I’ve always been very interested in the country and it’s culture and would like to to be able to study further education in Japan and to eventually work there. I also have native Japanese friends in Japan, so I would like to be able to speak to them to be able to speak to me in their mother tongue.

I am hoping to attend a Japanese college for Musical Arts after learning the Japanese language at a fluent level, and create video game music compositions that inspire those around me and the future generations of children and adults alike. I wish to use my ambitions for Japan only, as no other country has come close to encaptivating me as Japan has.

In Japan, I plan to embrace the lifestyle as much as possible, participating in local events and immersing myself in the culture. I hope to make new friends and relationships, and would aim to contribute to society by always conducting myself in an exemplary manner as to ferment a confidence in the Japanese public of foreign visitors.

If there were other delays it would be truly tragic for me, because I seem to leave my life hanging between Italy and Japan. In fact, knowing that at any moment the borders could reopen, I refused more remunerative jobs and with annual assignments, because I would not be able to free myself from these contracts and suddenly leave for Japan. I am avoiding engaging in long-term projects both from a business and a private point of view and this unfortunately is negatively affecting my life.

Based on my previous work experience in marketing and with my master’s degree completed, I will contribute to Japanese society with my knowledge as a student of the language school. For me, the goal is to work in a Japanese marketing company after finishing the language school so that I can share my know-how about the European target market to add value here for future campaigns.

As a student, I believe that allowing students to come and study will be beneficial for Japanese society as it will show that Japanese society has great intention towards students who share the same passion for Japanese culture as much as the Japanese. It will be a good image for Japan especially in a global pandemic situation.

Actually I closed my company and left my apartment to go to japan since 3 months. I’m stuck now because of COViD. I will still wait but it’s too sad If I can’t learn japanese in Japan. There is no sense if I spend my money waiting there instead of making something useful in Japan. Waiting here, is so much less productive than studying in Japan and COViD doesn’t care where I am (even if we have to be careful with COViD spreading). To sum up, I feel I’m loosing my time and worst, I feel It will change nothing for COViD.

If the delay is for few weeks that’s fine, we can start online and be used with the way to learn. But if the delay is more than a month, it will be frustrating because we worked hard to give ourselves the opportunity to go to Japan and enjoy not only the language, but also the culture and the people.

Studying Japanese in Japan means everything to me. I sacrificed 4 years of my life working to save money for this moment, never going out and studying/planning my life there.

As learning Japanese is my sense of direction, it will probably lead to a lot of stress and depression. As I have been focusing on my Japanese path. It may lead to a loss of hope for the world.
