peer agreement (net): +1弁護士 Explanation: "brief" is slang for lawyer. From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brief 1. brief a lawyer He refused to talk to the police until his brief arrived 3. brief A lawyer, (who'll come with a briefcase) I want to see a frigging brief! なので、 if you have "briefs to answer to," it means you have to "do as instructed by the lawyers" and work accordingly. "strict guidelines" と文脈が続きますので間違いないと思いますが。 I think the the artist in your interview felt that the controlling, 'commercial' feel of the イラスト業界 was too much for him/her. |

| Reference: about "briefs" Reference information: Now I get it! This term “briefs” is similar to the term “suits” meaning people carrying briefcases or wearing suits respectively, but in a broader meaning just stiff corporate types. Now how would you say “stiff corporate types” in Japanese? 弁護士might be ok, but a broader, more inclusive term might be more appropriate. |
