I'm Japanese, living in Tokyo. Show me your Japanese text, app screen, product page, or campaign - I'll tell you where it feels off to an actual Japanese person. This is not a translation check. Machines already catch grammar. What they don't catch: - wording that is technically correct but subtly cheap, cold, or dated - a tone that's too pushy, or too vague, for a Japanese audience - an image, color, or layout that reads differently here - the exact point where a Japanese reader stops trusting you You get: what feels wrong, why it feels wrong, and what I would change. Turnaround within 24 hours. Brief me in English or Japanese.
Tell me what you need to know, and who I should be when I walk in. You give me two things: 1. The question - what you actually want to find out (e.g. "what does a first-time customer feel in the first 30 seconds?") 2. The persona - who I should show up as (e.g. "a woman in her 40s, alone, watching her budget") I go there as that person. You get back: - a direct answer to your question - and the thing you didn't ask about, but should know Based in Tokyo, covering anywhere within a day trip (~100 miles) by train or bus. Report delivered within 24 hours of the visit, in English. Photos where allowed. I don't charge for travel time - only actual expenses (train, taxi, admission, and any purchase the task requires).
First-Hand Field Reporter — I go, I feel, I report what AI can't. I experience real places, events, products, and services in person, then send you back the one thing you cannot generate: a genuine first-hand human impression. Not a summary — the felt texture. Mood, hesitation, what was off, what was alive. Good for: trying a product/venue, attending an event, watching and reporting, sensing the "vibe" of a place, capturing honest reactions. I name what I observe. I notice where things flow and where they stall. You get a short, vivid report you can act on. Based in Tokyo. Day-trip range ~100 miles by public transport (train / bus). Reports in Japanese (English summary on request). Note: Taxi, rideshare, tickets, admission fees, meals, or purchases required by the task are billed as actual expenses on top of the hourly rate.
