"Kiban honpo" "info@kibanhonpo.com"

Dear logic star-san

Thank you for your reply.

The problem is languages on their sites. (It's all Japanese!)

So many people outside of Japan can't read the languages you know. :)

And the people don't like see any Kanji. It's not practical information.

(Ahh... Where is the shipping costs?)

So I hope to they translate their sites to English for outside of Japan.

It's good for all mbed community.

Best regards

Shin.
