from what i've seen yahoo seems to be a lot more popular than AIM or MSN in japan.

... have you tried the search function of whatever IM program you have to look for people from Japan? I know ICQ does it, and Im sure all of the others do it too. Slightly related, where is the regular apostrophe when using the Windows Japanese keyboard drivers and IME and setting it to be the default language? I didnt want to change it, but I had to for this game I play.

Accidental hilarity or are you trying to make a point?

Anyway, maybe this helps:

If regular people don't want to talk to you, what makes you think Japanese people will?

almost no japanese uses sms... also most of them don't even know about it(also all cellphone support it as "cell mail/message"). they just write by their cellphone mailadress.

topic: MSN is most popular.

21 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2009-03-18 12:16 ID:kjOJvHrU

MSN

22 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2009-03-18 12:16 ID:kjOJvHrU
