Bio

Dear Sir or Madam,

Hi! Thank you very much for browsing here!! Please give me a couple of minutes to introduce myself. (Please take a look at ”Why Choose Me?" section at the bottom, as well!

 (I moved from Japan to Hong Kong on May, 2012. However, I have been still surrounded by Japanese environments for around 3 to 10 hours every day (e.g. Reading Japanese newspapers, blogs, internet forums; Watching Japanese TV shows, news; Talking to my family members and friends in Japan over the phone in Japanese; and writing Japanese text in translation professionally))

* I don't take any proofreading/editing project.

Education

Bachelor of Arts in Commerce.What I studied there are mainly as follows:

Economics, Commerce, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Finance, Business Administration, Theory of Industrial Organization, Marketing, International Marketing, International Trade, International Finance, Public Administration, Psychology, Politics, Comparative Culture, Japanese literature, English, Business English, Philosophy, etc.

Overseas Education in America as follows:

Interpersonal Communication, Intercultural Communication, Communication Theory, American Economy, Management, Argument, Politics, etc.

Additional areas of Expertise and Interest

I am interested in the fields of Consciousness, Unconsciousness (like the world Carl Gustav Jung or Sigmund Freud explains), Tao (Lao Tzu mentioned), Mind, Humanity, Life, Psychology, Social Science, Self-Development (such as "How can people become genius?" "How to maximize our brain" "Motivation" "Positive thinking" "Internal Voice"). Recently, I'm especially interested in Simulation Hypothesis/Simulated Realities, Multiverse, Synchronicity (actually explained by Jung, too I mentioned above), Glitches in Matrix, Parallel World, Mandela Effect, and so on, too. 

Moreover, I like to play and watch Shogi game (a kind of Japanese Chess) with AI analytic tool.

In addition, I love comedy and have a great sense of comedy (talk, impersonation, etc) and communication. I was a kind of class clown when I was a student from an elementary school to a university.

Reading and watching current news online through Yahoo, Google, Major Social News Sites, etc. (in English, Japanese, Chinese (Cantonese, Traditional)) is one of my routines. In particular, my recent favorite resources are related to crypto such as Markets Daily Crypto Roundup podcast (by CoinDesk), Bankless, Crypto News Alerts | Daily Bitcoin (BTC) & Cryptocurrency News, The Bitboy Crypto Podcast, Thinking Crypto News & Interviews, Thinking Crypto News & Interviews, 動區動趨 BlockTempo, Blockdailyhk, and some Japanese crypto channels on Youtube, as well as podcasts related to Simulation Hypothesis, Glitches in Matrix, Parallel World, Mandela Effect, and so on.

Why Choose Me?

First, do you know how to say "I love you" in Japanese? If you don't know it, did you Google or DeepL it? Thank you. The answer you got is wrong from my point of view because the perfect answer is...uncertain until we get the context. In other words, there are almost infinite ways to say I love you in Japanese, surprisingly. So, it means that if you fall in love with a Japanese person and look for how to say "I love you" in Japanese, you should not rely on Google, DeepL or other machine translations, which can never, ever return perfect translation for even just three critical words, "I love you". This is just an example. The Japanese language is so unique that native Japanese speakers and/or even professional Japanese linguists are not aware of the structure well because it relies highly on context, and therefore, you need to select a truly GIFTED translator, like a gifted singer, dancer, painter, athlete...etc., who shows excellent performance by nature. Good amount of effort to develop and continue to improve language skills should be made continuously, of course as a professional, but the efforts alone are not enough, unfortunately. However, rest assured that you've just found the one :)

Communication has been increasingly important in many situations including business, and it has been getting more and more important including "written communication".  No matter how great your product or service is, if the description, manual, marketing text, email notification, help center, academy, website, blog, etc. is/are incomplete, it will affect the sales. For example, you may lose the trust of your customers, or in the worst case scenario, you may offend your customers and make them angry due to poor translation/writing. (e.g. active and simply forward-looking tone used to the customers who have just lost big money in a volatile market, changing in a day or moment. However, don't worry. Even for source text, I always give my clients feedback and suggestions whenever I find something important to be changed or improved, which have been much appreciated by them for my consulting approach). There are tools that automatically correct typos and grammatical errors, but there are NO tools that can correct subtle emotional mistakes or out-of-tune notes in translation/writing because they are invisible! In fact, many people (unfortunately, including professionals, and not to mention cutting-edge AI machine translations such as Google and DeepL) don't even realize that they're wrong. 

Are you still satisfied with the translations which SEEM TO be fine, but actually, just replaced from one language to another? Are the translations really accurate and perfect considering invisible factors such as emotions of the target audience, comfortable or suitable rhythm and wording, marketing (psychological) effect, as well as visible and technical factors such as SEO? Or, on the contrary, are they not too aggressive in the marketing context? (say, in light of legal aspects? e.g. tightened regulations in crypto market) If those factors are not considered/expressed well in the translations (and/or the source text), it may hurt the BRAND IMAGE of your company/products/services, leading to lower sales, conversion rate, engagement, or warning in the worst case (e.g. in light of legal aspects)...

 

OK, that's all for now:) (I should not waste your precious time so much)

 

So, if anything mentioned above resonates with you, feel free to contact me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. When you contact me and/or send me your project, please give me as detailed information as possible such as number of words, file format (Google Doc or online tool such as Smartling, Crowdin, Phrase (former Memsource), Transifex, etc.), deadline, rate, payment term, and payment method. 

Finally, for my availability, I'll need to ensure that I can translate at least around 20,000 words for my regular clients (mostly IT clients) every month, just in case, although it varies. So, my extra slot will be around 20,000 words to 30,000 words (or 40,000 words) per month for you (as of now). Anyway, if you are seriously looking for a talented Japanese translator, don't hesitate to contact me! The sooner the better!

 

Thank you very much for visiting here. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!

 

Once I receive your projects, I will work on them with genuine dedication and professionalism!

 

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

 

Sincerely,
Hiro
