[Keno]

Like, seriously? It's a mark of stupidity, & yet everything is NEXT this, EXCEED that, & SOLDIER over there. When is Japan going to stop typing like a child?

Are comic books/strips cool?  Because I almost never see lowercase letters in those...

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

All caps makes it stand out more. Also makes things like in strips easier to read since all the letters are the same size.  In Japans case, It's not like Japan doesn't use lower case, they just don't care since it really makes no difference since it's the same letter and meaning either way. Unlike Kata and Hira which are used for specific reasons.

[Keno]

They should learn better & know when to use capital letters, like, I dunno, maybe with abbreviations & acronyms.

[Girla PurpleHeart]

They usually used lower case words when I visited some sites such as <Insert Japanese Text Here>English Text Goes Here. But I don't see much of the CAPS in some Japanese sites though. :/

[Keno]

They use it in titles to look cooler I think.

[Black Mage J]

Becuase it grabs attention plus it takes your eye away from the perverted games and makes you look at others, you pervert.

I never understood why that [parasitic bomb] was in the background

To be fair, the Japanese are not the only ones to use all-caps in titles.

[Keno]

Yea, but American stuff in all caps is always trash. Unless it's an acronym or abbreviation or something.

You know, I find your username incredibly ironic.

[Satoryu]

I didn't do it.

[Sky]

english is special to them. they find a word with a meaning they enjoy and capitalize it.

[Legendary]

You see, it's all that judgment of what they do and how they speak and how they ALLCAP things and how they drive that makes them want to withhold all the good stuff from us Americans when their games actually come over here...

The instant we learn to make love and not war with Japan is the instant my PS2/3 can has a happy time with Yakuza 3/4 and moar Sengoku Basara.

...okay, probably not, but could you imagine?
