News: Due to the vast amount of releases and events which occur every day in the world of Japanese music, JaME is looking for members to help keep on top of the latest news. Duties will involve gathering news from other sources, writing and editing newsitems and adding them to the website. Candidates should be able to contribute to the news regularly, as this is a very busy part of the website.
Artist files: JaME is also looking for people interested in artist files. The ideal candidate will have an interest in multiple music genres (especially J-pop and visual kei), have basic Japanese comprehension and be a motivated writer who can complete a minimum of four files a month which will consist of research, original writing and reworks.
Reviews: We are looking for someone who listens to a variety of music and can write a minimum of two reviews a month. Be aware that you may be asked to review something for promotional purposes, so you won't always be able to write about bands you like. Please also send in a writing sample.
Proof-reading: Applicants must agree to take an editorial test to demonstrate basic knowledge of English grammar. You must be able to work in a timely manner. Prior work with editing foreign language translations is a plus!
