FIXER

SOLUTIONS

I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF "LOST IN TRANSLATION" BUSINESS PEOPLE IN JAPAN. THAT IS BECAUSE JAPAN IS SO UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE A SAVVY LOCAL GUIDE YOU CAN RELY ON. THAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR YOU TO GO EVERYTHING SMOOTH. "WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO" AS PROVERB SAYS,

HOWEVER, DO ALWAYS REMEMBER "WHEN IN JAPAN, DO LET THE FIXER DO"

STRATEGIC PLAN

FLEXIBILITY

EXPERIENCE

In many cases, I am required to "play it by ear" for my guests. Do not hesitate to tell me

what you need and want here. I will do my best to gather all the necessary things and information for you. In case you need to fly over to Japan urgently, I will TRY to schedule myself for you as long as I can. Anyway, Try to reach me. Some journalists call me from the airport saying ''Shin, I am flying over now. See you at my hotel in Tokyo..''

I honestly am used to those who are busy international travelers. Let me have you my assist on your project in all over Japan. It would be nice if you feel safe and comfortable working with a fixer here.

Most importantly, I am happy if your project in Japan would result in great success.

I have many years of experiences welcoming and working with foreign reporters, journalists, photographers, and filmmakers. I will be ready to help you start working as soon as you hit the ground. You will have me fixing your appointments, getting you access to anywhere you need, translating in both Japanese and English. One important thing is that you never regret about having me invloved with your project.

Let me help you　organize, secure　and manage resources to　make sure your

project is successful in this wonderland, Japan. To serve you better, deeper and well organized preparation is important for me. It would be great if you could contact me as earlier as possible and share your project outline with me. Discussion on Skype/Phone are available.

Sharing information in your mind as much as possible before your arrival would help me a lot how to approach what you want here which I think it is obviously one of my main responsibilities. I will do pre-production research. I will track suitable people or stories down for your interview and shooting through the local internet, library and all resources of my connections. And I will surly share all the necessary information on the project with you.

Once we are on a mutual agreement, I will make a suitable schedule and an arrangement for your project to make sure everything is set up before your arrival.

Do not hesitate to share your thoughts and opinion you may have on your project. I will honestly update and correct you if the information are wrong. Because through my experience, many stereotypes toward Japan might be very wrong.

PRIVILEGES

Free High Speed WIFI Accessible

It is unfortunate that WIFI (wireless network service) access is very incontinent to find and connect in Japan. And worse, it is rarely free as long as you do not find the free-spot. However, free high speed WIFI access is available wherever you go with me as I always carry a WIFI router for your convenience. Journalists love it!
