Yesterday we linked to an article about the Nintendo DS and gave it some love. Let us take you back to that article, to the third page, about the import DS Rakubiki Jiten.

DS Rakubiki Jiten isn’t a game, no foolin’. But it is a very valuable piece of software to the j-pop scene. RJ is a dictionary + translator tool for Japanese students. You can scratch a character into the touchpad and a Japanese description will pop up for the closes match, or you can match it to the closest matching English word for a rough babel-like translation. It ties directly into Pictochat as well, and will copy and paste any input or output to the chat program.

DS Rakubiki Jiten is a Japanese only release, so all you domo-manga lovin importers better start importing. You can find it at Lik-Sang for $49.90 USD.
