A Japanese agent in the music industry, wants to live in Taiwan and be Taiwanese
2025-07-29
More and more people from foreign countries are choosing Taiwan as a place to live and work. Today, we meet Shiori, a Japanese agent in the music industry. She loves Taiwanese food and culture. Her love of Taiwan made her decide to study Chinese and take frequent trips to Taiwan. She’s determined to become a Taiwanese and this year received a Taiwan Employment Gold Card. Let’s meet her.
One of Taiwan’s most classic snacks is a bowl of braised pork on rice with an egg. Shiori, an agent in the music industry, loves Taiwanese food and culture so much, that she visits Taiwan all the time. She even studied Chinese and is determined to become a Taiwanese.

No matter where I go, the people I meet are very caring and gentle. In Japan, there’s a feel of distance between people. The feeling of distance in Taiwan is just right.
Although Shiori graduated from the Faculty of Education at Tokyo Gakugei University and is qualified to teach at elementary schools and high schools, she never became a teacher. At first she was a backpacker. During her years at university, she travelled all over the globe to 46 countries. After graduation, she worked in a travel agency. In 2015, she brought Japan’s Little League Baseball team to Taiwan for a match, and promptly fell in love with Taiwan. For reasons relating to the COVID pandemic, she became a freelance worker, hoping to become a mediator and act as a bridge between Taiwanese and Japanese cultures, so that even more Japanese can get to know Taiwan.

Generally Japanese people have quite a lot of rules and customs, but Shiori is a very carefree person who doesn’t get stuck in the small things.

I’ve never seen a Japanese girl with so many expressions when she speaks. I even specifically asked her: You’re not an actress, are you?
On Shiori’s Instagram account, almost every photo shows her somewhere in Taiwan. Shiori often flew back and forth between Taiwan and Japan before she obtained a residence permit. She now shows off the Taiwan Employment Gold Card she received in April this year. She hopes to have more opportunities to work in Taiwan in the future and get even more deeply involved in the nation.

Many Japanese people go to Taiwan. I like that.
