The Japanese man who gets paid to 'do nothing' - BBC REEL
Shoji Morimoto provides a very unusual rental service to his clients in Tokyo, hiring himself out in order to, quite literally, do nothing.
He has fashioned a career out of renting himself out to clients who simply don't want to be alone. Shoji doesn't engage in conversation or do anything other than just be there at whatever event or activity he has been hired to attend, and yet he is in high demand, scheduling one to three sessions a day.

Hi @BBC Reel, I think there is some issues with the audio mixing in this video. If you play the audio for this video in mono, many of the speaking voices from the interview with the guy would just be gone and completely cannot be heard. From my understanding, this can happen when the left and right audio signals destructively cancel each other when mixed into monosound, and which produces distorted/muffled sound. I have some hearing issues with one of my ear, so I play videos with accessibility settings enabled to mix stereo/surround sound into monosound. I hope your audio engineer can figure out a setup that would avoid these kinds of issues in future videos 😀

idk why people are confused by him saying “creepy vibes” but i’ll try and explain. When he is “doing nothing” with the people, he doesn’t make anything awkward or weird, and he doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable. Sometimes someone who makes others feel uncomfortable may seem like a creep or a wierdo. Hence, giving off “creepy vibes”
He is actually doing a lot for the women in the video. He is an on demand traveling companion. He is professional (punctual and respectful, and does not make sexual or relationship demands on these women). He is also a good listener. For the women there are no obligations like with a friend. He gives support when and where the women want and then the women can move on with their lives.

For example, facial expressions or a vibe around someone, even if it is sometimes very subtle, can tell more than 1000 words. Conscious listening and observation can certainly be a social skill. Many people talk and carry on a conversation, but not many people are really good at conscious listening and observing. Those things are definitely ''social skills'' in my books.

The story about him wearing the hat because the girl’s partner wore it and ended his life really hit me in the feels. This was her way of letting go formally. She was moving to a new city for a new life. My guess is that she was suffering on the inside because she lost her partner like this. And by symbolically waving goodbye to the city with him representing her now gone partner, she could let go much easier. Suddenly i respect this man’s services. And i hope the best for that woman.

He's really close to a therapist in reality, to be truly heard is something a lot of people are missing in the current world, and he provides it. By being there to do "nothing" he is actually listening and helping out his clients. Most people just need someone to help them unload the stressful things going on in their lives. Of course, not every client is looking for that, but many of these cases they just need a "friend" to help em out with something.

Actually, I think "Doing nothing guy" is genius branding in its own right. As other people have written, he often steps into the role as a sort of "therapist". And the common experience almost all people have with therapists is a person who literally does nothing but sit and listen to you. So instead of going to a therapist, people would rather just hire a person who purports to do the exact same thing, only explicitly. It simply makes more sense. Especially for women. I can't count the number of times I've been asked out only to be someone to whom they can vent all their troubles. And it honestly doesn't bother me. But in a society like Japan, where people are so incredibly busy with work and interests, merely being a person who is virtually present in somebody's life is marketable. It has an inherent commercial value, because it's rare to come by even though everyone needs it.

It’s a lot. It’s probably very soothing and healing, just to have a relaxed person next to you who doesn’t expect anything from you, he’s just there for you.

He doesn't advertise, just tweets. For scheduling he gets DMs on Twitter and responds to the ones that interest him. He doesn't actually get paid for the actual service and (with some exceptions) prefers not to take repeat clients, so no need to build clientele. His niche is literally doing nothing. Some people in Japan are professional listeners. He will listen but prefers not to have to respond. That would be doing something. He certainly doesn't give advice. He and his family lived off their savings until he was able to generate income through his book, which someone else wrote for him. It's a thoughtful book. I heartily recommend it.

It takes a pretty unique person to provide a service like this. You have to be someone who's presence is so entirely non-offensive that you can fit into so many scenarios. Plus there's a need to be reserved. Him not talking unless they start a conversation seems pretty difficult for an outgoing person. Also for him to help with the people who just need to talk to someone about heavy topics, he has to be a really good listener.
