If you play Momotetsu in real life, your "wishes" will come true.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

First, I'd go on a trip, eat that,

buy clothes, buy a house

and list all the things I want to do, right?

But reality isn't that sweet.

Right now, I have no money.

I have no time.

I have no courage.

I'm busy with work.

and so on.

When I look at my real self, I inevitably

end up facing the version of myself that hasn't achieved anything,

and it makes me feel sad.

Fighting against my real self

I think I spent my 30s feeling

that same sense of frustration.

But I realized that a wish for oneself

is about more than just being able to do what you like;

I realized that the level of happiness

is what's truly important.

Saying that your wishes don't come true

because you lack money or time

is, when you think about it, just a comparison with someone else.

First, it occurred to me that "not comparing" is where

everything begins, so I started thinking

about what my true wishes are.

What made me realize that were

the two books "The Courage to Be Disliked" and "The Courage to Be Happy".

They are books that came out a long time ago,

but there are still many points that make me think.

Even now, they still have a lot to teach me.

Don't keep nurturing your inferiority complex or

think of others as horses or

don't praise and don't be praised and so on,

every single word sinks in.

Saratame-san's latest video

summarizes it very well,

so I hope those who have time will definitely watch it.


So, based on this, Inves

What I am practicing is

acting as if my wishes have already come true

that is what it means.

The song "Negai" by B'z is exactly that kind of song.
I listen to it often as well.


I wished that one day I would retire, achieve FIRE, and spend my time

living a life of leisure with my wife.

But just wishing for it won't make it come true.

So, what should I do?

Make an effort to find a higher-paying job next.

That is one thing.

But that is not it.


I have to change my way of thinking first.



So, what did I do first to make my wish come true?



That's right.


First, to change my way of thinking, I had to play "Momotetsu".

What is Momotaro Dentetsu?

"Momotaro Dentetsu (commonly known as Momotetsu)" is a timeless masterpiece game released in 1988 as software for the Family Computer. In it, players become the president of a railway company, travel around real stations across Japan using a board game style, purchase properties at each station, and compete for the highest total assets. It has been turned into a series and is still enjoyed by a wide range of generations today.

Overview of Momotaro Dentetsu


What I mean by that is,

it means spending time with the feeling of being a railway company president.

Those who have played Momotetsu
will understand, but

thevictory condition for this game
is that the president with the highest total assets at the end
wins the game.

The goal of this game is to protect your own assets
and become the one with the most total assets, but

you get tossed around by unreasonable Bomby gods,
or have your assets stolen all at once by pickpockets,

or have your land taken away due to various problems like being bought out,

or lose all your assets due to climate change,

so it is a very difficult game to protect your own assets.

To be honest, the game does not proceed smoothly.

You get frustrated and your relationships can turn sour.

However, this game contains many elements and ways of thinking
that make wishes come true.

I personally believe there are two strategies
for this game.

1. Not just your own happiness,
but contributing to the local people (other players).


2. The goal (destination) is always changing.
Use the skills (cards) for that purpose effectively.

The true victory condition


When these two things are achieved, the president (player)
becomes happy.

Even though it's a game about competing for total assets.

What does that mean?

What is truly necessary for the winning condition is
a "sense of contribution to others" and "not fearing change."

As a result, the president who plays and behaves with that in mind
becomes number one. If you focus too much on being number one, it doesn't go well,

and you can't become number one without supporting your rivals.

So, what is number one?

That's right.

It's just a result. Therefore, the mindset for making wishes come true is

that you just need to play "Momotetsu" in real life.

You realize this.

that you just need to play "Momotetsu" in real life.

You realize this.

Move toward your goal,

and act with composure as if your wishes are already coming true,

like a president playing Momotetsu.

By "being conscious of your contribution level,"

it leads to

"having your wishes come true."

I think that's what it means.

When you play Momotetsu,

your daily mindsetalso changes.

Will this benefit those people (the community)?

Can I protect the people in that place?

Is this helping that person?

Am I living solely by my own desires?

Am I desperate to protect my own comfort zone?

Am I continuing to mistake myself for a genius and neglecting to study?

Am I polishing my skills and my character?

Am I comparing others and ranking them?

This is the image I have of how a true president behaves.



There is no other game that makes you realize things like this.

As the title suggests,

Momotaro Dentetsu World
~The World Revolves Around Hope~

The world revolves around hope.

It is okay to live with hope.

Momotetsu teaches us that.

It is a game you can enjoy even by yourself.

Please, if you are interested, give it a try.



I'm also on X.

The number of times you step up to the plate attracts your wishes.

By making it a habit, I acquired ten weapons,

the strength to overcome the devil of the third day,

and incidentally, I was able to dig deep and find the strength to overcome malice as well.

As a result, I learned that this world is kind to those who take on challenges.

In the end, those who enjoy themselves win.
