Hello everyone welcome back  to Tokyo Creative Play, I'm your host Shiori and I'm with

Present continuous

other Japanese people today I'm going to show you how Japanese people work remotely

Past simple

I guess you guys already watched Natasha, Alex and Emma try to cook

Japanese food. But we Japanese people will show you how we work remotely from home

so it's been like three weeks since we started and then sometimes I feel

like ah I missed Natasha and other members but can't help it!

Today's breakfast is coffee, English muffins, and a banana shake!

I usually have bread for breakfast while checking news programs on TV.

After breakfast, I watch YouTube and do Yoga for 10 mins.

So in front of the refrigerator I always check the to-do list

drink yogurt and water and do meditation and drink coffee and clean the room

So every morning, I choose what tea I'd like to drink from here.

I'm not coffee person my husband is also not! Japan limited blend: Strawberry tea

now is the best season for strawberry I'm going to drink this one and I have

other flavors Lipton is cheap and affordable anyway

I'll start working. Ganbarimasho (Let's do the best!)

working from home I'm basically working from this dining table because I don't

have much space if you guys already have watched my TC homes

episode you guys already know how big(small) my place is and then whenever I have

meeting I'm going to the other room to have my private space yes that's how I

work you guys can see Tman Kanako and Hatch-san how they are working from home

Whenever I work from home, I sit on the right edge of the sofa

because if I sit down around here, I will lie down and relax so I tried to sit down on around here!

Here is not too comfortable so I can focus on my work.

And this is my working desk, it's a dining table actually.

Again I'm trying not to relax too much and doing the best to focus on my job!

As you can see, this is my living room it's kind of messy so this is a dining

table so I use this for lunch and dinner with my family yeah this is my workspace

and I have a bag for shopping and handbags

basically, this whole rack is my desk. This rack and this case underneath

I found these from my apartment (garbage space) and kept them actually.

Sometimes I sit down on this suitcase, so it is worn out a bit. I have mug here, vaseline to moisturize,

A Wonder Woman my friend gave me, iPad I usually watch YouTube with it and a notepad.

So now is 10:15, every morning on Slack, we share what we are going to do today so

we are checking with each other what kind of tasks we have and  if there's something that we are

missing, we let them know "could you work on this" or

"please prioritize this project first" or something like that. That's how we will keep track that

everyone is on the same page because it's really hard to communicate remotely but

so far so good! everyone is very proactive and then we

share news or how other companies ganbaru (hang in there) do the best for

this current difficult situation. But everyone seems genki (okay) so everything is good!

So my task right now, for some reason, I'm working on the magazines? not magazines.

more like a leaflet, free paper you can get in a really really cool prefecture.

so today and tomorrow I'm going to wrap up the project so I'm a bit busy right now

Look at this, it keeps spinning! My senpai (senior) used to call it "YASHICHI"(pinwheel)

Ah yes, finally oh no... It turned out this guy's name and a weapon is this pinwheel so we call this YASHICHI

So let me explain about my role it's quite hard to describe in English so I'll go with Japanese

My role is Chief Operating Officer.  I'm making a strategy to increase sales and revenue.

And based on that I make sure all operations are doing smoothly and well for the clients.

Tokyo Creative provides promotion service support to companies and local governments.

We work with clients who want to reach out to a different market and help them

Me and Kanako are mainly trying to get new deals as much as we can

I talk to the clients, and  Kanako talks to the influencers too

I'm asking what's the goal for the client, and then

we make proposals and quotes based on that, and determine the plans

After we finished productions, we are writing a result report and issue invoice

The thing I love most about my job is seeing the completed project and published video,

reading audiences's positive comments, I'm very happy and fulfilled having done my best for the project.

I feel, it's good to work with this current job!

That's what we do in TC, actually we started looking for a someone

who is bilingual, very genki (lively), proactive and hard worker!

If you are interested in please check out the description box but yeah we'll just continue working like this

This is my lunch today, but actually my usual lunch is this one!

I'm going to cook lunch now, today's menu is ....

This is Natasha's favorite food,  so please try cooking this!

Now I'm going to cook peperonchino, bacon, eringi mushroom, this unique vege from my grandma

I made a video what I've got from my grandma on my own channel.

Done! lunch is ready, I will eat this with my husband.

So for this video, we are showing you,  what we are wearing inside our house, check it out!

Most of Japanese wear jacket whenever we have a meeting, so it looked formal

but underneath is like this, jersey pants!

so this is my closet. as you can see everything is black... I don't want to spend time

to think you know which color is the best for today. so it's quite simple! just pick it and wear it!

Anytime I don't have a meeting with the client, I wear hoodies!

Let me share my thoughts about this remote work situation

So far, we are really proactive, efficient and maximize our working hours!

Because we don't spend our time commuting and visiting clients, we can focus on tasks and

our productivity has improved! everyone performs very well, and delivers things with good quality.

On the other hand, you can hear the environment noises like this,

so sometimes it's hard to have online meetings.

Now is at 5pm, I'm going to continue working until 7pm

and after that I will just chill out (I can't wait for that!)

Personally, I think since there's no commute time, I can maximize my time and focus on what I do for work, which is great!

I miss TC members sometimes but so far so good! That's it!

Now is 7:30pm, it's time for us report each other what we have done!

But this is how Japanese people work from home! How was it?
