Bridging the Gap Between Japan and the World through Language, Video, and Professional Support Looking for a native Japanese partner who understands both the nuances of language and the demands of modern digital content? With over 20 years of experience in global business administration and 4+ years as an online language expert, I provide high-quality solutions for your Japan-related projects. My Core Services: 🎬 Video Editing & Content Creation: Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut. I specialize in creating engaging social media content (9:16 vertical videos), subtitling, and raw footage production. ✍️ Localization & SEO Writing: Experienced in translating English to natural, high-converting Japanese. I’ve supported numerous brands on Lancers with keyword-optimized articles. 🗣️ Professional Japanese Instruction: Practical, conversation-focused lessons tailored for business professionals and travelers. No textbook? No problem. 📊 Business Admin & Data Collection: With 10+ years in international trading and investment firms, I handle complex administrative tasks, transcription, and linguistic data evaluation with precision.

I help overseas brands enter and grow in the Japanese market. Amazon Japan and Shopify localization: Japanese keyword research, listings written the way Japanese shoppers actually search, PayPay / Konbini / Amazon Pay checkout, and the legal pages Japanese law expects. Based in Japan, native Japanese, working with overseas brands since 2013. The most common failure I see: a brand translates its listings into Japanese and waits. The translation is fine. The keywords were researched in English, so Japanese customers never find the listing, and what they do find reads like a translation. That's usually where I start: Japanese keyword research first, then listings rewritten around what people actually type. On Shopify, I handle Liquid theme work, custom sections, app integrations, and migrations off WooCommerce, Magento, or Framer. I build with conversion in mind, and I'll tell you when a feature won't earn back what it costs to build. I also use AI where it makes the work faster without hurting quality. I built the real-time Japanese-English interpreter I use on my own client calls, and LLM automations that keep listing and keyword work consistent across a catalog. Useful tools. Not the product. I reply in 8 to 12 hours JST and prefer messages over calls. Tell me what you're launching in Japan, or what isn't converting, and I'll write back with what I'd change.
