[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WMyjU5RweU”] A moment of praise to all people actually good at Japanese…especially the folks at Perfume City who recently launched a channel devoted to sub-titling Perfume-related videos into English. Of the clips on their right now, an early favorite of mine would be a program that interviews producer Nakata Yasutaka about the “ten golden rules”…
