Daimaou Furusaka took the stage as a lecturer at the “AVEX CLASS” held at Yamagata Prefectural Yonezawa Higashi High School on Wednesday, October 2nd, and gave a career education class to approximately 370 first- to third-year high school students. I did it.

“Avex Class” is a career education program run by Avex Inc. as part of its sustainability activities. Artists, talents, creators, and athletes visit educational institutions across the country and tell children the importance of “the ability to believe in talent and dreams” through their own experiences.

This time, she said, “I want more students to proudly say they like what they like, and to be unafraid of change.” “I want more students to be able to express their feelings and ideas in words with confidence.” Based on the school’s desire to teach children about their children’s lives, the class taught by Demon King Furusaka was realized.

Furusaka, who served as a lecturer on the day, recalled the story of his desire to become a comedian and said, “When I was in kindergarten, I was happy when I did something funny and people around me laughed.From there, I realized that it was fun to make people laugh.” “I started to think so.”

Furthermore, regarding the tips for finding what you like and your dreams, he said, “I have found what I like 100% of the time.If you haven’t found it yet, it’s just because you don’t realize it.When there’s a lot of information, it’s hard to understand, but it’s a good idea to When it comes to dreams, he says, “Dreams are not something you should have, but something you have on your own.You don’t have to have them, but dreams can enrich your life and become your goals.” spoke.

The second half was a question and answer period for the students. When asked, “Sometimes being too assertive can end up hurting those around you,” Furusaka replied, “Everything is about balance. Be assertive in a way that doesn’t hurt others, such as casually inserting your own points into what the other person wants to do.” “There are ways to do it, and it’s important to correct it yourself,” he said, giving advice in a way that is sensitive to the students’ concerns.

At the end of the class, in response to a question from a student who was indecisive and not good at making choices, he said, “If you try to declare it yourself or put it into words, you will be able to make decisions. If you feel uncomfortable later, you can decide again at that time.When making decisions, make decisions first and correct them if you make a mistake! ” he cheered, quoting the slogan of the students taking entrance exams at Yonezawa Higashi High School.

Lastly, we will give advice on how to acquire the power to take action. Encourage students by saying, “What you can’t do today, you won’t be able to do in five years. Talk to others about what you’re going to do and when, and try to make some moves. Start with two days, then a week, then a month.” Encourage students. I finished the lesson with words.
