While affirming the intent behind One Japan, this essay argues that the decisive issue is safeguarding confidential information in a multi-company framework.
By including Asahi Shimbun among founding members, it warns that research results will be exposed to rivals such as South Korea and China.
It also argues for restructuring Japan’s PC industry, rebuilding TRON, and restoring a customer-first corporate ethos.

In fact, until recently, the president of KDDI and the president of SONY were seniors from my alma mater.

The following is from an essay I published on 2016/9/19.
Omitted introduction.
Because the president of NTT is someone equivalent to my senior, my classmate, or my junior, I conveyed that.
In fact, until recently, the president of KDDI and the president of SONY were seniors from my alma mater.
When I saw the news on television that young employees of NTT and others had formed One Japan, I thought my proposal might have reached them.
In the past, Japan’s first-rate companies did not let a customer’s phone ring more than three times.
Second- and third-rate companies casually kept customers waiting.
That alone explains why the PC divisions of Japan’s proud electronics manufacturers continue to run deficits.
Today, it is no exaggeration to say that the only company that values customers the most among PC, smartphone, and internet-related companies is Apple.
It is an ironic situation that Apple, an American company that brought the bad habit of mechanizing telephone support to Japanese firms, now treats customers with the spirit of Japan’s former first-rate companies.
Like Microsoft, Apple is a company that possesses the software that runs PCs.
Japan’s electronics makers had TRON PCs crushed and became mere manufacturers of PC boxes, and there is no way their PC divisions can generate profits.
I used Vista and Windows 10, but I stopped using Vista.
Because it will become unusable next year.
A high-end machine that cost hundreds of thousands of yen becomes nothing but trash.
The PC divisions of Japan’s electronics makers should be separated and become a single company.
At that time, minor differences must be overcome and integrated, and it is precisely there that we should invest our tax money, because manufacturing PCs in Japan must never be eliminated from the standpoint of national security.
At the same time, we must gather the excellent minds of Japan’s world-class companies and create TRON once again.
The essence is to create software with 99.9% perfect security.
If we do so, Japan can immediately become a world leader.
It can fulfill its role as the nation where the turntable of civilization is turning.
I emphasized that this is true innovation and what Japan must urgently do.
More than a month passed, and the news of One Japan’s formation appeared.
Ninety-nine percent is correct, but one percent is completely unacceptable.
The major problem is how to maintain secrecy, and the young employees who appeared there probably did not notice this at all.
Because multiple companies are gathering, unlike a single-company effort, preventing leaks of confidential information is the most important issue.
That they have not noticed this is made clear by the fact that they included Asahi Shimbun among the founding members.
Those who want Japan’s technology more than anyone, and who seek to know its cutting-edge成果, are South Korea and China, Japan’s strongest and greatest rivals in the global market.
All the engineers who gathered in One Japan are people equivalent to juniors from my alma mater, but omitted.
One Japan’s motivation and concept are correct.
However, there is one thing that must be done immediately.
Asahi Shimbun (no media-related people at all must be included) must be removed from the members at once.
If you fail to do so, all of your research成果 will be completely exposed to South Korea and China.
If I were the president of the company you belong to, I would not allow such a foolish act, below even a kindergartener, as having you conduct important research in such a place.
Young engineers of Japan, representative of the nation, who are equivalent to juniors from my alma mater.
You must know that this admonition of mine is a conclusion I obtained by paying a tremendous price.
If you include Asahi Shimbun employees as members, the research成果 you have cultivated will leak out to South Korea and China.
All of your efforts will be stolen for free.
You must immediately realize that all of your efforts will come to nothing.
