Translation in English into Japanese and Italian into Japanese.
I believe that translators should be capable of discerning subtleties and nuances, researching terminology and colloquialisms, and handling new developments in their languages. For this purpose, I always read related material and learn the basics and some of the details about the subjects I am dealing with. In my work I always try to strike a balance between faithfulness to the source text and readability in the target language.
