I noticed a "2" at the top of the page title, so I changed the address substituting a "1" and got this:

Tokai Musical Instruments Manufacturing Co., Ltd. 1
In the summer of your third year of high school, when you made the final decision about your career path, did you make your homeroom teacher happy by saying, "I'm going to get a job!"? However, at that time, I specifically said, "I want to get a job at Tokai Gakki."
After making various arrangements, the company brochure below was sent to me.
After that, I actually went to Tokai Gakki in Hamamatsu for a company tour, but unfortunately it was . "Naito-san" from the general affairs department? But please guide me. I visited the head office factory, the Terashima factory, and the Enshu-Hamaryo factory by car (the commercial vehicle I used at that time was often used after that), and it was all very interesting places. The dormitory is also a solid place, so I decided to stay here.
And after that, the ′′ entrance exam ′′ for the time being? There was, but I thought, "I wonder if I came from the farthest place?", but it wasn't. Many people came from various places, such as people from Kyushu and people from Niigata . For the entrance exam, there was a "written test" and an "interview", but
I remember that the written test was extremely ordinary. As I learned later, junior high school graduates were also included in the exam at that time, so it was a problem of the level of completing compulsory education. I have one question that I still remember. ..."When is the opening date of the Sanyo Shinkansen? , I didn't understand this!
" Is it a knowledge problem?" Do you answer politely and confidently in a clear tone? Thanks to what I did, I received a notice that I passed the exam at a later date, and it was decided that I would join Tokai Gakki.
In March 1979 (Showa 54), I officially joined Tokai Musical Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd., but I moved into a dormitory in Enshuhama. However, since most of my luggage had been carried before then, on that day (the day before the entrance ceremony), I took out a case containing my favorite "Tokai T1200R". The dormitory was basically two people per room, but at the time there were plenty of rooms, so I moved in with one person per room.
On the day of the joining ceremony, I have a warm memory of various events, but among them, there was an announcement of the placement of new employees. I was placed in the "sales department", but I thought, "Oh, I didn't make a promise!" That is to say...
there should have been a promise made between the school and the company that they would be assigned to the production department. Even though I was confused, I couldn't complain, and time went on as it was. I also heard about this later, but it seems that the company was aware of this promise, but they gave priority to assigning graduates of industrial schools to the production department. It seems that it became a "sales department" after seeing the responses such as However, I think that being placed in the sales department was a good result.
Tokai Gakki seems to have decided to strengthen its sales force this year, and 6 people were assigned to the sales department, including 4 university graduates and 2 high school graduates
.
The date is March 22nd. March 22, 1979 From this day, I entered a training period of about two months. This is what the president said on the first day. "In life, the difference in ability is small and the difference in effort is big!"
The training period was very interesting. As a sales department, you have to understand all the company's products. However, the other departments were on site in about two weeks, so it seems that they were looking at them with a feeling of, "Wait, is it okay for those people to be elegant?"
After the training period was over, I was assigned to the field, but university graduates were "headquarters sales department" along with another high school graduate. I was. The head office sales department did not engage in direct sales activities , but was mainly responsible for backing up the Tokyo, Osaka, Chubu, and Kyushu sales offices and responding to inquiries from all over the country. for example···
This is how I started my life at Tokai Gakki.

This is the front and back cover of the company profile at that time. It's a pretty solid thing. I still have it. |

This is the inside of "Enshu Hamaryo". This is after the second time, right? I've been in the dormitory several times, but when I got used to it, it wasn't very clean, was it? |

One of the jobs I used to do well was to respond to inquiries from users. I was able to answer the questions sent to me by postcard, over the phone, or on the "customer postcard" sent to me when I purchased the guitar. The notepaper on the left is what I actually wrote at that time. Some of you who are looking at this page may have actually seen this kind of response? |
