Hm, I don't know. I feel like people are investing more money on single purchases, rather than multiple small purchases, than ever. Looking it up, PP has definitely increased here in Germany: http://www.cosmetic-business.com/de/News/germany-in-a-buying-mood-in-2018/752087 The main issue is that people are spending large sums on stuff like mobile phones or digital goods which are basically worthless. Looking at Japan, PP is likely still way below the pre-bubble era. Otherwise, their music, anime and other entertainment industries wouldn't be struggling as much.

For a day? o_O Here, it's usually around a week, like 5-7 days...or more, if you are pretty unlucky. The only shipment that is immediate is from Amazon.jp and that's because I pay import tax in advance and everything is done digitally there, no physical customs papers involved at all. Hm. Well, one of my packages is at customs for 22 hours now. The other one was sent from that proxy service yesterday. My guess is they will take the same as the RR packages but I would be happy if there is a positive surprise. Hehe, I probaby imported too many light games. After all, a game in amaray is like 130-150g and a game box (from Alicesoft) can be 300-550g. Of course, it can be way heavier but then it's usually a collector's edition with lots of cool goodies inside.

Never heard of HAT but I do know Cheat Engine. Hm, I guess it really depends on how far you are willing to go. I'm willing to wait 20 years until I maybe know Japanese properly. I'm a pretty patient person in general, haha. I know of one fansub group that always hires a professional translator for their projects. Of course, the ideal alternative would be to have a Japanese girlfriend, hehe. Hm, one would still need to prove that one is working fully for that charity. And as for working on the product...the quality matters. You can show that you are working on it but you can also try to obfuscate the quality of the product.
