You Might Be Wondering…

Are there specific cultural nuances in japanese presentations that aren't covered in the guide.

Yes, there are several cultural nuances to be aware of in Japanese presentations. For example, it’s important to use respectful language (keigo) when addressing superiors or clients. Additionally, indirect and modest language is often preferred, and avoiding direct expressions can be seen as more polite.

What are some common challenges non-native speakers face when giving presentations in Japanese, and how can they overcome them?

Non-native speakers may face challenges with pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of cultural nuances. To overcome these challenges, it’s crucial to practice speaking, seek feedback, and immerse oneself in the language and culture. Taking language courses and working with a language coach can also be beneficial.

Could you offer tips for incorporating visual aids effectively into a Japanese presentation?

When using visual aids in a Japanese presentation, keep them simple and uncluttered. Use visuals to complement your spoken words, not replace them. Ensure that any text on slides is in Japanese, and provide context for any images or charts. Rehearse your presentation with the visuals to ensure smooth integration.

How important are body language and non-verbal communication in Japanese presentations?

Body language and non-verbal communication are highly important in Japanese presentations. Maintaining good eye contact, bowing as a sign of respect, and using appropriate gestures can enhance your communication. Be aware of your posture and facial expressions to convey sincerity and attentiveness.

What are some advanced-level presentation phrases for those looking to take their Japanese presentation skills to the next level?

Advanced presenters can incorporate more complex language structures and idiomatic expressions. They may also use rhetorical devices and storytelling techniques to engage the audience. Additionally, mastering advanced-level phrases for agreement, disagreement, and persuasion is beneficial in conveying a more nuanced message in Japanese presentations.

How to write a presentation in japanese.

スピーチ – Presentation plays an important part in many subjects. In this post, Learn Japanese Daily will introduce to you the lesson: How to write a presentation in Japanese.

• 1 About スピーチ – Presentation
• 2.1 The four-sections structure 起承転結 (Introduction – Development – Turn – Conclusion)
• 2.2 The three-sections structure 結起承 (Conclusion – Introduction – Development)
• 2.3 The structure PREP
• 3.1 Introduction – 序論
• 3.2 Body – 本文
• 3.3 Conclusion – 結論

About スピーチ – Presentation

There are many forms of presentation for students in Japanese language schools, Senmon, universities in Japan. For example: short presentation, long presentation, presentation about research topics, group presentation, etc.

A simple presentation doesn’t require much in time or content. Especially, it is not necessary to have documents and illustrations in that presentation. It is called 一分間スピーチ (Ippunkan supiichi – 1 minute presentation), 三分間スピーチ (Sanpunkan supiichi – 3 minutes presentation), or 五分間スピーチ (Gofunkan supiichi – 5 minutes presentation), etc.

On the contrary, if you have to present a research topic, a graduate project, or a group discussion, the presentation requires a higher level of detail as well as the length of its content, the documents and illustrations.

The structure of a presentation – スピーチ

Regardless of the form, a good presentation includes the following sections: 序論 (Joron) – Introduction, 本文 (Honbun) – Body and 結論 (Ketsuron) – Conclusion.

You don’t need to apply this three-sections structure to your presentation all the time. You can also use the four-sections structure 起承転結 (Introduction – Development – Turn – Conclusion), the three-sections structure 結起承 (Conclusion – Introduction – Development), or the PREP structure.

The four-sections structure 起承転結 (Introduction – Development – Turn – Conclusion)

Introduction – 起: Introducing and attracting the listeners.

Development – 承: Explaining the content in detail.

Turn – 転: Emphasizing key points.

Conclusion – 結: Giving the conclusion. Clarifying the problem.

The three-sections structure 結起承 (Conclusion – Introduction – Development)

Conclusion – 結: Giving the conclusion first.

Introduction – 起: Getting to the point.

Development – 承: Giving arguments, explaining in detail.

The structure PREP

P = Point: Giving the conclusion (結論 – ketsuron)

R = Reason: Giving the reasons, bases（理由 – riyuu、根拠 – konkyo）

E = Example: Giving examples（事例 – jirei、具体例 – gutairei）

P = Point: Repeating the conclusion again（結論を繰り返す – ketsuron wo kurikaesu）

In this post, Learn Japanese Daily will show you the way of writing a presentation in the three-sections structure 序論 – 本文 – 結論. It is the most common and general structure of a presentation. You can easily apply it to your presentations, especially for short presentations.

Introduction – 序論

This is a very important part. Because it is considered as an introduction that opens the entire content of your presentation. In this section, you need to clarify the topic of your presentation and attract the attention of the listeners. The appropriate length of the introduction section is about 100 words for a short presentation.

Presentation topic: Talk about a failure in the past.

おはようございます。〇〇です。 Ohayou gozaimasu. … desu. Good morning everyone. I am…

皆さんは、仕事などで失敗をした経験はないでしょうか。1つや2つはパッと思い浮かんだのではないでしょうか。 Minasan wa, shigoto nado de shippai wo shita keiken wa nai deshou ka. Hitotsu ya futatsu wa patto omoi ukanda no dewanai deshou ka. Have you ever made a mistake at work? There must be one or two things that have come to your mind, right?

私には、数えきれないほどの失敗があります。その失敗の中でも、一番最初に苦しい失敗をしたのは、高校入試でした。 Watashi niwa, kazoe kirenai hodo no shippai ga arimasu. Sono shippai no naka demo, ichiban saisho ni kurushii shippai wo shita no wa, koukou nyuushi deshita. For me, I have so many failures that I can’t count. Among those failures, the most painful first failure was the high school entrance exam.

Body – 本文

This is the body of the presentation. You need to focus on talking about what you want to convey to the listeners. You should emphasize the key points. Giving arguments and reasons based on your experience. The appropriate length of this section is about 200 ~ 300 words for a short presentation.

当時、私の成績で受かるか受からないかギリギリの高校を受験しました。 Touji, watashi no seiseki de ukaru ka ukaranai ka girigiri no koukou wo juken shimashita. At that time, my grade is just enough to take the high school exam.

塾の先生も、学校の先生も、1つ下のレベルの学校を勧めてくれていたのですが、今から思えば、少し意地になっていたのだと思います。 Juku no sensei mo, gakkou no sensei mo, hitotsu-ka no reberu no gakkou wo susumete kurete ita nodesuga, ima kara omoeba, sukoshi iji ni natte ita noda to omoimasu. Both the cram school teachers and the school teachers recommended a school with a lower level, but now when thinking about that, I think I was a bit stubborn.

どうしてもその高校を受ける、と反対を押し切って受験したのです。結果は不合格でした。 Doushitemo sono koukou wo ukeru, to hantai wo oshikitte juken shita no desu. Kekka wa fugoukaku deshita. Despite all that, I went against opposition and took the exam to get into that school. As a result, I failed.

やっぱり先生方の言う通り、1つ下のレベルの学校を受験しておけば良かったかもしれないと後悔もしました。 Yappari senseigata no iu toori, hitotsu shita no reberu no gakkou wo juken shite okeba yokatta kamo shirenai to koukai mo shimashita. After all, as the teachers said, I regretted that if I had taken the exam to get into a lower level school, the result would have been better.

受験勉強を応援してくれていた両親にも申し訳がなくて、どういう顔をしたらいいかわかりませんでした。 Juken benkyou wo ouen shite kurete ita ryoushin ni mo moushiwake ga nakute, douiu kao wo shitara ii ka wakarimasen deshita. I felt sorry for my parents, they supported me in studying for the entrance exam, so I didn’t know how to face them.

そんな時に、「やる価値のあることは、失敗したとしても価値がある」と父がふと私に言ったのです。 Son’na toki ni, “yaru kachi no aru koto wa, shippaishita to shite mo kachigaaru” to chichi ga futo watashi ni itta no desu. At that time, my father told me: “Something worth doing is worth even if you fail”.

何のことかわかりませんでしたが、外国のことわざだったそうです。 Nani no koto ka wakarimasen deshita ga, gaikoku no kotowazadatta soudesu. I didn’t understand it, but it seems to be a foreign idiom.

その時は意味が分かりませんでしたが、父がやる価値があったと言ってくれたことに感謝をしたのを覚えています。 Sonotoki wa imi ga wakarimasen deshita ga, chichi ga yaru kachi ga atta to itte kureta koto ni kansha wo shita no wo oboete imasu. At that time, I didn’t understand its meaning, but I thanked my father for saying that it was worth doing.

結局は、希望の高校には行けなかったのですが、大学受験では失敗しないように、高校受験の時以上に準備をしました。 Kekkyoku wa, kibou no koukou ni wa ikenakatta nodesuga, daigaku jukende wa shippai shinai you ni, koukou juken no toki ijou ni junbi wo shimashita. In the end, I couldn’t go to the high school I wanted, but I made more preparations than at the high school entrance exam in order not to fail at the university entrance exam.

結果的に、大学は第一志望の大学に入学することができました。 Kekka-teki ni, daigaku wa daiichishibou no daigaku ni nyuugaku suru koto ga dekimashita. As a result, I could pass the university of the first choice.

高校受験を失敗した時は、人生が終わったように感じましたが、あの時の失敗がバネになって今の自分があるのだと思います。 Koukou juken wo shippai shita toki wa, jinsei ga owatta you ni kanjimashita ga, ano toki no shippai ga bane ni natte ima no jibun ga aru noda to omoimasu. When failing the high school entrance exam, I felt that my life was over, but I think that failure has become a spring to help me be myself of today.

Conclusion – 結論

This is the end of the content. Through what was introduced in the introduction section, and the detailed explanation in the body of the presentation, you should briefly talk about your thoughts and reaffirm the main message. The appropriate length of this section is about 300 ~ 450 words.

仕事においても、同じことが言えると思います。失敗して、色んな人にご迷惑をかけてしまうのは申し訳ないことだと思います。 Shigoto ni oite mo, onaji koto ga ieru to omoimasu. Shippai shite, iron’na hito ni gomeiwaku wo kakete shimau no wa moushi wakenai kotoda to omoimasu. I can say it is the same when I am at work. I feel sorry when I fail and cause trouble for many people.

でも、その失敗をそのままにせずに、次回への対策へ繋げるバネにして取り組んでいこうと思っています。ありがとうございました。 Demo, sono shippai wo sonomama ni sezu ni, jikai e no taisaku e tsunageru bane ni shite torikunde ikou to omotte imasu. Arigatou gozaimashita. However, instead of leaving that failure as it is, I will turn it into a spring so I can find a solution for the next time. Thank you very much.

How to Prepare for a Business Presentation in Japanese

5月 11, 2021

In japanese, コメントはまだありません.

You just started your job in Japan, and it’s time for your first presentation – all in Japanese. Even if you don’t have trouble speaking in front of people in general or have had some practice, this can be quite a challenge. In this article, we give you some tips for acing your presentations right off the bat.

Presentation structure and style

For structure and style, presentation rules and guidelines are virtually the same as outside of Japan – there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

A structure for a presentation is called 構成 こうせい in Japanese. There are multiple ways for structuring a presentation, such as…

• – Introduction – Main Part – Conclusion ( 序論 じょろん ・ 本論 ほんろん ・ 結論 けつろん )
• – PREP (Point 結論 けつろん – Reason 理由 りゆう – Example 例 れい ) – Point 結論 けつろん )
• – DESC (Describe 説明 せつめい – Express 表現 ひょうげん – Suggest 提案 ていあん – Consequence 結果 けっか )

Pick a structure that suits your topic and go from there. In business settings, it’s common to start with the conclusion ( 結論 けつろん ファースト), PREP style.

As for style, keep to the basics. Don’t put too much text on the slides, add graphs and pictures to visualize information, use color sparingly and with purpose … you know the drill.

Making your presentation “Japan-proof”

Aside from the universal basics, there are some points where you have to provide for cultural differences. Here are our tips.

Check with a native Japanese beforehand

The last thing you want to do is miss the topic or point of your presentation. To eliminate the risks of miscommunication, check with a Japanese senpai or your boss beforehand (ideally, the person will also be attending the meeting and is “in the know”).

Show them the structure of your presentation and explain what you want to talk about. If you’ve already made some slides, you can also ask them to do a quick Japanese check (non-standard expressions, typos). I recommend this even for people who are confident in their Japanese ability! When I got my first job in Japan, I had already passed N1 but still managed to botch some presentations because of bad preparation and lack of checks.

When you’re still new and don’t really know your co-workers, it can be hard to work up the courage to ask for advice. But there’s no need to be afraid. Most companies that hire foreigners are aware of the language barrier and are willing to assist. If you’ve entered the company as a fresh graduate (新卒), the company fully expects you to not know stuff. In your first and second year, asking for help frequently is likely to leave a positive impression than a negative one.

Make it easier for people to ask questions

Japanese people tend to be less aggressive with feedback and questioning. If you just end your presentation with “any questions?”, you run the risk of filling the room with awkward silence. To prevent this, transition into the Q&A section in a way that lowers the hurdle for asking questions. For example…

Keep your humor subtle

A typical “western” thing to do is trying to brighten up the mood and “break the ice” with some jokes. When you’re holding a presentation in Japanese, you want to be careful with this. Japanese office and business culture is rather formal, certainly more so than that of English-speaking countries.

It’s still OK to use some humor here and there. That being said, it’s best to keep it subtle and use it even more sparingly than you would when holding a presentation in English. My personal recommendation is some light Japanese wordplay, no more than 1-2 times per presentation. It lightens up the mood and is an easy way to rouse interest (“did that foreigner just make a joke in Japanese?”).

Vocabulary for your presentation

Just like with presentations anywhere else in the world, your focus should be on delivering information in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. When in doubt, fall back on general-purpose Teineigo (です・ます-Forms) instead of twisting your tongue with Keigo monstrosities.

Below, you can find some vocabulary and phrases commonly used in presentations.

Improving step by step

I still remember the uneasiness and sweat running down my neck that I felt during my first few “professional” presentations. Preparation is important, but in the end, it’s completely natural to stumble a bit at first. Your Japanese coworkers won’t expect a perfect performance on the first try. Keep asking for advice and learn from your mistakes, and before long presenting something in Japanese will become a routine task.

If you don’t like being thrown into cold water, you can train your presentation skills at a language school. Linguage Japanese Language School specializes in Japanese language education for people whose goal is to work in Japan. Located in central Shinjuku, it’s the ideal place to prepare for work in Japan.

What is Japanese Style Presentation?

The Dynamite Presentation that Backfired

Focus on the relationship, japanese frugality, typical japanese presentations, persuasive points, send your materials to japan in advance, assigned contact person.

In Japan a dynamite presentation just might backfire. As an interpreter, I have been in many sales presentations. I recall this one meeting between a small American firm and a large Japanese multinational. By American standards, the presentation was sensational. There was lots of white space, lots of photographs, and even a short video clip showing all the happy employees. Unfortunately, it was pretty clear that this company did not have anyone on staff with the skills to put together such a polished presentation. When the lights went up, out of the corner of my eye I could see the Japanese exchanging dismayed glances. Their eyes said, “Are we going to be paying for this? Are they going to be spending money on this kind of thing? Are they always going to puff themselves up?” To the Japanese, if a vendor doesn’t control their own costs, how can they control the cost to the customer?

Japanese business is much more personal than in the West. If you are going to spend a little extra to sell to the Japanese, use it for relationship-building-- entertaining them, and in simply having your staff spend time with them and get to know them. The Japanese are less impressed with a good-looking PowerPoint presentation than with a prospective vendor who listens to their needs and concerns. Put that extra polish into the human side of the sale, not in glossy sales materials.

Japanese companies do not spend money on technology just for the sake of having the latest thing.  If you have ever visited a Japanese office you will see some of the workers using computers that we would consider obsolete. Why invest in a fancy computer for someone whose job basically requires word processing? If the Japanese are going to invest in high tech tools, it will be on the manufacturing floor rather than in the office. Likewise why be over the top with a dazzling presentation?

For many Japanese companies here are some features they share in common.  Firstly, there is very little white space except on the title page. The Japanese still print out a good many presentations. Therefore, they try to limit the amount of paper used. For in-house presentations, the ideal format is called the A3 report. Everything is condensed onto a piece of paper roughly 11” X 17”. I am are not suggesting that you do this for a sales presentation, but be aware that the Japanese are not impressed by too much white space.

Japanese like to take a holistic view of a process, and like to see slides that show how all the pieces fit together. They would like to see the table of contents. They would like to see charts of data. It is a good idea to have visuals of processes, preferably showing timelines and progression over time, as in Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. A Japanese presentation will often have thumbnails of the entire process on the top of each slide, to show where one step fits into the entire process.

The Japanese would like to know the age of your company and its track record. The longer the company has been in business the better. If your employees have long terms of service, point it out. This shows stability and profitability over time. Let them know the names of your big customers, especially well known ones and Japanese companies. This is the time to display all of your awards and certifications -- ISO, “Vendor of the Year” from major customers, green awards, etc. Let those certificates advertise your achievements. The Japanese are suspicious of the hard sell. Rather than telling them how great you are, show yourself to be open to adapting to their preferences. Spend your time together listening to them rather than blowing your own horn.

Everything presented must be backed up by data. Make sure that the person who is presenting understands the details. Do not be in the position of saying, “I’m sorry. I really don’t know what this slide is about.” There must be no spelling errors. And you can count on Japanese customers to check all of the calculations and point out discrepancies. Make sure you have your sales “story” and your team on the same page before you start your meeting.

You get no extra points for working on the presentation up to the very minute the meeting starts, and springing it on the Japanese with a flourish. The less new information they have to deal with on the spot, the better. This kind of preliminary process is part of “nemawashi.” Many people on the Japan side will need to digest the presentation and prepare for the meeting, not just the individuals you meet. The more opportunity you give them to discuss things in advance the more likely you are to have productive discussions during your meeting. There should be no surprises, even good ones.

One of the most important things the Japanese look for in a vendor is a consistent contact person who is available and reliable, and who is in it for the long-term. Choose this person carefully.  Patience, persistence and tolerance are important. Knowing Japanese is a plus, but not absolutely necessary. Ideally, this person should already have a good track record of positive experience with Japanese. I stress positive interaction with the Japanese. This is not a position for an “old Japan hand.” This is not for the person who is cynical or thinks they have had a bad experience with the Japanese and the company will too.

Naturally, I recommend having your contact person get in-depth intercultural training in advance of approaching the Japanese if at all possible. When you think of all the time, effort and money that goes into attracting new customers, spending a day or two learning what makes those prospects tick seems like a small price to pay. Investing in the human side of your sales efforts will be much more effective than polishing a dynamite presentation.

Giving a presentation in Japan? Think about sending it in advance

In previous articles in this series I have given a couple of tips regarding making presentations and proposals to Japanese customers or colleagues. One was on the usefulness of “visualisation” – trying to capture what you are saying in graphics. The other point I made was that presenting or pitching proposals in a Japanese context is like a maths exam – you have to show your working out, not just the conclusion, to get full marks.

The third piece of advice I have about presentations and pitches, especially if you are going to do them in English, is to send the documents in advance. You may think this detracts from the appeal of a presentation, but if your audience includes people who are not comfortable with English, prefer group based decision making and don’t like taking risks, then you are likely to be greeted by deafening silence when you ask for their go-ahead or if there are any questions. I’m not saying all Japanese corporate people fit this description but I have heard enough stories to suggest that it is worth making the effort to send your presentation ahead, if you can.

It may also be a good idea to send more than the slides. One group of British research scientists told me how when they first had a joint meeting with their Japanese counterparts, they presented their results using all the slideware tricks to make it as stimulating as possible. But when they asked for questions, their Japanese colleagues simply sat there – nodding, but silent.

The next time they met, the British scientists sent their Japanese colleagues not just the slides but also all the data, two weeks in advance. This time, when they asked for questions, everybody’s hand shot up. The Japanese scientists had not only been able to translate any of the English they did not understand, but probably also crunched the data themselves and, I suspect, had a discussion, maybe even allocating questions to each other.

I told this story to a rueful European marketing director of a Japanese electronics company the other day. He had told me that on his appointment, he was invited to Japan to meet with the President of the company. Being a marketing director he of course put together a slide presentation on his strategy for Europe. When he arrived at the Tokyo headquarters for his meeting, he was asked to wait, as the President was with a customer. Finally, 45 minutes late, he went in to see the President.

The President apologized profusely for keeping him waiting and then said unfortunately another customer was coming in 15 minutes. “We ended up drinking tea and talking about the weather and I never showed my presentation” the marketing director told me. If he had sent the presentation in advance, it probably would have been picked up by the President’s executive assistant, who would have translated it, summarised it and even suggested questions for the President to ask. At least then they could have talked about more than the weather.

HOW TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN JAPANESE AND WHAT IS JIKOSHOKAI

Self-presentation in japanese, what to do if they ask you your name in japanese or start introducing themselves to you, how to use honorifics in japanese | introduce yourself in japanese, how to say your nationality in japanese, my country in japanese | introduce yourself in japanese, how to say your profession or job in japanese, professions in japanese, professions in japanese, summary table with professions in japanese, how to say your hobbies in japanese, interactive exercises japanese hobbies, japanese presentation review: examples.

We are going to try to put the most common and essential Japanese phrases for introduce yourself in japanese, whether you are studying there or if you are traveling to Japan for a few days, they will be useful (with examples).

In Japan, the set of greetings is called  jikoshokai  (自己紹介)

First of all, there are some things that you have to know and respect systematically whenever you are introduced to someone, it is difficult to get used to for someone who is not from there, especially if you are affectionate:

• Avoid all physical contact with the person we are introduced to: no handshakes, kisses or hugs.
• To make a nod of the head to greet the interlocutor.
• Say hajimemashite (delighted) to start the conversation.
• Responding “yoroshiku onegaishimasu” (“I place myself in your hands”) after an oral exchange.
• Slightly bow your head to excuse yourself and say sumimasen .

*It can be produced in several ways: Introducing yourself or someone asking your name. Let’s look at the two examples:

• Hajimemashite (はじめまして) , could be translated as enchanted, although it is not literal. The most literal translation of the term hajimemashite would be beginning , as it comes from the verb hajimeru which means to begin .

When this word is pronounced, the head should be lowered slightly.

• Watashi wa…. here your name…….. desu ( 私は… here your name….です ) the pronoun watashi 私 should be written in Kanji, especially if it is a formal letter, although if you are a foreigner and don’t know much, the Japanese don’t mind if we write everything in hiragana.

TO SAY YOUR NAME IN JAPANESE YOU MUST SAY IT IN JAPANESE MODE , AND IF YOU WANT TO WRITE IT USE KATAKANA, SEE THIS ARTICLE.

• Yoroshiku onegai shimasu» (よろしくおねがいします) It is not possible to translate this phrase into English, but this expression is generic and can be used on numerous occasions.

For example, before starting a business meeting in a company: in this case, the expression would be used to thank the audience for their attendance, the people who participate, etc.

• o namae wa nan desu ka (おなまえはなんですか) , What is your name?, they use it to ask for your name, but you can also use it to ask for theirs.
• kochira koso yoroshiku onegaishimasu (こちらこそよろしくお願いします) , the person who has started the conversation will say yoroshiku onegaishimasu, and you should reply with this phrase of kochira koso yoroshiku onegaishimasu, (something like equally) with this, you express the reciprocity of feelings when meeting someone, and express the wish for more encounters.

Regarding titles to address other people, and not to introduce oneself , in Japanese there are several:

• San : When you want to be respectful
• Sama : used in formal situations (letters, e-mails to an important person, etc.)
• Kun : is used in manager-employee relationships for people who know each other well.
• Chan : is used for children.
• Sensei : is used for qualified professions, such as teacher, lawyer, doctor, etc.

BEST TO CHECK OUT THIS EXTENSIVE ARTICLE ON JAPANESE HONORIFICS TO FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THEM.

After calling someone by their surname, it is necessary to add the locution san. This is because in Japanese culture, it is rude to call someone only by their last name, even if you are a foreigner.

Well now that you know how to start a conversation ( Hajimemashite ), end it by thanking the speaker (“yoroshiku onegaishimasu”) and say your first and last name, now let’s learn expressions of other topics. You can learn how to say where you live, your nationality, your profession, your age, your hobbies, etc.

In my case, I am Spanish so it would be:

• ( Watashi wa Supeinjin desu) 私はスペイン語です (I am Spanish)

1.First, you have to write the name of the country in Japanese. 2.We will add the kanji 人 hito (person). When we refer to nationalities it is read as ”Jin”. 3.Examples of other nationalities 国籍:

• Mexico: メ キ シ コ人 MekishikoJin
• German: ドイツ人  Doitsujin
• American: アメリカ人  Amerikajin
• English: イギリス人  Igirisujin
• Chinese: 中国人  Chūgokujin
• French: フランス語 F uransujin
• Italian: イタリア人  Itariajin

PARA VER TODAS LAS NACIONALIDADES Y PAÍSES EN JAPONÉS PINCHA AQUÍ

• Anata no shigoto wa nanidesu ka あなたの仕事は何ですか what is your job?
• Shumi ha ____ desu(は ____ です) my hobby is

You can also use “Suki desu” + liking. It translates as “I like…”

Examples of hobbies:

• Cinema , えいが , Eiga
• Dance , だんす, Dansu
• Music , おんがく, Ongaku
• Singing , うた, Uta
• Read , どくしょ, Dokusho
• Walk , さんぽ, Sanpo
• The sport , すぽうつ, Supôtsu
• Soccer , さっかあ, Sakkâ
• Ski , すきい, Sukî
• Swimming , すいえい, Suiei
• Gardening , えんげい, Engei
• Video games ビデオゲーム video game (geemu)
• Anime アニメ (anime)

You can add the phrase «私の主な趣味は » («my main interest is…here you put your main hobby…..»).

Hajimemashite.  (Pleased to meet you) Watashi wa Taisu desu.  (I am Thaïs) Watashi wa san jussai desu.  (I am 30 years old) Supein ni sunde imasu.  (I live in Spain) Gakusei desu.  (I am a student) Suki desu anime.  (I like anime) Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.  (It is an honor to meet you).

Konichiwa can be added at the beginning of the presentation to say Hello .

As in some other languages, the form of greeting varies depending on the time of day.

In Japanese, konichiwa means hello , but also good afternoon .

But if it is in the morning, it is better to say ohayô gozaimasu (more polite form) which corresponds to “good morning”, if it is in the afternoon-evening, konbawa means “good night”, but if you are going to go to bed immediately, you will say oyasumi nasai which means in a non-literal way “I’m going to sleep good night”.

About Rakuten Medical, Inc. Rakuten Medical, Inc. is a global biotechnology company developing and commercializing precision, cell targeting therapies based on its proprietary Alluminox™ platform, which, in pre-clinical studies, has been shown to induce rapid and selective cell killing and tumor necrosis. Alluminox therapies have not yet been approved outside of Japan. Rakuten Medical is committed to its mission to conquer cancer by delivering its innovative treatments as quickly as possible to as many patients as possible all over the world. The company has offices in 5 countries/regions, including the United States, where it is headquartered, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland and India. For more information, visit www.rakuten-med.com .

About Alluminox™ platform The Alluminox™ platform is an investigational technology platform based on a cancer therapy called photoimmunotherapy, which was developed by Dr.   Hisataka Kobayashi   and team from the National Cancer Institute in   the United States. Rakuten Medical is developing the Alluminox platform as a technology consisting of a drug, device, and other related components. The drug component of the platform consists of a targeting moiety conjugated with one or more dyes leading to selective cell surface binding.   The device component consists of a light source that locally illuminates the targeted cells with light to transiently activate the drug.   Pre-clinical data have shown that this activation elicits rapid and selective necrosis of targeted cells through a biophysical process that compromises the membrane integrity of the targeted cells. Therapies developed on the Alluminox platform may also result in local and systemic innate and adaptive immune activation due to immunogenic cell death of the targeted cancer cells and/or the removal of targeted immunosuppressive cells within the tumor microenvironment. Outside of   Japan, Alluminox therapies have not yet been approved by any regulatory authority.

About ASP-1929 Rakuten Medical’s first pipeline drug developed on its Alluminox™ platform is ASP-1929, an antibody-dye conjugate comprised of the antibody cetuximab and IRDye® 700DX, a light activatable dye. ASP-1929 binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a cancer antigen expressed in multiple types of solid tumors, including head and neck, breast, lung, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancers. After binding to cancer cells, ASP-1929 is locally activated by illumination with red light (690 nm), emitted by a laser device system to produce a photochemical reaction. This reaction is believed to cause damage to the membrane of cancer cells, leading to selective necrosis of cancer cells. ASP-1929 has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2018, and is currently under investigation in a global Phase 3 clinical trial for recurrent head and neck cancer. In Japan, ASP-1929 received marketing approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare for unresectable locally advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer in September 2020, under the Sakigake Designation System and the Conditional Early Approval System. Outside of Japan, ASP-1929 has not yet been approved by any regulatory authority.

In 2012, my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was ready to do anything for him to be cured. With that sole purpose, I read many scientific papers from all over the world, and I met and talked with numerous experts in the field. How could I cure my father’s cancer? I searched every single possibility available.

That is when I found out about photoimmunotherapy that was only at an early stage of research. Although I had many doubts about this completely new approach, desperate for a miracle, I immediately went to meet the researcher.

Everyone was still doubtful at that stage. But the more I heard about this research, the more it made sense. 

I instinctively thought, “This is it.” It was the same feeling I got as when I grasped that the internet would change the world forever. Somehow, wishing to save my father, I immediately made up my mind to support the research personally to speed it up.

Unfortunately, we didn’t make it in time to save my father. But I decided to continue my support. My father who was as an economist always said, “One important mission of corporations is to contribute to humanity.”

Left behind, I resolved to provide this latest treatment to as many people as possible. It will surely be a path fraught with difficulties. But right at this moment there are many who are suffering from cancer, many who wish to save the lives of their loved ones, and I know exactly how they feel.

To provide this treatment as soon as possible, to bring this treatment to as many people as possible, I will not fail to support this research from now on.

Came here with my girlfriends during soft opening as they love tempura. So yum! I must say we all enjoyed the food immensely and all agreed the tempura was on a whole different level...very delicate and refined. Lightly batter, not oily, great quality ingredients. My favorites were the scallops, uni and crab, and shrimp, but honestly, every piece was so yummy! The tsuyu is made fresh daily so it didn't over power the natural freshness of each piece. On the side there were also salt and seaweed salt if you prefer. We were served around 17 courses for the omakase ($160/head). It's no wonder Chef Chikano earned a Michelin-star for his tempura. Definitely a must try! Love it here! Aside from the food, I also love the charm of the restaurant, intimate and warm. The staff greeted us very warmly and introduced each dish...overall it was an amazing experience!

See all photos from Vivyan L. for Tempura Ichika

$160 + 18% service, omakase only, edomae tempura experience from a NYC experienced Michelin starred chef. Should you go? 1. The restaurant's grand opening was the start of May 2024. There are growing pains. - Very limited reservations available. (Even if online reservations indicate two seatings (17:30 / 19:30), only half the restaurant is full at any time). - Cooking for just three parties (seven diners), timing is off. It takes 30 seconds to eat a piece of tempura, wait 60 more, fry the next piece. Instead the chef waited minutes between each piece resulting in a 2.5hr meal instead of the 1.5 allotted for two seatings a night. 2. BYOB and you better. Sake or wine is absolutely necessary in a tempura centric meal. They will provide all the glassware. 3. Someone who is not a seasoned restaurant operator made decisions for the restaurant. - Tea cups are unfinished trapping dish soap in it and making the hojicha taste like chemicals. - The chef is set back from the diners. You can't really watch him cook which is the purpose of going to a tempura counter. It creates a cold, standoffish feel. - Muzak? High end Japanese restaurants do not play music to focus the diner's attention on the food and chef. Now, the food. Good not great. Lacks seasonality and locally sourced ingredients. Sashimi unevenly cut (one piece a slice, the other a cube of poke), fish scale in the chazuke and a piece of cartilage in the snow crab. Use of MSG. Over cooked Okinawa sweet potato tempura. Overcooked shrimp because of all the time fussing over having it stand properly before being presented to the diner. That said, the fry on the enoki mushrooms, stellar. Ethereally crisp on the outside, retaining texture and moisture on the inside. Equally good, the kakiage. Hiragai, a pen shell the length of your forearm, is cut and sat on a bed of sweet onions before being fried. The sweet crisp onions adds to the sweet, springy pieces of hiragai. Perfect cook despite two different ingredients. Smart use of intermezzo throughout to make up for the lack of alcohol (which would do a better job at keeping the oil from overpowering the meal). Finally, a highlight of the meal, the chazuke. The very gentle dashi broth that gently cooked the sesame marinated snapper a perfect end. Do add the wasabi for the perfect flavor. Service is a work in progress. Japanese. Attentive. Not polished yet. Parking in lot behind the building. Online reservations only. They do not answer their phone. Reservations required. BYOB. So, would I go again? Maybe after the restaurant has time to work out the kinks and obtain their much needed liquor license. A three star experience ATM, but four stars for its potential.

I met this cute Japanese girl in my yoga class and finally worked up the courage to ask her out. I took her to Ichika, and I'm so glad I did. Ichika offers an exceptional tempura dining experience with its impeccably light and crispy batter, perfectly cooked seafood, and incredibly fresh vegetables. You won't find anything this good anywhere else in town. It's the real deal. My Japanese date couldn't stop raving about the place. The presentation was soooo elegant, and the flavors were expertly balanced. The cozy ambiance of this smallish restaurant is amazing and adds to the overall dining pleasure. If you like tempura (and honestly, who doesn't?) you'll love this place. I'm already dying to go back.

2024 Kentucky Derby results, winner: Mystik Dan takes 150th Run for the Roses by a nose in epic photo finish

Trainer kenny mcpeek and jockey brian hernandez jr. also won the kentucky oaks on friday at churchill downs.

Mystik Dan has won the 150th Kentucky Derby in a photo finish. Mystik Dan just barely beat out Sierra Leone and Forever Young by a nose in a photo finish as all three reached the finish line.

This is now the 26th time that the Kentucky Derby has been decided by the length of a neck or less, and Mystik Dan reached the winner's circle in one of the most thrilling finishes in recent memory at Churchill Downs. 

Mystik Dan took the lead down the backstretch and it looked like no horse would be able to catch him, but that's when both Sierra Leone and Forever Young made their move. As Mystik Dan began to slow a bit nearing the finish line, the two horses -- seemingly pinned to one another -- made the hard sprint to the finish line and nearly stole the victory away.

Trainer Kenny McPeek and jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. also won the Kentucky Oaks on Friday at Churchill Downs, making them just the second tandem to accomplish the feat.

In the immediate aftermath of the race, McPeek gave all the credit to Hernandez. McPeek said Hernandez has flown under the radar for a while, but those days are gone now.

"Brian just did an amazing job," McPeek told NBC in a on-track interview. "Just a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant jockey and ride. I mean, the draw helped us from the beginning. We talked about that. ... Brian is amazing. Probably one of the most underrated riders in racing, but not anymore."

Because of the razor-thin margin of victory, everyone had to wait several minutes for an official winner to be declared. Hernandez described that anticipation as "the longest few minutes I've ever felt in my life." Hernandez also said winning the Kentucky Derby fulfills a childhood dream for him.

"This is a lifetime achievement," Hernandez said. "This goes to our whole family. We've worked all our lives for this. It's hard to describe what kind of feeling this is. I told myself I was never going to step into the Derby winner's circle until I could do it on the back of a horse. To be able to live that dream from when I was a six-year-old kid riding my bike around my grandparents' farm telling them I was going to win the Kentucky Derby one day. Here we are."

Race favorite Fierceness started out strong, running with the leaders early. But down the stretch, he faded quickly to back and finished a disappointing 15th.

Biden ripped for calling American ally xenophobic: 'Solve the problem in NY'

by JACKSON WALKER | The National Desk

WASHINGTON (TND) — President Joe Biden received sharp backlash Thursday for a comment declaring Japan’s immigration policy to be “xenophobic.”

His remarks came during a campaign reception at the upscale Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. While speaking to attendees, Biden made the case that migrants are making the U.S. economy stronger.

You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others,” Biden said . “Why? Because we welcome immigrants. We look to — the reason — look, think about it. Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants.”

“Immigrants is what makes us strong,” he continued. “Not a joke. That’s not hyperbole. Because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and just contribute.”

Japan is considered an important U.S. ally . The nation's prime minister recently visited Washington to meet with Biden. The comment drew backlash from Japanese leaders who encouraged Biden to get a grip on his own country’s struggling immigration policy.

European leaders are also concerned about the immigration problem. There is no country that is currently successful,” Mizuho Umemura, a conservative Japanese House of Councilors member, said according to X translation. “I would like President Biden to solve the problem in NY. Depending on the presidential election, there may be a 180-degree change in policy, and there is no need for Japan to follow suit.”

“It is not [xenophobic],” House of Councilors member Sohei Kamiya said . “Because I see your failures. We are doing this carefully. Isn't this interference in our internal affairs going too far?”

White House press secretary Jean Karine-Pierre on Thursday defended Biden’s stance, saying he only intended to emphasize the American melting pot mentality.

“He was talking about who we are as a country,” she said. “He was talking about the importance of being in a country of immigrants, especially as you see that attacks that we have seen especially in the last couple of years on immigrants in particular.”
