About the program

"Tomadoi Shakaijin no Bizword Koza" (roughly, "Business Words for Bewildered Working People") is a 29-minute program that picks one or two business terms people hesitate to ask about at work and explains them. The main host is Ren Nagase of King & Prince, with Shunsuke Ito of the comedy duo Oswald as assistant host. It aired about once a month from April 2023 and covered terms such as ES, OJT, MVV, D2C and MBO.

The episode Kondo appeared in was the program's final broadcast.

The terms: the integrated report and ROE

The episode was titled "Integrated Report, ROE." Kondo explained how to read the reports companies publish and what ROE (return on equity) measures.

ROE is one of the indicators covered in Kaikei no Chizu (Map of Accounting), which connects sales and profit through to corporate value in a single diagram format.

Kondo is listed among the cast on the program's site.
