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

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

  • 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.

  • I will start working from home now!

  • 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!)

  • So I'm going to introduce where I'm

  • 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

  • I have 65L backpack and 25L backpack

  • 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

  • Do you hear my laptop is screaming?

  • 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

  • grow their businesses or gain exposure.

  • Hello, I'm Hatch from sales team.

  • 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

  • and try to get repeat customers.

  • 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

  • then let's see what other people do!

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

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

  • Okonomiyaki desu!

  • This is going to be my lunch today!

  • Itadakimasu!

  • 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.

  • It will take only like 10-15 mins!

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

  • Here you go! Thanks!

  • It's curry! Looks yummy!

  • 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?

  • Hopefully you liked the video and I was also happy to introduce Tman, Kanako and Hatch my JP colleagues!

  • But it's very difficult situation for everyone for you and everyone around the world but in 2019,

  • TC could get a lot of sponsorship deals, sometimes too much

  • I'm so sorry for that and also thank you for watching those videos or so why

  • we could get those deals because the Olympics was supposed to happen but since

  • that is also postponed we have another a year or more to make content about Japan so

  • hopefully everything's going to be ok as soon as possible and then

  • we can share more things about Japan! and then we haven't decided

  • how long we are going to work from home but you have any ideas that you'd like us

  • to try from home please leave the comments down below but thank you for

  • watching and I will see you in the next video!
