Eventhough I have almost nihil command of Japanese, I very much appreciate the original (both the characters and the phonetic transcription) along with the translations (which I often find more to my liking than some older translations, hence I am tempted to call them crisp and modern). In combination with the pictures this collection makes for a treat to read, like opening the doors of an advent calender, or trying exclusive chocolates for their surprise centres. Only I am more of a word lover than a bon-bon afficcionado. Working my way through all your posts, and often out of bandwidth to leave much of a trace, so I thought I'd just mention my appreciation here. Excellent explanation of why you "need to be" accredited. (But you also earned it!)
