[Japanese TRPGs] Looking for Translators

Tell me about Japanese TRPGs you own. Tell me if you want to help translate them! Tell me your best links. Tell me anything you want about Japanese TRPGs!

Alshard ff (アルシャード フォルティッシモ)

Kind of a traditional looking game, lots of Final Fantasy style ideas.

Double X Cross (ダブルクロス)

Supers meets conspiracies!

Yuuyake Koyake (ゆうやけこやけ)

Weird looking game with anthropomorphic kids wanting to become human.

If there's interest, I can start my blog of Japanese TRPGs back up:

Re: Japanese TRPGs!

What's a TRPG? Tabletop RPG?

Yes, because in Japan, "RPG" generally is thought of as an RPG-type computer game.

Interested in what exactly?

Translation, imports, purchasing translations, or just plain playing them?

Interested in ... reading a thread about cool Japanese RPGs. I don't know a word of Japanese, but I understand they have some rather unique games over there.

Re: Japanese TRPGs!

With all of the fan effort that goes into translating anime, I wish some kids out there would translate these gems. I desperately wait for Andy to get done with Tenra Bansho Zero. Just the art and production values alone are staggering.
