For Question 

Love cats?

Japan, a land of ancient traditions and modern marvels, has a unique and enduring love affair with cats. These graceful creatures, with their mysterious allure and playful antics, have captured the hearts of the Japanese people for centuries. As we delve deeper into the fascinating relationship between Japan and its feline inhabitants, a tapestry of intriguing customs and beliefs begins to emerge, painting a vivid picture of the role cats play in this captivating nation.

1. Maneki Neko: The Symbol of Fortune

One of the most ubiquitous symbols in Japan is the Maneki Neko, also known as the beckoning cat or lucky cat. This iconic figurine, often found in shops and homes, features a cat with one paw raised in a beckoning gesture. According to folklore, the Maneki Neko brings good luck and fortune to its owner, making it a popular talisman across the country. The different paw positions of the Maneki Neko are believed to attract specific types of luck, such as wealth, health, and love, adding layers of symbolism to this charming icon.

If you visit China, you also find Maneki Neko (often gold coloured ones) a lot in restaurants and shops.

2. Cat Cafés: A Tranquil Oasis

Japan is credited with introducing the world to the concept of cat cafés, a haven for cat enthusiasts seeking solace in the company of these delightful animals. In these cozy establishments, patrons can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while being surrounded by friendly and affectionate cats. Cat cafés provide a therapeutic escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering visitors a chance to unwind and experience the joy of feline companionship. These cafés have become an integral part of Japanese urban culture, highlighting the nation's deep appreciation for cats.

3. Cats in Art and Literature

When you visit Nikko, the thing you will remember so much is the "sleeping cat" in Nikko Toshogu allegedly sculptured by the master Jingoro Hidari. When we saw it in real when we did a school excursion to there, we felt the cat was soo tiny (if you are busy chatting with your classmates, you would miss it) but so famous.

Cats have left their indelible paw prints on Japanese art and literature. From centuries-old woodblock prints depicting cats in various scenes to contemporary manga and anime featuring feline characters, cats have been a recurrent motif in Japanese creativity. One of the most famous literary works featuring cats is Haruki Murakami's novel "Kafka on the Shore," where cats play a symbolic role, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. These artistic expressions underscore the deep connection between cats and the Japanese imagination.

4. Historical Significance: Cats and Samurai

There are many ukiyoe and kimono design with cats in them. In ancient Japan, cats were esteemed for their hunting skills, which protected valuable manuscripts and scrolls from the ravages of rodents. Samurai warriors admired the stealth and agility of cats, incorporating their traits into their own combat techniques. Cats became symbols of strength, grace, and resilience, earning a place of honor in samurai culture. The reverence for cats among samurai warriors further solidified their status as revered animals in Japanese society.

5. Cat Islands: Where Cats Roam Freely

Japan is home to several "cat islands," such as Aoshima and Tashirojima, where cats outnumber humans. These picturesque islands have become sanctuaries for stray and abandoned cats, attracting tourists and cat lovers from around the globe. The feline residents are cared for by local communities and visitors, exemplifying Japan's compassion for these charming creatures. These cat islands serve as living testaments to Japan's unique relationship with cats, showcasing the country's dedication to their well-being.

<<Where to stay on the cat islands? >>

6. Hello Kitty: The Global Cat Sensation

No exploration of cats in Japan would be complete without mentioning Hello Kitty, the beloved character created by Sanrio. Hello Kitty, with her signature bow and infectious charm, has become a global phenomenon, captivating audiences of all ages. This iconic cat has transcended cultural boundaries, symbolizing the kawaii (cute) culture that Japan is renowned for. Hello Kitty's popularity has spawned a vast array of merchandise, ranging from stationery and fashion to home décor, cementing her status as a beloved cultural ambassador for Japan.

Did you know the company name Sanrio came from Yamanashi pref where the founder is from (one of the strong theories)? If you read the pref Kanji, you can read it like SanLi.

The multifaceted role of cats in Japan mirrors the country's rich tapestry of tradition, innovation, and creativity. From symbols of fortune and literary muses to cherished companions and global icons, cats have seamlessly integrated themselves into the fabric of Japanese society. As Japan continues to celebrate its feline friends, the world remains enchanted by the purrfect harmony between humans and these enigmatic creatures. With each paw step, cats leave an indelible mark on Japan's cultural landscape, reminding us of the enduring and enchanting bond between humans and their beloved feline companions.

Japanese yen is extremely cheap now 1USD is more than 150JPY. We see so many foreign tourists in Japan. Some say Japan has an "over tourism" issue (the term as known internationally from Italy). In media, we come across one of these pop words.

The "2023 U-CAN New Words and Popular Phrases Awards" (selected by "Basic Knowledge of Modern Terms") announced the 30 nominated words on the 2nd of November.

Among the nominated words, there are ones related to AI technologies like "Generated AI" and "ChatGPT," as well as terms associated with significant events of the year, such as "10円パン（10 Yen Bread）" which gained attention, and "A-RE（アレ）" that celebrated the Hanshin Tigers' victory. Johnny&Associates sexual abuse issue shed the light on the term "NG list".  In the realm of anime and manga, the word "Oshi no Ko/Idol" was nominated.

"Oshi no Ko" is a manga series currently serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" and "Jump+" by the collaboration of Akasaka Aka and Mengo Yokoyari. The story revolves around the encounter between "Goro," an obstetrician working in a regional city, and his idol "Hoshino Ai." It's a work packed with elements of "reincarnation," "romance," as well as "suspense" and "satire," faithfully depicting the hidden side of the entertainment industry.

In the spring of 2023, the TV anime series will debut with an "extended 90-minute premiere," and related terms have consistently ranked high on Twitter (now X) after each weekly terrestrial and ABEMA broadcast. Following the final episode, the production of the second season was also announced, and a large-scale real-life event is scheduled for November, making it a highly anticipated work.

The opening theme song of the same work, "Idol," is also nominated alongside "Oshi no Ko." The song gained immense popularity, starting streaming on various music platforms on April 12, achieving a record of 16 consecutive weeks at number one on the "Billboard Japan Comprehensive Song Chart" and ranking for the 28th time on the "Oricon Weekly Streaming Chart." It also became the fastest song to reach 500 million streams, earning its place on the global stage by reaching the highest rank ever for J-pop on the Billboard Global Chart, securing 7th place. It was indeed a year marked by the "YOASOBI craze."

The annual grand prize and the top 10 among these 30 words as below are expected to be announced on December 1st, 2023 at the "2023 U-CAN New Words and Popular Phrases Awards":

Which one you think will win this year?

In the ever-evolving landscape of language, capturing the essence of contemporary culture is a task that requires keen observation and insight. Japan, renowned for its rich linguistic heritage, has a unique way of embracing modern vocabulary and phrases. One of the platforms that encapsulates this evolution is the U-CAN New Words and Popular Phrases Awards. This article delves into the history of these awards, shedding light on why they have garnered significant attention in Japan.

The Genesis of U-CAN Awards

The U-CAN New Words and Popular Phrases Awards were first introduced in Japan as an initiative by the U-CAN Education Group, a prominent educational service provider. The awards were established to recognize and celebrate the innovative and influential language emerging within the country each year. Since their inception, these awards have become a significant cultural phenomenon, reflecting the pulse of contemporary Japanese society.

Why U-CAN Awards Matter

Reflecting Cultural Trends: Japan, being a trendsetter in various fields, witnesses rapid changes in lifestyle, technology, and entertainment. The U-CAN Awards serve as a linguistic barometer, capturing the essence of these changes through the new words and phrases that gain popularity.

Youthful Influence: With a strong focus on youth culture, the U-CAN Awards often highlight terms originating from younger generations. The influence of anime, manga, and internet culture is prominently visible in the nominated words, showcasing the impact of these mediums on Japanese lexicon.

Social Commentary: Many of the nominated phrases reflect societal issues, cultural movements, and political sentiments prevalent in Japan. These words serve as a mirror, reflecting the concerns and debates within the society, making them not just linguistic markers but also social commentaries.

Promotion of Language Learning: These awards have sparked interest in language learning and exploration, encouraging people to understand the context and meaning behind the newly popularized words. This curiosity fuels a deeper understanding of contemporary Japanese culture.

Boosting Creativity: The U-CAN Awards have encouraged creativity in language use. Writers, artists, and content creators often incorporate these trendy phrases into their works, contributing to the vibrant cultural tapestry of Japan.

So...

The U-CAN New Words and Popular Phrases Awards have become an integral part of Japan's linguistic landscape, reflecting the nation's cultural dynamism and embracing the evolving nature of language. By acknowledging the significance of these awards, we gain valuable insights into the contemporary issues, trends, and influences shaping Japanese society. As Japan continues to evolve, the U-CAN Awards will undoubtedly remain a vital platform, capturing the essence of the nation's language and culture for generations to come.

For Question 

Familienmiete wurde auch in der Show von Conan vorgestellt. In dieser Sendung war das Unternehmen Family Romance. Tatsächlich haben wir in der Vergangenheit Interviews mit diesem Unternehmen für bedeutende ausländische Medienunternehmen durchgeführt.

Du hast an einer Hochzeit in Japan teilgenommen und die Familie und Freunde des Paares getroffen. Oder du hast einen Partner in Japan und wurdest den Eltern von ihm/ihr vorgestellt.

Du hast vielleicht mit ihnen geplaudert und sogar etwas Spaß gehabt.

Nun, wie sicher bist du dir, dass diese Leute real sind? Oder sollten wir eher sagen, wie sehr kümmert es dich überhaupt, wenn sie nicht echt sind?

Du hast möglicherweise die Personen getroffen, die angeheuert wurden, um sich als sie auszugeben.

Das Onegai Kaeru-Team hat ausländischen Medien bei Interviews geholfen. Ein bedeutender europäischer TV-Sender hat uns nach dem Geschäft mit dem Mieten von Freunden/Familienangehörigen in Japan gefragt. Wir haben das Interview und ein lokales Filmteam zur Unterstützung organisiert. Immer mehr Menschen außerhalb Japans interessieren sich für dieses Geschäftsmodell.

Aus irgendeinem Grund schreiben uns jeden Tag so viele Menschen und fragen, ob wir Jobs als Mietfrend/Familienmitglied anbieten. Natürlich tun wir das NICHT. Wir sind nicht im Geschäft mit dem Mieten von Menschen.

Trotzdem spüren wir großes Interesse an diesem Geschäft in Japan.

Deshalb dachten wir, 'vielleicht sollten wir eine Liste der Freunde zum Mieten erstellen'."

"In stressigen Situationen hilft es vielen Menschen, mit Freunden zu reden. In dieser hektischen Welt sind Freunde jedoch nicht immer verfügbar, um mit Ihnen zu sprechen oder etwas zu unternehmen.

Kann man wirklich einen Freund wie ein Auto mieten? Und die Antwort lautet: Ja, in Japan.

<<Das Mieten eines 'Ossan' (mittleren Alters) ist in Japan normal, hier erfahren Sie mehr>>

Es lässt sich nicht genau sagen, wie das Geschäft mit dem Mieten von Menschen in Japan entstanden ist. Aber jemanden für etwas so Persönliches zu engagieren, ist in Japan und Asien nicht ungewöhnlich (auch im alten Ägypten, Rom...).

Es gibt einen Beruf namens 'Naki-onna (泣き女) oder Weinen Frau' in China, Korea, Japan usw. Diese Frauen werden angeheuert, um bei Beerdigungen zu weinen, weil die Menschen in einigen Gegenden glaubten, je mehr Tränen vergossen werden, desto besser kann der Verstorbene im Himmel sein.

Früher wurden diese weinenden Frauen mit Reis bezahlt. Manche sagen, die Menge an Reis könne entscheiden, wie sehr die Frauen weinen würden.

Diese Tradition hielt in verschiedenen Gebieten Japans an (wie zum Beispiel in Teilen von Okinawa, auf der Insel Hachijojima, in Shimoda auf Izu und in ländlichen Gegenden von Kochi) bis zum Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Auf diese Weise war es nicht ungewöhnlich, jemanden zu engagieren, um an etwas so Persönlichem teilzunehmen. Möglicherweise könnte dies einer der Gründe, wenn nicht sogar der einzige Grund, für das Wachstum des Geschäfts mit dem Mieten von Freunden/Familienmitgliedern in Japan sein.

Warum möchten Sie einen Fremden als Ihre Familie oder Freund einstellen?

Nehmen wir eine Hochzeit als Beispiel.

Wir haben einmal an einer Hochzeit teilgenommen, bei der die Eltern des Bräutigams (unser Freund) gegen die Ehe waren und daher nicht anwesend waren.

Sein Chef besuchte die Hochzeit (in diesem Fall gab er übrigens nicht vor, der Vater des Bräutigams zu sein) und hielt eine Rede, die normalerweise sein Vater hätte halten sollen. Wir sind sicher, dass einige Freunde von der Seite der Braut sich seltsam gefühlt haben (da nicht alle über die Familienprobleme bezüglich der Ehe informiert waren).

Die Welt ist nicht perfekt. Einige Menschen haben Probleme mit ihren Eltern und können sie nicht zur Hochzeit einladen. Aber wegen eines Problems wie dem 'Gesichtsverlust' für die Seite des Partners verwenden manche Menschen diesen Service.

Eine ähnliche Situation kann bei anderen Zeremonien wie Beerdigungen auftreten.

Deshalb bieten viele Unternehmen an, jemanden zur Beerdigung zu schicken.

Das ist irgendwie ähnlich wie die 'weinende Frau', oder nicht?

Einige Kunden engagieren jemanden, um ihren Partner eifersüchtig zu machen. Zum Beispiel fühlte sich ein Mädchen von ihrem Freund nicht genug geliebt. Also engagierte sie einen gutaussehenden Jungen von der Agentur, um mit ihr auszugehen und ihren Freund eifersüchtig zu machen.

Wir sind uns bewusst geworden, dass es immer mehr Dienste für diesen Humanverleih gibt.

Jemanden schicken, um den Job zu kündigen

Fühlen Sie sich, als ob Ihr Chef zu furchterregend ist, um zu sagen, dass Sie kündigen möchten? Sie können jemanden schicken, um zu kündigen!

Jemanden schicken, um sich zu entschuldigen

Müssen Sie sich einem Kunden gegenüber entschuldigen? Mieten Sie einfach jemanden, der sich für Sie entschuldigt.

Es handelt sich um einen 'Nischen'-Bereich in der Branche. Tatsächlich kennen wir einige Einzelpersonen oder Unternehmen, die diesen Service hauptsächlich in Japan anbieten. Dies ist hier ein erstaunlich großes Geschäft.

Ein Unternehmen namens Client Partners, eine bekannte Detektei in Shibuya, Tokio, verleiht 'Freunde'.

Preis: 800 USD für 11 Stunden

(die Preisinformation stammt von Asahi News und kann je nach Fall variieren, möglicherweise auch günstiger aufgrund der starken Aufwertung des USD bis Oktober 2022)

Die offizielle Website gibt als Beispiel an, dass dieser Service geeignet ist für diejenigen, die:

sich zu schüchtern fühlen, alleine ins Fitnessstudio zu gehen und jemanden brauchen, der mitkommt

nicht mit einem Fremden im Spielcenter spielen möchten

jemanden benötigen, um einen (echten) Freund zu ersetzen, der nicht zu einer Party/Veranstaltung kommen konnte

gerade in eine neue Stadt gezogen sind und einen Freund brauchen, der sie herumführt und mit ihnen trinkt

Das Onegai Kaeru-Team weiß, dass es mehrere Unternehmen wie dieses gibt, die Dienstleistungen anbieten, um auf einer Hochzeit als Vater/Mutter/Freunde des Kunden oder ähnliches teilzunehmen (eine Hochzeit kostet etwa 120 USD).

Hier ist also die Liste (die Preise können variieren, Sie sollten die offizielle Website für die aktuellen Gebührenbereiche überprüfen):

Preis: ab 5000 JPY für 1 Stunde plus Reisekosten

Offizielle Website

Hinweis: Das Unternehmen gibt an, dass es von Frauen geführt wird. So können sich weibliche Kunden wohler fühlen.

Preis: ab 12.000 JPY für 3 Stunden plus Reisekosten

Offizielle Website

Tatsächlich haben wir das Interview für dieses Unternehmen durchgeführt. Das Unternehmen wurde von einem Schauspieler gegründet.

Wenn Sie die TV-Show von Conan O'Brien gesehen haben, ist dies das Unternehmen, das er vorgestellt hat.

Hinweis: Das Unternehmen gibt an, dass sie jemanden verleihen können, um Ihre Feier lustiger zu gestalten!

Preis: ab 10.000 JPY pro Fall plus Reisekosten

Offizielle Website

Hinweis: Das Unternehmen gibt an, dass sie Extras verleihen können.

Wie sind die Mitarbeiter im Bereich des Humanverleihs zu ihrem Job gekommen? Nun, die tatsächlichen Angestellten sind praktisch nicht vorhanden. In der Regel werden diese Geschäfte von einer oder zwei Personen betrieben. Der Rest sind alles Freiberufler, individuelle Auftragnehmer.

Das bedeutet, wenn Sie außerhalb Japans ansässig sind oder selbst wenn Sie sich in Japan befinden, aber keine Arbeitserlaubnis haben, haben Sie KEINE Chance, in einem Humanverleihunternehmen in Japan zu arbeiten.

Viele der Besucher, die unseren Artikel lesen, fragen uns, wie sie einen Job in solchen Familienverleihunternehmen bekommen können. Und wie bereits erwähnt, fragen uns einige, ob wir einen Job für sie haben.

Soweit wir wissen, arbeiten laut unseren Gesprächen mit solchen Familienverleihunternehmen wie Family Romance auch einige Ausländer, die in Japan mit einer gültigen Visa-Karte leben, als Verleihpersonen. Selbst wenn Sie Ausländer sind, können Sie sich anschließen. Beachten Sie jedoch, dass es kein festes Gehalt gibt, keine Visumunterstützung (falls Sie sich außerhalb Japans befinden). Sie verdienen in der Regel stundenweise oder pro Auftrag. Wiederum haben Sie im Grunde genommen KEINE Chance, für diese Unternehmen zu arbeiten, wenn Sie sich nicht in Japan befinden. (Stattdessen könnten Sie einen ähnlichen Service in Ihrem Land aufbauen und uns Bescheid geben! :) )

Wenn Sie sich in Japan befinden und einen Job in Japan suchen, müssen Sie sich direkt an diese Unternehmen wenden und nicht an uns. Wir sind zu beschäftigt, um auf solche Anfragen zu antworten (Entschuldigung!). Und wir übernehmen keinerlei Verantwortung für irgendetwas im Zusammenhang mit dem Job in den hier genannten Unternehmen.

Möchten Sie TV-Aufnahmen, Musikvideos oder Modenshootings in Japan machen? Wir sind Ihr lokaler Medien-Fixer in Japan.

Wie bereits oben erwähnt, kennen wir die Eigentümer und die Beteiligten im Bereich des Familienverleihs und haben bei Interviews für Medien wie National Geographic geholfen.

Als Fixer und lokaler Koordinator haben wir mit führenden TV-Sendern weltweit und Online-Medien zusammengearbeitet, um ihre Projekte in Japan umzusetzen. Wir übernehmen die Planung, organisieren die Veranstaltungsorte und stellen lokale professionelle Crews ein (Videografen, Fotografen, Editoren, Make-up-Künstler, Stylisten, Models, Dolmetscher usw.) für das Projekt.

Japan, ein Land, das für seine reiche kulturelle Vielfalt bekannt ist, ist nicht nur ein Ort alter Traditionen, sondern auch ein Zentrum einzigartiger Subkulturen, die oft dem Blick der Öffentlichkeit verborgen bleiben. Ein solches faszinierendes Phänomen, das der Außenwelt wenig bekannt ist, ist die komplexe und leidenschaftliche Welt der Fanclub-Kultur. Hinter den Kulissen der globalen Popkultur, Anime und Idole gedeiht Japans Fanclub-Kultur als ein labyrinthisches Netzwerk aus Leidenschaft, Loyalität und Kreativität.

Idol-Fanclubs: Der Herzschlag der Fankultur:

Im Zentrum der japanischen Fanclub-Kultur stehen Idol-Gruppen. Diese Künstler, von Pop-Idolen bis zu Underground-Bands, sammeln engagierte Fanbasen, von denen jede ihre eigenen Fanclubs hat. Diese Fanclubs sind nicht nur Orte, um Bewunderung auszudrücken; sie dienen als soziale Kreise, in denen Fans ihre Liebe für die Idole teilen, gemeinsam Konzerte besuchen und Fanart und Fanfiction erstellen, was ein tiefes Gemeinschaftsgefühl fördert.

Seiyuu-Fanclubs: Feiern von Synchronsprechern:

Seiyuu, oder Synchronsprecher, sind in Japan verehrte Persönlichkeiten, und ihre Fans bilden komplexe Fanclub-Gemeinschaften. Diese Clubs tauchen in die Welt von Anime und Videospielen ein, in der Fans nicht nur die Charaktere, sondern auch die Künstler hinter den Stimmen feiern. Seiyuu-Fanclubs organisieren Veranstaltungen, nehmen an Live-Aufnahmen teil und beteiligen sich an Diskussionen über Aufführungen, um den Charakteren, die sie verehren, Leben einzuhauchen.

Sport-Fanclubs: Über den Stadionlärm hinaus:

Obwohl der Sportsupport eine globale Erscheinung ist, treibt Japan ihn auf eine andere Ebene mit seinen Sport-Fanclubs. Anhänger von Baseball, Fußball, Sumo und anderen Sportarten gründen organisierte Fanclubs, von denen jeder seine eigenen Gesänge, Traditionen und Rituale hat. Diese Fanclubs schaffen eine elektrisierende Atmosphäre in den Stadien und tragen zum einzigartigen Erlebnis japanischer Sportveranstaltungen bei.

Vielfältige Fandoms: Von historischen Figuren bis zu virtuellen Idolen:

Japanische Fanclubs beschränken sich nicht nur auf die zeitgenössische Popkultur; sie erstrecken sich auf historische Persönlichkeiten, Schauspieler und sogar virtuelle Idole. Enthusiasten treten Fanclubs bei, die Samurai, Autoren, Schauspieler aus klassischen Filmen und sogar virtuelle YouTuber (VTuber) gewidmet sind. Diese vielfältigen Fandoms spiegeln Japans reiches kulturelles Erbe und seine nahtlose Integration mit moderner Technologie wider.

Fanart und kreative Ausdrucksformen: Die Seele der Fanclubs:

Ein charakteristisches Merkmal japanischer Fanclubs ist die Vielzahl kreativer Ausdrucksformen. Fans bringen ihre Leidenschaft in Fanart, Fanfiction und selbstgemachte Fanartikel ein und zeigen dabei oft bemerkenswertes Talent. Diese Kreationen feiern nicht nur das Ausgangsmaterial, sondern tragen auch zu einer lebendigen künstlerischen Gemeinschaft innerhalb der Fanclubs bei.

Fanclub-Veranstaltungen und exklusive Erlebnisse:

Fanclubs organisieren exklusive Veranstaltungen, Handshake-Treffen und Live-Auftritte, die Mitgliedern einzigartigen Zugang zu ihren Idolen und Lieblingspersönlichkeiten ermöglichen. Diese Veranstaltungen fördern ein Gefühl von Exklusivität und Zugehörigkeit und schaffen unvergessliche Erinnerungen für die Fans.

Im Wesentlichen ist Japans Fanclub-Kultur ein Zeugnis für die Tiefe der Leidenschaft und Hingabe, die Fans in ihre Interessen investieren. Diese Gemeinschaften bieten nicht nur Raum für Feierlichkeiten, sondern auch ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit, indem sie gleichgesinnte Menschen in einem gemeinsamen Streben nach Bewunderung und Kreativität verbinden. Während diese komplexe Welt vielleicht dem Blick der Öffentlichkeit verborgen bleibt, gedeiht sie als Beweis für die Kraft des Fandoms und die vielfältigen Formen, die es in der aufgehenden Sonne annehmen kann.

Finding skilled workers, especially in specialized fields like IT, and physical labor workers in Japan can be a daunting challenge for employers. The demand for proficient IT professionals, adept in the latest technologies, often outstrips the available talent pool, making recruitment a meticulous task. Likewise, sourcing qualified physical labor workers, who are crucial for various industries, requires thorough screening and effort.

In the intricate realm of IT, where innovation drives progress, employers seek individuals with not only technical expertise but also creativity and problem-solving skills. The fast-paced nature of technology necessitates constant upskilling, adding an additional layer of complexity to the hiring process. Employers must meticulously assess candidates for their adaptability, passion for learning, and ability to thrive in a dynamic work environment.

On the other hand, recruiting physical labor workers demands a keen understanding of specific skill sets, ranging from construction and manufacturing to manual trades. Identifying candidates with the right experience, strong work ethic, and a focus on safety is crucial. Moreover, ensuring a seamless integration of these workers into the existing team and workplace culture is vital for fostering a productive environment.

In response to these challenges, talllk emerge as invaluable resources. By providing a user-friendly interface, extensive candidate profiles, and transparent reviews, they streamline the hiring process.

アップルは新しいiPhone 15がこれまでで最高価格になると言われています。アップル製品は好きですが、ファッションでなく、仕事で使っている場合、その価格に見合っただけのアウトプットは既に失われていると感じるのは私だけしょうか？利用者として、アップルの製品の質は良いとは思っていません。長持ちという視点では作られていません。

日本ではiPhoneユーザ割合が他国に比べ多いのですが、とどまることを知らない高額化とついていかない品質により、そろそろ、アンドロイドに乗り換える動きが出てきているようです。

さて、今回は、アンドロイドアプリゲーム会社・開発者に朗報です。

弊社はアプリやソフトウェアの開発やUI/UXデザインをしてきております。その中で日本国外の面白い会社と協業することが多々あります。

弊社が窓口をつとめるヨーロッパ発の革新的なアプリストリーミングソルーションを紹介します。現在、欧米、日本、インドで利用されいます。スタートアップ側が、表立って名前を出したくないとのことで、会社名は非掲載です。既に、欧米のファンドから投資を受けています。

• アンドロイドアプリゲームを開発してもiOSでは使えない。
• iOS版まで開発、上市する手間を省きたい。
• Google Playへの手数料も払いたくない。
• アプリゲームをインストールしないでも、インストールしたかの如くにユーザに体験してほしい。但し、そのために、アプリを改修しなくてはならないのは、回避したい。
• もちろん、app storeやWindows Storeにもびた一文として支払う余裕はない。
• 既存のアプリストリーミングソルーションは、GPUコストが高すぎるし、拡張性が絶望的であると感じている。

上のどれかに当てはまる場合、実は、とても有効なアプリストリーミングソルーション技術があります。

どこが革新的かというと、ずばり、価格面とスケールメリットです。

通常のアプリストリーミングソルーションは、ゲーム会社側がGPU（NVIDIA,RADEON）を用意する必要があり、高コストであり、しかも、ユーザの体験としては、プレイ中にゲームがフリーズしたり、スロモになったりと、最悪の経験となる場合が多いのです。 そして、一番の問題は、多くのユーザが利用する場合、ユーザの増加に対応が簡単にできません。

弊社の紹介するアプリストリーミングソルーションでは、ゲーム会社側でのGPUが不要です。GPUは、ユーザ側のものを使います。ユーザが何万人であろうと、アプリゲームをまるでインストールしたかの如くの経験を提供することができるのです。アンドロイドゲーム会社側はただ、そのゲームを提供するだけで、利用可能です。インテグレーションの為のSDKも不要ですし、アプリの改修も不要です。

どんなAndroidのゲームでも、あらゆるデバイス（iOS, PC, Mac）で、まるでインストールしたかのようにユーザが遊べます。Google store、app storeやWindows Storeに載せたくない、載せられないゲームの上市、ゲームのベータテストや、トライアル広告等にも最適です。

投資をしたいという企業様の問い合わせも、お受けしております。但し、日本円で数十億円単位からのお話となります。

もしご興味ある会社があれば、ご連絡を。

For Question 

You love Kyoto and been there many times? Have you ever visited Saihoji temple?

Some say it is a hype as you can not visit there without the prior application.

It used to be only with the letter application where we help therewith.

In Covid pandemic, the temple introduced the online application for one or two people group with a higher entrance fee.

The huge disadvantage was you could only apply just between one day before and 2 weeks before (as of August, 2023). 

From 2023 November, the temple announced it will change the application rules.  Basically the new rules will improve the online application.

But there an unknown factor remains. The website says the online applicants can enjoy the special slots reserved for "Saihokai (club)". We will explain what this club is as we know as of now in the below section.

It is a big change if you are one person or a grope of two planning to apply. You will be able to apply 2 months before like the paper letter application. The website site says you can also pay online in advance.

That sounds so great.

If you can do, please try the new online application without us :)

(Updated Sept 2023) Now we found Saihokai IS in fact a type fanclub which charges you every year like 10000JPY-15000JPY which is far more than normal music group fanclub. And they reduced the simple paper base application menu and try to convince you to go for online application. You can only apply for 2 people slot (up to 5 ppl possible till the end of Oct, 2023) so if you are 5 people or so, you need to apply separately risking other members may not be able to join.

And as you see on their official site, there are more service menus Nichinichi tour and Oriori tour etc. And the temple has the nice looking website which runs animation and video.

Not sure if they hired some business consultant to come up with all this, many people would be a bit confused.

It made everything far more complicating for everyone not only people outside Japan but also Japanese in Japan.  And the beautiful website is so slow to open and hard to look. The old website was much simpler and easy.

We love Saihoji/kokedera temple so we are hoping all the best for the temple but the temple may need to think harder to make things far simpler as their image being simple and beautiful. As far as now, the temple is becoming some typical Japanese business which has very confusing menu and unreasonably expensive price for something it has little value (the Saihokai club which may turn to be great, who knows..) but seems to have paid huge amount for the not so good business consultant to make things worse.

We love this temple is trying new directions, but we are worried for where it is going to.. We can see the near future there will be many complaints then the temple will change menu and rules again and again which will cause even more confusion for all, and their image will go down.

The official website says the online applicants can enjoy the special slots reserved "ONLY" for "Saihokai (club)".

This makes us worry if you want to apply online, you may need to be a member of this "Saihokai club".

The temple says it will launch Saihokai (club) from Sept, 2023. From what we see, it looks like some online community you need to join to be member of. Then the club sends you some "member only information" and you can also purchase "special items"...

We will see what it will be and how you can join if you are interested.

We are very excited about it while a bit also worried, as many in Japan complaining about the commercialism of temple and shrine.. We are hoping for the best! 

We hope the online application remains open for non-Saihokai member (like a normal tourist like you) too.

The temple may read this article and may change their direction for you and all tourists who simply want to visit one of the greatest gardens in the world.

When we find out more, we may update you with more info!

(UPDATE!) As of Sept, 2023, we found out more about the Saihokai club. It is a paid membership like Fanclub, you pay 10,000JPY for one year and then, after the first year, you pay 15,000JPY every year. You can find out from the official website. 

If you are interested to join the temple Saihokai club, we "may" provide the proxy service as long as the conditions met.

So we hope everyone can apply via the new online application but so far as far as we see, the online application is still limited to the single person or 2 people group and not even sure if you can get a seat if you are not a member of Saihokai club..

An experience with Saihoji temple - Kokedera temple.  If you are a group of 3 or bigger, not wanting to going through the hassle with online registration, we can still help you.

This is how we help. First you send the letter with your preferred date with a return stamp on another letter.

With the new application rule effective in Nov, 2023, you must apply between 1 month and 2 month before your preferred date. Some people contacting us just 2 weeks before the date. It will be impossible to deal with from now. You need to contact us 2 month before or at least 1.5 month before your preferred date.

On the return the letter, the temple tells you which date you can attend. You are supposed to bring a calligraphy pen (called "Fude-pen") because you need to copy the sacred letters of Buddhism on your visit. 

In popular season, there are around 140 attendees.

With the pen you bring, you copy the sacred letters of Buddhism on your visit (at the end of the writing, you can write your wish) and you pay 4000JPY (3000JPY till Oct, 2023) or more (34USD or so).

After this, you can walk around the temple with the great garden full of moss. It may be 30-50mins walk (around 1km).

If you use our service, with the service fee of 60USD, we will prepare the necessary doc and send them to the temple to see if the seat is available. This does NOT include the entry fee of temple (3000JPY(4000JPY from Nov, 2023) per person)

You need to give us

1) three - four candidate dates (we can not specify the time).

2) Your name

3) how many in total to visit ( up to 5 people (till the end of Oct, 2023 after which you can only apply for two people max by paper as well as online) and if more, you need to consult us to communicate with the temple)

4) Your home address (not a hotel in Japan) and Tel. no

5) Your hotel address in Japan (to put on the application letter to receive the result directly from the temple, or if you wish us to send the temple response in Japan) 

The easiest process to get the reply is that you inform your place of stay to receive the result directly from the temple, then you can call up the place of your stay to see if positive or not if you are curious. This is the fastest and cheapest.

Another way is we get the result and if positive, we can send it to your place of stay. You still need to inform the place of your stay about the result coming. We will send the entry permit or other reply from the temple to your hotel in Japan by the letter with tracking usually 5USD, or EMS to your home in overseas usually 30-40USD.

Be careful if your stay is AirBnB or so. They can not receive the result letter. So you must inform and get an okay from the place of your stay.

Our tip: Spring (March and April) Autumn (late Oct to Nov) are the extremely busy seasons so you must submit your request at least 2 months before.

With everything becoming more expensive all over the world, the temple also wants to increase its entrance fee. It will be 4000JPY per person even for the letter applicants.

You can find out more on the official website. We are not always up to date about the information. If anything different in the information, the official information always prevails and you need to contact the temple if anything unclear. 

In Japan, with more tourists visiting, we hear almost everyday on bad news about some tourists making problems here and there exp. at temples and shrines, and in the public places.

Engraving or writing something on the properties of these places. We all know it is not everyone but even when a couple of people did this type of act, people here would sadly tend to think almost all tourists are acting like this..

We know the temple wants to care about the people who can not use internet so it keeps the paper base application. Yet, it is better if the temple decides if going 100% digital or not.

It only confuses the applicants. We are aware of the pain points the temple faces with so many paper applications due to the huge increase in the tourist numbers in 2023. 

We anyway love the Saihoji temple garden. It is the amazing place to visit !

For Question 

2023年に入り、パナマ運河は干ばつの為、船の水深制限を改定してきている。今回は5回目である。50フィートから47.5フィートになった。つまり、この制限を超えてしまう船は、荷物を降ろさなければならない。2023年4月現在、今回の制限の終了について期日がないが、これから雨期に入るので、制限解除がされると思われる。

Now we see many foreign tourists back in Japan. Many tourist locations such as Kyoto have been extremely crowded.

So you got your flight ticket to Japan and booked some hotels (at quite inflated prices) and started packing in the last minutes?

You suddenly wondered what is going on with Japan with mask rules after the corona time?

On TV, you saw many Japanese at the World Cup stadium wearing masks while other visitors not wearing at all (yes, they cleaned up their seats after the game).

Our advice

Our advise here is that you do not need to wear mask in Japan now but you bring two or three masks at least and carry one with you. 

In fact Japanese government announced that it should be an individual decision whether wear mask or not on and after 13th of March, 2023 (this is not an April fool joke!).

As of today April, 2023 the Japanese government, you do not need to wear masks but if you come to Japan, you see almost 99% of people wearing masks indoor and outdoor.

Probably you do not see many wearing masks in your flight (and those looking like Japanese also not wearing!) and would feel like it would be so when you land. 

Wrong! 

As soon as you land on Japan soil, you already start seeing a different picture. Everyone wearing masks including those Japanese you saw on your flight (if they still do not wear masks at this point, they may not be Japanese)! 

At the airport you see still many of your fellow tourists without masks and may even find your comrade(s) in the shuttle bus or train from the airport to the nearby city. But when you get to the city, you are in a different universe where everyone with masks.

It is not an exaggeration. You get on a local train, and you find yourself is only one not wearing mask. If you want to blend in, we recommend you to wear masks. 

We really do not think you need to wear. Most of our friends (Japanese and non Japanese) do not wear masks in Japan any more.

But you at least bring masks in your bag/pocket in Japan so you can take it out and wear when needed. The government policy (from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan) also mentioned that you are recommended to wear masks in crowded places like train or bus in the busy time or are in close contact with someone who may be vulnerable to the covid.

And it is because we still see some venues require you to wear masks. For example, when the owner of a restaurant sets a rule to wear mask inside, you need to follow that.  It is up the owner how the visitors should behave in a certain way.

Enjoy your stay in Japan!

The below is a very cool mask concept we saw in Japan! If you need, contact us!

For Question 

Securing an anime-related job in Japan as a non-Japanese individual can be challenging, but it's not impossible. To increase your chances of finding employment in the anime industry in Japan, having the following abilities and qualities is essential:

1. Fluency in Japanese: Proficiency in the Japanese language is crucial. While some international companies might operate in English, most Japanese companies, especially in the anime industry, require employees to be fluent in Japanese to effectively communicate and collaborate with colleagues.
2. Specialized Skills: Develop specialized skills that are relevant to the anime industry. This could include animation, illustration, graphic design, voice acting, scripting, or any other creative or technical skill related to anime production.
3. Education and Training: Pursue relevant education and training. Consider enrolling in animation or multimedia-related courses, both in your home country and, if possible, in Japan. Having a degree or certification from a reputable institution can make you more appealing to employers.
4. Portfolio: Build a strong portfolio showcasing your skills and previous work. Whether you are an animator, illustrator, or any other type of artist, having a portfolio that demonstrates your abilities is crucial. Make sure your portfolio is professional and well-presented.
5. Networking: Network with professionals in the anime industry. Attend conventions, workshops, and other events related to anime and connect with people working in the field. Networking can help you learn about job opportunities and get valuable insights from industry insiders.
6. Cultural Understanding: Understand and respect Japanese culture, customs, and workplace etiquette. Being culturally sensitive and adaptable is important when working in a foreign country.
7. Perseverance and Patience: Be prepared for a competitive job market. Finding a job in the anime industry, especially as a non-Japanese individual, might take time. Be persistent, keep honing your skills, and be open to internships or entry-level positions that can be stepping stones to better opportunities.
8. Visa and Legal Requirements: Ensure you have the necessary visa and work permits to work in Japan legally. Research the visa requirements for your specific situation and comply with the regulations.
9. Passion and Dedication: Show genuine passion for anime and dedication to your craft. Employers in the anime industry look for individuals who are not only skilled but also passionate about the work they do.

Remember that breaking into any competitive industry requires a combination of talent, skills, perseverance, and sometimes a bit of luck. Stay focused on improving your abilities, be open to learning, and keep applying to relevant positions to increase your chances of finding a job in the anime industry in Japan.

Working as a manga-related professional in Japan can be both rewarding and challenging even for a Japanese person.

The manga industry is highly competitive, and breaking into it requires a combination of talent, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the industry. Here's a detailed and comprehensive overview of what it's like to work as a manga-related worker in Japan:

1. Competition:

The manga industry in Japan is incredibly competitive. There are thousands of aspiring manga artists, writers, editors, and other professionals vying for limited opportunities. Publishers receive numerous submissions daily, making it difficult for newcomers to get noticed.

2. Skill and Talent:

To succeed in the manga industry, you need exceptional artistic skills and creativity. Manga artists must master various drawing styles, perspectives, and emotions to convey the story effectively. Writers need strong storytelling abilities, original ideas, and a deep understanding of character development.

3. Education and Training:

Having a strong educational background in art, illustration, or a related field is advantageous. Many successful manga artists attend specialized manga schools or universities to hone their skills. However, talent and a standout portfolio often weigh more heavily than formal education.

4. Japanese Language Proficiency:

Fluency in Japanese is essential. Most communication within the industry happens in Japanese, and understanding the language is crucial for collaboration with editors, fellow artists, and writers. If you're a non-Japanese speaker, learning the language is a necessity.

5. Long Working Hours:

Working in the manga industry often involves long hours of intense work. Artists and writers frequently have tight deadlines to meet, which can lead to extended workdays and minimal free time. The pressure to produce high-quality work within tight schedules is a common challenge.

6. Editorial Control:

Manga artists and writers typically work closely with editors. While editors can provide valuable guidance, they also exert significant influence over the creative process. Balancing artistic integrity with editorial feedback can be challenging, especially for newcomers who are still establishing their voice in the industry.

7. Job Stability:

Job stability can be uncertain, especially for freelance manga artists. Contracts might be short-term or project-based, making financial planning challenging. Only a handful of artists achieve long-term success and financial stability.

8. Intellectual Property Rights:

Understanding intellectual property rights is crucial. In some cases, creators may have limited control over their work, especially if they are working for established publishers. Negotiating contracts and ensuring fair compensation for your creations is a complex aspect of the industry.

9. Market Trends:

The manga industry is influenced by market trends and reader preferences. Staying relevant and adapting your style to match current trends is essential. Adhering to a specific genre or style might limit opportunities if the market demand shifts.

10. Networking:

Building a professional network is vital. Attending conventions, workshops, and industry events allows you to meet fellow professionals, editors, and potential collaborators. Networking can lead to valuable opportunities and collaborations.

So...

Working as a manga-related professional in Japan demands immense dedication, talent, and resilience. While the industry offers the chance to bring imaginative stories to life, aspiring manga artists and writers must be prepared for the challenges, including fierce competition, demanding schedules, and the need for continuous self-improvement. Success often comes to those who persevere, continuously refine their craft, and navigate the complexities of the industry with determination and adaptability.

Let's delve deeper into the fascinating world of mangaka in Japan, exploring their unique experiences, challenges, and the impact they have on the global stage.

1. Diverse Beginnings and Creative Journeys:

The journey of a mangaka often begins with a spark of creativity and a passion for storytelling. Some start as wide-eyed enthusiasts, while others find mentorship under established artists. Regardless of their beginnings, each mangaka's creative journey is unique, shaped by their experiences, influences, and relentless dedication.

2. The Studio Symphony:

Inside the bustling studios of mangaka, a symphony of creativity plays out daily. Assistants buzz around, adding intricate details to backgrounds, perfecting characters, and infusing life into the panels. This collaborative effort, akin to an artistic orchestra, ensures that even the most complex manga series meet their strict publication deadlines.

3. The Enigmatic Pen Names:

Behind every beloved manga series lies a mystery – the mangaka's pseudonym. These pen names are carefully chosen, often reflecting a deeper meaning or personal connection. This anonymity allows them to craft worlds without boundaries, shielded from the constraints of reality.

4. From the Artist's Soul to the Editor's Desk:

The relationship between a mangaka and their editor is a delicate dance. Editors offer invaluable guidance, shaping narratives, and refining artwork. This partnership, built on trust and mutual respect, ensures that the essence of the mangaka's vision remains intact while resonating with diverse readers.

5. The Global Tapestry of Inspiration:

Mangaka draw inspiration from a vibrant global tapestry. From the cherry blossoms of Kyoto to the bustling streets of New York, the world becomes their canvas. International cultures, art styles, and traditions weave seamlessly into their work, creating manga that transcends borders and captures the hearts of readers worldwide.

6. The Humble Origins of Legendary Creations:

Behind every iconic series lies humble beginnings. The pioneers of manga, such as Osamu Tezuka, often started with a dream and a pen. Their timeless creations like "Astro Boy" and "Black Jack" paved the way for future generations, inspiring mangaka worldwide to push the boundaries of imagination.

7. Embracing Challenges and Triumphs:

The life of a mangaka is not without challenges. Financial struggles, creative blocks, and the pressure of deadlines are constants in their world. Yet, it's within these challenges that they find strength. Each triumph, each completed series, is a testament to their resilience, proving that art can indeed conquer adversity.

8. Manga's Evolution into Anime:

Mangaka are not confined to the pages of comic books. Their creations often leap onto screens, evolving into anime series that captivate audiences visually and emotionally. This seamless transition from manga to anime showcases the versatility of their storytelling, reaching a broader audience and leaving a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.

So...

Mangaka, with their boundless creativity, unwavering dedication, and ability to bridge cultures, are the architects of fantastical worlds. Their pens wield magic, turning blank pages into vibrant narratives that echo in the hearts of readers globally. As we celebrate the artistry of manga, let's also acknowledge the indomitable spirit of the mangaka, whose imagination knows no bounds, enriching our lives one captivating story at a time.

The last person (a woman in her 70s) who lived on Kuroshima island, Goshima city, Nagasaki passed away this summer making the island with no resident.

Kuroshima island had 36 families, total of ca 200 people living about 70 years ago. The main industry was fishery. Many moved out for schools and jobs. There was only one resident in the last several years.

All people left the island. We wondered what made this woman stay there? But we often notice that many people in rural areas of Japan do not want to move out of their home towns even almost all people deserted the area. It is the town they grew up and their ancestors tried to make life. The field, forest, ocean, river, the graveyards of old generations etc.  We can somewhat understand.

We hope the woman had a happy life.

The shuttle boat to the island from Fukuejima island (located 7km away therefrom) stopped on the end of Sept 2021.

No one living there any longer does not mean you can go there and live there freely. The lands still belong to each owners and you are not allowed to intrude the areas.

For Question 

We work with the polices/authorities/lawyers in/outside Japan from time to time to tackle various types of crimes/scammers. 

When we helped companies enter Japan market, some asked us if they have to pay "protection money" to mafia groups when they open a bar, restaurant in Japan.

We were aware of the protection money activities in many countries. South Italy is probably well known. In many countries esp. emerging ones, you often really can not avoid such cost. Sometimes it is not a mafia group but the local authorities themselves ask for such money. In that case, you need to decide if you should really enter that market or go and find alternatives.

Yet, the impression of Japan is so peaceful so that very few expect such a crime exists. It is strange because many know Yakuza exist in Japan (from news, movies and games) and how they make a living?

Even in a peaceful looking part of Tokyo, some restaurant owners there told us that they pay some "fee" because it is a must. It surprises us. 

It is called Mikajime-ryo ( literally meaning the "3rd-closing-fee"). The term is said to come from the closing day being a 3rd of every month or the deadline being a 3 day.

Our advise is "No" and if asked for such a money, go to the police right away and work with them closely.

At the same time, it means when you open a restaurant or even non food related business, there is always a risk that you may be asked to pay such money. It is because there are reports every year that people had to pay such money in Japan. The most recent one as of Dec, 2022 is from Hokkaido; in 2022 there were 46 cases where the authority had to render the orders to stop such activities in Hokkaido.

The mafia does not ask just money from you because it can criminalizes such an action easily. To avoid being arrested easily, it can be often some products to sell to you. Thus such a fee can be disguised as a normal business trade. Fake flowers/decorative fake plants and wet towels are common items the shop needs to buy. The police says that towards the end of the year the mafia group may try to sell some lucky charm ornaments for the new year for an excessive price.

The fee usually 3,000JPY per month to 10,000JPY per month based on the Hokkaido police. In Osaka case, one shop paid 20,000JPY per month in 2022.

If you open a sex related shop and a shop with high revenue potential, the risk is even higher. You need to carry out very careful research and also advise from the relevant authorities/experts in the field.

For Question 

How are you doing at the end of 2022?

We hope you all stay safe and healthy. Many people are getting flu and covid around us all around the world. It still worries us that there are still more wave of infections to come.

We would like to keep you updated with anime news today.

How big the anime related market in Japan?

It is more than 2.7trillion JPY in 2021!

This was the biggest in the history of Japan and expected to grow further.

Anime related sales in 2021 grew by 13% from 2020.

Due to the corona pandemic, anime streaming market grew by 65%.

How many of you stayed at home in the pandemic and watch anime on streaming sites in 2020-2021? Many of you most likely did. We did so. When the government recommended us not to go out, we had basically very few things to do at home. Watching Amazon prime and Disney +, watching Netflix. As you know, Netflix laying off its employees like crazy. It shows the streaming market has reached its limit somehow. We all want to go out if we can. Watching the anime all day was not what many of us really wanted.

Anime related sales outside Japan also grew by 6% in 2021. More anime related companies in Japan put more effort to sell overseas. We think this can grow really well in the future. 6% growth seems too small.

Recently we were at Pokemon Center in Tokyo and there were so many tourists from overseas. Maybe even more than Japanese.

For Question 

DMM - originally an adult video seller which made fortune from the business and diversified its business scope. Now you see DMM run a digital art venue such as DMM teamLab in Odaiba, Tokyo. 

The company starts its streaming site (not adult!).

It costs 550JPY per month and you can watch around 4600 title of animation titles.

You can register from the official website.

For Question 

Japanese government announced 599,836 babies born between January and September, 2022. It was 4.9% lower than 2021.

Since the mid 1970, Japanese stopped having many babies.

At this pace, the population in Japan decreases while the elderly population therein increases.

Some study says Japanese will go extinct in some near future.

For Question 

You know Kochi prefecture is one very beautiful place you should visit. We were there sometimes visiting one of the clearest rivers called Niyodo-river in Japan.

2022 9th of Nov will see the Anime Damashi Summit in Kochi city.

Around 40 anime related companies such as Shogakkan Shueisha, Kadokawa, Kaiyodo, Studio Eight Colors(based in Kochi city) etc. gather for the meeting.

This shall be part of the Kochi Anime Creator festival - Project Zero to be held in Kochi city, Nankoku city and Susaki city, Kochi pref.

Kochi pref tries to invite more animation related industry to be based there and also create more animation content based on Kochi area.

This way, the prefecture believes it can create more jobs and attract more population as well as more local tourism.

There are many animator wanna bes not only in Japan but also around the world. We hope this project goes well.

At  this moment, Susaki city is making a long animation work based on the city.

The summit shall be on the 3rd floor of Golden Pacific of Hotel Nikko Kochi from 11:30AM on 9th Nov, 2022.

For Question 

Are you operating business in Japan?

Are you employing Japanese and getting a report of "harassment"?

Or are you employed in Japan and feeling uncomfortable/harassed?

You may have a case of harassment in Japan.

Around us, we have heard of so many cases of harassments. Sometimes the boss is bullying.  

In the modern global business landscape, cultural diversity is a strength, fostering innovation, creativity, and collaboration. However, it also brings unique challenges, especially when it comes to understanding and addressing sensitive issues such as workplace harassment. For many foreign corporations operating in Japan, navigating the nuances of Japanese workplace culture can be a daunting task, particularly in the face of harassment-related challenges.

To bridge this gap and empower organizations to foster a respectful and inclusive work environment, we proudly present our upcoming Anti-Harassment Seminar in Japan. We have trainers specialized in anti-harassment most of who are working full time in corporations.

Understanding the Challenge: Harassment in Japanese Workplace

Japan, known for its rich heritage and strong work ethic, has a unique corporate culture deeply rooted in tradition. However, this culture can sometimes inadvertently perpetuate harassment, making it difficult for foreign corporations to recognize and address the problem effectively. Harassment can manifest in various forms, such as verbal abuse, discriminatory behavior, or unwanted advances, causing significant distress among employees and hindering productivity.

Many of our foreign clients came up to us and asked what "power harassment" is, why so many reports about the harassment in their office?

Yet, possible to set up some systems in the office where everyone shares the same understandings what constitute what "harassment" and can speak up before getting serious), where diversity and inclusivity reign supreme.

So what is "power harassment" in Japan?

Power Harassment in Japan: Understanding the Concept

Power harassment, known as "pawā hārassumento or Pawa-Hara" in Japanese, refers to a form of harassment where individuals misuse their power or authority in the workplace to intimidate, bully, or victimize others. It can take various forms, including verbal abuse, humiliation, excessive monitoring, unfair treatment, or isolation. Power harassment can have severe consequences on the victim's mental and physical well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and reduced productivity.

The 2022 Law: Addressing Power Harassment in Japan

In response to the growing concern about workplace harassment, including power harassment, Japan introduced the "Work Style Reform" legislation in 2019, which included provisions specifically addressing power harassment. The law aimed to create a more inclusive and respectful work environment by defining and prohibiting power harassment. The law also established guidelines for employers to prevent and address power harassment within their organizations.

Under the 2022 law, employers are required to take proactive measures to prevent power harassment, including implementing policies and procedures, providing training to employees, and conducting thorough investigations into reported incidents. Employers are also expected to provide support and protection to victims and take disciplinary actions against perpetrators.

Distinguishing Power Harassment from Performance Management: Challenges and Considerations

Distinguishing between power harassment and legitimate performance management can be challenging, as both may involve giving feedback, setting expectations, or providing corrective actions. However, there are key differences that employers should consider:

1. Intent and Motivation: Power harassment involves malicious intent, where the harasser abuses their authority to harm the victim psychologically or emotionally. In contrast, performance management is conducted with the intention of improving the employee's skills and productivity for the benefit of the organization.

2. Consistency and Fairness: Performance management is applied consistently to all employees based on objective criteria, job responsibilities, and organizational goals. Power harassment, on the other hand, is arbitrary and unfair, targeting specific individuals without valid reasons.

3. Documentation and Transparency: Performance management processes are well-documented, transparent, and communicated clearly to the employee. In cases of power harassment, there is often a lack of transparency, and the victim may feel targeted without understanding the reasons behind the mistreatment.

4. Impact on the Victim: Power harassment has a severe negative impact on the victim's mental and physical well-being, often leading to stress, anxiety, and decreased job satisfaction. Performance management, when conducted appropriately, should motivate employees to improve their skills and performance without causing emotional distress.

Employers need to strike a balance between ensuring performance standards are met and preventing power harassment. Proper training, clear communication, and a supportive work environment are essential in navigating this delicate balance.

In summary, the 2022 law in Japan provides a legal framework to address power harassment, emphasizing the importance of prevention, awareness, and support for victims. Differentiating between power harassment and performance management requires careful evaluation of the intent, consistency, transparency, and impact on the individuals involved, ensuring a fair and respectful workplace for all employees.

The 2022 latest research (Source : IT media) shows that more than 50% of freelancers in anime industry earn less than 20000USD (3million JPY) in 2021.  60% of these are so called animators including character designer. This does not mean more than 50% earn 20000USD annually. But most of them are expectedly earning much less such as less than 10000USD per year.

25% of animators say they will be out of job after Oct, 2023 (among of which, 40.6% being in 20s and 36.7% being in 30s). This timing is the start of a new tax related regulation called Invoice system in Japan. This system increases more burden on the corporations to make sure all of their suppliers (in this case, animators) to follow the system but in reality animators can not afford to follow with documentations in their busy daily lives.

Only 3% answers they earn more than 10million JPY in 2021.

The research was conducted between 9-16 Oct, 2022 for 1132 freelancers in anime industry.

So, many animators earn low and face the inflation issue but how animators survive in Japan?

One very common way is to live with the parents and pay no or little rent.

Another way we see more common from now is to form an organization (semi-legal entity) to hire animators and collect some budget to follow the invoice system.

For Question 

Emigrating to Malaysia offers a plethora of unique advantages, including a rich cultural tapestry that harmoniously blends diverse traditions, a warm and welcoming local populace, and a vibrant culinary scene that tantalizes the taste buds with an array of flavors.

With a stable economy and a robust healthcare system, Malaysia provides immigrants with access to high-quality medical facilities and a cost-effective lifestyle. The country's breathtaking natural beauty, from tropical rainforests to pristine beaches, offers an idyllic environment for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike, fostering a sense of tranquility and adventure simultaneously. Moreover, Malaysia's strategic location in Southeast Asia makes it a gateway to exploring neighboring countries, allowing immigrants to embark on enriching travel experiences. Additionally, Malaysia boasts a comparatively lower cost of living, coupled with a myriad of housing options, making it an attractive prospect for individuals seeking affordability without compromising on quality of life.

Furthermore, the nation's multicultural society fosters a sense of inclusivity, encouraging immigrants to engage in various festivals and traditions, forging deep connections and friendships within the community. Embracing Malaysia's progressive education system enhances the opportunities for quality learning and personal growth, making it an ideal destination for families.

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program offers a pathway to long-term residency, enabling immigrants to relish these benefits while experiencing the warmth of Malaysian hospitality, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a fulfilling and enriching life abroad.

When considering immigration to Malaysia, there are several crucial aspects to be mindful of for a successful and legal transition.

What to Be Careful With:

Visa Regulations: Ensuring you possess the correct visa category before entering Malaysia is paramount. Overstaying any visa, be it a tourist visa or any other type, can result in substantial fines, detention, or even deportation. It's essential to understand the specific requirements of the visa you are applying for and comply with the regulations set forth by the Immigration Department of Malaysia.

Respect for Local Customs: Malaysia is a culturally diverse nation with a blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous influences. It's vital to respect local customs, traditions, and religious practices. Public displays of affection, especially in conservative areas, should be avoided. Additionally, during religious festivals, certain practices and behaviors might be observed, and it's courteous to familiarize yourself with them.

Employment: If your purpose of immigration includes employment, obtaining the appropriate work permit is essential. Working in Malaysia without proper authorization is illegal and can lead to severe consequences, including deportation. Employers usually assist in obtaining work permits for expatriates, but it's crucial to verify the legitimacy of your employment status to avoid legal issues.

Legal Requirements: Understanding and adhering to local laws and regulations are of utmost importance. Malaysia has strict drug laws, and possession, trafficking, or even being caught in the company of those involved in drug-related activities can lead to severe penalties, including the death penalty. It's imperative to stay on the right side of the law at all times.

Healthcare: Having comprehensive health insurance is highly recommended. While public healthcare services are available, many expatriates opt for private healthcare facilities, which offer high-quality services. Adequate health insurance coverage ensures you are financially protected in case of medical emergencies or unexpected health issues.

Language: While English is widely spoken, especially in urban areas and among the younger population, learning basic Malay (Bahasa Malaysia) can significantly enhance your daily interactions and integration into the local community. Malaysians appreciate efforts to communicate in their native language, and it fosters positive social interactions.

Popular Destinations in Malaysia:

Kuala Lumpur: The capital city, Kuala Lumpur, is a vibrant hub of modernity and tradition. From iconic landmarks like the Petronas Twin Towers to bustling street markets and diverse culinary experiences, KL offers a dynamic lifestyle.

Penang: Known as the "Pearl of the Orient," Penang is famous for its historical sites, diverse street food, and unique cultural heritage. George Town, the capital of Penang, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring colonial architecture and vibrant street art.

Langkawi: This picturesque archipelago is renowned for its pristine beaches, lush jungles, and duty-free shopping. Langkawi offers a tranquil environment, making it a favorite destination for relaxation and nature enthusiasts.

Johor Bahru: Situated at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, Johor Bahru is a rapidly growing city. It offers a mix of modern attractions, theme parks, shopping malls, and historical sites. Its proximity to Singapore makes it a popular choice for expatriates.

East Coast Islands: Islands such as Perhentian and Tioman are renowned for their white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and exceptional diving spots. These islands provide a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Long-Term Visa Requirements:

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Program: This popular program allows expatriates to obtain long-term residency in Malaysia. To qualify, applicants need to meet specific financial criteria, including demonstrating a monthly income, providing proof of financial assets, and meeting certain medical requirements. The MM2H program offers participants the flexibility to live, work, or retire in Malaysia.

Employment Pass: If you plan to work in Malaysia, securing an employment pass is essential. Typically, your prospective employer sponsors this pass, and it is contingent upon having a job offer from a Malaysian company. The pass is usually valid for the duration of your employment contract.

Spouse Visa: If you are married to a Malaysian citizen, you can apply for a spouse visa, enabling you to reside in Malaysia. The application process involves providing proof of marriage and other documentation. This visa category facilitates family reunification for expatriates.

Student Visa: If you intend to pursue studies in Malaysia, you can apply for a student visa. You must have an acceptance letter from a recognized educational institution in Malaysia. Student visas are typically granted for the duration of the academic program and allow you to reside in the country during your studies.

It's crucial to consult the official website of the Immigration Department of Malaysia or visit the nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate to obtain the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding visa requirements and procedures. Regulations and requirements may have evolved since my last update in September 2021, so staying informed is essential for a successful immigration process.

Japan offers you a unique experience. 

Extraordinary tranquility at Kokedera-temple (can apply to reserve and book using our service), love hotel culture and the family rental services if you need some family in Japan. 

You may have learnt about them from our news article.

But how about paying to get face-slapped?

There are some izakaya-Japanese bar which offer you a slap service by almost all cases a female waitress (young female). 

Price varies from 300JPR - 500JPY and at some places you can select which staff to slap you for 100JPY on the top.

Where can you get this service if you may be into it? And a simple question why the slap being a thing in Japan?

Where can you get this service if you may be into it?

You can get the slap service at the following izakaya in Japan ( due to Covid situation, the information may be too old and you need to check with the bar directly.)

Shachihoko-ya, located in Sakae, Nagoya.

It is only 300JPY to get hit on your face by a female staff (not sure if you want to be hit by a male staff).

Yotteba, the bar has branches in Akihabara, Tokyo, Funabashi, Chiba etc.

You can check the addresses of the branches from the official website

500JPY to get a slap. And if you want to choose from whom you want to be hit, you can pay 100JPY etra.

And a simple question why the slap being a thing in Japan?

Interesting enough... But why?!

Why slapping is so popular/accepted in Japan?

One perspective had been a face-slap was a very common way of punishment at schools in Japan till 90s. Esp. in 70s and 80s, if you studied in a school in Japan, you witnessed some of your classmates hit by teachers of course for doing something very bad. You also notice many of the TV drams based on school life in Japan during that era can not be aired basically because of many scenes of physical punishments therein. 

( We know these punishments were/still are actually common in many countries though...)

Good or bad, this way, many are used to the concept of "slap" even if not to being slapped.     

The below is just a popular TV drama but a face-slap was really common then in Japan.

Another perspective : this should have come from the Antonio Inoki - a Japanese professional wrestler who recently passed away (1943-2022).

Many believed that his slap could give them power and luck and many asked him to slap them.

You see the footage of slapping by Antonio Inoki below.

This made a slapping-as-service normal in Japan. And this was combined by a slightly kinky demand from men wanting to be slapped by women such as a SM club in Japan. We consider this slap service at bar in Japan a mini-version of S and M club service.

Another reason is of course, you get attention on SNS for such a post. Some friends overseas even sent us the posts of slaps at bar in Japan.

IMFはバングラデシュの2023年経済成長予測を元々の6.7％から6％に下げました。

これまで中国製がほとんどだった洋服の生産地がバングラデシュ一色になって久しいです。ユニクロが進出し、中国生産からバングラデシュ生産へ転換したわけですが、これによる一時的な質の低下もある程度は緩和してきたと感じてます。バングラデシュの経済の牽引役であったはずのアパレル産業が、今はバングラデシュの経済成長を妨げています。

それは何故でしょうか？バングラデシュ製のアパレルは、中間層をターゲットにしています。コロナ禍の恐慌により、世界中の中間層が、衣料品より、先ずは、食料品と消費をしぼるようになっているからです。

そして、もう一つの不安材料は以下で説明しますが、バングラデシュのガス依存です。

さて、バングラデシュでのIT開発案件や、バングラデシュ企業の輸出支援など、なにかとバングラデシュとは関係の深い弊社ですが、最近の同国の動きに注目しています。

アジアの新興国で起きてる経済の大混乱が起きる兆しが見えています。

2022年10月中旬現在、バングラデシュでは、毎日のように3-4時間の停電が起きています。10月でもなかなか暑い国ですので、エアコンがきれて、現地の人々は大変なめにあっているわけです。この停電は、中心地ダッカであっても、全てのエリアではないにせよ、発生しています。事故として発生しているわけでなく、政府の決断として、起こしているわけですが、日本のように、いついつに停電するといった計画停電でなく、勝手に電気が切れるので、こまります。

バングラデシュの人々は困ってはいるのですが、楽観的に考えている人も多いようです。なぜかというと、バングラデシュという国は15年ほど前まで、よく停電する国だったので、停電慣れしている人が多いのです。

今のバングラデシュは電力不足なのです。原子力発電のないバングラデシュでは、米国製の設備を使いガスによる発電を行っています。ロシアとウクライナの戦争による世界的なガス不足で、十分な電力が発電できていません。この状態が続くと、他のインフラにも影響が出るものと思われます。インターネットも使えなくなる可能性があると噂されています。スリランカなど多くのアジアの国のように、ロシアからガスの供給を受けることになり、状態が向上することが期待されますが、弊社としては、向こう6カ月は予断は許されてない状況と考えます。

2022年5月のスリランカは大混乱でした。インフレで生活にこまった人々が暴動を起こしました。スリランカ進出企業は、もはやどうすることもできない状況でした。バングラデシュに進出している企業は、そのような状況に陥らないようセキュリティの向上、自家発電設備、リスク管理制度の見直し等、注視していく必要があります。

バングラデシュへの進出支援なら弊社にお問い合わせを。

2022年7月よりイギリスのロンドンで開催されたHyper Japanの夏イベントに参加してまいりました。

日本人経営の会社Cross Mediaさんがロンドンで主催するイベントです。

コロナの影響で、数年間開催されていなかったこともあり、イギリス中から日本好きが集まってきている印象です。

フランスのJapan Expoと並ぶ言わずと知れた、日本文化の祭典です。Japan Expoはヨーロッパ最大ですが、フランス語ができないと、しんどい場面もあり、英語でいけるHyper Japanは助かります。

チケットは、オンラインで事前に購入してください。スマホを会場入り口で、機械に読み込ませて入場です。会場を出るときも、チケットが必要です。

チケット購入はこちらです（リンクは消滅しております）。 

会場は毎回同じとは限りません。これまで多くはOlympiaという大きな会場でしたが、2022年はBattersea Park内の会場でした。Olympiaよりは小さいですが、それでもなかなかの規模感です。

電車でBattersea park駅で、下車します。既に、それっぽい方もいますので、ついていきます。それほど大きな駅ではありません。

駅にはトイレがありますが、男女ともに（ほぼ）一人用ですので、混雑時には待たされます。

駅を出るとコンビニがありますので、そこで水など買っていくことをお勧めします。会場では日本食など販売されてますが、行列がすごいのです。

みんな同じことを考えているようで、コンビニの棚はからっぽです。

2022年夏のHyper Japan会場につきました。実はこの公園の門から更に10分ほど歩きます。真夏日でしたので、水分補給をこまめにとりましょう。

Battersea park駅から歩くこと15分（ゆっくりなら、25分くらいです）ほど。Battersea park（公園）内に、2022年夏のHyper Japan会場はあります。

右側は、入場済の方対象のエリアですので、携帯のチケットを準備して、左の道をまっすぐ進みます。

会場入り口で、スマホのチケットを見せると、腕輪を付けてくれます。これがあれば、出入りが自由になります。

会場に入った瞬間から、かなりの熱気です。ここは大ホールで、多くの出展者が物販やらPRをしています。また、イベントステージも奥にあります。

盛り上がってるな、という感じにあふれています。ちなみに、マスクをしている人は皆無です。

着物をきたハローキティがお出迎えしてくれます。

天井には星の装飾が輝いています。空調も効いており、外の熱気から一先ず逃げることができます。この大ホールは、いわゆる商業ゾーンで、キャラクターグッズなど、工場で生産された製品を扱う会社・事業主が出展するエリアとなっています。

JR東日本は、液晶画面の自販機をPRしてました。イギリスに数台おいてもらっているようです。頑張ってほしいです。

S&B食品のカレーのPRブースです。実際に、食品を提供するのはなく、バッジを配ってました。美味しそうなポスターに惹かれて、集まった方もいたようですが、ちょっと残念がってました。

日本の大学は、主催者から誘われてブース出展しているとのこと。DMMのものと間違われるのだそうです。

Hyper Japanのリポートその2ではフリンジゾーンへ行ってみます。

フリンジゾーンは、日本でいうデザフェスのような位置づけのエリアで、クリエイター自身が出展するエリアとなります。

2022年8月よりドイツのデュッセルドルフで開催されたCaravan Salonに参加してまいりました。

言わずと知れた、キャンピングカーを主軸とした世界最大のアウトドア関連の展示会です。

通常の展示会は、2-3日ですが、キャラバンサロンは10日間開催で、連日、大盛況です。

キャンピングカーの展示会と思われがちですが、キャンピングカーとアウトドア、そして、ツーリズムの出展が多いです。

10ほどのホールがあり、キャンピングカーのエリア、高級キャンピングカーのエリア、電気自動車のエリア、アウトドア製品のエリア、旅行関連のエリア、関連IT機器のエリアなどに分かれています。きちんと見ようとすると、丸二日はかかりそうなほどです。

屋内にもちょっとしたイートインコーナーはありますが、本当にちょっとしかありません。野外には、屋台がいくつも軒を連ねており、大行列です。

テントや簡易ジャグジー、テント用の暖房床、サウナなどなど、ありとあらゆる会社が出展しています。アジア系の会社がいくつか、買い付けにきていたのも目につきました。

ツーリズムについては、うちの国でキャンプしませんかという訴求なのですが、ギリシャ、クロアチアなどヨーロッパの国だけでなく、オーストラリアからも展示がきてました。オーストラリアの代表の方が、セミナーエリアで、積極的にPRしていました。

2023年は、8月26日から9月3日までとなります（8月25日にプレビュー）。

チケットは、オンラインで事前に購入してください。スマホを会場入り口で、機械に読み込ませて入場です。会場を出るときも、チケットが必要です。

場所は、ドイツでの日本やアジア企業のメッカ、デュッセルドルフです。

会場へたどり着く駅はいくつかありますので混乱しますが、簡単なのは「Merkur/Spiel-Arena/Messe Nord」を目指します。

路面電車の駅なので、電車ではたどり着けませんから、注意です。デュッセルドルフの中央駅から路面電車が出ています。U78, U79です。正反対に行かないよう、運転手さんにのる前に確認すると良いでしょう。愛想のよい運転手さんもいますが、そっけない反応をする人が殆どですので、そこはめげずに聞いてください。

そして、いつもながらですが、海外での展示会参加の場合、ホテルはお早めにご予約されることをお勧めします。

展示会の開催期間は、大したことのないホテル、はたまたモーテルのような場所でも、平気で1名1泊、100ユーロ以上をつけてきます。人気展示会になってくると、街中のホテルが全て埋まっているということもあります。

半年前からとっても、既におそかったりです。おすすめは郊外というより、電車で30-40分で行ける次の都市でホテルを探すことです。

サウナ専用で製造することもできる木製のキャンピングカーメーカです。

展示会のついでに、街中を散策してみると、新たなアイデアも生まれると思います。例えば、インマーマンシュトラーセ（Immermann/インマーマン通り）は、日本食や日本関連のお店が多数あり、日本関連のお店がいくつか集まり（自称）リトルトーキョーと呼んでいます。ただ、本当にリトルで、訪問した日本人からは、「恥ずかしい」という意見もあります。

地元のラーメン屋は大盛況で、大行列です。日本人である我々では、わざわざ、食べようとも思わなくなるほどです。前を通った時、丁度、すいている時間があれば、是非、試してみて下さい。

ドイツのアウトドア展示会は、アウトドア製品を世界で売りたいと考える事業者は参加必須です。

日本の企業も、毎年巡礼している企業さんをいくつか知っています。ただ、実際に、本気で出展までしている企業さんを知りません。

10日間戦える貴重な展示会といえます。現地の企業でいくつか出展している企業の方に話をきくと、一人親方の知り合いは、3日目で既にかなり疲れてました。少なくとも3人態勢でブースに臨むことをお勧めします。

弊社はドイツでのCaravan Salon展示会出展支援をしています。ブースのデザインから出典手続きなど、全てをお任せいただけます。

また、これ以外にも、他のヨーロッパの展示会の支援もさせて頂いております。

お気軽にお声がけください。
