SUMMARY:Conversation with Takami Founder Yuji Okamura
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to disrupt the Japanese market as a new startup? How can you beat entrenched Japanese competitors at their own game? How can you bypass Japanese department stores to succeed in prestige and luxury retail? How do you develop long-term relationships with Japanese consumers based on understanding and mutual trust? \nIf you would like the answers to these questions and more\, join us for a conversation with Yuji Okamura\, Takami founder and executive adviser to L’Oréal Japan CEO\, where you can ask him yourself. \nOkamura founded Japanese skincare product company Takami in 1999\, innovating an omnichannel approach\, selling directly to consumers online using a subscription model\, and disrupted the prestigious skincare market and industry in Japan. He defied conventional wisdom that retail success relies on department stores and wholesalers in distribution\, growing revenue to more than $60 million by 2019. The company continued to grow even during the Covid-19 pandemic that began in 2020 while incumbent competitors experienced negative growth or\, worse\, losses. \nIn 2021\, French cosmetics and skincare giant L’Oréal acquired Takami\, whose brand is now globally situated within L’Oréal Luxe. In Japan\, Takami’s business continues to grow while remaining faithful to its direct-to-consumer roots and eschewing department-store distribution\, even today. \nThis event is the latest instalment in the popular Conversation With series. ACCJ Independent Business Committee co-chair Steven Bleistein will begin an on-stage conversation with Okamura\, partway through which the audience will be invited to join. Ample time will be allotted for questions from the audience. \nNo slides and no speeches. Just lively discussion\, your questions\, and lots of business wisdom. If you are a manager involved in any kind of Japan market expansion or development\, or a leader looking to grow your business with gusto\, this event is not to be missed. \n  \nEvent Details\nDate: Tuesday\, April 18\, 2023Time:  12:00-14:00 (in-person);            12:55-14:00 (virtual)Venue: Tokyo American Club\, Manhattan Room (B2F)Fee: JPY 4\,700 SpCCJ members / JPY 8\,100 non-members(this includes drinks and finger food) \nSeats for SpCCJ are limited to 10\, first come first serve. \nThe deadline for registration is Thursday\, April 13\, 2023 (17:00)  or when seats are full. \nOrganize and co-organize: American Chamber of Commerce in Japan\, French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan; Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Japan \n  \nRegistration for this event is closed.  \n

SUMMARY:Running for My Life: One Lost Boy's Journey from the Killing Fields of Sudan to the Olympic Games
DESCRIPTION:第二次スーダン内戦の戦中、多くの少年が兵士たちに拉致され、地獄のような収容所に監禁された。ロペス・ロモングも拉致された少年の一人であった。だが、彼は絶望的な状況にあっても希望を失わず、人事を尽くして天命を待った。彼は謎の三人の少年の助けを得て収容所を脱出し、矢のように走った。その前途に彼を待っていたのは、アメリカとオリンピックと偉大な使命であった･･････愛と勇気と希望と感動の実話の初邦訳‼ \n株式会社DELTA COMMERCE JAPANの事業の一つとして新しく誕生した出版社『プリズムBOOKS』が、この度、第3刊として、『いのちをかけた疾走（原題:Running for my life)』を発表いたします。\nスーダン内戦の戦中難民キャンプで10年以上も苦汁をなめたのち、NIKEのスポンサー選手としてオリンピックに出場したロペス•ロモングの波乱万丈の自伝です。 \n2月20日（月）19:00に、本書の発表会を行います。またこの機会にプリズムBOOKSがこれまでに出版した書籍もご紹介したいと思います。\n当日は、プリズムBOOKS創設者、編集長、そして『いのちをかけた疾走』の訳者が登壇いたします。\n皆様のご来場をお待ちしております。 \n  \nRunning for My Life is not a story about Africa or track-and-field athletics.

Understanding your brain\, managing your emotions\, and being aware of your responses to stressors can give you greater self-control. Rather than a gimmicky guidebook\, this is a thorough look at how our brains react to stress\, threats\, hyperstimulation\, and the vices of our digital age. With proven techniques backed by solid\, up-to-date psychiatric research\, Estapé teaches us how to make the best of our lives. \nCombining science\, psychology\, and philosophy\, Estapé delivers practical advice about how we can cultivate a happy existence. This includes understanding the parts of the brain\, setting healthy goals and objectives\, strengthening willpower\, cultivating emotional intelligence\, developing assertiveness\, avoiding excessive self-criticism and self-demand\, and mastering the proven art of optimism. \n  \nビジネスの現場\nThe business world\n大江正彦\nOe Masahiko \n \n著者は20年に及ぶアメリカでのビジネス体験を持つ。アメリカのビジネス界、特にホワイトカラーの間ではMBAを取得しているか否かが大きな鍵を握っている。MBAを取得していないと出世どころか、就職すら出来ないケースが多々ある。それ程迄に尊重されているMBAであるが、著者は疑問を抱く。それは、頭でっかちになって、ビジネスの現場で通用しないMBA取得者を多く見てきたからだ。物を売るとは、お客様本位とはどういう事かを、著者の体験を通じて語っている。 \n著者について。\n1946 年（昭和21 年）12 月３日生、1970 年同志社大学経済学部卒業、1970 年松下電器（パナソニック）貿易入社、1984 年アメリカ松下電器（在、ニュージャージー州）出向、1987 年ナショナルホームアプライアンス社（ロスアンジェルス）設立経営責任者、1994 年ハワイ松下電器（ホノルル）総支配人、2002 年５ 月久光アメリカ（ロスアンジェルス）出向副社長、2008 年４ 月同志社女子大学英文学科嘱託講師中小企業基盤整備機構国際化支援アドバイザー、現在：京都・大阪日米協会会員、ハワイ滞在時：ハワイ日本クラブ会長、ホノルルシンフォニー合唱団理事長。 \nThe author has 20 years of business experience in the United States\, where the key to success in business\, especially among white-collar workers\, is having an MBA. There are many cases where one cannot even get a job without one\, so much so that the author has doubts about the MBA degree. He has seen many MBA graduates who are egg-headed\, as it were\, to the point of not being able to succeed. Through his own experience\, the author explains what it means to sell something and what it means to be customer-oriented. \nOe Masahiko was born on December 3\, 1946\, he graduated from Doshisha University in 1970 with a degree in economics\, and joined Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) in 1970. In 1984 he was transferred to National Home Appliance Company (New Jersey\, USA)\, was made General Manager of Matsushita Electric Company (Los Angeles) in 1987\, and Executive Officer in 1994 (based in Honolulu).

SUMMARY:Webinar: E-Preservation Act – Stay Tax-Compliant beyond 2024 (JP|EN)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is organised by Austrian Business Council with SpCCJ’s participation. \nWith the 2021 Japan tax reform of the E-Preservation Act (Act on Book and Record Keeping through Electronic Methods or 電子帳簿保存法) a further step in digitalizing tax related processes has been taken. The changes will be more fundamental as the possibility to preserve records of so called “electronic transactions” in hard copy format has been abolished from January 2022\, with the possibility of a deferred implementation over a period of two years. Accordingly\, from 1 January 2024 taxpayers will be obliged to preserve “electronic transactions” in an electromagnetic format\, which is accompanied by certain rules and standards for handling and storing information electronically. \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the rules for electronic preservation for all types of company records\, i.e. accounting books\, scanned documents and electronic transactions\, and will explore the available tools and measures to stay compliant for preserving records in an electronic format. \nThe format is a 10min English introduction in the main points relevant followed by a 30min Japanese explanation covering details of the new regulations. \nTopics will inter alia include: \n\nDefinition of types of company records per the E-Preservation Act\nMethods for storing information electronically per the type of records\nPractical solutions for required systems and processes\n\nQ&A and guidance published by the National Tax Agency Japan \nSpeakers: Mazars in Japan \nJuergen Dumont\nDirector \nJuergen is a Director in the Outsourcing practice of Mazars in Japan. He draws on 27 years of experience from roles in Professional Services and Management in Germany and Japan. He started his career with providing audit and tax advisory services in Duesseldorf and Tokyo\, followed by assuming two senior finance roles at German companies in the software and the manufacturing business.
