2.2 Million People Are Hooked on a Game—What Are You Hooked On?
Nintendo's "Poko a Pokémon" surpassed 2.2 million copies worldwide in just 4 days. Incredible. Everyone's obsessed with catching Pokémon.
Meanwhile, what are you—a privately contracted tutor—trying to catch right now?
"Wait, was last week's lesson with the Tanakas on Tuesday? Or was it Thursday?"
You're not catching Pokémon. You're trying to catch scattered schedule memories, aren't you?
Let's be honest. Managing your tutoring schedule manually is like fighting the final boss with Level 1 gear. You might win eventually, but it's a massive waste of time and energy.
The Tutor's "Admin Quest": Difficulty Level Way Too High
Let's break down the "admin quest" that every privately contracted tutor has to clear each month.
🗓️ Stage 1: Schedule Management
Track each student's day and time. Handle last-minute changes and make-up lessons. Double-book and it's instant game over.
📝 Stage 2: Lesson Records
What did you teach? How's the student progressing? Jot it down while the memory's fresh—because in 3 days you won't remember a thing.
💰 Stage 3: Tuition Calculation
Different rates for each student. Add or subtract for rescheduled lessons. Factor in transportation costs. Calculator in hand, ready to battle.
📄 Stage 4: Invoice Creation
Open Excel, copy and paste, export to PDF, attach to email, hit send. The same endless loop every single month.
Do this for 5 students, and 3 to 4 hours vanish at the end of every month. Imagine how many Pokémon you could've caught in that time.
Manual vs. Automated: A Side-by-Side Comparison
| Item | Manual (Level 1 Gear) | Kagemusha System (Cheat-Code Level) |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule Management | Manually enter into a planner or phone notes | Just add it to Google Calendar—automatically recorded |
| Lesson Count Tracking | Scroll through the calendar at month-end and count | Auto-tallied in a spreadsheet |
| Tuition Calculation | Calculator or manual Excel entry | Rate × sessions calculated automatically |
| Invoices | Copy a template and manually edit | Auto-generated PDF with one click |
| Month-End Admin Time | 3–4 hours | 0 minutes |
| Cost | Free (but factor in your hourly rate…) | ¥500/month |
¥500 a month. Less than a single gacha pull, and you can skip the final boss battle every month.

The "Clear" Effect in Numbers
2.2 Million People Are Spending Time on What They Enjoy
The reason "Poko a Pokémon" became a massive hit is simple: it's fun.
Now flip it around—how many tutors find end-of-month admin work "fun"? Probably zero.
Let automation handle the work you don't enjoy. Use the freed-up time to prep for lessons. Or catch some Pokémon. Or even take on new students and boost your income.
The final boss called "admin work" can be defeated for just ¥500/month.
