First of all, yes, I will lock this, Aiko, for it is a repeat of another thread type I've seen many times *there really should be a sticky about it, or something...* And second of all, for typing/being able to read Japanese, you've gotta to two things. First(if running Windows, Mac users should have it already), go
here, and download and install the IME fo your system. *make sure you have the installation disc for your OS on hand* Second, if it doesn't let you type i Japanese after that, get
The NJStar Japanese Word Processor, and start typing away.
