Please, don't spam absolutely idiotic comments like "english is better, what r u a jap?" That's a personal oppinion. Somehow I doubt you can speak both languages fluently enough to decipher for yourself which one is a better language. You seem to have enough problem with basic English grammar and spelling to nullify your argument. After only a semester of Japanese I can confer to you that Japanese is a much easier language to learn and is a much more efficient language to speak than English, but of course, that's just my oppinion.
I haven't heard any recent updates about the jap pack, though it *should* have been released well over a month ago. Check the dev journals.
