Until now, I have been teaching Japanese on the platform italki. It’s a great platform, but recently, many of my new students have started learning from my YouTube videos. Some of them hesitated to use a specific platform, which made it difficult for them to book my lessons.

To make it easier for everyone to book directly, I’ve introduced a calendar system that allows students to book lessons without needing to belong to any specific platform.

Let's Learn Japanese Onomatopoeia! #12

しょんぼり（shonbori）✨

Meaning:
A Japanese onomatopoeia that describes a feeling of sadness or dejection, usually with a hint of being downcast or discouraged. It’s often used to describe a person who is feeling blue or disappointed, but in a more gentle or subdued way. 😞🌧️
意味：
悲しさや落胆を表すオノマトペで、しょんぼりとした気分や元気がなく、少し沈んだ感じを表現します。失望しているものの、少し控えめで穏やかなニュアンスが含まれています。😞🌧️

Usage:
・"Shonbori suru" (to feel down or dejected)
・"Shonbori to" (used with a verb, e.g., walking sadly: しょんぼりと歩く)
活用：
・しょんぼりする
・しょんぼりと（動詞）

Point:
Unlike "がっかり" (gakkari) or "がっくり" (gakkuri), which convey stronger emotions, "しょんぼり" (shonbori) is used for a more subtle feeling of sadness or disappointment. It’s like when someone is quietly upset or feeling a little low, but not overwhelmed by their emotions. 🌸
ポイント：
「がっかり」や「がっくり」と違って、「しょんぼり」はもっと控えめで穏やかな失望感や悲しみを表現します。強い感情に圧倒されることなく、静かに沈んでいるような感じです。🌸

Conversation Example 1:
【友達との会話】
A：今日はちょっとしょんぼりしてるんだ。
B：どうしたの？何かあったの？
Between friends:
A: I’m feeling a little down today.
B: What happened? Is something wrong? 😔

Conversation Example 2:
【ペットと一緒に】
A：犬が今日はしょんぼりしてるね。
B：うん、散歩に行けなかったからかな。
With a pet:
A: The dog looks a little down today.
B: Yeah, maybe because we couldn’t go for a walk. 🐕

これからもたくさん日本語のオノマトペを紹介していきますね！
楽しみにしていてくださいね😊💕
I will continue to introduce more Japanese onomatopoeia, so stay tuned! 😊💕

Visa-related Questions
Are There Age Restrictions for a Business Manager Visa? 💼

Key Points:
・No Age Limit: There is no specific age restriction for obtaining a Business Manager Visa.
・Increased Scrutiny: However, applicants over a certain age, such as those past retirement age, may face more stringent scrutiny during the visa evaluation.
・Risk of Misuse: Applicants without genuine business operations may face visa rejection or even legal action if their business intent is found to be a facade.
・Investment Opportunities: Older applicants may find it easier to meet investment requirements, especially if they have sufficient capital and experience.

Explanation:
Although there are no official age limits for a Business Manager Visa, applicants over a certain age may encounter more rigorous scrutiny. Recent cases have highlighted issues with applicants who acquired the visa under false pretenses, such as claiming a business operation that didn’t exist. It’s crucial that the business plan is solid and genuine to avoid future complications.

Let's Learn Japanese Onomatopoeia! #11

がっくり（gakkuri）✨

Meaning:
A Japanese onomatopoeia that describes a feeling of physical or emotional exhaustion, often after disappointment or frustration. It’s used when someone feels deflated, weak, or powerless, as if they’ve lost all energy. 😔💨
意味：
失望や落胆後に感じる、体力的・精神的に消耗した状態を表すオノマトペです。力を失ってへたばったような感覚、気持ちが沈んだ時に使います。😔💨

Usage:
・"Gakkuri suru" (to feel deflated or exhausted)
・"Gakkuri to" (used with a verb, e.g., slouching, walking with no energy: がっくりと歩く)
活用：
・がっくりする
・がっくりと（動詞）

Point:
While "がっかり" (gakkari) also expresses disappointment, "がっくり" (gakkuri) emphasizes a deeper, physical or emotional collapse. The key difference is that "がっかり" can be used for mild disappointment, while "がっくり" describes a more intense, drained feeling, often in a physical sense. 🌧️
ポイント：
「がっかり」と似ていますが、「がっくり」は、もっと深く、物理的または精神的に力を失った感じが強調されます。つまり、「がっかり」は軽い失望感を表し、「がっくり」はその後の体力や気力の喪失感を表現します。🌧️

Conversation Example 1:
【疲れた友達との会話】
A：今日はすごく疲れた・・・
B：わかるよ。仕事が終わった後、もうがっくりだよね。
Between tired friends:
A: I’m so exhausted today...
B: I know. After work, I felt completely deflated. 😩

Conversation Example 2:
【スポーツ後】
A：試合が終わった後、がっくりと座り込んでしまったよ。
B：本当に悔しいよね。
After a sports game:
A: After the match, I just collapsed in exhaustion.
B: It’s so frustrating. 😔

これからもたくさん日本語のオノマトペを紹介していきますね！
楽しみにしていてくださいね😊💕
I will continue to introduce more Japanese onomatopoeia, so stay tuned! 😊💕

Visa-related Questions
Can I Register My Home Address as a Company Address for a Business Manager Visa? 💼

Key Points:
・Home Address Registration: It is possible to register your home as the company’s address, but it may require changes before applying for the visa.
・Address Change: Before applying for a Business Manager Visa, the company’s address usually needs to be updated to an office or store location.
・Costs: Changing the registered address costs ¥30,000 to ¥60,000, depending on the jurisdiction.

Explanation:
While you can temporarily use your home address to save costs, it’s best to avoid unnecessary changes later. Planning your company’s setup carefully will help minimize expenses and simplify the application process.

Can I Use a Rental Office for a Business Manager Visa? 💼

Key Points:
・Rental Office: A rental office is acceptable for a Business Manager Visa if you want to minimize initial costs.
・Private Space: The office must have a private, enclosed space to meet visa requirements.
・Restrictions: Shared desk plans or virtual offices without private rooms do not qualify.

Explanation:

Visa-related Questions
What Are the Key Points for Renewing a Business Manager Visa? 💼

Key Points:
・Renewal Requirement: The Business Manager Visa is typically issued for one year initially, with renewal required after that.
・Business Continuity: Immigration authorities focus on the continuity of the business when considering visa renewal.
・Reductions Not an Immediate Issue: A deficit does not automatically prevent renewal, but a business plan showing how to return to profitability is required.
・Reasons for Refusal: A Business Manager Visa renewal may be denied if:
１）The business has been insolvent for two consecutive years.
２）There has been no gross profit for two consecutive years.
３）Essential personnel cannot be hired for businesses like restaurants or salons.

Explanation:
For Business Manager Visa renewal, the key factor is business continuity. If there is a loss, a well-structured plan to return to profitability will help. However, if there are issues like insolvency, no profit, or inability to hire essential staff, renewal may be denied.

Visa-related Questions

Is a Minimum Capital of ¥5 Million Always Required? 💼

Key Points:
・Minimum Investment: To obtain a Business Manager Visa, a minimum investment of ¥5 million is typically required. 💰
・Proof of Funds: Applicants must prove the source of the funds (e.g., savings, gifts, or loans) and show they are not "window dressing" funds. 📄
・Exceptions: While theoretically possible to apply with less than ¥5 million, this requires hiring at least two full-time employees, which is often impractical for new businesses. 👥
・Strict Standards: The ¥5 million investment is required per person, meaning shared investments (e.g., ¥300,000 and ¥200,000) do not qualify. 🚫

Explanation:
Although the official requirement for a ¥5 million investment was removed during the transition from the old Investment/Management Visa to the Business Manager Visa, this standard remains in practice. Immigration authorities require detailed proof of the fund’s origin and use. ✍️

For those without ¥5 million, the alternative—hiring two full-time employees—is rarely feasible for startups. Meeting the ¥5 million investment threshold is often the most practical route.

However, potential regulatory changes could ease these requirements in the future. Stay tuned for updates! 📢
