Viral News: When still 41 and fired for seemingly doing too little, Morimoto, Japan's rental "no-good-doer," turned unproductivity into a business generating ₹69 lakhs annually. And his business will be doing much with just sitting quietly with clients.

Client wants Morimoto 

It's just that simple. Morimoto is the kind of companion clients want in a wide range of circumstances where they need someone but don't necessarily want to talk to. Whether helping pass the time with household chores or waiting for someone to cross a marathon finish line, his role is to be an unobtrusive presence.

A feeless freedom model

A system wherein Morimoto permits the clients to determine how much to pay for his "do nothing" services. In addition to the positions described above, Morimoto also operates on a pay-as-you-wish principle, as it is left up to his clients to determine what they believe his work is worth. Charges have previously fallen in the ₹5,400-₹16,200 bracket for a couple of hours. However, he opted for the voluntary payment in which he doesn't care anymore about the money made but just about the delight caused by the work

For emotional comfort and not active engagement, people are usually seeking services from Morimoto. Many clients hire Morimoto for the calming effect his presence brings, especially in social situations where they may feel uncomfortable. From sitting silently at cafes to accompanying clients to unknown places, Morimoto finds fulfillment in offering comfort without active involvement.

For Morimoto, this "do nothing" job is exactly what he wants to do

There is so much to say and reflect on about how happiness relates to Morimoto's job from the moment he receives an offer to listening to a client's story. "There was nothing else I truly wanted to do," he says while embracing simplicity and contentment in life.
