Hello! I’m a native Japanese freelancer specializing in Japanese translation, script writing, and voice recording. I help clients create natural, easy-to-understand Japanese content for videos, blogs, social media, apps, and marketing materials. My services include: - English to Japanese translation - Japanese localization - Voice recording in natural Japanese - AI-assisted content production I focus on creating content that sounds natural to Japanese audiences, not just direct translation. I can also adjust tone and wording depending on your target audience and project style. I value clear communication, fast response, and reliable delivery. Feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to working with you! My Relevant Experience: YouTube & Shorts Subtitling: I have extensive experience creating English and Japanese subtitles for YouTube and YouTube Shorts. I am well-versed in adjusting timing, character limits, pacing, and on-screen placement to maximize viewer retention. Game Localization: I have successfully localized Chinese video games into Japanese. This role required deep adaptation of character nuances, UI constraints, and context—skills that perfectly translate to correcting MT subtitles for movies, documentaries, and series. Availability: I am available for 20 hours per week and can easily commit to the regular, consistent workflow required for this long-term project.

Hello! I am a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Japan, currently based in Miyagi Prefecture. I specialize in Japanese-related tasks such as voice recording, proofreading, localization, translation review, and cultural feedback. Since I live in Japan and use Japanese in everyday life, I can help make your content sound natural, accurate, and culturally appropriate for Japanese audiences. I am also familiar with Japanese youth culture and modern subcultures, including anime, video games, manga, internet memes, social media trends, and influencers. This allows me to provide practical insights into how Japanese people, especially younger audiences, actually communicate and respond to content. I also have an academic background in law, particularly Japanese constitutional law, as well as bookkeeping-related qualifications. I am happy to consider projects related to these areas. I am committed to responsible work, meeting deadlines, and maintaining smooth communication. I respond promptly, communicate clearly and concisely, and always aim to deliver high-quality results. Please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you achieve great results.
