Why Loekalization for Japanese

This is Rumi Tasaki, my beautiful and very talented wife. She's a Japanese native who has been playing and translating games for dozens of years. Together we form the strongest team on earth: a team that is ready to tackle the localization of your game and turn it into something... what did IGN Japan call it?

So natural and funny, that you wonder whether the original text was in Japanese.

Ah yes, that was it.
