Business services
Japanese, checked by a native speaker — for teams bringing a product to Japan.
Bird Capital Inc. is a small Tokyo-based company. AI does the volume; a native Japanese reviewer reads every line, signs off on the result, and tells you what was changed and why.
1. Japanese localization for games, apps and SaaS
Japanese players and users often skip pages that aren't in Japanese. You get Japanese that reads as if it were written in Japanese, a reviewer who is accountable for it, and a log of every change.
| Service | Price | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Steam store page (short description, About section, capsule text) | $150 flat | 3 business days |
| App Store / Google Play listing | $150 flat | 3 business days |
| In-game / app strings: AI translation + native post-editing | $0.06 per word (min. $60) | ~5,000 words per 3 business days |
| Native review of an existing Japanese translation | $30 per 1,000 words (min. $30) | ~10,000 words per 3 business days |
How it works: glossary first (you approve names and terms) → AI first pass → back-translation to catch meaning drift → a native Japanese reviewer fixes every line for accuracy, tone and length limits → delivery with a "what we changed and why" report. Errors you find within 30 days are fixed free.
2. Japanese product pages for cosmetics brands (wording review)
Japan limits what cosmetics are allowed to claim. Wording that works elsewhere — "soothing", "whitening", "regenerating", "dermatologist recommended" — can become a problem once translated literally. We flag risky expressions and rewrite them in natural Japanese that keeps the selling point.
| Service | Price | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Review of an existing Japanese page (up to ~2,000 characters per SKU) | $60 per SKU | 3 business days |
| Full localization (Korean or English → Japanese) + wording check + native review | $120 per SKU | 5 business days |
| Partner plan for agencies (white-label) | $900 per month for 20 SKUs | Rolling |
This is a wording review, not legal advice. We are not lawyers. Final wording and its legal compliance remain the decision of the brand and the company holding the cosmetics marketing license in Japan.
3. Japan market entry, step by step
| Service | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Japan Entry Brief | $800 | Channels, competition and prices, rules to clear, logistics, Japanese keywords and a first-90-days plan (about two weeks) |
| Listing localization (Amazon JP / Rakuten) | $50 per product | Title, bullets, description and search terms in natural Japanese |
| Monthly operations | from $1,500 per month | Listing updates, Japanese customer messages and review replies, ads monitoring, monthly report |
