Another way of looking at it may be that there is no need for a separate Japanese product. It looks to me that the English version fully supports Japanese. I will be surprised if there is a large enough Chinese market to support two language versions, simplified and traditional, but no use for a Japanese usable product. In any case, it's possible to produce a Japanese application from English VFP if you can get someone to do the translations, check for proper sorting, etc., and it sure looks cool!
