Japanese Translations are.. tough!

I must say, trying to translate (and edit) my book about a scared little hedgehog in a language I can't even read, feels a lot like fumbling in the dark. Thankfully both Yuko Mitani and Kazuhisa Kawahara are helping me tremendously and I am forever grateful for all your help! We are nearly there. Gambatte!
