover them with a blue tarp , and now the courtyard looks like this. So, now that there’s more space , we’re taking out the door. And now, major construction work has begun. Widening the hallway. Yes. So, we’re moving these out now, so we’re sorting the dolls. Yes. Yes. Fuh. We’re working like movers. And next up is this. It’s super blue. Oh, it really is the original color. The original color. This one is blue. Wow. Scary. It’s getting pretty messy. Living with a hard life means these things, so please work hard and vacuum. Yes. So, we vacuumed this place up nice and shiny, but it says 40 Crowns. What is it? I looked it up and found this MS40 Crown, so maybe she wanted this? She must have had a wish, right? It’s like the law of wishes being granted, like Kanam. Maybe this was her goal. So this is probably her husband’s? I wonder who wrote it? Maybe a craftsman wrote it? Yes. This has been around for about 40 years, since my father was a child. Wow. It’s been over 40 years. Yes. Yes. Sho. Cheer up. This is also for removal. We’ve put everything out at the entrance. They’ll come and collect it later. Wow, they’ve taken out a whole lot of this. And now they’re cleaning up the courtyard, which we rent out and it’s a crazy jungle of junk, covered in blue tarps. Yes, so it looks like this. Now they’re taking out the material waste that’s been sitting here for so long. What was this thing that’s been protected for so long? It’s a pile of tableware. That’s right. It’s a pile of tableware that was in the kitchen. I’ve reduced it so much that I don’t know what’s left, so I took all the materials out of the entrance and out of the house. Job number one is done. Yes. And over here is the spacious floor that we worked so hard to remove. It’s a mountain of tatami mats. Yes. So, this place is cleaned up, and next up is the second floor. The stairs are also cleaned up, so it’s easy to climb. Next up is this. They want to finish this floor by now, so let’s go ahead and do it. There’s nothing scary about it. We’ve already cleaned it once, taken out the trash, and are about to remove the door. When I opened the door, it looked like this, like yesterday, I’m used to seeing it . I don’t even think about it anymore. Oh, here we go again. So I’m going to reduce it here. Hey. My clothes just lit up and almost died. I’m seriously being killed by things. I’ve said about Maru-san about three times now. They’re also calling me YouTube. People keep saying, “Sorry there’s so much stuff,” but I don’t think anything of it. Oh, I see whiter people, so I don’t think anything of it. My standards have changed. I don’t think I’m surprised anymore, no matter which house I go to. Oh, here we go again. So, if you’re applying, don’t be shy, I’ve already reduced the amount of stuff, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Oh, I saw it. I opened it casually, and it came in a slightly high-end handbag. It was a huge treasure chest. I thought I could use it for something. And I’m sure I put it there to get something out. What a waste. These are the remains of the beans that were removed from a really big place by the demon during the second time. It’s a kimono. There were a lot of kimonos that I’d kept because I wouldn’t wear them even if I got older, and the room underneath was in such a bad state. So I ended up putting my kimonos here. Right . It’s like a place to put kimonos, … What is this? It’s a black tea-related item from a long time ago. I haven’t opened it yet, I think. It has been opened. How many years ago? No, it ‘s not 20 years old, but it’s kind of like this, and when I have tea, I bury it in ashes and make a face, which is a wasteful thing. Do you think it brings up a lot of feelings of wastefulness? It’s like a big shogi bag, and I used to write a lot of things, like a shogi bag. I bought these pictures thinking they would be good for drawing letters for some occasion. It’s fine now. So, here it is, a mountain of things to show. Oh, this is so cute again. When I find these, they’re so cute I can’t throw them away, so I keep them on when they arrive, but it’s a really nostalgic item, and it’s heavy now. It says Sony on it, and it plays CDs and radio. Yes. And it has a cassette player too. It was a pretty good one back then. I wonder how much it cost? Maybe 40,000 yen? I found something from back then, dug out from the back of the self-driving tunnel. Yes. The floor is gradually opening up, and the summer driving safety self-diagnosis design feels retro. By the way, I recently lost my beginner’s license, but I’ve had no accidents or violations. The hallway is a mess. It’s a mountain of garbage bags, so I’m going to carry them down now. I feel like I’ve already climbed 20 flights of stairs. I did n’t think there was a YouTube project as healthy as this one, and being a YouTuber is supposed to be a simple job where you just talk in front of a camera and can stay home and do it , so it’s not easy. Normally, you don’t get the chance to exercise like this, so I’m grateful that I’m able to maintain my physical and mental health while working on YouTube shoots . It’s dangerous, so the floor is spacious. Almost there. Yes. So, it looks like it’s almost over. By the way, that newspaper seems to be very popular. Most high school students get accepted into college, and this newspaper was calculated by the local newspaper. Congratulations on your acceptance. It’s a 1992 newspaper called Kennai Wide Fukuoka, so it’s 33 years old. Is that okay? Yes. Just the photos, yes. Just the photos are nice. It’s becoming a habit to take photos of things that remind me of me. Shibu, aren’t you from a generation that doesn’t know about Tarepanda? No, I know it. Tarepanda is nostalgic, as expected. But it was a long time ago. Yes. By the way, this room has a lot of stuff from Maru’s college days, like this one and Windows 98. I was still in my 30s, so it was a pain to have all these things from about 30 years ago, but it’s over now. It’s so hot, it ‘s really November 5th now, and it’s 18°C. Even with the wind at its lowest temperature, it’s still hot. No, I’m glad it’s not summer. Actually, I haven’t been accepting summer stuff lately. Everyone gets so sweaty from the shape , so I’ll clean it all up in the winter. We’re in the storage department, and well, we happen to have air conditioning here , but most homes don’t, so we don’t use it. So many of those spaces are turned into storage rooms, and whenever I go there, there’s no air conditioning , which kills me in the summer. I had a bit of a hard time, tidying up with just a fan. I think everyone should try this video to imitate tidying up. It gets the whole family moving, and it’s better to tidy up in the cold. It definitely gets really hot, so if you’re watching this video in the winter, now’s your chance. So, the floor is bare, but please take a look. Is this Ark Moving Center, not Art, but Ark? It wasn’t the whole Art Moving Center, but something like this. Is it still there? These are the remains of cardboard boxes from when we moved. I see. Right. Is it still there? No. Oh, I’ll look it up and post it in the description. I used to work part-time at Art Moving Center, so that reminds me. When I was in high school. Oh, but it’s tough, isn’t it? It’s tough. I think it was around 8 rounds. Also, I don’t know why, but uniforms and things like that cost money, and you have to work again to recoup that, so it’s common that you have to go back a few times to make up for it. Recently, to work at UbberEAT, I had to buy a Uber card, which costs money again, so I had to work part-time to recoup that. I worked part-time in the summer. Sorry. I worked part-time to save money for myself, but it really was like that. After my family filed for bankruptcy, I was really poor , so to have fun, I had to resell the cards I used for that, and I had to buy things like smartphone stands. My high school didn’t allow part-time jobs, so I only got part-time jobs after I graduated. Right after I graduated, I worked part-time at Ministop, moved houses, and worked at a summer festival stall. I lived there for a month, and set up a stall every day from Fukuoka to Kita-Niigata to celebrate the opening of the Sakura Kaikan. I set up a tent for 12,000 yen, worked part-time, and stayed in a white truck. I seriously went to the 2% battlefront and did laundry at the laundromat, and I did that all in a month. I thought it would be about 400,000 yen for that month. So, you mean, do they provide a dining table? Oh, yes. That’s right. I was working part-time at a food stall, so we’d go out to eat at restaurants after work, and they’d provide all that, but it was fun and nostalgic. Thinking back, I lived out of a really big Boston bag for a month, so for some reason this reminded me of my minimalist experience. Okay. It’s done. But, you know, it was only about two hours. You’ve sped up, Maru-san. I took everything off the floor, and now the hallway is a mess. I think it was probably fast-forwarded in parts, but I was using a time-lapse to get buzz, and, you know, that’s what it is. Actually, YouTube videos are slower. I talk to the camera, so these things come out . So I just kept quiet and fast-forwarded the whole time without the camera rolling. You ‘re right. If Maru-san didn’t talk, it would go by really quickly. It’s 6:51 , so it’s just before 7, but I’ll do one more room. I’d like to finish today and go home , but this is my seventh time here. I was actually supposed to finish today, so I’ll come back again in two weeks. I’ll open one more room then and then go home . Okay. So, the two of us will work together to take out the trash. I want to remember my part-time job pulling buckets. Okay. So, while the floor here is clean, over there it’s a mess. Oh dear, it’s a mess. That once-clean space is back to a pile of trash again. I’ve seen this process so many times, but no matter how many times I reduce it, the trash bags keep coming back. So, this is the result of reducing the shells on top. Well, you see, there was the same amount of trash, so we got this many trash bags out. By the way, in front of us, this is the hallway. Only books came out from the stairs and hallway, and there was also a storage room’s worth of junk over there. But we were able to get this far in two hours, so yeah. No, but you’ve really done it already, no no. It’s 7 o’clock, but we’ll continue. Let’s finish by doing one more storage room. Today. Yes. So this is open, and the rest of the stuff on the wall will be my homework for when I get home. Thank you. Now that this is open, I’ll head to the other room. This is the last storage room. Yes. So, I’m going to start clearing this out now, and what’s inside is a treasure chest full of cardboard boxes. Well, there’s also a fair bit of cardboard here, like kimonos and all sorts of stuff. At my feet are the platform and stuff. There are documents. Oh, I see. There are documents and stuff. This is also almost entirely cardboard, and there ‘s a whole bunch of cardboard over there, so maybe they didn’t move the park and just left it there . And when I open this one , it’s full of squid and boxes of packed beef from the closet, and I’m going to start clearing those out too. This is bad. Hold on a sec. It’s seriously mostly shells. What a waste. This is the biggest shell box room I’ve ever seen . Here. Since these are shells too, I think I’ll be done soon. There were four storage rooms , but this is the very last one, so I think they just threw everything they couldn’t be bothered to dispose of in here. Looking closely, I see that this is a computer desk. I just carried it out the entrance as a bulk trash, and it’s here too. I think it was put here when they moved, and it’s still there. It’s a computer desk that shows its age. But on the other hand, it’s kind of thoughtful, or maybe even sad. This is my seventh visit, and the end is finally in sight, and I ‘ve come to the last room. It’s quite sad. Surprisingly, it feels very poignant. That’s right. But on the other hand, even with this much stuff, I’ve managed to reduce it to this extent in seven days, so I’ll do my best to finish it off. Wow, that’s amazing. Are there still more coming out? Another ton of paper bags. This place is amazing. Sometimes, when the organizers ask for a certain number of people, they come here . Yes. Yes. The floor is slowly opening up, and I’ve noticed something that really catches my eye. There’s a computer, a bunch of newspaper magazines, a nostalgic VHS recorder, and other things that feel incredibly old. Everything here dates back 21 years since we got our own home. I brought everything here, including things I owned before then. That’s right. I think some of the things from before that are still here, so I think I used these things back then, but when I moved, they got older and got moved into this storage room, and they’ve been there ever since, and they’ve been there ever since. The newspaper is really burnt now, but that was 1999, 26 years ago. Wait, this is bad. Take a look. Pokemon X is coming out in April next year. What is Pokemon X? I just bought a Pokemon the other day, and the latest version is Pokemon ZA. I bought it about two weeks ago and have been playing it, but was there an X version? It’s just a temporary name, after all. Wow. It really does give you a sense of the era. You know, this was the era of Pokemon Red, Green, and Blue. Apparently, the codename was Pokemon X. I learned this from this old newspaper from 1999. It’s pretty amazing when you think about it. It’s the best-selling IP in Japan right now. 26 years later, these character content has become incredibly popular, and while everyone knows Pikachu and Meowth, back then, no one would have imagined they’d become this popular. Even old people and housewives are walking around town tapping away at Pokemon GO, so even people who don’t know anything about Pokemon are playing it. So, that’s great. Okay. So, as I’m taking things out, things are getting a little messy here, so I’m going to start tearing down these cardboard boxes. I’m steadily reducing the amount of stuff I own, but the hallway is a mess, so I’m going to take out the trash. Oh, clothes have arrived. I’m tidying up, so please wait a moment. So, I’m just crushing the cardboard boxes and carrying them downstairs. Oh, the fact that clothes have finally arrived here means I’m losing things. I can move around more easily. He didn’t come even once when we were in that room earlier. Maybe he felt unsafe, but he didn’t come at all. Okay, so it’s been progressing steadily, or rather, what about the other machine? Well, we’re in the PS2 era, and we’re already in the PS5 era. So , there are some original PlayStations from some era, which retro game enthusiasts will love, but is this a security measure? It’s like an anime. But I think it’s just because he brought it home . So, this is your brother’s personal belongings, so he doesn’t want to keep his own stuff at his parents’ house. I asked him why he bought this, and he’s disposing of it, so I’m taking it downstairs. Okay, so I’m going to go ahead and buy it today. I’m cleaning this up too. Okay, that’s done. So, I got rid of everything that was on the floor, and here we go. Finally, this is gone too. Well, there’s still a little bit in the back of the storage, but I’ve finished the hardest part, the stuff piled up on the floor. Good job. Good. Thank you. I did it in just one day. And look, it’s the same even when viewed from the other side. There was a lot of stuff in the hallway, including the stairs, just a moment ago, but it’s all gone now. Amazing. And it’s only been one day. You’ve worked so hard. Today, the seventh day, you’ve worked the hardest. Today, it’s a given, but the stairs are easy to navigate. They’re smooth and easy to walk on. But in exchange, this side has become a mess. The storage room at the very back is filled with trash bags and cardboard boxes. It’s weird. We thought we’d cleaned this area, but so much stuff is gone. I’m really sorry, but this will become a bit of homework. I want to tell you, too, but that’s how it feels. I added an extra day, but our schedules are two weeks away, so we have two weeks, so let’s do this again . The selection is almost done, so all that’s left is taking out the trash. Please take out the trash one more time. Why not just here, but here too? This is what was in the hallway and stairs, and this is the storage area in front, so it’ll be about two weeks until I come again, so please take out as much of the trash as possible. I ‘ll be back, and then I’ll help out with things like sorting the large material trash. Next time will be the final time, so I appreciate your help. Thank you. So it’s 9:30. I’ll start at 9:30 today. Thank you. Sorry. It took a little longer than expected, but there was already a lot of stuff, so today was the day I reduced it the most. So the clothes are all stretched out and relaxed. They’ve been pushed aside. There’s not much space, so I’ll have to push them into the corner, so please take out the trash by the time I come again next time. Sorry for the inconvenience, Mom. I’m sorry for bothering you, but I’ll be indebted to you. That’s right. We’ve overcome the most difficult part here. That’s right. So, now we’re out of that cardboard box with the cat and the hairless legs. Now all that’s left is to do our best to take out the trash. Final sprint. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. So, it’s November 5th and I’m heading home, but I’m sorry that the back is already a mess. Thank you so much for taking out all this. That’s right. Well, I’ll be taking out a little bit of my household trash each week, so please be patient. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, okay, it’s November 6th. I’m standing here, taking out all the materials. It’s the morning of November 6th. I have this much trash right now, so I’d like to take it to the garbage disposal facility first . Today is November 10th. I’ll go there again today. On November 11th, I’d like to take out the cases from the closet. Today is November 17th. I’ve moved the unwanted stuff from the back room to the front and put it here , but they’re planning to take it out today. Now, I’ll start cleaning up this area . I’ll take everything out a bit. It was just where I took out the drawers. I didn’t need almost anything. I cleaned out the drawers from earlier. I’ll get rid of that too. Now that everything is gone, I think I should have cleaned up sooner, but I guess it was good that I did it sooner. Now I’m going to take out all the little things around here. This is how much kitchen trash I’ve got. Yes. So it’s been two weeks since I’ve last been here. It’s been a while. Yes. I’ve already taken out a lot of stuff the last two times, I cleaned up twice last time, and this time, there was a two-week gap, so during that time I was communicating with them on LINE, telling them to take out the trash, and they also worked hard on the kitchen, telling them to do things like this, and to use certain items, and I gave them a lot of instructions. So, I already know what the room looks like now, mostly through photos and videos . This is my seventh visit, and I’m going to give them a tour of the room after they’ve finished cleaning up, just to see how much they’ve reduced. I also heard that all the trash in the courtyard is gone, so I’ll be showing them the courtyard too. Okay. So, we’re going into the courtyard. Ohohohoho, amazing. Okay. It’s kind of sad that they’ve taken out the trash in the courtyard too. On the other hand, even though there was so much, it’s now completely empty. Wow, it’s restored to its original state. Next, I’ll take a look inside the room. Okay, so this is the entrance, and the tea cabinet that was here is gone, and the door now opens . And this is Jazzy. There’s still more trash , but I haven’t finished taking it out here yet, so all that’s left is to reduce it, and I’d like to show you this room from this side. Thank you. I’m looking forward to this. Wow. A huge amount of trash bags are gone, and the tatami over there is gone too . Looking at it from the other side, it looks like this, and this has become your mother’s bedroom and closet, and you’ve really worked hard to get rid of the trash. With the courtyard, it’s finally a space where people can live. That was about a month ago, I think. It’s amazing that it has gone from that state where there were no steps to this. What a thing. It’s amazing. The tatami has turned green . It’s proof that you’ve worked so hard to reduce it, but it’s amazing. Your mother can now sleep here . And here she is. We also created Maru ‘s closet, and this one belongs to her mother and grandmother, but there are a total of 36 pieces of clothing here. Mako originally had them in her living room, but wait, she had to reduce the clothes scattered around and put them all together in one place, so she had all 36 pieces of clothing on the same hangers. By the way, she bought these hangers before I arrived, so they’re all on the exact same hangers. Chimi, how has it been since you created this closet? Manis’s clothing choices. When I first cleaned out, it was just getting cold, and I only had one fall/winter blouse left, so this time, to make it easier to manage, I followed Shibu-san’s example and bought some clothes from Uniqlo, which has given me the opportunity to start a routine of changing into different clothes every day. It’s amazing, I even bought the same knit sweater in three different colors, but I rotate it all winter, so I’ve started to have the freedom to incorporate a uniform look into my own clothes. I’m so touched that you’ve created such a wonderful closet for Maru. It’s hard to imagine how they’ve been living up until now , it ‘s just like they’ve been taking things from where they chose, but they’ve created a wonderful closet , and this is their mother’s closet, too, and they bought special panty hangers and things like that. They’ve thrown away all of those old plastic hangers, and Chinami and her mother had a total of about 34 pieces of clothing, so now they have all the clothes for all seasons, including pants, for spring, summer, and winter. It’s wonderful. Yes. As you can see, everything is neatly coordinated with the same hangers, and it’s just like this. This one is still a bit of homework, but it’s Maru’s kimono. Well, there are a few Japanese clothes here, and since we’ve been able to organize all the Japanese clothes from all over the house, they’re stored here, and also here are your mother’s everyday clothes, and her little hats and documents, so just to let you know about future improvements, if we buy a tension rod over there and put all the short clothes there and Maru’s clothes together, and put the long ones over there, I think we can create a family closet , and if we just redesign this place a bit more, I think we can do that. But it really does paint a picture of a life where you can move around with your clothes like this, and your mother’s favorite Japanese clothes are displayed right here. There used to be some kind of storage shelf here too, right? Right. Um, drawers and stuff. There’s a tray. So, from the Japanese-style room, this way is the living room. Yes. It’s old-fashioned. It’s wonderful. It’s beautiful. Oh, and good evening, Mom. Okay, so it’s been so much cleaner, and I’m actually kind of excited about the kitchen. By the way, today is November 18th. Well, the last time I looked was on the 5th, so it’s been two weeks since I last looked at the kitchen. Look, there’s absolutely nothing there. There was a ton of stuff there. Anno has worked hard to pare down this space, and now all that’s left is this shelf-like box. They first started paring it down on October 20th, so I’ve visited seven times in exactly one month. And, while I was away, they took out a lot of the trash. I only came once, so my memory is a bit hazy, but at first, there were tons of things hanging here, and the floor was covered in stuff. I don’t think this place even existed at first. There was a ton of storage here, and now we can even fit a winter bed for Fuku to sit on. Wow, it’s beautiful. And here too, it used to be a mess, but now we’ve made a Shinto altar . So now we have a space where clothes are likely to come. This is the most prominent spot in the living room, so we’ve created a space that’s right in front of your eyes, and I hope you’ll enjoy it. It’s here. This has become a corner for clothes. Well, I’m digging through it now, and it ‘s so easy to use, isn’t it? That’s right. It’s all neatly organized like this. As you can see , this is where Clothes’ food, pet supplies, and all of Roku’s pet-related items are kept. And best of all, Clothes touches it , so we put the pet supplies inside the lid. And next to it, we ‘ve also created a place for Fuku’s water and food. So now Maru can take out his pet sheets and change them here. It’s so compact , and everything’s neat and tidy, I don’t think it would survive the sale. Well, this place was a mess at first, too. Yeah. This place has also been beautifully renovated. Continuing on, this one. Until now, the door here wouldn’t open either. That’s right. There were so many things here. This place was also packed with stuff, but now all we have left is to feed Clothes-kun, and now this one opens, so we can actually get through. Now we can use this place properly as a guest, and we can go through to the living room over there. Yes, Mother, because we did it like this, all the paths here are connected. Now we can go through everything here. Okay, let’s go to the second floor. At first, the stairs here were so full of stuff that we couldn’t get through, but now Maru can climb them stress-free. Wow. He can climb the stairs without tripping over things he can climb. And here, too, is completely clean. At first, there were things not only on the stairs but also in this hallway, but they’re gone now. Comparing the before and after, it looks like this. It’s so clean. And here too, it’s so sad. Ohohohoho. It’s gone. Maru-san had reduced the amount of stuff here in the two weeks before I arrived, and this part was a bit too big, so we had to hire a mover, but now it’s gone and we have a lot of space to exercise. Well, there are still a few more things we could have reduced , but it’s pretty much gone. And the desk, which was untouched last time, is now pretty empty. The drawers are all neatly packed, too. Wow, it ‘s so spacious. The purchase was like this, but the other day, my brother came over and helped with his items, and as a result, it’s grown to this size. There were so many games and games in the two weeks before I arrived. What was it like seeing the PS2 and all that stuff? His reaction? He seemed nostalgic, but also disappointed that he couldn’t use it as an external device and that he’d never be able to watch videotapes again, but it seemed like he’d gotten rid of almost everything. Oh, well, he was sad and nostalgic, so maybe he did feel a little sad at the time he threw it away. But he still gave it to me . He said it was good that he’d had to get rid of it, and I’m sure he ‘d felt the need to do this someday, but Maru-san has already done so, so he’s lucky. All he has to do now is pare down his and his belongings. So, I think this is what’s left. Well, the manga that you’ve left behind are all here, and it’s amazing. You’ve really finished sorting out your belongings and job hunting before you die. Amazing. But, you know, your desk is now minimal, with only tissues, remotes, and other things you use, so your clothes are everywhere. Okay, so thank you for your hard work over the past seven days of coating. It’s gotten pretty clean now , but there’s one last spot I absolutely want to get done. While I was tidying the hallway, I pretended I didn’t see this and didn’t touch it, but let’s get it out. Let’s do it. It’s so clean, and I’m not going to forgive you for not doing this here, so I’ll just say it. Okay . This place is a mess. I’m going to get it all out. It’s a mess. What a mess ! I can’t just ignore this. So, I’m going to get it all out now . By the way, I have to catch the last bullet train later, so I only have 30 minutes, but I’m going to get it all out. Get it out, get it out. That’s why I’m so heavy. There are still tons of paper bags coming out. Okay, okay. This is the last one. Okay, so it’s a shell. It ‘s so spacious. I had a room like this. You could live in it so much you wouldn’t even need it. Seriously. This place is like an attic. It’s great that there’s a huge space big enough for two people to use as storage. Furi-chan now has more space to play. Thank you, but it’s really hard work, and even though I worked so hard to clean this place up, more stuff has accumulated. So, this place is almost full of things I don’t need, but I’m going to keep throwing them away. Okay. So, I’ve finished sorting out what I need and what I don’t need, and these are the things that remind me of me. I’d like to take a little more time to go through and reduce some of those photos and other parts, and these are the things I don’t need anymore. That’s almost all of them. And then there’s the clothes, which are already wrapped up here, but over here are the shells. What did you think? Look here. It’s a strange feeling, both because I was surprised they were still there, and because I was relieved that they were here. I did find some of the things I was looking for, but the trash has piled up again. I’m sorry, but I’d like to reduce, reduce, reduce trash. Hey, again, thank you. Thank you for all your help, no, no, please just take out the trash. Okay, so that’s seven days of Mohera coaching. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work. Well, the first day of filming was October 20th, and today is November 18th , so it was a whole month, and during that time I visited seven times, and while I was away I took out a lot of trash, and after this, there’s still a little bit of trash left, so I’ll have them take it out, and I’ll show you what happened in the end, so I’ll include a progress report video at the end, so please watch until the end, but you worked really hard. Oh, uh, thank you so much . Books, and this place, originally , was big enough for three people to sit here like this, and now it can even be used as Mom’s bedroom, and with the futon laid out here, it looks a bit minimalist, or rather, we’ve reduced it to that level. Yeah. Yeah. That’s right. It feels like January has passed so quickly, and it’s so breathtaking that I can’t even look back on it as a memory. I understand. I can’t even begin to remember what the situation was like a month ago. It ‘s hard to believe that the space I was in a month ago was like that, but it’s been decreasing at an incredible speed. It was like climbing a mountain with no footsteps, and I really couldn’t have done it alone, so thanks to Chiba-san’s guidance and encouragement, I’ve managed to get this far and almost see the finish line. Thank you. And once I’ve finally taken out the trash, it’ll really be the end, I think. I mean, I think I ‘ve almost finished sorting out what I need and what I don’t need, and, well, I think Ma-san has been making progress videos quite a bit while I’ve been away, but she ‘s gotten pretty good at sorting things out on her own, even while I’m away . She ‘s developed a mindset of throwing things away, so she can reduce the amount even without me, and she’s really been working hard on the shadow camera scenes. Thank you for all your help. I’m glad you kept it long . I’ve been here a few times, but what do you think, Mom? I mean, what do you think of this, or rather, what do you think of this room ? I’m living with the feeling that it’s going to be a much more comfortable place to live. Yes. There were 230 years’ worth of things, including things from your father’s past and things from your mother’s youth , and over the last 10 years or so, it had all turned into a huge junkyard. Anyone would say it was a bit of a junkyard, but I don’t know. As you’ve been reducing the amount of stuff you own, the house has gotten bigger and bigger, and it’s become easier to live in . It’s easier to move around, and the stress you feel in the kitchen has really lightened your body, so I think that’s really true. I think being in this house is stressful, and choosing clothes, cleaning, and other housework puts a huge strain on your body. Well, it’s a household where even the dog is struggling, so it’s like the clothes can’t live freely, and even when I take off my mask, it’s not that stressful. Even if I take off my mask, I don’t sneeze or have a runny nose anymore, and the air circulation has really improved, so yes. That’s right. Is there anything else you’d like to say to the viewers in closing? I really have come this far thanks to Shibu-san’s encouragement, but please don’t be so sulky. But seriously, the amount of effort and time it took was incredible, and I’m talking about it now, but Moufu-kun, you’ve really got to be so spacious and all that. The biggest reason is that I wouldn’t have gotten this far if I had done it alone , so, well, to be honest, I don’t even go to these so-called garbage houses where the client requests it. Well, the reason is that, from the perspective of minimalism, which is about keeping only the things you need , a garbage house is one in which both parties have to live, and in reality, it’s often the case that the whole thing is thrown away without any choice , and a garbage house doesn’t simply end up like that because of a personality that can’t throw things away, but like Maru-san, you have to take care of someone , and there was a time when your life was really busy and messy, and it ended up in this state, so you can’t just stop at that, you have to restructure that person’s lifestyle . You have to face life, so it’s not just a matter of tidying up and living. I don’t usually take on requests because of the mansion issue , but after reading what you wrote, meeting with you, and hearing about your recent living situation, I thought that if you made the time, you could probably cut down on your weight. And my hunch was right. From day one, I knew this person could definitely do it, and I listened to them because I thought they could cut down on their weight if they just took the time. But they’ve cut down even more than I expected, so I really felt like I’ve grown a lot after a month of working with them, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens from here on out. It really was written on Shibu’s five obi strips this time. It really feels like we started from there, about taking it back in our own lives, so I’m really excited and a little nervous about what will happen from here until we reach the goal. What a person. Wow. Well, I’m glad to hear you say that. I feel like I’ve really saved someone’s life. Next week, you’ll be taking a trip to Kyoto, and all the time and money you’ve probably spent on tidying up will be freed up, and you’ll be able to enjoy traveling and other evening activities. And you’ll also be spending time with your clothes and your mother, and I’ve heard you say that you’re excited about your future and that you’ve reclaimed your life. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next. Thank you. That was it. So, if you’d like Minimalist Shibu to help you tidy up, or if you’re someone who has appeared on YouTube and allowed me to share your room, I’m traveling around the country for free to organize these events. Right now, I’m really getting a lot of applications, so I’m accepting applications irregularly, but please subscribe to my social media or channel. I’ll announce when applications start, so I look forward to subscribing and following you. While Maru was tidying up, he was taking notes on what he learned from my study group. We also hold free seminars, such as the Minimalist Introductory Seminar , which helps you organize your belongings, money, and digital assets in three months. Please sign up for LINE in the description section. If you sign up for LINE, you can also get other information, such as a list of 30 questions to ask when you’re unsure whether to let go , 50,000 simple words to deepen your minimalist thinking, and information for people who don’t know how to throw things away. I’m sure you’ve heard of people who don’t know how to throw things away, like how to throw away their computers, right? So, we’ve got a guidebook that explains all of that, including how to throw away 35 types of items. We’re also giving away free gifts like AI and a set of 155 app icons to declutter your smartphone home screen, so please sign up for the official site in the description section. You’ve been tidying up for a few days now, and I’m sure you’re a little lost for words right now. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of thoughts you want to share , so I’ll see you later. Maru-san will also send you a progress report video later, so please be sure to watch until the end to see how Maru-san is living. So, thank you for your hard work over the seven days of coaching. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. It’s been two weeks since we finished tidying up to pursue a minimalist lifestyle. It’s already December, and the tidying project we started in mid-October has already begun, so it’s been a while. So, last time, you hadn’t taken out the trash since the last tidying up, so since you’d already gone out, I came by to check whether you’d taken out the trash properly and whether you’d finished reducing the amount properly. So, I’ll take a look at your room and see how it’s going. Hello. And good morning to your mother too. Yes. Thank you. This is Oshiro-sama. Sorry. It’s a big deal, no, no. So, you’ve reduced the amount of stuff you own, which is fine. You’ve been living in this state for about two or three weeks now, so I think I’ll finish by asking you about any changes in your mindset. So, hoho , you’ve finally finished taking out the trash here, and you’re feeling more at ease again. Thank you. Yes, I know. I’m sure it was really hard for you to take out the trash after you left , but thank you so much. It all worked out somehow. Tidying isn’t just about deciding whether or not to tidy up, it’s about taking out the last trash. And it’s nice here just the way it is. There’s plenty of sunlight, and it’s beautiful. This room was so clean. That’s right. So, I’ve been here since this morning, and it ‘s December 6th. I’m going to stop now. I’m crying, so please stop now. That’s right. You’re right. I hope it never happens again. I’m begging you not to do it again. But, you see, I’ve been working with you for about a month and a half now, and I’ve been reborn in both the space and my mind, and I’m really looking forward to going to the courtyard for the last time today. Wow, I’ve done it. It really has. A month has flown by. Well, it’s been almost two months. It’s been two months in a flash, but excluding today, I’ve already visited seven times. Now, a little bit of time has passed, and I ‘m wondering if my state of mind has changed. I feel a vague sense of stress, both physically and emotionally, because there’s nothing to see. So, when I try to pile up some things, I feel like I’ll throw them away soon, or like I want to keep them . It’s like I feel weird keeping things around. Before, I had so much stuff, and that was normal, but now that I’m used to not having stuff, when I find things I don’t need or leave them lying around, I feel like I have to put them back . So, what do you think? Are there any areas where you want to reduce things even more, or are you concerned about something? Yes. I feel like there are some things that we’ve left behind after tidying up in the first half, and that we could actually reduce the amount. That’s right. And this courtyard, which was completely full of trash, has grown into a place where we can chat leisurely and comfortably. That’s right. At first, it was just a pile of trash and we didn’t know what to do with it, but thanks to you, Ku-chan has become able to move around the room, going back and forth between rooms, so I think that’s great. So, I’d like to end by asking a few words to your mother. So, I’d like to end by asking a few words to your mother. What do you think? Try living in a place that’s this clean? Well, I’m sorry for having you look after me and tidying up so hard. Thank you so much. Um, well, um, this time it looks like Maru and I are tidying up together, but behind the camera, her mother also helped out a little with taking out the trash and did some cleanup and tidying up, and seeing her daughter, or rather her child, tidy up all at once was really nice. Yeah. Yeah . Thank you very much. It’s all indebted. Really, every time Shibu-san came over for about two months, it felt like a club training camp , and I felt that it was a really intense seven days of the week, and even comparing it to the beginning and looking at photos, it’s completely different, and it really makes Shibu-san a great person. No, no, really, thank you. Thank you so much. That’s right. Well , I’m happy that you call me a person, but Maru-san was the one who worked the hardest, so thank you for your hard work. Thank you. So, bye-bye. That’s the announcement. Adding Minimalist LINE gives you free access to 5 unreleased YouTube tidying videos and room tour videos , a set of 150 app icons and wallpapers to neatly organize your smartphone home screen, a list of 30 questions to ask when you’re unsure whether to let go of something, a one-on-one Zoom consultation with a Minimalist chapter member, and a collection of links to minimalist rooms for interior design inspiration.
