ReachMahjong.com, Now in Japanese!
For 2 and a half years ReachMahjong.com has brought news from inside Japan and inside the Japanese Mahjong world to readers all over the world in English, as well as original columns, players forums, podcasts and Riichi Mahjong goods shipped directly from Japan. Now we are taking the next step, a whole new language and this time it’s your turn to shine in Japan.
Starting June 9th, 2009, ReachMahjong.com/ja will be reporting on Riichi events all over the world, in Japanese. There will be original columns as well as articles translated from the English version of the site. It’s time for Japan to know what Riichi players are doing overseas and we’ll be the first ones there to give them your news.
Players will also be able to use the Japanese site to sign-up for ReachMahjong.com Cups, which will be happening monthly, starting with the 3rd ReachMahjong.com Cup on June 28th. They will also get a first-hand taste of tournaments happening all over Europe and of course, the World Series of Mahjong.
There will not be a forum like there is on the English site, but ReachMahjong.com will use the Japanese site to improve the template layout, article organization, and also to introduce a brand new Hand History section, that will later be implemented on the English website. Later this month the Japanese site will also feature blog feeds from the top pro’s in JPML to ensure daily content for every Mahjong player and fan.
For those of you that can read Japanese or want to take a stab at the language check out ReachMahjong.com: Japan at http://reachmahjong.com/ja. Even if you don’t read Japanese, check out our layout and tell us what you think.
See you there!
