About FuckUp Nights
FuckUp Nights is a global movement that started in Mexico in 2012 and has spread to 250+ cities in more than 80+ countries around the world. The concept of FuckUp Nights is simple: breaking away from the stigmas surrounding (business) ‘failure’. The lessons we can learn from failure are often more valuable and interesting than stories about success. The majority of startups and professionals don’t create ‘the project of year’ on their first attempt, yet we rarely hear about their failures in books, magazines or at events. FuckUp Nights wants to change that by organizing events where people are able to come together, network, share, learn and celebrate stories about business failure. Want to know more details? Check out our online facebook community!
Why join FuckUp Nights Tokyo?
We would like to invite all (aspiring) entrepreneurs, freelancers and professionals who want to hear, share, discuss and celebrate stories about business failure. We offer you an opportunity to freely discuss the concept of failure, and learn from the experiences of others; all in a cozy and casual setting. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet new like-minded people and have a chance to share issues that you do usually not tend to discuss at other events.
The Fuck Up Nights Event Format
The format of every FuckUp Nights is simple: 3 or 4 people take the stage to share their FuckUp stories, followed by a Q&A, and ending with time to network. The presenters tell their story with their slides in 7 minutes. The stories are always structured in the following way:
1) What was your project?
2) What went wrong?
3) What did you learn?
4) What would you do differently?
Speaker Profiles (order of appearance might change on the day of the event)
Speaker No.1 : Nariaki Akai
Life explorer
”Mobile House Village” Project Organizer

Short Bio:
An explorer who seeks “A new way of living happily”, Naruaki was born in Toyama April 1989 and was raised in Ishikawa. He graduated from Hokkaido University, School of Agriculture and worked at Bandai Co., Ltd for 4 years until leaving in 2018. After quitting, he built a Mobile House by himself, and has experimented for a year living the Mobile House life. Currently he is creating a “Mobile House Village” and sharing his experience through Youtube and Instagram. His subscribers on Youtube will soon reach over 1000! You can find him on the platform as “nariakiakai”
Story Teaser:
Naru's dream since elementary school was to be "self-sufficient in Hawaii". Although he quit his salary-men job to reach for this goal, he ultimately failed and lost both his job and his dream in one fell swoop. But by chance, he learned about the “Mobile House” lifestyle. Through this, he realized what he was really interested in was not "moving to Hawaii" but actually "life itself", and he began a new journey as a lifestyle adventurer.
In this talk, he will talk about the importance of "dreams and effort", and also why we should never lose sight of "excitement and feeling". Let's find a "new and happy life" together!
Speaker No.2 : Ayumi Mori
Japanese language instructor
Short Bio:
Ayumi has worked for 15 years as a Japanese language instructor at universities, language schools, high schools and giving private lessons. Previously, she was a Children’s English teacher and school manager, but she switched her major to Japanese when she realized her English wasn’t good enough for her to feel comfortable teaching. She admires the people who make food and during her free time, she often visits primary industries to help with farming and agriculture.
Story Teaser:
It was Ayumi’s second year as a Japanese language teacher in Okinawa. Through a volunteer run Japanese class, she met a Japanese-Brazilian who could speak very well, but was struggling to learn kanji. Seeing this, Ayumi thought that he would never be able to learn Kanji, and she started to avoid volunteer work. After a while, when she visited the classroom she realized he was no longer there… What did she realise after learning why he disappeared from the class? In her talk, she will be talking about how this experience shaped the core of her teaching philosophy.
Speaker No.3 : Jared Campion
Founder of Dream Drive
Short Bio:
13 year resident of Japan. Born in the UK with fond memories of cruising around in a vintage VW camper with the family while growing up. After working in recruitment, tech and marketing he decided it was time to bring camper travel to the masses.
Story teaser:
Raising money as a travel company aint easy, and quality vans are not cheap to buy for the fleet, luckily our mantra at Dream Drive is “All Talk, All Action”. In the early days we were not able to get vans for the team to build. Then at the launch party a seemingly harmless chat over beers lead us down a path of confusion, building while parachuting while heading into a brave new world.
