Japan Tech Field Notes

I’m putting together a weekly email about tech work in Japan.

The public guides are already available. Email delivery will begin after the dedicated publishing platform and consent flow are ready; the planned rhythm alternates complete free guides and deeper member editions.

What it will cover

The subjects that keep coming up.

Hiring and compensation signals; the Japanese used in real technical work; resumes, interviews, and company research; and the small communication habits that shape working life inside Japan-based teams.

When an employer supports an edition, that relationship will be labeled clearly. Sponsorship does not buy an endorsement or access to private subscriber data.

What I plan to publish

Planned free edition

Two complete articles in a typical month, plus a substantial preview of each member edition.

¥0

Planned member edition

Every weekly article, the complete archive, and the practical templates or worksheets attached to deeper editions.

¥1,500/monthor ¥15,000/year

Paid membership is not open yet. No subscription is collected until the publishing platform and customer portal are ready.

Editorial notes

Evidence, interpretation, and opinion stay distinct

Hiring and immigration already create enough anxiety. Sources and their limits will be visible, and uncertain claims will be described as uncertain.

Paid previews should still be useful

A preview will explain the problem and provide a real starting point. Membership adds the complete method, examples, and reusable material; it does not hold the basic conclusion hostage.

The planned schedule is simple

After email launch, one article will publish each week. Complete free guides and member editions will alternate.
