SERVICES
What we
make.
Translation, subtitles, dubbing — and the craft of translating culture that ties them together.
-
TRANSLATION
Not text conversion. Cultural translation.
We rewrite English scripts so they don't feel translated — slang, honorifics, in-jokes, naming. Our writers play games and watch anime. Surface-level translation and translation that lands are different things.
-
SUBTITLES
Readable. On-tempo.
Synced to the cut, not just the waveform. Character count per line, line breaks, and display duration tuned to Japanese reading speed. Streaming, short-form, live captions — all formats.
-
DUBBING
Real Japanese voices. Directed, in studio.
Cast from our in-house pro voice community. Recorded with context-aware direction in studio, mixed end-to-end. From a single line to a full series.

PR SUPPORT
Reach the Japanese market — beyond delivery.
Direct support for landing your work with Japanese audiences. Social planning, JP press outreach, fan-community work. Currently in pilot. Ask us if you want to be one of the first.

WHY US
Four reasons
studios pick us.
-
Global-first
Most Japanese voice studios are built for the JP industry. We've been built for overseas clients from day one. English comms, your timezone, your file format.
-
Pro voice network
We run a Japan-side voice-actor reskilling school. Direct access to its alumni and partner-school pros — without the agency markup.
-
One-stop pipeline
Translation, subtitles, dubbing, (soon) PR — all under one accountable producer. No coordinating between vendors, no telephone-game degradation.
-
Culture, not text
We know the difference between correct Japanese and Japanese that works. Where machine translation flatlines, we write to the character and the setting.
