Don’t papas who collect lucky charms and healing crystals seem kind of scary?
This content is machine-translated.
Is it about praying for divine help? Spirituality? Or is it their wife’s hobby?
I really can’t deal with men who wear crystal bracelets…
Do you believe in spirituality and things like that?
I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this one too.
I don’t know what kind of effects power stones are supposed to have, but I understand the feeling of wondering what people who believe in that sort of thing are like.
That said, I do like the idea that if you make the microcosm inside you explode, you can unleash incredible power.
Does that count as spiritual too? (lol)

I’m in Seattle.
I don’t believe in gods at all. I think that when we die, we simply turn to ash and disappear.
I enjoy looking at temples and shrines, but I don’t pray. I make decisions at work based solely on probability.
I have no problem throwing away good-luck charms. I never did anything for protection against bad luck, yet good things kept happening to me.

I’m Taro, a male member.
I think it’s fairly common among business owners. A while back, it was almost a cliché at owner-run companies to have a Shinto altar in the president’s office. A lot of them are also really into fortune-telling. I was once introduced to a mama at a Ginza hostess club who was famous for having remarkably accurate predictions.
I don’t generally believe in that kind of thing, but if something seems to work, I make full use of it. One recent example is chanting “I want to sleep with a good woman” three times when I visit a shrine for New Year’s.

I’m Aya, a female member who just took about $10,000 in profits from the U.S. market. I’m so happy.
The papas (male supporters) who have made it big through stocks and have assets of over ¥10 billion often visit Ise Jingu once a year as a good-luck ritual, or give me an amulet from a local shrine they’ve visited.
The other papas also seem to value their ancestors, making sure to visit their graves even when they’re far away. They don’t wear any strange prayer beads, though.
I hardly believe in that sort of thing, but I do value the place where I was born and visiting graves, just like anyone else.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
I don’t believe in that stuff either, and I’m not comfortable with women who start talking about “power spots.”
You do occasionally come across business owners who are into that kind of superstition. Since business is often influenced by luck, I can understand why they’d want to engage in those rituals. So far, no business owner who’s into superstitions has recommended a power stone to me, so it hasn’t really bothered me—it’s someone else’s thing.
