Amplify Japanese Cardano Content

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
As newcomers to Catalyst just a few short months ago - we've been greatly excited by and impressed with the activities of the community here in Japan.
Having now become community members ourselves, we want to support the existing and ongoing efforts by garnering as much awareness for them as possible.
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Here in Japan, public perception and its nuances play a major part in business, politics, and everyday life.
There may be participants in the project for whom appearance and reputation becomes a concern.
Therefore, we may encounter challenges relating to the disclosure of information and/or identities.
