About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work as a freelance translator, editor and writer and don't depend in only the economic activities

ABOUT ME

"Life cannot be summarized nor digitalized".

I'm not so dexterous to survive in this capitalism-oriented society, but I'm also eager to live my own life.

Some say I'm an "outsider"- it should be true, I'm always skeptic for what's going on in this world and try to think with my brain and have my philosophy.

I try to respect each sense toward many topics. I'm in the way to reach to "who I want to be" so I'd like to meet with many people beyond border, language and nations and learn a lot from you.

Through my many life experience, now I'm thinking to live independent from company (organization) in term of work-oriented capitalism. I always consider what the happiness is for me (of course it should be different among each) and how to live/what to live for.

My missions of life are contemporary as follows:

1. Establish my career in translation/interpretation field and earn money to live

2. Find the life partner to be live with

3. Travel and stay in many places all over the world and learn and reflect myself.

I'm interested in the things below;

- Linguistics (especially translation from Japanese to English, how Japanese specific cultures are translated into English

- learning languages; I've learned English, Russian, Polish, French, Esperanto, Chinese.

- Traveling around the world; I've visited almost all places in Japan and some foreign countries

- reading books (I like many kinds of books)

- my interest;how not to rely on only currency economics (how to deal with it), social capital (what is called "soft-power"), the states' system (politics, pension, taxation etc. I'd like to chase the "utopia" how each person be independent from and deal with state, company, money (economic system). I'm also interested in education system, entrepreneurship (business)

-introducing Japan's appearance and attractiveness to all over the world (especially sightseeing spots, Japanese specific culture)

-cooking and eating! :D

-agriculture (how to create foods to live)

PHILOSOPHY

-By chasing my own way, the future is opened; not to imitate others.

-Challenging doing something is one moment regret, but not challenging doing so is whole life regret (thus we should try to do.) ... this is a proverb I made.

-What you receive from other people are what you gave to other people.
- Life is shorter than we imagine, but longer than we imagine, also. (thus spare one's whole power into "now")

- Living now in full power creates one's brilliant future.
