    • Clarkston High School

      1996 - 1997

      Clarkson High School was my starting point where I experienced the “joy and difficulty of communication and the importance of expressing myself.” It’s a virtue for Japanese people to be humble and not show emotions too much, but in America, this has sometimes led to misunderstandings.I was attracted by Americans’ rich expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and sadness and their gestures that were easy to understand.I was surprised to see a 16-year-old driving a car, who was the same… Show more Clarkson High School was my starting point where I experienced the “joy and difficulty of communication and the importance of expressing myself.” It’s a virtue for Japanese people to be humble and not show emotions too much, but in America, this has sometimes led to misunderstandings.I was attracted by Americans’ rich expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and sadness and their gestures that were easy to understand.I was surprised to see a 16-year-old driving a car, who was the same age as me at the time, and when there was no specified school uniform. Surprised also by the fact the school curriculum had elective classes. These situations were totally different from high schools in Japan. Students who made their own decisions in their livelihood looked mature from my eyes. Experiencing the values and diversity of the world firsthand has made an impact on my passion for my current job.

The course covered English literature, including Shakespeare and English linguistics, that studies the language in depth. Attending a comprehensive university turned out to be a great opportunity for me because I interacted with friends from different fields of specialized studies, such as law and industrial sociology. It made me develop interests in law and business as well. Kyoto, where the university locates, is a special place where I spent my youth days. The historic streets of Kyoto are my favorite.

      Travel Agent

      I worked closely with each customer and introduced the world’s amazing places and cultures to provide them with a trip of a lifetime. To mention how I worked with domestic customers and international business partners, I made preliminary contacts in English with overseas hotels and facilities to ensure a smooth trip.It was a perfect opportunity for me to essentially use my study abroad experience and improve my communication skills by providing explanations and negotiations.Online booking was not very popular back then, so I planned and arranged tours, suggested the best route for overseas air tickets, and scheduled original tours when no desired products were available.

      Voice over artist, master of ceremony

      ◆Voice-over artistThrough my bilingual voice works, I will actively support overseas companies to expand their markets into Japan and Japanese companies to expand their markets overseas. I’m proud to help anyone who wants to expand their sales channels for their products and services around the world.Achievements;Production companies for in-bound promotional movies - Major Chinese trading company - American dietary supplement company - CHUKAI TV Web (local Japanese T.V. station) - Promotional video for Tottori University (English narration) - Voice announcements for automatic thermometer (A large public facility) and more.◆MCI feel joy and worth of the fact that I can directly feel the reaction and share the special one-day event with the person in front of me. I’m also passionate about the once-in-a-lifetime pressure and accomplishment that I can experience only on-site. I personally like cruise ships, so I was very thrilled when I was in charge of the port call ceremony for the first time. At each port of call, Japan as a whole offers excellent hospitality, such as welcoming the passengers of cruise ships, and I loved that feeling. Meeting people from other countries I cannot usually meet is also the charm of this job. Show less
