Podcast "Shinyawaku. ~Working Adults' Sub-audio~" Renewed! Season 2, Episode 1 Featuring Collage Artist Q-TA Discussing "Collage Thinking" and Organizations/Careers to be Distributed Sequentially from April 13th.

Hyakkajihen Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshihiro Narisawa) will be renewing its Podcast channel "Shinyawaku. ~Working Adults' Sub-audio~" as Season 2. Starting April 13th, the first episode featuring collage artist Q-TA as a guest will be distributed sequentially. Additionally, on April 6th, the pre-renewal announcement episode, "Episode 0," featuring talent Mai Hamada, who will serve as co-MC from Season 2, will be distributed. **■ Background of the Renewal** Since its launch in August 2025, "Shinyawaku. ~Working Adults' Sub-audio~" has aimed to bring new perspectives to Japan's accelerating career scene, which is facing a declining birthrate, by inviting guests active in various fields and bringing out their true essence – their "sub-audio" – which is often not visible on resumes or during interviews. However, as the name "Shinyawaku." suggests, career discussions can become stiff and difficult precisely because of their earnest nature. The desire was to nurture the channel into one that could be enjoyed more casually and entertainingly. Based on this desire, the decision was made to renew for Season 2. **■ Season 2 Concept and New System** The focus will be on "changes" and "combinations" of all kinds in the world. What happens when different things combine? How do people adapt when they accept change? Centered on these questions, the show will invite guests active in various fields to find hints for organizational development and career formation. The aim is to create a channel that is casually enjoyable like late-night radio, yet sparks a little curiosity. Additionally, from Season 2, the show will be delivered under a new system, welcoming multi-talented Mai Hamada, who is active as an event MC and model, as a co-MC. **■ Season 2, Episode 1 Guest: Collage Artist Q-TA** The first guest for the Season 2 renewal is Q-TA, who works as an art director and collage artist. Active both domestically and internationally, Q-TA creates fashionable and pop collage and visual works that express surrealism with his unique interpretation. His works include contributions to GUCCI's art project "#GucciGram" and Disney's film "Alice Through the Looking Glass," CD jacket designs for artists such as Vaundy and Ryokuoushoku Shakai, and book cover/illustration designs including Keigo Higashino's "Silent Parade." He boasts over 120,000 followers on Instagram. Currently, in addition to his artistic activities, he conducts workshops nationwide for business people and students based on "collage thinking." In this first episode of the renewal, Q-TA will be invited as a guest to discuss themes such as "What is the work of a collage artist?", "What is collage thinking?", and "Collage thinking and organizations/careers," all delivered with plenty of humor and laughter.
