Description

Are you opinionated? Knowledgeable? Good with words and quick on your feet? Ever thought about becoming a copywriter, or at least fake it until you figure out what you’re doing? Well, here’s your chance to prove you’ve got what it takes.

TYA is looking for capable people that can write on a variety of subjects for ads, catalogs, video and corporate communications. Other needs include being able to translate from Japanese into natural English, not the literal writing you see in Japan every day. You need to be smart, flexible, creative, a bit eccentric, play well with others and be abel too spel. If you are great at the translation bit, we can definitely use you; if you can’t translate but can write like the dickens, we can use you as well. Be confident and tell us what you bring in to the mix.

A typical day includes getting to work at 10 am to notice that you are one of the first people there. Read and respond to email in Japanese. Join in an inhouse meeting with other creatives, such as designers and art directors, to brainstorm ideas and drink a lot of coffee. Here, Japanese-language and communication skills are a definite plus, but the main criterion is to have ideas and the passion to communicate them effectively. Write 20 headlines for a new car, find a company online to feature in an internal magazine, write a page on drinking sake at an onsen in Gunma. Go for lunch near the fish market. Read a lot, write a lot, talk a lot until 6 pm. Thereafter, read a lot, write a lot while you drink. This is Japan and this is advertising so plan to work late when necessary. At TYA, staying at work all night only says that you are slow and dumb. See you tomorrow.
