One fun aspect of localization is the adoption of “wasei ego” (non-nativeEnglish terms made in Japan) into common English parlance. The biggest one is “level up.” In the 70s/80s everyone use “gained/advanced a level,” but the JP term was so punchy it was immediately adopted!
Lol so non-japanese producers (or producers that don’t have a japanese phone number) literally just won’t be able to participate in the cg election in august. you need a phone number to verify your bamco ID account to vote.
