Moving to Japan in a few weeks

contact me if you ever want a guide to survive your first Comic Market.lol.

How much are you going to be staying there anyways?

probably 2-3 years.

considering Japan is off the coast of California, i would say your ping should be fine.
also, there are korean and chinese servers (though you do have to use a korean citizen id i think for all korean online games).
