Yosuke Horikoshi (Project Researcher, University of Tokyo / Philosophy Dialogue) and Hikaru Kashida (Digital Agency / Data Analysis). The two, with their different areas of expertise, discuss various "things that cannot be neatly categorized as either black or white, but exist in between" in the world – the "aida." By exploring these "aida" between one thing and another, they create unpredictable chemical reactions and offer listeners new insights. Please enjoy the cross-talk of these two as they seek the "just right."

In this episode, they delve into "Joined Mercari in 2016," "First thing I bought on Mercari," "Mercari: Ownership and Sharing," "Joined through referral hiring," "Replacing things in the world," "Absolute inviolable individual ownership," and "Mercari's fee structure," among other topics related to "aida."
