Because of a demonstrated lack of interest and (much more importantly) the futility of all but a few professional human translators in attempting to survive the AI transformation of the translation business, all translator-directed content has been removed from this website, and no more will be uploaded or created anew.
Almost all freelance Japanese-to-English translators remain dependent on translation-brokering agencies for work. With those agencies far along in the process of replacing the humans in the translation process, the current outlook for freelance translating is dismal. It makes no sense to continue to beat the "get better, do more, and aim for tier one!" drum. There is little interest—that has been demonstrated by website traffic over the past year—and only a tiny number of freelancers are going to be able to break away from agencies, with or without advice from me or others, hence the purge of these writings.
