About Me

Chris Aaron
Welcome to my blog(s), which at this time primarily focus on gaming. I get much joy from learning/translating Japanese and sharing my work. I only post a translation if I believe it to be accurate, but my skills are still far from native level. Feedback and corrections are welcome! E-mail: chris@chrislovesjapan.com
