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.
