I am a Japan-based native Japanese freelancer specializing in UGC content creation, social media marketing, and Japanese market research. As a UGC creator, I produce short-form videos and digital content for both domestic and international companies. I specialize in creating content that feels natural to viewers and resonates emotionally. I mainly create UGC videos related to language-learning apps and AI apps, with a focus on clarity, relatability, and engagement for the Japanese market. I also collect data related to the Japanese market and regularly research trends, user interests, and consumer behavior. Based on these insights, I provide marketing suggestions and user-perspective insights for the Japanese market. In addition, I have experience as a community manager and have worked on communication and relationship-building with creators, users, and project participants. I value explaining project details clearly, coordinating with participants, and managing progress carefully and responsibly.

Native Japanese UGC content creator helping international brands connect authentically with Japanese consumers. Top Rated on Upwork with 13+ completed projects, I create UGC videos across a wide range of styles and industries — unboxing, product reviews, testimonials, tutorials, and lifestyle content — tailored to your brand's voice. As a native Japanese speaker who is also fluent in Korean (C1) and comfortable in English, I bring genuine cultural insight that generic freelancers can't: natural, on-trend Japanese phrasing, accurate cultural nuance, and the flexibility to adapt to different brand images. This makes me a strong fit for brands entering the Japanese market or running cross-market campaigns spanning Japan and Korea. What I offer: - UGC videos: unboxing, reviews, testimonials, tutorials, day-in-the-life, lifestyle/aesthetic content - Native Japanese voice-over and narration - English-to-Japanese script localization — adapted for natural, on-camera delivery, not just literal translation - Reliable turnaround and clear communication from brief to final delivery With a proven track record of satisfied clients, I'm ready to bring the same reliability and quality to your project. Let's create content that actually resonates with Japanese audiences.

Your social media needs more than posts. It needs a strategy, a clear voice, and consistent execution. I help founders, personal brands, beauty businesses, and women-led companies build social media that actually supports growth. My focus is Instagram and TikTok content strategy, Reels, caption writing, content planning, and ongoing social media management through monthly retainers. What clients get working with me: • A monthly content strategy built around your brand and audience. • Content calendars, captions, scripts, and post planning. • Reels and TikTok support designed for consistency and engagement. • A structured retainer so you are not managing the process yourself. I built my own brand, Career Girl Global, to 128,000 followers and 8M+ organic reach without paid ads. I have also helped a creator grow from 2,000 to 12,000 followers in four months, and supported a restaurant campaign that generated two Reels with 100K+ and 200K+ views. I work best with clients who want a strategic partner, not someone to simply post content and disappear. If you want a consistent social presence that reflects the quality of your brand, I’d love to talk.
