I sometimes see answers that have absolutely nothing to do with the question.
This content is machine-translated.
This isn’t about people saying, “There are already enough answers, so I’ll offer a different perspective.”
At its worst, even when multiple answers have been submitted, every single one is either off-topic or focuses only on a minor part of the question rather than the main point.
I’m sure all of you who answer are busy, and I’m truly grateful that you take the time to respond voluntarily, but do you actually read the questions carefully before answering?
Sometimes there are questions where it’s hard to understand what the person is trying to say, or what they mean isn’t clear. But even with questions that are perfectly understandable if you read them properly, I still see answers that completely miss the point.
Also, does Mr. Maezawa perhaps not have very good reading comprehension…?
In the recent question, “If a female member is threatened by one of the male members, will all men who have experience with arrangements become subject to investigation?” someone other than the original questioner pointed out the misunderstanding, but even after it was pointed out to him, does he still not understand?
I feel like people will say, “Then you should become an answerer yourself,” but with my limited experience and knowledge, there are only a few things I could answer.
I find this Q&A site very informative, so it’s especially disappointing when questions that I would like to see answered by people with extensive papa-katsu experience and life experience are misread and receive answers that miss the point.

When I was working, this reminded me of times when my boss would say, “Answer the question!” (laughs)
It’s not easy to properly understand a question and give a precise answer.
I also remember that whenever I tried to explain the background or reasons, I’d end up straying from the heart of what I’d been asked. (laughs)
The real issue is why things turned out that way. But when you’re right in the middle of it, getting to that “why” can be difficult…
In any case, even if someone answering may be straying from the core of the question, I imagine they probably have something they want to express—or something they want others to hear. It might be interesting to listen to what they’re trying to say and think about why their answer took that form.
This, too, is nothing more than a personal reflection—not really a question or an answer.
It’s unnecessary, perhaps, but I just felt like saying it. (laughs)

Maezawa from Corporate Planning here as well.
I try to give proper answers whenever possible, but I realize they don’t always turn out to be what people were hoping for.
In those cases, though, I think you can simply choose not to read my answer.
Lately, more people have started answering questions, so there’s a wider variety of responses. I think you can just pick out whichever ones you find helpful.
By the way, answering questions isn’t part of my job. (lol)
If you check the times I post, you’ll see that some of my answers are written outside business hours.
That said, I also answer quite often during work hours, so it’s actually kind of bad…
So, in a sense, my answers are volunteer work too.

I’m a male member of UC and a member of the new salon as well.
As one of the respondents, I take the questioner’s comments seriously, and I’ll make an even greater effort to be careful.
That said, while I do intend to be more mindful, I plan to maintain my basic stance of writing what I myself want to write.
I think you understand this too, but I’m not doing this as a business or as part of my job. So naturally, the atmosphere is different from formally responding to a client’s question in a professional setting. In fact, perhaps it’s precisely because the atmosphere is a little more relaxed and informal that people can exchange frank opinions.
Of course, when I say I’ll write what I want to write, I don’t mean completely incomprehensible posts or writing that attacks others unnecessarily. Those would understandably make readers uncomfortable and would need to be improved.
However, if the issue is simply that an answer is slightly off target, that someone enthusiastically writes about something that isn’t really the main point, or that there are a few typos, I hope you’ll forgive it as part of the respondent’s personality.
I’d be grateful if we could continue exchanging opinions in a fun and friendly way.
