Japanese Video Editor | Translation, Subtitles & Captions

I grew up in Japan and lived there for 10 years, giving me native-level Japanese fluency and a strong understanding of Japanese language, culture, and communication. I specialize in Japanese–English video editing, translation, subtitling, and captioning, with experience creating engaging content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, advertisements, interviews, and other social media platforms. My services include: 🎬 Japanese video editing and short-form content 🇯🇵 Japanese–English translation and localization 📝 Japanese subtitles, captions, and SRT files 🎯 Short-form videos optimized for engagement and retention ✂️ Cutting long-form content into engaging clips and reels 🔊 Subtitle timing, synchronization, and formatting 🌏 Cultural adaptation to make content sound natural for Japanese or English audiences I’ve worked with international clients and understand the importance of natural translations, accurate subtitles, clean editing, and cultural context. I don't simply translate word-for-word—I make sure the final content feels natural and appropriate for the target audience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on clear communication, fast turnaround, and consistent quality. If you need someone who can handle both the Japanese language side and the video editing side of your project, I’d be happy to help.
