Another trick is to look at an English keyboard and place stickers
over the Japanese keyboard with the English keys.  There are 8 full keys
and 5 half keys that you have to redo.  If you are a touch typist.  It
is not worth it to learn the Japanese keyboard setting as it will
reduce your typing speed a lot.
