These two individuals with different specializations discuss various 'matters that cannot be clearly divided into black or white' – referred to as 'aida' (in-betweenness).

Please enjoy their cross-talk as they delve into this 'just right' search.
In this main episode, they extensively discuss 'aida,' covering topics such as 'companies desperately trying to inspire internal motivation,' 'the irrational is stronger,' 'is it a rule or spontaneity,' 'nations cannot select their members, corporations can select their members,' and 'people get addicted to 'oshi-katsu' (fandom activities) because there's nothing else to believe in.'
