In japanese, it reads:

Moshi yoroshikereba inpu (Imp) F rippu (most likely frenetic rip) (raningu?)suruno
tetsudatte moraenaidesuka

Ninja-san wa dekimasuka

Basically it looks like they were going on a blu spell run, wanting you to help on nin? lol. im not that great at translating but...

Wowsers. I need to be able to work on improving my magic squiggle -> english more.

Maybe when I can get back into college. D:

But I envy people that're able to do that. Japanese is a difficult language to learn, so /clap. =)

I at least get most JPs to type into Roman lettering that at least gives me a chance to translate it into English but i confess i know nothing about their language but i do my best to understand it =]

Only problem is when you are getting floods of katakana, hiragana, and kanji thrown at you and you have to translate that into romaji then that into english. Japanese is a damn 2 times translation step x.x

atleast I am always impressed by the games auto translate.
