In conjunction with World Mental Health Day on October 10th, this special talk between Ichiro Yamaguchi and Hayato Komori has been realized. Komori is one of Yamaguchi's friends who has been communicating with him privately and supporting him closely since he developed depression. The two will have a valuable conversation for about an hour about the support and environment they think are necessary, and B-side's efforts regarding mental health that began in the entertainment industry. *The experiences discussed in this program are based on the personal experiences of the guests and do not apply to everyone. Even if you have the same depression, the symptoms and recovery methods vary from person to person. This conversation is intended to share the guests' stories and does not provide medical advice. If you are concerned about your mental health, please consult a professional medical institution. ♬ Opening theme "Sun" Composer: peppe (Rokuoushoku Shakai) ♬ Ending theme "Moon" Composer: peppe (Rokuoushoku Shakai) 🎧Podcast https://lnk.to/Mlweb7 Official X: https://x.com/B_side_Talk Official Instagram: / bsidetalk.official Produced by: Sony Music Entertainment Inc.
