Forte Webinar · Tokyo, since 1987
Thirty-one half-hours,
whenever you need them.
The whole library, listed below: writing the paper, the English a Japanese lab is corrected for, submission, review, conferences. Presented in English by native instructors, with English subtitles, and watched in any order.
Kō — the seal of the lecture
Thirty-one, not
a curriculum.
There is no order to keep and no term to finish. Each recording closes its own question, so a member watches the one that matches the problem in front of them and stops.
Part of the Forte Webinar membership. Slides download with every recording.

How the library
is opened
Everything above comes with one paid membership: the thirty-one recordings, the slides that go with them, and somewhere to send the question a recording did not answer.
There is no term and no timetable — nothing expires and nothing has to be finished. Write to the coordinator and the application form comes back with the current rate on it.
What the membership includes
- Every recording in the library, on demand
- The presentation slides, to download and keep
- Questions answered in English
- English subtitles on every video
The rate is quoted on the application form rather than published here.
Why researchers choose Forte
Five things you are paying for
Native instructors, in English
Every recording is presented in English by a native-speaker instructor, and every one of them carries English subtitles.
One problem per recording
Each recording finishes its own topic in fifteen to forty-five minutes, so it can be watched when the problem appears rather than in order.
Slides you keep
Slides download with every recording, so the material stays when the video ends.
Somewhere to ask
A recording answers the common question. For the one it did not answer, members write in and get an answer in English.
The whole library
All thirty-one recordings open with the membership, watched in any order and returned to at will.
Frequently asked
Questions about the library
The library grows over time rather than to a schedule; thirty-one recordings are listed on this page as of August 2026. Members see whatever has been added since they joined.
No. Each recording closes its own question in fifteen to forty-five minutes, so members start with whatever matches the paper in front of them.
English, presented by native instructors, with English subtitles on every recording.
Yes. Every recording comes with its presentation slides, and members download and keep them.
Send the question to the coordinator: member questions are answered in English, and that exchange is part of the membership.
No — it is paid. The rate is quoted on the application form the coordinator sends, and there is no term to commit to.
Write to us and the application form comes back with the current rate. Fill it in, send it back, and the whole library opens.
