Rising prices, reduced pensions, and stagnant wages. As of 2026, the "20 million yen retirement problem" is intensifying rather than being resolved. While the side-hustle boom accelerates, many people are quitting, unable to make money in the overcrowded domestic flea market. A sense of stagnation that "working hard doesn't pay off" is spreading, particularly among those in their 50s and 60s. Today, a book that powerfully proves "your life changes just by changing where you fight" has been published.
Tukushi, winner of the Bunka Broadcasting "Business & Innovation Award," published her first book today. After losing her job due to ADHD and reaching a bottom of 5 million yen in debt, she achieved 300 million yen in annual sales. She has garnered attention from various quarters, including appearances on radio shows with former Fuji TV announcer Kasai and multiple features in NTT-affiliated media.
This book is the first to fully detail her personal experience of how "your life changes just by changing where you fight."
"Why don't I earn money even though I'm working hard?"—The answer is in this book.
"Salaries aren't rising," "I tried side-hustles but couldn't earn money." In this day and age, countless people are swallowing those words. Many people are searching for ways to change their situation despite the stagnation of working hard in Japan without reward.
Tukushi was once one of them. Laid off due to ADHD and 5 million yen in debt from failed side-hustles, she was living in a share house with 30,000 yen rent, facing dunning notices. She found the catalyst to change her life from "a single question" she had one day.
Among her 400 students, some achieved their first earnings in just one month and reached a monthly income of 300,000 yen after six months. The book contains the "question" and the methods that changed her life.
What this book aims to convey
"You don't need English skills, inventory, or a significant amount of capital." The book is filled with the basis for Tukushi's assertion. It proves that by changing "where you fight," you can earn money regardless of age or background, based on the author's true story.
It features the astonishing true story of her mother in her 60s, who was tech-illiterate (needing to ask how to record programs on TV), who started earning 300,000 yen a month just by pressing buttons. After reading it, the meaning of the phrase "it's impossible for me" should change.
Who is this book for?
"I'm anxious about whether pension alone is enough, but I don't know what to do."
This book is dedicated first and foremost to housewives and seniors in their 50s and 60s.
Of course, it is also for: - Those who want to earn money at home without physical labor. - Those who have never tried a side-hustle or part-time job. - Those who feel limited by Mercari or domestic reselling. - Those who have given up on side-hustles because they thought it "wasn't for them."
If any of these apply to you, I highly recommend reading it.
Comment from the author, "Tukushi"
"When I was drowning in debt and failing to get results, I was always fighting in the wrong place. The moment I moved to the right place, everything changed dramatically. I've written everything about where that place is and how to get there in this book."
