I will research the japan market for you using japanese language sources
Native Japanese reviewer: localization QA, keigo, research
About this Gig
Google in English shows you maybe 20% of the Japanese market. The rest (mid-size domestic players, Rakuten-only brands, industry-association data, municipal statistics, Japanese-only price pages) is in Japanese.
I'm a native Japanese speaker based in Japan. I research your category using Japanese-language sources only and deliver an English snapshot you can act on:
(1) Who the Japanese players are and how they position themselves
(2) Price table normalized to the same conditions (tax-inclusive, unit, plan, channel), with the date captured
(3) Japanese-only facts a foreign entrant would miss
(4) Links to every Japanese source, plus a "what I couldn't confirm" list
Scope is fixed per package (number of companies), so you know what you get. This is a desk-research snapshot, not a forecast, investment advice, or a legal/regulatory opinion. On-site checks (store visits, photos) are not included; ask me and I'll quote if it's feasible.
Written communication only. AI tools help me collect and tabulate; I personally verify each source and judgment before delivery.

FAQ
Which categories can you cover, and is the report in English?
Most consumer and B2B categories. I decline medical/pharma claims, financial products and anything needing a licensed opinion. The report is in English; source links are Japanese pages, each with a one-line English note on what it shows.
Can you visit stores or take photos? How current is the data?
Not as part of this gig. Message me with the location and what you need; if it's practical I'll send a custom offer. Data is captured during your order; every price and figure carries a date and source. AI helps me search and tabulate; I verify sources and write the conclusions.
Do you use AI?
For search expansion, tabulation and first drafts, yes. Opening every Japanese source, normalizing the prices to the same conditions and writing the conclusions are done by me. I never send unedited AI output.
Can we have a call?
Sorry, written communication only. Tell me your category, the Japanese segment you care about and the decision this research supports, and that is enough for me to start.
