How to say "Close" in Japanese

When translating "close" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 密着 and 精査. In Japanese, 密着 (みっちゃく (micchaku)) is typically associated with "close contact; adhesion; sticking together; coverage/on-the-spot reporting" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to close physical contact, sticking together tightly, or on-the-spot coverage/detailed reporting. Often used as 密着取材. On the other hand, 精査 (せいさ (seisa)) maps to "close examination, careful investigation, scrutiny" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Refers to examining something very carefully and thoroughly, often to find errors or inconsistencies, or to confirm accuracy. Used in formal contexts like auditing, reviewing documents, or scientific analysis.. A literal translation of "close" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
