00:00Today's Gacchiri Monday is about...
00:04...multiplication business!
00:08When it comes to new products,
00:11people tend to add new features and services.
00:17However, the most revolutionary invention is actually multiplication.
00:23For example, iPhone can be multiplied by a button.
00:31But when it comes to the most important thing,
00:35multiplication can lead to a huge profit.
00:43This is a brand new boxer pants.
00:47A revolution for men's underwear!
00:51Can he do it?
00:56This is a milk carton with a straw.
01:00A revolution for the fabric carton industry!
01:04It doesn't spill even if you drink it directly.
01:06What a revolutionary milk carton!
01:10The more you pull, the more you make money!
01:13It takes 30 minutes to make a profit!
01:18Good morning!
01:20Today's topic is multiplication business.
01:22What's that?
01:23I'm going to do a multiplication MC.
01:25Is that so?
01:27There are so many unnecessary features.
01:30We don't need them!
01:31Let's do a multiplication business and specialize in them!
01:35But it's not just about pulling.
01:37That's right.
01:38What do we leave behind?
01:40What do we leave behind?
01:43This is not a multiplication business at all!
01:45I added too much!
01:47It's a waste of money!
01:49Good morning!
01:50One person!
01:51Nice to meet you!
01:53I'm sorry!
02:05He'll find out that we don't need him.
02:14That's amazing.
02:16I'm sorry.
02:18One person!
02:20Let me introduce today's guests.
02:22Economic analyst, Kohei Morinaga.
02:25He's also an actor.
02:27Nice to meet you!
02:29Why are you doing a multiplication business?
02:31He used to be in a duo.
02:34But he's now a multi-actor.
02:38Was that a multiplication business?
02:40That's right.
02:42Ota-pro is a company in Saruganseki.
02:46It's owned by Yutan Tsutsura.
02:48They sell after they do a multiplication business.
02:50Really?
02:51Why Ota-pro?
02:52It's a strange business.
02:54It's strange!
02:55Kohei, this is a multiplication business.
02:57But it's not just about pulling.
03:00You need to know what to pull.
03:03And you need to be able to pull it.
03:08It's not that easy.
03:10I see.
03:12First, we visited a company in Chiyoda, Tokyo.
03:17It's called Nippon Seishi.
03:20How much do you make a year?
03:22Our sales are more than 1,000 yen.
03:27That's amazing.
03:281,000 yen?
03:29Yes.
03:31Nippon Seishi's multiplication business is...
03:36This.
03:38This?
03:39This is a milk carton for school lunches.
03:44A milk carton for school lunches?
03:48Is there a place where you can multiply?
03:52This is a milk carton without a straw.
03:59Nippon Seishi's multiplication business is...
04:03A milk carton without a straw.
04:07A milk carton without a straw.
04:10I've seen this before.
04:11Because there's no straw, you can reduce the cost.
04:14And it's very eco-friendly.
04:17But there seems to be a big problem.
04:21How do you drink it?
04:22You open it from the opening and drink it directly.
04:27I've seen this before.
04:28Just like a conventional paper carton, you open the opening and drink it directly.
04:35You don't have to invent anything.
04:37That's right.
04:38This paper carton industry is very innovative.
04:44This?
04:45Yes, that's right.
04:46No, no, no, Miura-san.
04:48If you drink a normal paper carton of milk in that way...
04:54I've seen this before.
04:55That's right.
04:57It's a typical milk carton.
05:04But Miura-san is full of confidence.
05:08So he decided to try drinking milk with a new paper carton made by Nippon Seishi.
05:17Will he be able to do it?
05:23Huh?
05:24It doesn't spill at all.
05:25He's good at bringing it in.
05:26He brought it in.
05:28What's the difference?
05:32Conventional paper cartons tend to have a curved surface.
05:37If you look at this one, you can see that the whole surface is curved.
05:51That's right.
05:52Conventional paper cartons tend to have a curved surface.
06:00If that's the case...
06:02I was worried that the liquid would spill all of a sudden.
06:11Will it accelerate here?
06:13Yes, that's right.
06:15That's why Nippon Seishi developed this.
06:19It's a straight paper carton that goes straight to your mouth.
06:24It's straight, so it doesn't accelerate.
06:27That's why it doesn't spill.
06:33Let's take a look at the school's lunch time.
06:42Everyone is drinking a lot.
06:46Does it spill?
06:47It doesn't spill at all.
06:48It's easy to drink.
06:50It's easier to drink than the paper carton.
06:54It's easier to drink than the paper carton.
06:57This is a popular milk carton for children.
07:03The mechanism is very simple.
07:06All you have to do is add a line here and here.
07:11First, push in the part that says PUSH and make the paper carton dent.
07:20From here, open your mouth wide and push out the dent.
07:29Then it becomes a gentle mountain.
07:32There is no step until you drink.
07:35It's straight.
07:37That's amazing.
07:40The most important thing to make your mouth straight is here.
07:47Why?
07:49For example, if you stick it to this position, it will rebound and go back a little.
07:58What if it's too low?
07:59If it's too low, it won't shape well when you push it.
08:04It will be crushed.
08:07It's no good if it's too low or too high.
08:11A milk carton without a straw that has been on sale since 2021.
08:16How many times a year do you sell it?
08:18We sell about 500 million milk cartons a year.
08:20That's amazing.
08:22Out of 1.5 billion milk cartons sold at elementary and junior high schools around the country,
08:2730% of them are new paper cartons made in Japan.
08:31What does that mean?
08:33It's amazing.
08:35Try it.
08:37Push.
08:39And then?
08:41As usual.
08:42That's right.
08:46That's amazing.
08:48It's slanted.
08:50It's straight.
08:52The shape of the paper carton we're looking at now hasn't changed for about 100 years.
08:58It's been there for 100 years.
09:00On the contrary, it was a great success to commercialize what no one noticed for 100 years.
09:07That's a great discovery.
09:09Next, we came to a company called KADO in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
09:17Good morning.
09:19I'm Koha, the representative of KADO, a home appliance manufacturer.
09:21Nice to meet you.
09:23This is a home appliance manufacturer that makes its own air purifier and humidifier.
09:31There are only about 20 employees.
09:36But the annual sales are not small.
09:40This year, it's about 1.9 billion yen.
09:44Really?
09:461.9 billion yen.
09:48It's amazing to hear that one employee earns about 100 million yen.
09:54So, what is KADO good at?
10:01This is it.
10:03What is this?
10:05This is a futon dryer with a JABARA hose, a body, and a bag.
10:15A futon dryer?
10:17Yes, it's a futon dryer.
10:19KADO's futon dryer, hose, bag, and body were all made by KADO.
10:31This is a super compact futon dryer.
10:35It's small, but it's not bulky.
10:39But is it possible to dry a futon this small?
10:45Let's turn on the switch and start the verification.
10:49Put the body in the futon and dry it at 55 degrees Celsius.
10:54Just put it in there?
10:563 minutes later.
10:59Let's take a look inside the futon.
11:07It's hot, 40 degrees Celsius.
11:11It's very powerful.
11:16President, why is it so small, but can you dry it well?
11:22There's a high-speed motor inside.
11:27I think the normal speed is about 2,000 to 3,000 rpm per minute.
11:35This is 100,000 rpm.
11:37100,000 rpm per minute.
11:42So the wind pressure is very strong.
11:46How different is the wind pressure?
11:53It's totally different!
11:56But here's a simple question.
12:00If you can make such a small and hot futon dryer,
12:06why didn't everyone make this from the start?
12:11Actually, there's a neck in the futon dryer.
12:16This time, we're going to put the body in there.
12:20If there's a fire, it's going to be a disaster.
12:25That's right.
12:26Actually, it's a heater that creates heat.
12:30If you have a warm futon with you,
12:33the heater will warm you up.
12:38It's very dangerous.
12:40You can't cool it down.
12:42That's why the conventional futon dryer was connected to the body and bag by a hose.
12:49So why is KADO's futon dryer okay?
12:54We're very particular about safety.
12:57This time, we've put a lot of safety features in it.
13:01Ten of them.
13:04First of all, a heat-resistant cover so that the heat doesn't return to the heater.
13:10A temperature sensor that automatically turns off when the temperature is detected abnormally.
13:15And even if there's a fire,
13:18a micro-sheet that covers the whole thing so that it doesn't leak out.
13:25There are ten safety features.
13:30So, what's the price?
13:34It's 24,200 yen including tax.
13:3624,200 yen?
13:37Yes.
13:38Isn't that pretty expensive?
13:39It's expensive.
13:40Can you sell that much?
13:41We've sold about 50,000 of them since August.
13:4550,000 of them?
13:46Yes.
13:47That's 1.2 billion yen.
13:48Really?
13:52It looks like it's going to grow.
13:57I thought futon dryers were like that.
14:00Yes.
14:01It's really annoying.
14:03I have one at home, but I don't have much space.
14:08That's right.
14:09I'll leave it under the pillow.
14:11That's true.
14:12It's big that it's stick-type.
14:15I noticed it at first.
14:17It's a stick-type futon dryer.
14:21I see.
14:22So, other people can't imitate it.
14:25I see.
14:26How about the shoes?
14:28Actually, there's an attachment to dry the shoes.
14:33I see.
14:35You put the shoes in here.
14:37You put the shoes in here.
14:40Like this.
14:42I can't do that.
14:44You're adding a lot.
14:47No.
14:48You can add it because you pull it a lot.
14:51You can add it when you pull it.
14:53Yes.
14:54But it's too early to add it.
14:59Did you work at a home appliance manufacturer?
15:01I used to develop Walkman at Sony.
15:05Does Walkman mean subtraction?
15:07Walkman is a recording function subtracted from a tape recorder.
15:12I see.
15:13You're using that know-how to operate it.
15:17Next, we came to Tsubameshi, Niigata.
15:23It's a twin bird.
15:26It's a home appliance manufacturer born in Niigata that sells over 10 billion yen a year.
15:32What kind of subtraction business is it?
15:38It's this.
15:39This?
15:40Yes.
15:41It's a circulator.
15:43It circulates the air in the room and makes the whole room comfortable.
15:48It's a circulator.
15:51What did you subtract from this?
15:55This is a circulator that subtracts the neck swing function from the circulator.
16:00It's better to have it.
16:01The twin bird's subtraction business subtracted the neck swing function from the circulator.
16:09It's a circulator without a neck swing function.
16:13By removing the neck swing function, the body can be made thinner because there are fewer parts.
16:22There are many good things about it because you don't need a motor for the neck swing function.
16:30But...
16:32I don't think the wind will come to the whole room.
16:35That's what you think, right?
16:37Actually, it's not.
16:40So we experimented in a room heated by heating.
16:45You can see that the air is circulating properly.
16:49We took a picture with thermography.
16:51First, let's look at the conventional neck swing function.
17:01It's a room.
17:07As expected, if you don't swing your neck, the air won't circulate throughout the room.
17:13Let's take a look at a circulator without a neck swing function.
17:19Switch on!
17:22Then...
17:26Oh?
17:27Oh, my!
17:30Oh!
17:31He didn't swing his neck.
17:33For some reason, the whole room is at the same temperature.
17:37The air is circulating throughout the room.
17:42Why is that, Mr. Tanichi?
17:46That's because of the wings.
17:49This?
17:50Yes.
17:51Conventional circulators use wings like this.
17:55The size is about twice as big.
17:59The wind speed is three times as fast as conventional circulators.
18:07Conventional circulators have a low wind speed, so even if it hits a wall, it stops there.
18:14On the other hand, the new circulator has a significantly larger wind speed,
18:19so even if it hits a wall, it spins around and comes back firmly.
18:25As a result, the air can circulate.
18:30But normally, if you make the wings bigger, it will be noisy.
18:35The wind speed is three times as fast as conventional circulators,
18:39but the noise is significantly lower in this circulator.
18:43That's right.
18:44Just by removing the motor for the neck swing, the noise can be reduced considerably.
18:50In addition, the thickness, shape, and twist of the wings are adjusted in 0.1 mm so that there is no extreme noise.
19:01One circulator costs 12,800 yen, which is a little expensive,
19:07but if you sell 2,400 circulators in 5 months,
19:12it's perfect!
19:15Next, we went to Gunze, a underwear manufacturer.
19:22It's been 128 years since they've been making leather and underwear.
19:27Their annual sales are over 1,300 billion yen.
19:34So, what are they all about?
19:39This.
19:40This?
19:41This is a boxer pants for Gunze.
19:43Actually, this is a completely new boxer pants with waist rubber.
19:49What?
19:50Gunze's profitable boxer pants business is a boxer pants with no rubber.
20:01It's not tight because there's no rubber, and it doesn't leave a mark.
20:05It's supposed to feel good.
20:08What is this?
20:09Normally, if you take the rubber off the pants, it's a big deal, right?
20:16Please look behind you.
20:22If you walk with this, it will slip off.
20:26That's right. It will slip off.
20:29That's right.
20:30It's like a life-threatening underwear for men.
20:36Gunze's new underwear with waist rubber.
20:39Is this really okay?
20:42I'm scared.
20:43For now...
20:45I'm going to wear it.
20:48I'm scared.
20:49For some reason, Oikawa-kun, the 3rd year AD with a smile, tries it on.
20:53I'm scared to wear this.
20:55Will he be able to wear it and come out?
21:01Is it okay?
21:03That's right. I'm scared.
21:07And then...
21:11I'm here.
21:14How is it?
21:15It's a new feeling.
21:17Did it fall off?
21:18No, it doesn't feel like it's falling off at all.
21:20It feels like it fits well around here.
21:26How is it?
21:27It's like a life-threatening underwear for men.
21:29That's right.
21:30Really?
21:31That's right. It didn't fall off.
21:34I'm scared.
21:35Even if you run a little...
21:38It didn't fall off at all.
21:42Why didn't the underwear fall off when I cut the waist rubber?
21:49Why didn't the underwear fall off when I cut the waist rubber?
21:54It's the fabric.
21:56I developed the fabric.
21:58This one doesn't have a waist rubber, so you have to hold your body firmly with the fabric.
22:04The fabric stretches to a certain extent and comes back firmly.
22:08I'm developing a fabric that has that kind of characteristic.
22:13First, what is the first method?
22:17Have you only tightened the waist rubber so far?
22:22Tighten the waist rubber so that it wraps around the entire underwear.
22:27If you look at it with a sensor,
22:31you can see that the rubber part was usually concentrated,
22:35but it's a little loose overall.
22:38I see.
22:40And the second method is very important.
22:45It's the shape of the front part.
22:49It's the men's crotch part.
22:53In fact, women's underwear has been around for a long time.
22:57Oh, really?
22:59It wasn't easy for men.
23:03The product or the biggest neck is this crotch part.
23:08This part can't resist gravity, so it goes down and down.
23:14The crotch part goes down and down.
23:19The crotch part always goes down and down.
23:25So how do you keep the front part from falling off with the crotch part?
23:32This product has a lot of neck fabric.
23:36The point is to increase the tightness of the front part of the body.
23:42By making the men's crotch a round shape,
23:47it won't shake or move.
23:50It's a three-dimensional shape.
23:51Take a look.
23:53In the past, only the waist part was fixed,
23:57but the new underwear holds firmly on both sides of the crotch
24:01and makes it stable.
24:06It took about 7 years to complete.
24:10GUNZE GOMUNESHI PANTS AIRS
24:14It costs 1650 yen per piece.
24:19We've sold 2.7 million pieces in 6 years.
24:232.7 million?
24:25We've sold more than 4 billion pieces in 6 years.
24:29That means...
24:31We won!
24:34I'm scared.
24:36I'm scared.
24:38I'm scared because I don't have a rubber band.
24:40Don't worry.
24:41Don't worry?
24:42I'm actually wearing it today.
24:43Really?
24:44Yes.
24:45It fits perfectly.
24:46Does it feel like it's going to fall off?
24:47Not at all.
24:49If you prioritize the fit,
24:52the rubber band on the waist is tight.
24:54It's going to fall off.
24:56It's going to fall off.
24:57If you match it with the waist, you won't feel the fit.
25:00That's right.
25:01It's a perfect fit.
25:05We've accumulated over 120 years of know-how since we started.
25:09We removed the rubber band, but we were able to support it.
25:12I think that's why we were able to make this product.
25:15Lastly, please tell us about your recommendation.
25:19That's after the commercial.
25:25Please tell us about your recommendation.
25:27Panasonic's new product, Solo.
25:31This is a dishwasher for single-person households.
25:35That's why it's called Solo.
25:36That's right.
25:37Everyone had a fixed idea that a household with a family would use a dishwasher.
25:42I see.
25:43However, single-person households are increasing in Japan.
25:48The number of single-person households is increasing.
25:51Also, the number of single-person households is aging.
25:53That will be the volume zone in Japan.
25:56I see.
25:57I didn't think a dishwasher for one person would sell.
