Your Homepage Translates Fine. It Just Doesn't Convert.

Japanese B2B buyers evaluate vendors differently — different trust signals, different proof points, different buying-committee dynamics. Literal translation misses all of it, and most teams don't find out until months into a stalled Japan launch.

*Disclaimer: The following is an unsolicited mock-up created to demonstrate our localization framework. Nishijin GTM is not affiliated with this company.

Why reframing "AI handles it" as "AI handles the routine, people handle the judgment calls" changes how this lands with Japanese buyers.

AI SaaS Decagon (AI Customer Support / Concierge Platform)

Company Context

Series D, $4.5B valuation. Provides AI agent-based customer support automation for enterprise brands (Avis Budget Group, Deutsche Telekom, and others).

Before (Current Positioning)

Decagon's messaging leads with vision — "AI concierge experience," moving away from legacy systems, and measurable cost reduction. It's supported by customer logos and hard numbers (cost/time savings), in a fairly bold, efficiency-first tone.

Why This Underperforms in Japan

"AI automates support" reads as innovation in the US, but Japanese buyers often hear it as a quality risk — a signal that complaint handling and nuance might suffer. The framing needs to be "AI reduces the burden on people, freeing them for judgment calls" rather than "AI replaces the support team." Logo walls are strong social proof in the US. Japanese buyers tend to weigh detailed, same-industry case studies more heavily than a list of recognizable brands.

After (Japanese Market-Localized Copy)

AIに任せるのは「対応」、任せないのは「判断」

カスタマーサポートにAIを導入したいと思う一方で、「品質が落ちるのでは」「クレームにどう対応すればいいのか」という不安から、踏み出せずにいる企業も多いのではないでしょうか。
実際、導入前は同じ不安を抱えていた企業がほとんどです。

だからこそ私たちは、問い合わせ対応の負担を減らしながら、複雑な判断が必要な場面は人が対応する、という体制を、既存のサポート体制を大きく変えずに実現します。

導入企業の声(同業種の実例)
「導入前は、AIに置き換えることへの現場の不安が大きかった。実際にはAIが定型対応を担うことで、オペレーターは複雑な案件に集中できるようになり、顧客満足度もむしろ上がった」

まずは一部の問い合わせ種別から。効果を確認しながら、対応範囲を広げていくことができます。

Back-Translation (English)

Let AI Handle the Routine. Let People Handle the Judgment Calls.

You may want to bring AI into your customer support — but hold back out of concern that quality will drop, or that complaints won't be handled the way they need to be.

Most companies who've adopted this felt exactly the same way before they started. That's why we built a setup that reduces the burden of routine inquiries while keeping complex, judgment-based cases with your people — without overhauling your existing support structure.

What Companies Like Yours Are Saying
"Before we adopted this, our frontline team was worried about being replaced by AI. In practice, AI took over routine responses, which let our operators focus on complex cases — and customer satisfaction actually went up."

Start with a subset of inquiry types. Expand coverage gradually as you confirm the results.

Why Nishijin GTM, Not a Full Market-Entry Firm

You don't need a six-figure localization engagement to find out if your message lands in Japan. Full-scale Japan market entry firms are built for companies ready to commit $50K-250K+ to the market. Nishijin GTM is built for the step before that — testing your messaging fast and affordably, then deciding how far to go.

Every rewrite goes through the Nishijin Conversion Framework — restructuring your message using Japan's native persuasion structure, instead of a direct translation of the Western AIDA/PAS structure your current copy is likely built on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from just using ChatGPT or DeepL?

AI translation converts words accurately but keeps the original's persuasion structure intact. Japanese and English copy are built on different frameworks entirely — every suggestion from us focuses on how Japanese buyers actually evaluate vendors, rather than translation quality alone.

Do I need to commit to a full rewrite?

No. Most clients start with the $149 review to see if it's worth going further. There's no obligation to continue.

What if I'm not satisfied with the review?

Full refund*, no questions asked.

How fast can we get started?

The $149 review is delivered in 48 business hours. Full rewrites take 5-10 business days depending on scope.
