皆さん、こんにちは！Tofuguのコイチでございます！
You know, unfortunately, we can't always make happy videos. Today's news coming out of Japan is just tragic.
A recent survey has shown that allowances that Japanese salarymen receive from their wives is at a thirty-year-low. You see, in Japan wives traditionally deal with all the money stuff. And then they take that money and give some of it back to their husbands for their pocket money. This year the amount that they receive has dipped to ￥36,500. That's about $452. Compare that to ￥76,000 back in 1990. As you can see Japanese salarymen beer money is in peril!
But we at Tofugu aren't the type that sit around and just let crap like this happen. We're doers! And we fix problems! I am super proud to announce that Tofugu is starting a campaign to end this injustice! A campaign to save the salaryman!

Hi there! My name is Koichi. I've been working with "Save the Salaryman" now for twenty years. Trying to right the injustices that Japanese salaryman face every single day in Japanese society. You might not know what it's like to be a Japanese salaryman, but I see the conditions that they face every single day, and it's horrible. Poor buddy Hashi here could use your help.
I'm here at a Japanese salary man's office. Well, I'm sure your used to getting as much beer money as you need. This Japanese salaryman has to be contented with only $20 per work day to spend on beer after work.
Hey there little buddy! Did you bring a bento to save some money for your nomikai later tonight? Poor guy!
But you can help. For only $1 a day, you can sponsor a salaryman like Hashi. You can help him drink not three, but four watery Japanese beers tonight. No more coming home sober! No more being able to catch the last train! Your donation will help make sure that our buddy Hashi here, and other salarymen like him, will be able to throw up in the streets 'til at least 4 or 5 am. To save the salarymen is only $1 per day. Call the number on your screen to help out right now. Operators are standing by. And thank you, thank you so much.
