a) go search the U.S. iPhone app store for diet apps, and see a ton of really well designed apps
b) search for ダイエット on the Japan app store, see 5 or 6 pathetically laughable apps, shun them
c) look at the U.S. web, see how vibrant and open it is for all platforms from Linux to Windows to Safari
d) look at major Japanese websites that not only require Windows, but IE too
e) remember that many young Japanese just carry a keitai, and don’t own a computer
Japan is becoming a very un-technical nation, it seems to me.

We are at work on it. There are something like 40,000 graphics that need to be localized. It takes time. In the meantime, hope you’ll play our other games.

Funny thing was, there were anti-EU riots in the city that made it impossible to get to the convention for one of the days. We said screw it and hit museums, which was also very cool.
