Probably not what you needed but I thought it might help a bit.

haha dude... that ain't just "speaking" japanese...

that is reading ****ing kanji... most people in japan and china can't even read half the language there are so many characters... and i only recognize a few of the katakana... which is far easier to read/understand...

but its been years since I took japanese... oddly, the only word I remember is atsui...

Kanji, which is what is primarily written here, is used by both the japanese and chinese

Yeah, but the symbols mean different things. They aren't the same.

kanji is one alphabet, of approx 80,000 characters, and is the same in japan and china.

The japanese have their own alphabet, which is easy to learn, called katakana (there is also a version called hiragana which includes some kanji)

it would certainly be feasible to take this sheet to a chinese person and see if they could understand it, or parts of it.

where is charley when you need him... he might know someone that could actually read this lol
