Your Japan office has leaders worth hearing from — and a comms team an ocean away. We film executive and expert interviews in Tokyo, conduct them in Japanese, and deliver English videos your team can publish as-is.
Half a day of your executive's time is all it takes: we handle the questions, the filming, the translation, and the edit. Most clients run this as a quarterly series — same setup, same look, a steady stream of thought leadership from Japan.
Built around your executive's schedule
- Questions approved in advance — bring your own or leave them to us; we prepare them in Japanese and English, and your comms team reviews once.
- Half-day shoot — Setup before your executive arrives; the interview itself typically runs under an hour, in Japanese, camera-ready lighting and sound included. Your team can listen in by live feed (Zoom/Teams).
- 48-hour bilingual transcript — Your team flags the moments that matter before the edit.
- English delivery — Subtitled video plus caption files, sized for your channels. Every quote in it is one your team already approved.
Selected work
