【あらすじ】
舞台は大人から子供までＴＶでも大人気のヒーロー「大江戸戦士トノサマン」が上演される劇場。
客席には主人公の熱血弁護士、成歩堂龍一と助手で霊媒師の綾里真宵の姿が。
真宵は大好きなトノサマンの舞台とあって上機嫌！
しかしそこには何故か、トラブルメーカーで成歩堂の幼馴染み、矢張政志の姿もあった。
いつの間にか客席には、成歩堂のライバルであり、かつ天才検事の御剣怜侍。
彼もまた成歩堂の幼馴染みだ。
さらには糸鋸圭介刑事の姿も。
やがて開演ブザーが鳴り、幕が開く。
舞台ではトノサマン達による大立ち回りがはじまった、その時！
宙に吊るされていた巨大提灯が落下。そして・・・炎上。
舞台は最悪な展開をむかえた！
やがて容疑者扱いとなった役者、荷星三郎は、旧知の成歩堂の弁護の申し出を断り、なぜか黙秘をし始める。
果たしてこの状況は事故なのか？
事件なのか？
目撃者はすべての観客。
いま、新たな逆転劇の舞台が幕を開ける・・・・。

The short version of the Japanese above:
Gyakuten Saiban - Turnabout Spotlight
Jul. 31 ~ Aug. 4 (stage play)
Kenzaki Kentarou - Phoenix Wright
Ogino Karin - Maya Fey
Mori Akihiro - Larry Butz
Isogai Ryuuko - Dick Gumshoe
Sugihara Isamu - Will Powers
Wada Takuma - Miles Edgeworth
Nick & Maya are attending a stage show of the Steel Samurai. Larry, Edgeworth and Gumshoe are also present in the audience. During the play, a great lantern falls from above the stage; setting things on fire. Suspect: Will Powers. Can Nick save his old client again? Was it an accident or foul play? There's at least not shortage of witnesses, because all of the audience were there!

Hah, that was the my first thought too. And yet he still somehow looks more intimidating than his game counterpart.

Funny how I stumbled upon this news. Just today, I attended FanimeCon in San Jose and they had the Ace Attorney movie available for show this year. Too bad as a theater presentation, it might not come to America, but we can hope.

If we can BARELY get Dual Destinies localized, there's practically ZERO chance that this play will ever come out of Japan. Sorry, but it's more of a culture thing than anything else. Japan is known for doing stage productions and musicals for a lot of their games, and most of those games have only a niche popularity in the West.

I've heard that the Japanese people like foreigners, but not foreigners living in their country. If you ever decide to live there, make sure you gain a good understanding of the language and culture. Don't be a weeaboo.
This is a great article if you're interested about common misconceptions about Japan.

Thanks, it was a good read. Kinda depressing though that most people in Japan perceive anime as kid's stuff. I think there's probably a greater respect for animation in America than in Japan.
What really scared me though was how long it takes to learn the language itself. I'm currently memorizing hiragana, but it apparently takes roughly 2,200 hours to be considered proficient in Japanese. Personally, I only want to be fluent in reading kana and kanji so I can understand Japanese games; so it probably won't take me nearly as long.

Do you mean that it takes 2,200 straight or in a period of time to learn just hiragana? and to be fluent in reading kana and kanji you need to know Hiragana and Katakana

No, I mean that it takes 2,200 hours to be fluent in EVERYTHING. Memorizing all of the kana should take perhaps a month or so depending on your schedule and work ethic. Kanji, however, takes a lot of time and practice. I haven't looked in to any learning methods on kanji yet, though.

oh okie i see that makes sense and the only learning method to kanji is just being fluent in understanding Hiragana and Katakana

That's true, but I do I go about memorizing all those kanji? There's literally thousands of them out there.
With kana, I'm able to retain the symbols very easily. It's the vocabulary that really stumps me. I could have learned all the kana quicker if I skipped over the vocabulary, but I didn't do that. After five hiragana or so, I go back and try to memorize all the vocabulary. That for me is very difficult. And I haven't even done ANYTHING on Japanese grammar yet.

I started taking Japanese lessons in April and have only just started to learn Kanji. I expect it'll take months for me to know enough to play video games, though. But Kanji has a lot of complicated readings and combinations. I know very few so far (I also hear that the AA series has a lot of complicated Kanji - probably because of law terms and such).
Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

There aren't any courses like that where I live. My school used to teach Japanese, but almost no one took it; so the course doesn't exist anymore. I can only learn written Japanese by myself. There are no other options for me.

Aren't there like 50,000 Kanji in existence or something? (I know there are so many that I don't think even the majority of native Japanese speakers know them all. I could be wrong, though.)

While it's true that over 50,000 kanji do exist, a majority of them aren't use in normal conversation or writing. Think about it. Do YOU know every English word that's ever existed? Of course not. The average Japanese person probably learns new words just like us English-speakers do from time to time.
The Japanese Ministry of Education has stated that there are 1,945 "official" kanji and these are the ones taught in all schools and commonly used by citizens.
You're right when you say Gyakuten Saiban's difficult. I can imagine a lot of the kanji being uncommon, and a lot of them don't have the furigana aid. My first Japanese-only game is going to be Ni no Kuni for the DS most likely. It's a very high quality game that's written entirely in kana. The dialogue isn't that hard because this is a game primarily aimed at Japanese children, meaning the game difficulty isn't that bad either. Still, it has the high standards of Studio Ghibli and it comes with an amazing hardcover spellbook.

That sucks that you dont have those classes anymore. maybe you should try rosetta stone i hear it works alot for people but if you find it easier learning it for yourself then you should do it

Yeah, I know. And that was BEFORE I was even interested in Japan.
That's funny, because I've heard the exact opposite. Many people just claim that's it's merely expensive software that's a total waste. Personally, I believe you can learn a lot more just by using free apps and other material. Plus, Rosetta Stone isn't going to help me that much since it primarily deals with speaking rather than writing.

I don't plan on living in the country either. I love the culture, but there's no way I'd ever fit in there. Japan is one of the most homogeneous places in the world, so I'd instantly be outed as a foreigner. I wouldn't have the same rights, and really; it's just too damn expensive to live there anyways.
Learning written Japanese is supposed to be more of a side hobby of mine. I just want to play Japanese games that were never released here. I know that sounds kind of pathetic, but video games do mean a lot to me after all.

I can understand that. I've been studying Japanese on my own without any official courses for about oh, 2 1/2 years. Of course, I haven't been studying it fervently until around last year, but it's been a slow process with lots of memorization.
In any case, I suggest starting on learning the grammar before attempting the kanji. There's no particular way to learn kanji other than gradually memorizing them. Just watch out for those odd exceptions that pop up rather frequently. However, the grammar is pretty much set aside from a few exceptions, and from there, slang is pretty easy to learn. This is a guide I've used for a while now, and it gives a pretty solid foundation for beginners.

Thanks. I originally started everything with this article, "How to Read Visual Novels in Japanese in 2 Years Time," and that was one of the guides they recommended.

I better just memorize all of the kana first, though.

Hahahahaha true. I especially imagine dialogue from someone like Edgeworth being quite difficult, though.
What I am using to help me, however, is the rikaikun app? The one which gives you readings for the different kana on certain sites with Japanese written in them. It's very useful for me, anyway.

Or getting to the bank on time, wearing really warm clothes in the winter, disguising yourself so you don't look TOO foreign, and hiding your anime and video games collection.

The bank would be a hassle but wouldnt they have online transfer services like some banks here in america? and warm clothes is easy just go to your local Uniqlo in japan
and ill make sure to lock all that up in a hole under my house

Ah yeah, Japan is a pretty homogenous society and even if you do make friends there and have a great time, you're apparently not ever going to truly belong there. I'm certainly not going there unless a) I know a decent amount of Japanese and b) I have a guaranteed job there first. It's certainly a country you need to be prepared for unless you're only going there for a holiday.
Also to live there you need to be there for a certain amount of time to get your citizenship

Look at Donald Keene. He's American and a permanent citizen of Japan.

exactly it took him a year to get citizenship which is almost the amount you gotta be staying there before getting it but to do that you need a visa
