So, you have any Japanese media that needs translation? It may be a radio show, audio drama or few magazine pages featuring your favourite actors. Or a joseimuke slash otome drama cd? You want to understand what’s going on! Unfortunately, you don’t understand Japanese enough. Leave it to me 😀
I’m here to be the middle person between you and your favs/oshi/bias!
I’ve been a fan translator since 2016 and have provided fan subtitles since 2020 for seiyuu/VA fandom. I am also certified with JLPT N3. I understand Japanese pop culture and slangs. Another important note is that I am willing to translate for fandoms I have little or no interest in, as long as you can cooperate for fact check.
Generally, these are my rates. Head to this link for more details, rules and FAQ.

Price stated exclude paypal fee. If you’ve commissioned me to translate before and decided to get it subbed later, that’d would be the half price of subbing.
No maximum limit. I’ve worked on 90 minutes broadcast and subbed 40 minutes podcasts before. But please only consider this service when you’re not in rush. I usually deliver final product after a week, but some might take longer. Translation should not be rushed!
I also can do ENG to JPN fan letter service, though I cannot promise perfect, no-fault sentences since I’m not a native speaker. I’ve had interactions with Japanese people (online + offline) and I’ve experienced having my letter read on a radio show. No exact fee on this but I promise it is affordable.
