    This weekend I saw advertisements on the trains here in Tokyo.The Japanese registry is finally actively promoting people to buy & use native Japanese domain names.

    Instead of getting anime dot com a Japanese person can register the native Japanese term www.アニメ.com instead which is just easier for the nation.

    Here's my link to my blog on it with pictures.

    This means a lot for the international market.

    That's because Japanese characters are not installed on your computer.
    I'm not a windows user so I can't exactly tell you how to enable it...
