Translation, interpretation, and localization across Japanese, Chinese, and English.
Bidirectional Japanese ⇔ Chinese translation: contracts, business documents, websites, publications, video subtitles, plus on-site interpretation. We adapt to cultural context to deliver words that feel natural in the target language.
We help automate repetitive daily tasks such as data entry, tallying, and document preparation. We also build small custom apps for shops, classrooms, and households — booking managers, record books, memo tools and more. Privacy-first design that keeps your data in your hands. With the power of small apps and games, we make everyday life and work simpler and lighter. Questions at the "can you do this?" stage are always welcome. Estimates are free.
Starting from real problems, we design and build lightweight, AI-powered web applications and tools—learning-support systems, record-keeping and management tools, interactive content, and more—handling the full cycle from requirements to MVP development, launch, and operation. We bring the know-how built through our own products to giving shape to the small ideas our clients wish existed.
Is that task still living on paper and in Excel?
Managing reservations, keeping daily records, jotting down inventory, maintaining a customer list — work that never justified a full-scale system, yet reliably eats into your day. We handcraft tools for exactly these "small troubles," one at a time.

Documents not listed above are quoted individually. Longer contracts, business plans, and similar documents are charged by source character count under the plans above.
Where an authority overseas requires proof that the translation is accurate, we offer three formats: a translation certificate, notarised signature certification, or a sworn affidavit — with the notary procedure and apostille handled in one process. Which one you need depends on the receiving authority.

The same sentence: a machine just swaps words, while a person reads tone, distance, and what goes unsaid.
お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、ご確認いただけますでしょうか。
MT gives a stiff, abrupt "百忙之中很抱歉，能确认一下吗？" — the layered honorifics collapse into a flat request.
百忙之中打扰了，烦请您拨冗过目确认。
Layered Japanese honorifics get flattened by machine translation into something blunt.
本件につきましては、社内で前向きに検討させていただきます。
Rendered literally as "we will actively look into it," which a Chinese client may read as near-agreement — yet in Japanese business it is often just a polite cushion, not a yes.
关于此事，我们会在公司内部认真研究。〔译者提示：此为日方常见礼貌措辞，不等于已同意，建议后续再确认。〕
A polite Japanese hedge that may not mean agreement — context matters.
よろしくお願いします。
Always the same "请多多关照." Yet the phrase shifts with context — a request, a greeting, hope for cooperation, an email sign-off — and MT renders it identically every time.
按场景分别译作"那就拜托您了""今后还请多指教""有劳了"等，而非千篇一律。
One Japanese phrase whose meaning shifts entirely with context — MT renders it the same every time.
