The web-magazine is the brainchild of Ryo Yamauchi, a current student studying at RMIT from Japan. Although still in its planning stages, the web-magazine has its roots firmly grounded in the personal experiences of both Ryo and her friends while living in Melbourne. It is a belief that shared perspectives will definitely bring people together and open doors to new experiences. Hence, the weekly web-magazine will regularly feature articles of interviewed Australian, International or Japanese students/workers talking about a wide-range of interesting topics. 

With that in mind, the bi-lingual magazine seeks to establish itself as a platform for sharing inter-cultural experiences of, not only the Australian-residing Japanese community, but also of the Australian and wider multicultural community. In addition, the magazine will also serve as an informative resource to future Japanese or International students or travellers interested in coming to Australia for work, study or play.

Currently, the weekly web-magazine is looking for volunteers to help translate some articles for them. Check out the volunteer requirements below.

Volunteer Requirements and Q&A:
  • Able to read, understand and comprehend the Japanese language at an Advanced level. Kanji reading is a must. [Potentially JLPT N3 Level and above]
  • Q: What is the workload for the weekly web-magazine?
    A: Half an A4 page of Japanese to English translations PER WEEK. [*Web-magazine is approximately one A4 in length]
  • Q: What kind of articles am I supposed to be translating?
    A: The articles consist primarily of INTERVIEWS with either Japanese or Australian students/workers in Australia.
