KAMI Japanese Body Therapy is Seeking Devoted People to Join Our Team
KAMI, a traditional Japanese body therapy specialist store with over a decade of experience, is expanding its presence in Malaysia and seeking to diversify its clientele. While most of its customers are Japanese, the organization is determined to attract a more diverse customer base. To achieve this, they are recruiting full-time Social and Marketing Specialists proficient in English, Chinese, and Malay.
These specialists will use social media platforms like Instagram and 小红书 to increase brand awareness and attract new customers. They will also be able to learn and promote Japanese-style body therapy while providing exceptional customer service. This includes understanding and explaining the therapy to customers, implementing marketing strategies, maintaining a clean workspace, and managing customer feedback and appointments.
KAMI is looking for candidates who are passionate about Japanese-style body therapy and have a friendly and sociable personality. Proficiency in English and Chinese (Mandarin) is essential, and basic computer skills are required. The organization values motivation, creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn. Knowledge of the Japanese language and culture is a significant plus.
The salary for this position ranges from RM 3000 to RM 3500, with potential increases based on experience and Japanese language proficiency. Upon reaching proficiency in body therapy techniques, salaries can increase further. If you are interested in this opportunity, you can find more information about KAMI and their services on their website and social media profiles. To apply, please submit your resume and a photo. KAMI looks forward to working with individuals who share their commitment to providing high-quality Japanese-style body therapy to both Japanese and local customers.
“KAMI” is a traditional Japanese body therapy specialist store that offers traditional Japanese “seitai” techniques. With over 10 years of experience, we have provided top-level “seitai” to over 500,000 customers in Japan. We have opened “KAMI,” a KLCC store, and a Bangsar store in Malaysia. However, our actual condition and challenge are that there are only a few local customers, and the majority of the customers are Japanese.
Our organisation is looking to diversify our staff members and introduce our specialty to people from other cultural backgrounds. Concurrently, we are also committed to promoting localization by recruiting local staff, who will play a pivotal role in the management and growth of KAMI. Furthermore, expanding our exposure is of great importance, given that all of our existing promotional materials on social media platforms are presently exclusively in Japanese.
With that being said, KAMI is presently extending an official invitation to potential full-time Social and Marketing Specialists who possess proficiency in English, Chinese, and Malay, inviting them to become integral members of our team as we work towards realising our objectives of cultivating a diversified business.
The job description is that you will work passionately to promote our traditional Japanese body therapy in the local market through sales and marketing efforts that will primarily involve using social media platforms (Instagram, 小红书) to increase our brand awareness and attract new customers.
After joining, you will receive our body therapy techniques and learn basic treatment methods.
Workers who join us will have the opportunity to understand and explain accurate information about Japanese-style body therapy to customers, allowing them to provide a seamless and informative experience. Additionally, they will receive training in Japanese hospitality so that every customer encounter is one of genuine warmth and courtesy. In addition to this, you will learn to develop and implement effective marketing strategies aimed at acquiring new customers and increasing revenue, contributing to the overall success of the business.
Furthermore, you will be expected to maintain a clean and organised workspace, fostering a welcoming and hygienic environment for both customers and colleagues. Lastly, you will be responsible for managing accurate records of customer feedback and appointment schedules, enabling us to continuously improve and tailor our services to better meet our customers’ needs, preferences, and timetables for appointments.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about learning Japanese-style body therapy and dedicated to promoting our high-quality techniques in the local market. Whether you are a fresh graduate or someone with prior experience, if you hold a degree, you are welcome to join us.
In addition to your enthusiasm for body therapy, we’re seeking candidates interested in social media marketing and eager to gain practical experience in this field. Basic computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office, will be beneficial for this role.
Proficiency in both written and spoken English and Chinese (Mandarin) is required, as effective communication is essential in our customer-oriented environment. You should also be willing to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate our customers’ needs.
A friendly and sociable personality is highly valued, as is a strong sense of motivation, creativity, and a hunger for growth. We encourage a willingness to learn with a student mentality, as well as adaptability and the ability to step out of your comfort zone.
Moreover, if you are passionate about learning the Japanese language and culture, it would be a significant asset, as it aligns with our commitment to providing an authentic Japanese-style experience to our customers.
Salary Range
RM 3000- 3500 (depending on experience; up to +RM 1000 for Japanese language proficiency)
Promotion opportunities
After acquiring proficiency in Japanese-style body therapy techniques and reaching the level to provide services to customers, the salary will be increased to RM3,500–4,000.

ChatGPT can now search for data on the internet
The generative AI platform ChatGPT can now fetch data directly from the internet and gather up-to-date information in real-time, its creator OpenAI said Wednesday, in a major milestone for the software.
Until now, ChatGPT’s responses to user queries were based on a vast database, which did not contain information from after August 2021.
“ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources,” OpenAI said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “It is no longer limited to data before September 2021.”
It also said that the latest feature would allow sites to control how ChatGPT interacts with them.
OpenAI launched the update for its paying subscribers in June, but suspended it after users managed to bypass paywalls on internet content.
The feature, dubbed “Browse with Bing”, is also reserved for paying subscribers of ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise services, but OpenAI said it would soon be available to all users.
OpenAI partner Microsoft already offers Bing Chat, an integration of GPT-4, the language model used to develop ChatGPT, with its internet search engine, as does Google with its conversational robot Bard.
ChatGPT will provide direct sources alongside its responses, which will no longer be based on the single database the program’s publisher controls.

Takumi International Forms Business Partnership in Malaysia’s EC Site Industry
TK International Sdn Bhd, a comprehensive marketing company based near Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is pleased to announce its business partnership with Takumi International Sdn Bhd, a retail business operating in Malaysia, to promote and support the sales of Japanese traditional crafts and apparel in the Southeast Asian market through EC sites.
Supporting Cross-Border E-Commerce Sales of Japanese Traditional Crafts and Apparel
Many countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, have witnessed a rapid expansion of the e-commerce market, where consumers make purchases online through EC sites and social media platforms. On the other hand, Japanese traditional crafts and similar products have had limited exposure online, with their historical background, traditions, and product values being relatively less showcased in the international market.
Hence, through this partnership, Takumi International aims to introduce the appeal of these Japanese products to the Southeast Asian market in languages such as English and Chinese and to expand into new markets through sales on EC sites. TK International will provide technical support for cross-border e-commerce and offer digital marketing strategies, supporting international success from a technical perspective.
Opening of an EC Site with Kimono as the First Step
As the inaugural step of this partnership, we are delighted to announce the launch of a new EC site with “kimono” as the central theme. This kimono-themed site offers a wide range of products, including hijabs made from Japanese kimono fabrics and fashion accessories, all produced in Japan. We aim to provide products that blend Japanese culture with Malaysian fashion trends.
Access to the kimono site is as follows:Takumi International’s Kimono Site https://kimono.com.my/
