We presented the relationship between speakers and listeners by analyzing types and semantic characteristics of consideration expression in Japanese according to will of speakers in this paper. We categorized the their relationship into the explicit type, respect type, request type, relaxation type, adverbial-particle type in case speakers are their own will and otherwise into damage passive type, corresponding type of intransitive and transitive verbs, possible negative type, and subject priority type. We discovered speakers’consideration extent for listeners is the weakest in the direct viewing type with speakers’ strong will on the point of view of listeners without having privilege to make a decision because a chance to speak their opinion is not given. Otherwise, in the subject priority type, speakers’consideration extent for listeners is the strongest w ithout expressing speaker’s will and with well expression in language during the situation because of privilege to make a decision as well as lessening some pressure to listeners.
