Since Mr. Maezawa is almost always the only one answering questions in the Q&A box, I think people end up mistakenly assuming that his opinions represent the consensus of all the staff.

Kida here. I thought the same thing: “Maezawa is incredible.” Just in case the questioner or other readers have a different understanding from mine, let me clarify: Our internal rules and systems are in complete chaos. Even I, the person who goes, “Hmm, okay, let’s make it this!” and decides things, don’t really know what the rules are supposed to be. So Maezawa saying, “…that’s how it seems to me” is actually the correct answer. Besides, it aligns perfectly with our company values of “honesty, transparency, and dedication,” so Maezawa, you can look forward to your evaluation next season. Because I’m such an idiot, the way the rules are applied has become vague, and Maezawa is now the only employee brave enough to answer on behalf of the club. I read Maezawa’s answers every time. If he ever gave a wrong answer, I’d be ready to dropkick him, but annoyingly, he’s never wrong and often writes better answers than I do, which had been getting on my nerves. What I originally wanted was for three people to give three different answers to each question, creating a more nuanced and in-depth discussion. But that plan spectacularly failed. That isn’t Maezawa’s fault, though. The problem is all of us—including me—who are reluctant to put ourselves on the front lines. He was fighting alone on a battlefield with hundreds of arrows flying at him, while the rest of us were sipping piña coladas under beach umbrellas. If Maezawa hadn’t been answering questions, I don’t think anyone would be asking anything by now. That said, it’s only natural that people also want to hear answers from the coordinators working on the ground. The current staff are insanely busy, so please look forward to hearing from them once the new-hire training settles down after July.
