Hepburn Romanisation Gains Official Status in Japan Chud 12/18/25 (Thu) 04:05:08 №18952 [Quote]

The Japanese government announced on the 16th of December that the currently recognised system of Japanese romanisation, Kunrei-shiki, will be replaced with the more widely used Hepburn system which more accurately reflects the actual pronounciation of the Japanese language. This comes after an expert panel of the Cultural Affairs Agency recommended the switch in January last year.

Kunrei is superior for readers that actually know japanese, Hepburn is only useful for readers that don't even understand the rules of hiragana/katakana (the first things you learn when learning Japanese). This is just Japan trying to create ties to (((Western Audiences)))

But if you know Japanese then you can just read and write in Japanese.
