Editor-in-Chief

Daiki Sakurai

Age 35. As the editor-in-chief, I’m passionate about uncovering Japan’s history, culture, and daily life to share with the world. I especially love traveling to different regions, exploring local cuisine, and learning about the lifestyles of people in each area. Once I get curious about something, I tend to go all in—sometimes that even means hopping on a train to experience it firsthand! Recently, I’ve been fascinated by traditional festivals and the stories behind them. With a strong cup of coffee in hand, I’m always pushing toward crafting content that balances fun and accuracy (even if I can be a perfectionist at times).

Age 24. If there’s one thing I’m known for in the team, it’s being the “action girl”—I’m always up and moving as soon as something interesting catches my eye! I absolutely love discovering the latest trends and cultural hot spots in Japan, and my favorite part of writing is thinking, “Will this excite the readers?” Recently, I’ve been diving deeper into unique shops and trendy places I find through Instagram, hoping to make Japanese youth culture more relatable and exciting for readers abroad. Energy is my superpower, and I try to pour it into everything I write!

Age 33. I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of traditional Japanese culture and modern pop culture. Whether it’s tea ceremonies or stylish anime merchandise, I love how Japan combines its “old” and “new” worlds. I enjoy exploring and writing about these contrasts in a way that’s easy for anyone to understand. Sometimes I spend weekends visiting Japanese sweets shops or decorating my home for the seasons. And yes, I’m also the type to grab a latte in a cozy café while reading a light novel based on my favorite anime. That’s my happy place.

Age 38. I have a calm personality, but I can’t help but get fired up when it comes to history and travel. I love tracking down hidden gems and historical sites that are often overlooked, especially if there’s a fascinating story attached to them. Once I come across an intriguing topic, I can’t resist diving deep to uncover more. My articles may not be flashy, but I aim for something thoughtful that inspires a quiet “Ah, I didn’t know that!” Recently, I’ve been fascinated by Edo-period cuisine and am even attempting to recreate some of the recipes (stay tuned for the results in my upcoming article!).
