SciFi Japan is now press approved by most of the Japanese film studios and production companies. The great news is that this gives us unique access (for an English language news outlet) to a steady stream of Japanese press releases, high-res images, videos and production notes. The downside is we`re receiving these materials at a faster rate than our team can translate them. So we`re putting out a call for Japanese-to-English translators. SciFi Japan is a volunteer operation -- everyone involved with the site donates their time and work -- so this is not a paying position, but there are some perks involved... • SFJ is press registered with most of the major studios, production companies and video labels in the US and Japan including Warner Bros., Kadokawa, NTV, Walt Disney, Shochiku, TBS, Sony Pictures, Nikkatsu, VIZ Media, Universal, FUNimation, 20th Century Fox and Toei. So if you`re looking for a career in translation or entertainment reporting we offer an opportunity to start building a body of work for your resume. • If you`re a fan of anime and/or live action Japanese films you`ll have access to information and materials on new films and shows weeks -- and often months -- before they are released in Japan. • If you`re a language student in Japan or the major English territories (North America, UK, Australia/New Zealand) we can work with your school to get you additional credit for your contributions to SFJ. • The staff of SciFi Japan has worked with companies and distributors in Japan, the US and Australia. We`ve provided materials used by Tsuburaya Productions to promote Ultraman outside Japan, and written international sales material for Tohokushinsha`s 2013 GARO movie. We`ve recorded audio commentaries, produced extra content and assisted on more than a dozen different Godzilla/Toho DVDs and Blu-rays plus the recent Gamera Trilogy and Daimajin Blu-ray sets. As part of the SFJ team, translators will have an opportunity to be directly involved in new anime and tokusatsu releases. • SciFi Japan has press access to trade shows, film festivals and conventions, and companies regularly provide us with screeners and new products to cover on the site. Want passes to an anime or tokusatsu event? Free DVDs and Blu-rays before they`re available in stores? Here`s your chance.
