Hello there, I already contact my professor and got a position but need to submit Mext Scholarship through him and my study/career plan is one of the things that could get me choosen. Please I run out of words or what to say anymore. everythin is separate but i merged them here:

Present field of study, Your research topic in Japan and Study program in Japan

I studied Computer Science at the University of xxxxxxxxx and finished my BSc in 2022. My time at university shaped both my technical foundation and how I think about technology as a tool for solving real problems. My interest in agriculture started when I worked on a small irrigation prototype for dry regions. I want to join the laboratory of Land Improvement and Management at xxxxxxxxxx University because the lab works on irrigation systems and environmental engineering for agriculture. This matches my interest in using technology to improve water use for small farmers. Professor xxxxxxxx's work on irrigation control and field data fits the direction I want to follow.

My topic is a Data Driven Smart Irrigation System for Small Scale Farmers in Semi Arid Regions.
I want to build an irrigation model that uses soil moisture sensors, weather data and crop conditions to guide water use. I will test machine learning models to predict water needs and control irrigation timing. My aim is to save water, lower costs and increase yield for farms that face drought.

My plan is to join the Laboratory of Land Improvement and Management at xxxxxxxxx University under Professor xxxxxxx. I want to improve my smart irrigation system by testing it in Japanese research environments and collecting data for better AI predictions. I hopeto develop a system that can be used in areas with water shortage like Somalia.

Methods
-Set up soil moisture and weather sensors on test plots.
-Build a mobile monitoring unit that records and sends data.
-Train machine learning models with field data.
-Compare automated irrigation with manual irrigation on the same plots.

Expected outcomes and SDGs
-Lower water use and higher crop yield.
-A practical model for farms in dry regions.
-Support for SDG 2, SDG 6 and SDG 12 through efficient water use and sustainable production.

al

My immediate goal is to continue as Chief Technology Officer at xxxxhub, xxxxxxx's first innovation hub. I will use the sensor analytics, model tuning, and field trial methods learned in Japan. I aim to run five pilot sites, train ten local technicians, and demonstrate 10-20% water savings on pilot plots. I will form partnerships with Japanese research groups and NGOs to share knowledge and run joint trials. Research results will be turned into simple technical guides and policy briefs for local stakeholders and government agencies so the technology moves from lab to field.

Within the next few years, I hope to become Deputy Director at xxxxxHub, responsible for innovation and operations. I will build an applied research unit that connects field data with practical solutions. I plan to work with international organizations like WFP or FAO and with Japanese research partners for joint trials. Paid maintenance and advisory services will be set up to support farmers and sustain the work.

In the longer term, I want to become an expert in drought-resilient irrigation systems. I will help growxxxxHub or xxxx Solutions xxxxxxx into a center for applied research, technology transfer, and training. My targets include reaching thousands of farmers, improving crop yields where the system is used, and supporting national policy adoption for climate-smart irrigation.

You fail to present a coherent research topic once you arrive in Japan. You do not present a current field of study as well. The information presented shows that you have your professor backing your application, but lack a clear direction for your study path and research requirement. You are discussing your academic biography here, which is not what the prompt is asking for. Therefore, your application will be disapproved based on this response statement. Overall, the essay shows that you would like to study in Japan, but do not really understand what you will be studying and why once you arrive there. The application itself is a mess and weak in terms of presentation. It does not work to portray you as a strong applicant for the program and scholarship.

I understand. you are right 100% and I appreciate your comment I have been editing for the past 6 hours and this is what I came up with. can you also rate my career plan that's what I am so afraid off it feels a bit off.

Proposed study program in Japan (Outline your field of study on this side and the specific of your study program on the reverse side of this sheet. This section is one of the most important references for selection. The statement must be typewritten or written in block letters. Additional sheets of paper may be attached if necessary. If plagiarism or fraud is discovered after selection, the selection will be cancelled retroactively.)
(日本での研究計画;この研究計画は,選考の重要な参考となるので,表面に専攻分野の概要を,裏面に研究計画の詳細を具体に記入すること。記入はタイプ又は楷書によるものとし,必要な場合は別紙を追加してもよい。なお、採用後に不正、盗用等が判明した場合は遡って採用を取り消す。)
If you have Japanese language ability, write in Japanese. (相当の日本語能力を有する者は,日本語により記入すること。)

 1 Present field of study(現在の専攻分野)

I completed a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Somalia in 2022. My work focused on data analysis, programming, and basic machine learning. I developed an interest in irrigation and soil monitoring after building a simple prototype for dry regions(attaching the prototype link here). My current field of study is the use of data systems for agricultural water management. I want to study how sensors, field data, and control models support irrigation planning in semi arid environments. This matches the research at the Laboratory of Land Improvement and Management at Hokkaido University. The lab studies irrigation control, soil conditions, and water use efficiency, which aligns with the direction I want to follow.

 2 Your research topic in Japan: Describe articulately the research you wish to carry out in Japan.
(渡日後の研究テーマ:日本においてどういった研究がしたいかを明確に記入すること)

My proposed research topic is Data Driven Irrigation Control for Small Farms in Semi Arid Regions.
I plan to design a model that uses soil moisture data, weather information, and crop conditions to guide irrigation timing. I will test machine learning models to estimate daily water needs and adjust irrigation schedules. The goal is to reduce water waste, keep stable crop growth, and help farmers in drought prone areas plan irrigation with confidence.

3 Study program in Japan: (Describe in detail and with specifics - particularly concerning the ultimate goal(s) of your research in Japan)
(研究計画:詳細かつ具体に記入し、特に研究の最終目標について具体的に記入すること。)

I will investigate how sensor networks and field data improve irrigation decisions. My research plan has three parts:

-Install soil moisture and weather sensors on test plots at Hokkaido University.
-Collect data on soil type, crop growth, and water use across different conditions.
-Train machine learning models and compare automated irrigation with manual irrigation on the same plots.

The study will examine how soil type, sensor placement, and model selection influence accuracy. I aim to produce an irrigation control model that fits small farms with limited resources. The final goal is a system that improves water use, lowers field stress, and keeps stable yield in semi arid regions.

I plan to use the field testing areas, soil labs, and data facilities at Hokkaido University. I hope to work under Professor Yamamoto's group because their research in irrigation control matches this topic. The research outcomes will help expand the university's work on sustainable water management and provide field data for future studies.

You do not neet to present your academic history in this case. Discuss the extent of your current field of study and it's relation to your interest in this masters course instead. Will be clearer. Explain it better to the reviewer. Since you already have the support of a professor located at the university in Japan, connect your research topic to his current work. That way the essay will have the needed continuity factor between the prompts that have been provided. The plan of your research should show how it will be beneficial to the university program and your professor mentor in the long run. both studies should benefit from your presence in the program.
