Thanks for the feedback. The tricky thing about Japanese is that it's context-sensitive so missing that 1 vital piece of information really makes it harder to translate. I think that Japanese marketing material is some of the hardest to translate because I can't really think of a way of marketing as diametrically opposed to American marketing as Japanese.

Personally, it looks like someone just copy-pasted stuff from a chart, then expected us to translate it word for word.
