? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get a peek into the life of a <\/strong>Rental Person Who Does Nothing<\/a><\/strong>. For starters this isn't a novel but a memoir of Shoji Morimoto<\/a> \u2014 it's also not your typical autobiography either. Instead, he responds to questions from an anonymous interviewer, delving into his professional persona as well as his personal life. <\/p>\n

His unique service involves hanging out with clients, mainly listening to them rather than<\/strong> engaging in conversation.<\/strong>You get a glimpse into the requests Morimoto receives and accepts from his clients, through his X account<\/a> which range from mundane to peculiar. For instance, one client simply wants Morimoto to tell them their pet is cute, while another seeks solace in sharing a hamburger after losing their job multiple times.<\/p>\n

He also shares anecdotes about his family and his own struggles with employment and<\/strong> societal pressures in Japan. <\/strong>Morimoto\u2019s resistance to what he calls \u201cBS jobs\u201d aligns with his desire for people to lead stress-free lives, without the pressure of constant reciprocity and societal expectations. Despite not actively doing anything, Morimoto quickly gained attention from media outlets worldwide, inspiring a TV series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can get your copy of Morimoto\u2019s memoir from <\/strong>Amazon<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
