There’s a documentary about exactly this. It’s called “The Sopranos”

I can see that. I made my comment as a barely romaji familiar level. I just think it’s neat that the complex language/writing has translated to the global era and digital era so well.

That’s the neat thing about typing Japanese when the keyboard knows. You can literally sound it out and have it turn into the character as you finish a syllable (or whatever the proper term is for Japanese)
